I literally drove 65 miles to try this place out. Was it worth the drive? Yes! Was the line really long? Yes! Was the drinks amazing? Absolutely But to be fair, I only had a tea that was adjusted because I cannot have a lot of sugar. What I could tell from what other people order, it look delicious. The inside of the cafe was definitely my style and I took all kinds of pics. I love the horror theme layout. This was definitely a must stop place for coffee lovers. read more

A horror-themed coffee shop located in Yucaipa. Very interesting place--lol, there's a lot of horror memorabilia. I ordered the Chorrona, which is a horchata and cinnamon blended cold brew. It was too sweet for my liking. read more

My little home away from home. The coffee is delicious and the owners and staff are welcoming, kind and friendly. Plus the vibes are TOP NOTCH. I take all my visiting friends here and they love it. You could tell they put all their heart into this place, the decor, the music, the movies, the drinks, the welcome. Thank you Roast the Dead!!!! read more

We stopped in Yucaipa on our way to Los Angeles from Phoenix specifically to try Roast the Dead Coffee, and they did not disappoint. We love all things spooky, and the décor was amazing, packed with iconic horror film characters and such a fun atmosphere. I ordered a matcha latte, which was pretty good, and everyone in my group loved their drinks. I'll absolutely come back the next time I'm in the area.I'm giving them 4 stars only because the service felt a bit lacking. There was no greeting when we walked in, and the interaction was very basic. A little more warmth would've made the experience perfect. read more

Best horror coffee shop I have been too and I've been to a handful of them. This one hit the nail on the coffin because it screamed horror from the outside and the inside was holy moly a horror movie scream. First off the creativity put into this horror coffee shop was a 10 but the coffee itself tied it all together because they didn't only make a tasty coffee they also made it spooky :) Now let's talk about the staff Welcoming welcoming welcoming !!!!! The were the sweetest people ever We came into town for a wedding and we are so happy we came across this coffee shop we will be going back one last time before hitting the road back home :) read more

I love coming here when I get the chance ! I've so far tried their matcha drink , the Freddy red velvet one , and the children of the oats drink (my new personal favorite) and every single one of them was 10/10 !! Employees are always so sweet and professional and the vibe of this place is always welcoming even with the spooky elements . It can get pretty packed in there since it's a small shop and limited parking space if it's busy just FYI so be prepared to park somewhere nearby or across the street if needed . read more

I happened to be out this way so my girlfriend asked me to stop by and pick her up a coffee drink on the way back home. We have been here several times and this is a must see place for horror movie fans. The decor is amazing with so many horror characters featured and on this visit there was an additional Christmas theme since it's December. All of the drinks have fun horror themed names and can be customized. She wanted the ginger dead cookie cold brew with almond milk. I'm not a coffee guy but they also have teas and lemonade. The Creepsickle strawberry shortcake lemonade is one of the best and creamiest I've ever had. Service has always been fast and friendly. It is pretty small and there is a limit of eight people inside at once. The outside of the building even has paintings of horror movie characters. read more

Honestly this is my favorite coffee spot. I make it a point to drive out once a year for Halloween time. Cutest and spookiest set up. Parking conveniently located next door to the shop. Cute horror mural on the side of the building. Front of the shop is just as cute and amazing. If you go early you avoid lines. Even if there is a line there is vendors off to the side to keep guest busy. Once you go inside, its small but mighty. Heavily decorated with Halloween decorations. Old 80s movie icons everywhere. All drinks are themed by Horror movie characters. There is also lots of merch inside. The staff is very pleasant and helpful. They advertise local events as well. Must stop and see for Halloween or just all year around! read more

We took a trip far away from us to check out Roast the dead coffee. This was back in 2021, though we haven't been back I am wanting to make another trip to experience it all over again. The props were amazing, loved the spooky vibe and the coffee selections were great too. Though I'm a simple gal and get iced coffees, it was very tasty. read more

As a classic horror films fan , I knew I had to visit this coffee shop .. on my first visit I was pleasantly impressed, not only is the horror decorations on point, but their creative drinks are definitely worth trying ! They have a great selection and variety of drinks which is why I know I'll be returning soon. I tried the "Regan" which is an iced matcha w whip cream almond milk . It's a classic drink I've had at other coffeehouses (same taste), yet the experience of this cozy location added that special ingredient to my day . It was such a one of a kind place, super cool to go with some friends , even year round. Although in October this fits the theme perfectly.! Parking is very easy to access and although the indoor capacity is limited they do offer outside benches and an open layout for anyone that wants to stick around . Don't forget to check out their cool murals by the parking area! Not the best option if you have to work or study . There's too many cool distractions! Their employees are very patient and open minded about sharing their recommendations. read more

Fun decorations and great for a theme cafe and great place to take friends if they're into horror stuff

This was such a fun place to visit! I got a Friday the 13th themed drink & it was really good. I love when the atmosphere & drink quality match each other, sometimes it can just be gimmicky but not this place. Sick life size Jason, Michael Myers, & Freddy animatronics & it felt like a mini Halloween maze or something in there. I'd love to go back sometime!! read more

The employees were friendly and was great at recommending drinks for a non coffee drinker. The inside of the shop was so cute, I especially loved the scream set up . I got the worms blended drink ( w/o the coffee) The drink looked cute but the flavor was just okay. Due to my customization I didnt completely write them off and I would try it again , maybe get one of the killer teas instead. If you like coffee you have a lot of drinks that sounds really yummy. read more

Roast The Dead Coffee - Drink - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Yucaipa, California

This is such a unique experience and coffee shop. Be warned it can get crowded on the weekends. I had to wait 45 minutes just to enter the building because they only allow a small amount of people at a time. It's not something I would frequent but if you're new to the area this is certainly worth checking out. You enter and see a bunch of horror themed props around. I got these two drinks. Freddy Nightmare Fog - If you like a classic cold brew this is delicious. The fog part was red velvet flavor and worked so well with the coffee. (5/5) Hellrazor - Be warned this drink is very spicy, it leaves a spicy aftertaste. Delicious non the less. You get a chocolate taste initially with a punch of spice after. (4.5/5) The theming is cool and the drinks are actually very good and unique. Worth coming at least once. Maybe come at a random time if you don't like to wait. read more

I stopped by Roast the Dead for a quick coffee pick-me-up before venturing out to pumpkin patch for an outing with friends. I sure am glad I found this spot and treated myself to some yummy and spooky sips! The interior was impeccably decorated with Halloween-esque decor - such fabulous spooky vibes! The staff were so incredibly kind and wonderful to talk to - which truly made for a 10/10 experience. I ordered the Hi Ya Georgie subbed with oat milk and it was such a beautifully crafted drink! You can tell the folks here love what they do and genuinely care about creating not only yummy, but eye-catching drinks too! 'Tis the season to indulge your taste buds in some coffee (or not-coffee) and Roast the Dead is the perfect place to do it! I highly recommend this spot to any and all folks visiting the area! read more

Always a great place!!! This time I got to bring my kids and they enjoyed it!!! Everything is always great to look at no matter how many times you come here. It was weird to go next door for the merchandise and baked good. The employees are always willing to assist with choices if you are confused on what to order. My kids loved looking around and couldn't stop looking at all the cool things everywhere! The ambiance is great. We also came on a busy day and waiting outside was kind of long but understandable. So if it's a weekend, don't expect to go in right away. There are also a couple of booths outside that are selling product. I don't know if they are there all the time. read more

Such a fun concept! Roast the Dead immediately transports you into a haunted house the moment you walk in. There's so much to check out with all the horror movie collection. The drinks are all themed and so much fun I had the Myers Fog (cold brew w/pumpkin foam) and it was AMAZING. I have coffee in my veins and this drink felt like it is strong enough to raise the dead! The hubs had a lemonade drink, and it was so good! It wasn't super sweet like the nasty lemonade that are pre-made. We live pretty far away, but anytime we are passing through we will definitely be stopping by. read more

Roast the Dead Coffee is the coolest. If you love Halloween, horror, or coffee (or a combination of all three) you're going to leave this place so happy! They have so many different fun flavors it was hard to pick one to try. I wanted the trick or treat (I'm a huge peanut butter lover) but they were unfortunately sold out of that so I opted for La Churrona- a horchata flavored drink. I opted to get it blended and it was delicious! I can't wait to come back for more flavors- especially as fall amps up! read more

Came in during the week. Ordered 4 drinks and as I'm half way through my drink I suck up something hard through the straw. So pull it out of my mouth. It looks like the tip of a nail. Like when you bite your nails. No chance right?!? RIGHT! Husband and children say it's a nail. It can't be! It has to be a piece of plastic! At least that's what I tell myself. So my teen bites her nail to show me it's for sure the tip of someone's nail. And it's identical!!!! Besides wanting to throw up and rush to get checked for any and all diseases it's safe to say I WILL NEVER BE BACK!! Someone working here is a nail biter. read more

Horror themed coffee shop in Yucaipa (1st location). The horrifically cool themed shop was dark and eeriely fantastic. Blood soaked walls in decor of everything horror movie related. The undead staff was friendly and service was stalkingly attentive. The Dead-ristas made me "Worms Michael" (Strawberry cream with cold brew). This terrifyingly delicious drink stabbed my taste buds with delight. The blood themed cup was an eye gouging pleasure for sure. If you are ever in the area or just want to drive out, drag your corpse over for a visit! 10/10 would return from the grave to visit here. read more

Looking for a good coffee spot on a recent visit to Yucaipa(apple picking), we landed on Roast the Dead. Located across from a church, we walked in and were hit by horror show memorabilia galore and a haunted house like feel. Many drink options to choose from, but we just chose a simple coffee. They were out of drip by the time we arrived just shy of noon, a bit of a surprise. They did give us an Americano which tasted pretty good, but nothing special. Might be a good option if you are interested into horror movies or very unique experiences, but not our ideal spot. read more

Fun and novelty. Drinks are more sugar than strong so definitely order that extra shot of espresso. It is very small and can be crowded when there's a lot of people trying to order and wait for their drinks. There's nowhere to sit. It's kind of a grab (your drinks/pics) & go type of place. It's hidden pretty deep in residential Yucaipa and it's kind of a hole in the wall off on the side of the road. Blink and you'll miss it! The side of the building has awesome horror themed murals but you wouldn't notice it coming from the opposite direction unless you actually turn into their small little parking lot. It's a fun, sugary spot. Love the concept but if you're looking for quality coffee this might not be the place. read more

I was bummed I missed this place while I was in Yucaipa last weekend, so decided to make another trip to check it out. I'm a fan of 80s horror movies, and love coffee, so this place sounded perfect for me. I have access to similar themed coffee places near where I live, but this place looked even more extreme. The drinks sound similar to Rad Coffee (Covina, Long Beach, Upland), and theme is almost identical to Coffinated Coffee (La Puente). It's near Uptown Yucaipa, but still somewhat isolated in an inconspicuous area. Parking lot is pretty small but there's plenty of street parking nearby. It's a tiny place, and I found it to be much smaller than how it appeared in photos. There aren't any tables, inside or outside. Just saw two benches inside, which were mainly for people just waiting for their drinks. It just seems more like a takeout coffee shop. It's quite dark inside, and might be too scary for little kids. It has regular coffee and espresso drinks, but this isn't the type of place you come for these. You come here for its specialty, themed drinks. Names are clever and drinks look fun (or scary). I got Hellrazor which is a spicy mocha with toffee nut. This drink tasted excellent, and looked bloody good. It had subtle spiciness at the end with a nice touch of toffee flavor. It came with red whip cream on top, which can be omitted if you don't want food coloring. I would probably skip in the future, but had to get it for my first visit for the visual. I got two different lemonade drinks for my kids. Creepsickle, which is a strawberry and cream lemonade, was good without being too sweet. I didn't care for Killer Clown Lemonade, which is a cotton candy flavored lemonade. It just tasted sweet and didn't really taste like anything. Even my five year old son thought it was too sweet and couldn't finish it. read more

6 feet under and the nun are my new favorite drinks from roasting dead will definitely be back.

This place is pretty nice, it's very small inside. I wish there was more seating. The drinks that I ordered were good and so was the cookies. I like the atmosphere. If it were bigger I'd stay longer I recently went to caffeinated coffee and I like it better. Of course different owners. But I feel it's more opens and has more on its menu read more

I love the theme! This place does open kind of late at 10am. For a coffee shop, I think the hours are a little inconvenient but they're good enough to drive out of the way for. I love that not only is it horror theme, the drinks also fit the vibe. I'd definitely come back read more
