My boyfriend was visiting SoCal for 4th of July weekend. I was in need of coffee after waking up early to drive up from San Diego to pick him up from Ontario International Airport. I found this little gem on the way to brunch with his brother! The location that we went to is located next to Cosmic Bakery and close to where the Upland Farmer's Market during the weekends (or Saturday only?) is held on N 2nd Ave in Upland. There are a lot of free street parking and parking lots to park at. The shop had a variety of specialty drinks, but they all sounded very sweet without enough coffee. But they seemed sooo good... so my boyfriend and I compromised to get an actual coffee and one of their specialty blended. We got the #Bonesbrew over ice and Cookies n' Scream. The #Bonesbrew hit the spot in waking me up but the flavor wasn't really that great to me. The other one, however, was suuuper good! Loved the blend of the cookies and coffee. But it was very sweet. I also wished there was a little more coffee but it was expected with the amount of sugar that was in the drink LOL. Still loved it over my coffee though. Overall, a great place to get some crazy specialty blended if you're not necessarily looking for coffee. That cookies n' scream was delicious! Would love to come back again in the future. Also, there were a ton of merch for purchase. read more

Grate coffee drinks! Love the vibe! Grate to go on dates too! Service is quick and easy to pick up. Clothing merch is grate as well

Didn't have a good experience service wise, but their coffee was alright. Nothing special though for the price

Best coffee it's not exactly coffee more like a milkshake type but it is delicious!! I recommend for sure as I used to get it all the time. It is definitely more sugary than just a normal iced coffee read more

Barista was sweet and helpful suggesting the cookies and scream drink and I loved it. Super cute place with lots of nifty stuff( mugs )for sale. Will be back! Thank you for the Cookie Monster drink read more

Goopiest matcha I ever had. I don't know what was going on that day but my matcha was legit thick. I asked for Oat Milk so I'm not sure if that's just what their oat milk is like? It was like thick water. It was so hard to get down. Service was ok. Only thing I like abt this place is their wall. Bad first experience :( read more

This was our first visit here. We came during the lemon festival and they were busy but the line moved quickly. A lot of the inside space along the walls is dedicated to merchandise and some to baked goods from Cosmic Bakery. Not really anywhere to sit, there were only two small benches by the door. Our order: 1x Dracula 16oz $6.25 red velvet blended with white chocolate chips and a hint of almond, topped with black whipped cream. Taste was good, not too sweet, could taste the chocolate chips, but beware of the black whip cream. A bit spilled under the lid and it actually stained my hand. 1x The Wolf 23oz $10 4 shots of espresso, cold brew concentrate, chocolate sauce and hazelnut syrup Liked the strong coffee taste, not too sweet or syrupy read more

the coffee was good (got the Wolf) but I lowk felt really queasy after drinking it. ive never had this reaction before to coffee/caffeine. i did hear there were some hygiene issues with the place so I hope it isnt that. servers were nice tho lol read more

Quaint-sized shop with powerful, one-of-a-kind taste offerings! Progressive and Punk-themed wall surroundings made this a fun, worthwhile visit. This is a take out only establishment, but the retro posters and trinkets keep you busy while awaiting your order and reminiscing on past experiences. Friendly, informative, and highly efficient Baristas prepped our order. I ordered an iced Spanish Latte and was very glad I made this choice! My only regret was I didn't order a larger size. It was perfectly recipied with 3 shots of espresso, condensed milk, an additional layer with your choice of milk and a cinnamon spice mix. Rad Coffee was a great start to our day as the sun started beaming through Upland, CA. Don't miss out on this coffee experience! read more

Falsy advertising that they serve cold brew when they no longer do.. their barista tried making up a story after admitting they stopped making it.. coffee now taste like a cup of water downd Starbucks, been coming here long before they ever made a name for them selfs and idk what happened but it's has just never tasted the same after they phocusd on opening stores instead of paying the correct employees what they were worth.. no longer a customer read more

A pretty groovy place to be for sure! They have different kinds of drinks being offered and each one is very unique! My best friend is a coffee drinker, but I'm not, however; they have other options too! So I got a Cookies 'n Creme non-coffee based drink with blue whipped cream and Cookie Crisp cereal on top! It was a hot day out, so this was the perfect drink to have. There are horror themed items and merchandise for purchase. My best friend got a t-shirt, and I got a lapel pin. On the walls, there are LOTS of stickers too! Very cool to look at it. I would recommend this place for sure! read more

This was a fun little coffee spot. Lots of horror themed drinks. There is also more basic options like Mochas and lattes. Service is really nice. The employees are friendly and quick to get orders. They sell a selection of merch seasonally too. I just wish that more of the signature drinks came sugar free. read more

Delicious coffee not to sugary for blended drinks , cool concept. Service is speedy and parking is accessible. Location is open until 12am which is great for a coffee lover like myself. The ambiance is mellow , they have goodies like donuts and bake goods in the front also stickers , pins and more. I love the concept here read more

I have been to their Long Beach location and I'm happy to say this one is just as good :) Same punk atmosphere, same great drinks!! They make all the regular coffee shop drinks but the stars are their specialty drinks that you will find nowhere else :) I had the 32oz iced The Wolf: 4 espresso shots, cold brew concentrate, mocha, organic hazelnut & cinnamon powder. My Son had the 32oz iced The Great White: 4 espresso shots, cold brew concentrate, white mocha, organic almond & caramel sauce. Both drinks tasted great and packed a nice jolt :) Would I order them again... Yes!! And plan on doing it soon! Rad Coffee is located in the historic downtown district so there are plenty of other shops to stroll thru while you finish you drinks. The shop is clean (especially for a punk place LOL) and lots of merch but no place to sit. The staff was friendly but busy and they still got the drinks out quick. Plenty of street parking and a nearby city parking lot. read more

My daughter comes here all the time. So last night as a pre-Valentines Day thing, I brought her here after a nice dinner and evening walk. Located in downtown Upland, It's a small little place, but the younger crowd seems to love it! The guy at the cashier took our order and made our drinks. He was really cool and nice. My daughter ordered a Zombie Lemonade. I tasted it, and it was good. I ordered a hot Hazelnut Latté. It was good as well. For my first visit here, we enjoyed as we walked around more after with our drinks in hand. I was glad to see my daughter happy at Valentines Day time!!! Definitely will try other items here in the future. I know she will be back . read more

We were in San Bernardino today, so on the way back we stopped at Rad Coffee. We normally go here a few times a year as their menu of drinks changes all the time. I got the. Ride which is chocolate and Oreo cookies and mint iced coffee and it was super good. One daughter got the Lavender Latte cold and was great. And my other daughter got the Spanish Latte which was condensed milk with oat milk, vanilla and cinnamon. WOW was it good. They also bought a jacket and a glass as the have merch and little desserts for sale as well. If in the area stop and get a drink. The staff is always helpful with suggestions. read more

Quick stop for coffee, i usually don't like dark blend and prefer the blonde or medium roast. This place only had the dark roast. Surprised! It wasn't too much or bitter. They also have some cool gear. read more

I've been going to this coffee shop for at least four years now and all I gotta say is consistency is key. I love the vibe and the energy anytime I walk into this coffee shop Rad coffee always has great service and their drinks have remain the same and when seasonal drinks come in, it's even better. Also, my favorite barista works at this coffee shop. Her name is Jacqui she is so sweet in her energy is top notch. If you're in the area and looking for good Coffee rad is where to go also for anyone with a sweet tooth. read more

I'm so glad this place has done so well!! Stopped in today on Mother's Day. I love it that they have K cup pods for home now. My drink was yummy (Electric Mango) but it was my second choice as they were out of the Mad Tiki. And they are selling sweets that are made by Cosmic Bakery and looks like they have a new shop next door with all vegan treats! read more

0/5 stars, workers need to review their quality of customer service and lack of ethics. also coffee is subpar.

First time trying out this location. Location is very busy parking can take a bit to find. The beverages offered are on the board they have certain specials. Explained to barista that it was our first time and she showed us March specials only nothing on the board. They are very cut and dry with customers. Not very friendly after you place order. Wanted to purchase a few items and they don't have prices on items. There's no bathrooms in surrounding area need to travel a few blocks to where they have farmers market. My cereal killer drink was good asked for extra shot of Expresso and it was still very sweet not a big coffee flavor. It was good but nothing like images on yelp or on Instagram. My husband got a lemonade and it had a good flavor. We want to try a different drink next time now that we know we have to go in knowing what we really want to purchase. read more

I've been coming to this Location since they opened but lately the baristas have been very rude to me when I order a drink I ask a question and I get attitude. Then they mess up my drink order and when I tell them I didn't ask for they argue and don't even offer to fix the mistake. Last time I came in I ordered a drink and the barista she had a major attitude problem she was friendly with everyone else but not me not sure what I did but I'm not happy at all with the service and the drinks now.. read more

I found this place when I was searching up unique coffee shops and I decided to go here cause it was on my way. Normally I don't go to coffee shops due to my usual high level of caffeine I take, my level of caffeine is about the 4 digit. Since I ran out I went here instead I tried their drink the wolf which contains 4 shots of espresso with mocha hazelnut and cinnamon. The cup was 32 oz and cost about 10 bucks. In my opinion this coffee wasn't strong enough for me but it's better than most chain coffee shops. Environment 10/10 so much art I love it Staff 10/10 nice and friendly Taste 8/10 tasty but again wasn't strong enough for me Cost 10/10 you pay for a tasty drink for a reasonable price i say worth it read more

When this place first opened the windows were wide open and the walls were pretty bare. I love to see how many posters and flyers fill the walls and the windows. I feel like they give their customers an opportunity to decorate the space that they love to come in to. The drinks are always fun and delicious. I just wish they had a restroom for their customers. read more

I use to look forward to my morning coffee and my favorite barista. I've been traveling the last month and was shocked when I walked in yesterday and no Jenna. She made the best latte and actually interacted with her customers. Her customer service was top notch, the new people not so much and they can't make a latte to save their life, how about to train them all how to make a proper coffee so you at least have constancy if you can't get friendly baristas. read more

Such good coffee. I love the theme, the gimmick the rock and roll / punk energy this coffee shop brings. Service was fast and friendly. Thank you baristas for the great tasting Cinnamon Toast Crunch coffee I ordered. Definitely coming back soon to try other flavors. read more

This review is long overdue as I've been here numerous times :) First off... am I the only one that still gets confused on how to open their door? Lol or is it just me ..... probably just me. Anyways, I'm not a huuuuge person .. more like a tea person but the coffee here is AMAZING. Anytime I feel like staying up way past my bed time, this will do it. I really like their green tea matcha and vanilla lavender cold brew. They always add new stuff to their menu so tons and tons of options. Customer service here is always great. Upbeat and very kind :) I haven't purchased any of their merch buuuuuut I did pick up their krampus blend. Excited to try it. Overall .. 1000/10. read more

The drinks here are lacking honestly. I've been here many times over the years and always find myself disappointed with my drinks. Their coffee recently has had an odd taste to it that I only find happens here. Also noticed they were temporarily closed for health/safety reasons which is alarming. I really want to love this place but I just don't. read more

Good solid coffee with an edgy vibe, but too much merch. It's a grab-to-go place, and I wish it had seating.

Something has changed at red coffee. I used to go in all the time and have one of the staff' make my coffee whether it was John or Jenna or bash. They would ask me about the things we had talked about before or if I was going to the hospital this morning. but now that they're gone, I don't feel like I need to go in as much I feel like I'm not the only person that feels that way because it was not uncommon on Saturday For a line to be formed. It's really sad too because the new people are making my drink and they're fine at it. They're not great That magic thing that made me want to go there is gone. read more

Always a go to location spot when in this area. Classic Punk Rock blast to the past! It appears they have expanded the gifts, mugs, and merchandise section as well. Service is always friendly and quick for such a busy spot on the weekends. If you are in the area, and enjoy music or you do not. Stop in any ways Thank You for reading read more

Awesome atmosphere inside! The staff is always great to interact with, and the drinks never disappoint.

Small little gem in Upland, the "Cookies and Scream" was my favorite drink I tried! Love that it's opened until midnight for the late night sweet cravings. The vibe of the store was edgy and such a cool place for pictures! The employees were nice and service was great, our drinks came out quickly. The drink I got was made with coffee, cookies, cereal, with housemade blue whipped cream! The drink was not extremely sweet or overbearing. The whipped cream was fluffy and dense, however the blue dye did stain my mouth a little. The flavor was pretty tasty, a mix of chocolate and coffee, but more on the chocolate side. If you decide to check this place out, would highly recommend the "cookies n scream." Will be coming back eventually to try the other drinks! read more

We came here to wait for our dinner reservation at Allegro which was down the street. The drinks we ordered were really good especially the cookies and scream. I love anything cookies and cream related and I like that they put cereal on top. I was not expecting the whip cream to be a different color. I was so tempted to buy the rice krispy but I felt like that was too big backed to get with my drink so i refrained. The barista was working alone but she was very nice and worked fast considering the amount of people that came through the door after us. read more

The interior is very interesting with a lot of stickers, merch, music, etc. and it's very inviting. The service was good, and they got my order quickly. I had a mocha latte, and it was okay. The milk was overly frothed which I didn't mind, and the taste was good for the price. read more

the interrior design was not as good as the coffee that they delivered. expecting too much on the beans and milk ratio, but it was all way below expectation. it was just like milk and sugar. read more

If I could give this place zero stars I would. Went in for a quick coffee before work which turned out to be a terrible idea. The girl who took my order, who was apparently the manager was super rude and dismissive. It being my first time also wasn't exactly a good way to keep me coming back. Then as i'm waiting for my coffee, I can see cockroaches in the wall I don't know what kind of place they're running but I got my coffee, and immediately threw it away. WILL NOT BE RETURNING. read more
