Originally went here when they first opened and they have improved their quality of drinks and food. The Brekkie Burrito was delicious. The chipotle and salsa sauces that came with it increased the flavor immensely. The burrito comes with yummy yams. The Blue Basic Hojicha w/ Oatmilk made me want to cry. It was sooooo good. Hope they keep that on the menu forever. One of the best aesthetic coffee shops in the IE. Service was fast and friendly. I was the first customer at 6am on a Monday morning.

Roadrunner Coffee has such a chill vibe. The music is mellow, the atmosphere is relaxed, and it's the perfect place to slow down for a bit. We went around 8 AM and it wasn't crowded at all, which made it even better. If you're looking for a spot to grab a quick breakfast with a friend, catch up over coffee, or fuel up before heading out on a nearby hike or trail in downtown Redlands, I'd definitely recommend it. Just a heads-up: they don't allow pets inside, so plan accordingly if you're bringing your pup. read more

This cute, trendy coffee spot is nestled in downtown Redlands and is relatively new-ish. I discovered it on Instagram while searching for a new place to grab a tasty latte. To my surprise, I ended up trying a new drink that left quite the impression. On the barista's recommendation, I tried a roasted matcha drink called hojicha. The flavor was Salted Honeybee off their spring specialty drink menu and it tasted both delightful and unique. It had a slightly nutty, cocoa-like flavor that wasn't as earthy as regular matcha or as bold as coffee. The cold foam was absolutely delicious and paired perfectly with the drink. Definitely a great spot if you're looking to try something a little different than your usual coffee order! read more

I absolutely love this coffee shop! It was very busy when I walked in but I didn't have to wait long to order or for my drink! I decided to get a matcha drink with oat milk and add honey sweetener to it and it was delicious! The barista was making drinks so fast and he called out names as he put the drinks down. They also have an area for kids to play and my toddler loved it! I love the decor inside and they have tables and booths inside! read more

This cafe is a bit hidden, even though it's right in downtown. You would not know it's there unless you know where to look. It's right next to the Nichos ice cream. Roadrunner has a couple of small tables outside. Inside, it's a pretty big contemporary space. There is seating along the entrance and the walls. It was packed (Sunday afternoon). There were people working on laptops, chatting, or eating. There was long line to order. The line did move quickly. On the menu, there is some brunch items like sandwiches, toast, burrito, parfait, and salad. I ordered a blue basil matcha with whole milk, iced, 16oz and a brekkie burrito. I asked the cashier if the burrito was gluten free. He said no but that they can accommodate for it. I was surprised about that and it was nice to hear! He asked if it would be here or to go. I said to go since I saw the cafe had no empty tables. My total came out to $27, tip included. He gave me a number anyway, saying that's how the kitchen knows who to give it too. Drinks would be called by name. My drink was ready quickly. The blue basil matcha was sweet and unique. I've never had anything like it. A couple minutes after, my order was ready and luckily, I was able to find a table. The kitchen worker asked if I needed anything else and told me where I could find utensils and condiments. Since I did ask for to go, I got disposable plates. I saw people eating from dishes that wanted to eat inside. The burrito was good! I have never seen it prepared the way it was. It came with grapes, blackberries, and an orange slice. There's different options for the protein to choose from. I got bacon. It left me satisfied. Roadrunner is such a good spot and staff is friendly. Everyone was great! read more

Had an early birthday lunch here with my friend and her boyfriend, we all enjoyed our meals! My friend ordered the French toast, her partner got the breakfast burrito, but they ended up switching because she liked his better! While her bf usually doesn't like lavender, he said the French toast was sweet enough that the lavender wasn't overpowering or too strong. I tried the Tuscan sammie, it was sooo good! Very light and juicy at the same time Fair warning, they don't bring the drinks to you, and we hadn't heard ours being called so they sat at the counter for a while oops! My friend and I were surprised because they put cinnamon on top of her hot cocoa and my iced mocha (I generally don't like cinnamon, so I wish I knew this beforehand to ask not to include it). Either ways, the drinks were rich and flavorful! They also made pretty latte art in the shape of a heart on my friend's bf's latte Our server was hilarious! He brought out plates and I was so excited thinking it was ours so I said "oh!" and he gently corrected me saying it was for the next table over. I was a little embarrassed so I stayed quiet when he brought our food, and he joked "you're not gonna say it this time?" BAHAH had our whole table laughing They accidentally gave us a grilled cheese instead of the Tuscan sandwich I had ordered, and fixed it for us before we even noticed. Strangely though, they took back the grilled cheese? We hadn't touched it, but it feels like a waste if they just tossed it, and I sure hope they didn't end up giving it to whoever had originally ordered it since it sat at our table for a few minutes... read more

Love coming to try out newer coffee shops. And this one did not disappoint. Right smack in the middle of downtown Redlands where all the goodies are at. This coffee shop is modern, very well designed/decorated, sells their own merch, and is kids friendly. They are spacious for something of its kind, has a kids corner, staff are welcoming and efficient, not only was my coffee delicious but my salad was even better! I'm looking forward to spending more time here. read more

This coffee shop is around the corner from my work and it is a very cute spot! It's esthetically pleasing because it's clean, bright and has a very open space with multiple seating arrangements. They even have a cute space for children. I've only been there a couple of times, but I want to go more often! It is most certainly a busy place, but they are also pretty quick at serving you. I've had their Brekkie Burrito which was to die for! I've also had a couple bites of their Sandstone Sammie which was delish. The food tastes clean, is mostly organic, seed oil free and very flavorable. They also have vegetarian options for those looking. Yesterday I ordered a Carrot Cake Latte from their Spring Specials menu and it was so so good! If you love carrot cake, that is most definitely for you. My Manager was with me and she ordered the same latte, and wanted to try their Pink Guava Lemonade too. I had a sip of that and it was very refreshing and a perfect summer drink, so I hope they keep it on the menu! I will be back... read more

I bought their seasonal matcha cloud drink and it came out quickly for being a packed house on a Sunday evening. The drink itself had a beautiful green color, but had a vegetal matcha taste that wasn't the most appealing (and I love a savory matcha). The coconut cream top added a hint of sweetness. Every time I sipped it, I questioned why they chose it as a signature seasonal drink. It was still refreshing due to the use of coconut water. They do have a sign that urges you to get your drink adjusted if you're not satisfied. I love the cafe interior here because it's so bright and welcoming. I appreciated their variety in seating, such as the solo bay-window seats, regular table seats, bar-chairs, and large booth seats. I was able to study fairly comfortably, especially because they had outlets! I'll definitely try their other teas and coffees another time because I'm sure they have done better! read more

Went there on a Sunday afternoon. I was greeted by someone at the front. It's really bright decor inside. Wanted to try something new in Redlands and wanted to make sure that they served in real glasses. I got the flat white my daughter's got a mocha and a latte in glassware. I asked about the blend and it had Ethiopian and Colombian mix. I could taste the bite of the Ethiopian bean when I drank the flat white. Not a fan of Ethiopian coffee, but it still was a good cup of coffee. Unfortunately, I saw cockroach underneath the table there. I would say it's a decent place to go. I just don't think I like the blend of coffee there. But it's worth anyone giving a try. read more

We ordered the flat white and cold chocolate milk both with oat milk. The drinks were very good. The flat white had a strong coffee flavor and went down smooth with no bitterness. Server was friendly and service was prompt. Ambiance of the place was inviting with rock music playing through the air, a good number of patrons sitting and enjoying their drinks, and an ample amount of seats. We enjoyed our time in this quaint shop and we would come back here again read more

The Roadrunner is an eye pleasing stunner with a kids corner that makes this a little bit funner. Coffee is fire just like Joe Strummer! You can't afford to pass this place up because if you do it would be a bummer. If the drinks are good now then I can hardly wait for the summer. But if I do?! I'd feel like Dumb and Dumber! I can't let that happen so I'll be on it like a twenty four seven plumber! Riding in s supped up Hummer. ???? read more

Roadrunner Coffee is such a great addition to downtown Redlands! Whether I'm looking for a place to study, catch up with friends, or just enjoy a good coffee, this spot always delivers. The atmosphere is welcoming and has plenty of space to settle in for a while. The food and drinks are consistently on point, and everything I've tried has been delicious. It's quickly become one of my favorite places in the area, and I always look forward to stopping by whenever I'm downtown. read more

This super cute little coffee shop just opened in October and it is amazing. The coffee is so good, and I love that they're very kid-oriented. They even have a little kids' play area with a mini coffee shop setup, which is adorable. It makes it such a great spot for moms to gather and actually enjoy their drinks while the kids stay entertained. This isn't really a quiet study or work-from-your-laptop type of place, it's more of a gathering and conversation kind of coffee shop, which I personally love. The servers are super friendly, the prices are reasonable, and the whole place has this charming desert coffee shop vibe. When you walk in, it just feels warm and welcoming. Such a cute spot with a really cool atmosphere. I'll definitely be back and highly recommend checking it out! read more

Parking was a synch for a Sunday morning! We parked in the back and made our way to the coffee shop. The line was insane and constant. It was difficult finding a table to do work at and we felt very discouraged. There were a lot of people saving the tables instead of ordering first. Their WiFi also did not work, since it was packed inside. We ordered their gingerbread latte and a citrus bloom. Their gingerbread latte was very sweet. I couldn't taste my coffee. The citrus bloom was full of citrus. It was okay. It resembled the orange chocolate balls that you would buy during the holiday season. The servers weren't the nicest. They seem stressed. It was chaotic and noisy inside, so not super ideal for work, even with headphones on. Needless to say, I don't think we'd be back on a weekend. Probably will attempt a weekday in the future. read more

RoadRunner Coffee is a charming new addition to State Street in downtown Redlands. Parking on the street can be hit or miss, but there are nearby options and it's very walkable. The shop has a super cute, social-media-worthy aesthetic, and while there was a line out the door when we arrived, it moved quickly. The barista was friendly and efficient without being overly chatty. Drink prices are what you'd expect from a local coffee spot. We skipped food this visit but ordered a mocha--my husband said it was delicious and perfectly chocolatey--and an iced matcha for me, which was decent and served in a unique cup. The space was lively with people studying and chatting, and it's bigger than it looks from the front. There's even a children's area in the back with a pretend coffee shop, which is a thoughtful touch. I loved the signs on the larger tables encouraging gathering and socializing rather than long work sessions--it really keeps the community vibe. Wi-Fi is available if you ask. Overall, RoadRunner Coffee already feels like a neighborhood staple. read more

A lovely spacious cafe in the middle to DTR and fell in love the moment I stepped in. They have plenty of seating and booths for chatting with friends, enjoying a meal, or even studying. Friendly staff and really cute aesthetic--giving Joshua Tree minimal desert chic. My friend got the vanilla matcha, not too sweet and good matcha. I got the seasonable gingerbread foam matcha and it was delicious. I was hesitant to try something seemingly too sweet but the gingerbread foam was the right amount of spice and creaminess for the matcha. I thoroughly enjoyed the drinks and the space of the coffee shop. I want to try the food next--everything looks and smells delicious! read more

On par with the other reviews, this is a hopping coffee shop but the line runs smoothly & quickly! I checked out the Carrot Cake Latte special & it was so flavorful & fun! It was served on the best pebble ice & with a baby carrot to top. The cold foam was a real treat to balance the spices of the latte, I would recommend! I also got the last slice of coffee cake (it was 3:30p after all) for an afternoon treat which was delicious as well. Instead of a dryer dense coffee cake, it was fluffy and spongy with nice swirls of cinnamon inside. Can't wait to come back to try their other pastries in the box. I appreciated that they said they generally keep anything with nuts in a separate container to avoid cross contamination. That is usually a struggle to verify ingredients when ordering at cafes and pastry boxes, so that was such a nice piece of mind. If you don't mind a short wait, you're in for a nice treat at RoadRunner Coffee read more

come for brunch! I have been to roadrunner several times and I enjoy their food a lot!! The tomato soup and grilled cheese is my go to and is probably the best one in the area The burrito has a lot of yam but it is very hearty And the sammich is very tasty too Seasonal drinks are okay I'd rather get a plain hot vanilla latte at this spot than a complicated drink This spot knows how to stick to their classics and as much as new drinks are fun, you can't go wrong with a classic this spot gets busy very fast, if you're in a rush skip this place. If you're okay waiting, I'd recommend! Overall rating 8/10 read more

RoadRunner Coffee - Sandstone sandwich with bacon sooooo good - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Redlands, California

As of December 2025, they are relatively new but have already become a favorite locals spot. (Be patient: the lines were long at the breakfast and lunch hours when I dropped by.) On this visit we dropped by on a holiday, and they were fully staffed and in full swing. This coffee shop has a very open and clean design. The service area is centrally located, and was quick and efficient. This is a family orientated coffee shop (See my pic of the children's area for serving their own.) They sell Moon Oat roaster's coffee. As a plain cup of coffee, it's a bit strong and acidic. As you can see from my menu pics, while they service food, it's a bit limited (but also has a kid's selection). read more

After wanting to try this place since their opening, I finally made it in tonight. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they're open until 6pm, which is not the case for most coffee shops! I tried their Tuscan chicken sandwich and a cortado. The food was delicious, and the presentation was beautiful. I loved the attention to detail with the tiny flowers mixed in with the fruit. The coffee tasted a little burnt, but it wasn't bad. I'll likely try a latte for my next visit. The service was very good here as well! All the employees were super friendly and helpful, even shortly before closing. The overall vibe of the cafe is comfy and aesthetic, and a place that I could see myself wanting to come back to time and time again. Very IG worthy if you're into that heehee. I'm excited to come back and try some of their other food options! read more

VERY cute in here. It's a great study spot (which most of their customers seem to do). It's a newer place but ive already heard so many great things about this cafe so I had to try it. The matcha is delicious, though I wish they had more options for sweetener. Their food is great; including the refrigerated snacks, soups, and sandwiches. I can't wait until they have gluten free options so my loved ones can try the food. I also enjoy the friendly staff and love the idea that they have a little kids corner in the back. I would love to see more seating for booths (I sat in a booth and the other side didn't have chairs). I don't think I really have anything to complain about this place besides the fact that people love it so much that it's always so crowded. it's become one of my new favorites. read more

Always fun when new coffee shops open in town! The ambiance is what makes this one unique. Beautiful atmosphere. However, comparable to coffee and matcha in the area. Didn't love that it was additional to add each flavored syrup.. A little busy to have it be "study-able" but still a fun spot/option to have around! Will need to return when I'm hungry to try the food! read more

We came here on grand opening day and had such a wonderful experience, their coffee shop is absolutely beautiful and since then we've been regular customers ever since. However, during our visit today (a Saturday morning around 11 a.m.), which I understand is one of their busiest times, I was a bit disappointed. They were out of French toast, so I decided to switch my order to the Mediterranean Drift Salad, but shortly after ordering, I was told they were also out of quinoa. I completely understand that busy days can be hectic, but it would be great if they could plan ahead and keep extra stock of popular ingredients on weekends. The food and service are usually great, which is why I'll still come back, but I hope they can improve consistency on busy days. read more

Aesthetic new coffee shop in downtown Redlands. Parking may be limited to 30 minutes or 2 hours based on where you park in the downtown area. Tons of seating inside and outlets for studying. Since it just opened it's a bit too busy to study at but would be a good place for students in the future on weekdays. Max brunch groups of 4-6 based on table size. Service was pleasant. They do offer rewards by phone number. Drinks were well appreciated both matcha and coffee. In my opinion the matcha is better than the coffee but I would want to go back and try a cortado or cappuccino to say definitively. At this time they don't have any special drinks which I found a bit disappointing but understandable as they just opened. Syrups are homemade, options include honey, brown sugar, vanilla, pumpkin, and mint. From what I could tell they use Califa oat and almond milk. Did not have a chance to try any food at this visit. I might still favor slow bloom or fireproof based on their specialty drinks but this location has more food, more seating, and still solid drinks - depends what you're looking for! read more

New coffee shop in downtown Redlands. Was informed by a local to try it out and not be in a rush since the wait can be up to 40 minutes. What?! I wasn't about to do that, so I made it my mission to be the first person in line when it opened at 7a. From ordering to the moment I received my full order (coffee first, then food), I was out the door in 20 minutes. Pros: Located in State street where there is ample parking in the morning hours. Beautiful space with modern decor, that has a indoor dining feel with plenty of room to do work, relax, or people watch. Friendly baristas and staff. Cons: Mid coffee with expensive price tag (see photo of 12 oz iced mocha). Lack luster breakfast burrito (see photo). Something was off about the toast I ordered, and can't quite pinpoint it. Total bill was almost $35 for 1 coffee and 2 food items. The wait is REAL, and I was the first person there. Do I regret it? No. Will I return? Also probably no. Especially since the line gets LONG within 10 minutes of opening. The local's advice was correct. Check it out. But don't be in a rush or you might be disappointed. read more

Let's start with the amazing, kind and professional staff at Roadrunner. They are what really make my day everyday before work. I am a creature of habit so when I find a drink I like I don't venture out. The drinks I have tried and absolutely love are the salted honeybee Hojicha( spring) and now the blueberry Hojicha(summer) they are nothing like I've ever had anywhere else.
