We stopped by around 11:00-11:30 a.m., thinking the morning rush would be over, but the place was still packed. After trying it, I can definitely see why. They had already sold out of all their pastries, which says a lot about how busy they are, but the coffee was amazing. I ordered the iced maple salt latte with oat milk, and it was so good. My son got the bourbon caramel latte, and he loved his too. The shop itself is small, but there is plenty of seating both inside and outside. What impressed me most was that there were only two employees working, and they handled the crowd incredibly well. They kept things moving, acknowledged customers as they came in and when it was their turn to order, and were still kind and friendly. The café was also very clean and well kept. For there to be only two people working and the crowd they had at 11 o'clock, I'm sure it had probably been busy all morning. Even so, everything was clean and organized. Great coffee, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. We will definitely be back.

I like this place! I've tried a variety of drinks, and I have to say I do prefer the hot drinks. I…read morewould recommend the cappuccino and the London fog. Also, I would say this place probably has the best cafe matcha in the High Desert. Compared to everywhere else, the matcha flavor is strong and smooth, but it does taste homemade. The taro latte could use a lot of work. It tastes like melted vanilla ice cream. It can take a minute to get your drinks and order, but I think it's totally worth it to support the local businesses.

I've always had great experiences with Bad Ass Coffee... especially at the Rancho Cucamonga location, where the staff consistently goes above and beyond. Because of that, I had high expectations for this Hesperia location. Unfortunately, this visit was farrrrr short. I ordered two drinks; one with whipped cream and one specifically without. When the drinks were prepared, the one that was supposed to include whipped cream didn't have it. At no point did any staff member mention they were out of whipped cream. When I asked about it at the counter, I was met with a dismissive response: "Oh, we're out of whipped cream for the day." There was no apology or effort to make it right. What made the situation more frustrating was overhearing staff offer alternative options (like cold foam alternative) to customers right after us due to the same issue. That option was never extended to us, which felt inconsistent and unfair. Additionally, the overall atmosphere was uncomfortable. The staff's behavior came across as oddly secretive and unwelcoming, especially when my sister and niece arrived. It felt like there were unnecessary comments and attitudes directed toward us, which made the experience even more unpleasant. I believe this location would benefit from additional training in customer services. Particularly around communication, consistency, and treating all customers with equal respect. At a minimum, situations like running out of an ingredient should be clearly communicated, along with an apology and an alternative option offered to every customer. It's extremely disappointing to see this level of service associated with a brand that I've otherwise held in high regard.

Disappointing experience!! Bad customer service!…read more The young man at the cashier had a hard time taking my order as he kept repeating that some toppings are not free though I was willing to pay extra and I did...then when I wanted to pick out my 4 free toppings I don't know what his problem was but he just didn't want to do it and so he let me only pick out 2.... Additionally, the table I picked out to eat at was dirty and when I went to go ask him to clean my table he kept me and my family standing as he went to clean every other table except ours...mind you there's no one else in the store.... As well he did not bring the food to our table...I had to get up and get it...and still there was no one in the store...I don't see why he couldn't bring us our dessert...

Thank you for going above and beyond to make this a good experience. The plantains were perfect. Just the right amount of ripeness. My son loved the fried oreos. My partner and nephew enjoyed the churros this time. And I took home a salvadorean quesadilla for my friend. She said it had good flavor. Overall I recommend you try it for yourself. They have champurrado and atole de nuez too. I tasted it and great flavor. Not thick enough for my liking but the flavor is very good. You can definitely come and enjoy your dessert in a happy, calm environment.

It felt thoughtfully made with the right amount of everything! The service was consistently good throughout our visit. The staff was young, but they were friendly, patient, and attentive with my group. Even during busier moments, they took their time and were happy to answer questions, which really added to the overall experience. The ambiance stood out as well. It's a quaint café located in a small town, and the large windows provide a clear view of the surrounding area. The space felt cozy, calm, and inviting, which is perfect for sitting and enjoying a drink or taking a short break while exploring the area. Overall, this was a great stop and an easy place to recommend. I genuinely enjoyed my time here and would have loved to come back again before leaving, but unfortunately my friends and I didn't have the time. But if I'm ever back in town, I'd definitely make a point to return!
