Super dope coffee shop! Service was great and the atmosphere was so different and cool. Really unique flavors and names of their drinks. Definitely give this spot a try!

I've only visited Rad Coffee maybe 2x total. I always drive by it and should probably make more trips here. The location is in downtown Covina and parking is available out front, but there's a big lot behind the building. I always love their logo and decor inside the coffee shop. They have a wide variety of coffee and specialty drinks on their menu. They offer build your own drink options and cereal chiller drinks. Not to mention, seasonal and/or monthly drinks. The staff here have been cool each time I have visited. They are friendly and work efficiently fast. The location has so much to offer. They have merch, mugs, and sweets to grab if you have a craving. The aesthetics are very unique and during Halloween time they deck the whole place. The cool part of Rad Coffee is they have pinball machines to play in the back of the location. As far as the drinks. They are delicious. I needed some coffee so I went with the Salty Caramel with oat milk. The drink was ready in about 2-3 minutes. The drink has good level of sweetness and the right amount of caffeine. The boost I needed to get through a busy work day. :D Overall, Rad Coffee has always been well known in Covina and I recommend anyone to come by and visit this one of a kind Coffee shop. Thanks, Rad Coffee! ( ^_^)b

Parking on the street or garage parking near by. Service was chill and quick. The place has some arcade games in the back. Coffee was okay. Salty Carmel - okay The ripper - okay

Peanut butter crunch
Jasmine H.

Stumbled upon this spot randomly and turned out to be an amazing little coffee shop! Cold brews are fantastic and the cereal drinks are delicious as well. Highly recommend the peanut butter crunch and will be back soon to try the other cereal drinks. There's also some pinball machines in the back to keep you busy while you wait. Lovely staff!! 10/10

Cool service with great coffee. Tucked away in downtown Covina, I stopped by after lunch in the area. Service was very friendly and I got my drink really quickly even though it was mildly busy. I ordered a vanilla latte, half sweet. The prices are good here and the coffee is very bold in flavor without being too acidic. I enjoyed it a lot definitely recommend!

It was awful just tasted like a bottle of salt from the ocean

I don't think they put right portions because I ordered a salted caramel latte and it literally just Ed tasted like I drank salt mixed with water. Spat out immediately

Order a 24oz iced latte and got a 21oz. As expensive as the coffee is, you'd expect full cup of coffee!

Rad not so "Rad" - Ordered a 24 ounce latte ended up getting a 20 ounce - as expensive as coffee is, you'd expect a full cup. Also, the people are not Rad at all - not friendly period!

LIKE TOTALLY RAD COFFEE!! This place is a fun punk themed coffee shop with delicious coffee! What makes it so RAD is the pinball machines! I am a pinball enthusiast so I loved this. We ordered a hot and iced latte with oatmilk and coconut syrup. The coffee was delicious. The store sells a lot of merch. I did find it odd that there was no inside or outside seating. For me personally the pinball machines made up for it but I think that might be a problem for some people.

I've seen rad coffee on IG for a while now and have finally made my way to trying it. Ordered the Spanish latte and enjoyed it. We asked for less sweet and I would honestly order it again. We were pleasantly surprised with the pin ball machines in the back! They had a nice collection of them and I was glad they had a machine where we could get change. I will say that it did feel odd inside with amount of random things you could buy, from stickers to mugs, sweaters to other snacks, and more. Like maybe there used to be tables and chairs inside? But they replaced it with all the stuff they're trying to sell. The placement of the merch stuff makes it so awkward, almost like someone just said hey let's just set all this stuff up and see if it sells without considering flow. Idk. Kind of a shame, I would have considered working on my laptop there if that meant I'd be able to take breaks and lose all my dollar bills to the pin ball machines with a cup of Spanish latte. Would I grab another latte if I was in the area? Sure. Would I go out of my way to get it? Nah.

This cafe is nice and it's cool for anybody to experience as a first time. I don't have pictures of the drinks, but they did have a variety of unique drinks that range from refreshers, frappes, coffees, etc. This cafe is also very artsy, they have nice art on the wall, merch, and even cool retro games to play. However, I do wish this place had a dine in or outdoor dine out as well at least, it's more of a get and go type of cafe where you can walk around and look at the atmosphere and the vibes are cool too as well. I thinks it's worth it to stop by and experience it at least once for anyone :)

Coffee is great and prices are about eh...fair. A cookie is about $5 and I believe it's home made style. If you like the rock, goth style this is your place. It's in Downtown Covina and parking can be a bit challenging on a Friday night. Service is good and attentive. The menu is interesting. It's intriguing if you have a curious mind.

spanish latte

Lattes are 90% ice and 10% espresso and milk. I wanted to like it so I asked for a remake and the latte in the photo is the second drink they gave me with "less ice". Broke two straws trying to get them through the ice in the drink? Kind of let this ruin my day. Two stars tho for the customer service, I appreciate the remake! Sorry, I just didn't like the way they make their drinks here :/ Watery lattes

Overly sweet white mocha
Sarah O.

Either rad fell off , or my taste buds elevated. Got the white mocha , SUPER sweet with no hint of coffee . We also asked for easy sweet . I'd say if you like your drinks very sweet you will like this place , as for me I do prefer the coffee taste . Still give it a chance if it's your first time, It's a Cool place and atmosphere & interesting merch to browse/ purchase.

I've been coming here since high school over a decade now, after a friend first introduced me, and…read moreit's still one of my go-to spots. The boba is always fresh and warm, and the quality and flavor have stayed consistent over the years, which I really appreciate. I also love that you can customize the sweetness level to your preference, and they offer blended options too, which I personally prefer--it makes such a difference. It's been nice to see them grow without compromising what makes them good. The service is solid, though there can be a bit of a wait during busy times. Seating is limited since the space is on the smaller side, so I'd recommend grabbing your drink to-go.

However most recently they hired a new staff and our usual order has been a problem now. We would order a half caramel half vanilla shake but when we went in today we asked one of the new workers Gisselle if she could make it and immediately was rude and stated "yeah we're not allow to make that" when we said it's something we've never had a problem ordering before she became more aggressive and rude stating the other people can make it but she's not. Sad to say after over a decade of supporting this business we will not be returning due to this experience.

I like the presentation of all the pastries and desserts. The drinks are OK but nothing special from what I've tried. Granted I don't drink coffee or much tea so that throws out a lot. These are why it gets 2 stars. Now for the disappointing. While the pastries look great, they have that La Croix feel. The ones that say chocolate have the faintest aftertaste of once being near a cocoa bean. The texture of most of those are perfectly fine, with the rare exception of the partially cooked muffin I just had. Thus is the main gripe I have with this place, the pastries.
