It is really busy with a line out the door but worth the wait. Rad Coffee has amazing decor, very grungy and pop culture. It is laid back with a lot of cool references to movies, music and culture. The drinks my friends and I got were: Electric Mango, Horchata Iced Coffee, and Cookie & Scream. All the drinks were really sweet but delicious. I enjoyed the lemonade, Electric Mango and the extra sweetness on the Cookies & Scream.

We love the old school punk vibe of the place and their drinks are all top notch here. On top of all that, the service is always super fast and friendly. Check them out and you can feel good that you are supporting a great local business and get your caffeinated sugar fix at the same time!

Weve been here twice and both times our drinks did not disappoint in quality and taste! The employees are nice and attentive too. Even when it was busy this last time qe went, the wait was not long at all.

Unique flavors and styles. You have varieties to choose from. You can have cold brew, tea and cereal topped drinks. Each having different colored whipped cream. Rockabilly theme is noticed all over the walls and logos. The establishment is a whole in the wall, although the drinks make up for it. I would definitely recommend this place.

Very cool coffee place that has (get this) CEREAL COFFEE!!We had Peanut Butter Captain Crunch coffee, a Captain Crunch coffee and a cookies and creme coffee (for the little, but without the coffee). With the reusable tumbler we also got, the total came out to about $31 ($12 for the tumbler and about $6.50ish for each of our coffees).The big coffee is great to share, I would recommend that if you share, agree on a flavor you both want to drink... but its fun to try out the flavors just to see what suits your style.13/10 would come again!

Review №19

I always come here with friends and TRY to get some coffee but with no luck of anything ever tasting good. I havent had a good experience with their coffee but thats just me. 😕 They have cereal drinks that do taste really good but not always trying to down a ton of sugar.

Better than starbucks by a mile! I absolutely love this place! I love their coffee because of the sweet and creative flavors and drinks. Also another thing you wanna look out for is their pins! They sell limited addition pins that are the quality of disney pins but with the kooky, punk rock, spooky, goth stlye. I love em. They aim to please. Support your local small business. Also Delilah (on insta @kittyandLoo ) can be seen enjoying the pink or blue puppachino. They will make a pretty and colorful cup of whipped cream for your fur baby! Thanks for being Rad, Rad coffee.

First time here and it was great!! Coffee was delicious! I had The Wolf. 4 shots espresso with mocha and cinnamon! It was perfect! Strongly caffeinated with a hint of sweet. They also have really fun drinks for those with a really sweet tooth. I just wish they had some type of pastry. That would be awesome!!!Staff was really nice. Place was clean and I just love their logo! They also have some of their merchandise displayed to purchase. I bought some really cool stickers!Definitely recommend!

Such an awesome spot! The employees are super nice and helpful. You can tell they love their job. Even the customers were friendly and helped me indecisive self pick from the numerous vegan options! I decided on their seasonal Cookies and Scream with oat milk and vegan whipped cream and I was not disappointed! It was delicious! I cant wait to come back again next time Im in town. Definitely worth the drive from LA!

First time here with my kids . We ordered the blue lemonade which was pretty good . I order the cookies and scream . The display of it was pretty cool, it tasted really good ! Considering I always order cookies and cream anywhere I go. The environment was unique and pretty dark which was cool. The drinks seemed interesting . Service was pretty good. Will come back and try more things for sure.

The server was quite rude! I let her know it was my first time. No suggestions just bolted out to others if they were ready to order to come forward. I ended up ordering a frappe type drink that was good. Teach customer service skills to your workers!

Rad coffee is amazing local coffee store that gives off punk vibes. There drinks are tasty and some can be made vegan with your choices between soy or hemp milk and oat milk. My favorite drink is the Frankenstein it is amazing. I suggest you go to this local coffee store instead of starbucks. Support your local stores

A coffee shop with plenty of attitude and super friendly staff. The music and decor set this place apart from plenty of other local coffee shops. And the coffee comes with great flavors and toppings that no bounds, all with unique and delicious tastes. While still offering great, freshly brewed coffee. Definitely makes for a fun road trip or a stop until your next destination.

Customer service was highly lacking today. The girl did not seem happy to be there. Tea lemonade was good, not too sweet. There was a long line for social distancing but it went fast about 5-10 minutes. drinks came out quickly as well. Only issue was the cashier. She needs some coaching on greeting, taking orders, and providing better customer service

Very cool place, coffee is great. There are a lot of choices, some are really interesting. I tried the bones brew, if you like coffee, its an excellent choice. My friend got the cinnamon toast which came with actual cereal and purple whipped cream, also a great choice. Check out their vibe, great atmosphere and really cool pictures on the walls

Only downer is they will not allow you to use the restroom. Which would be awesome for us Pac Electric Trail riders. But aside from that, the coffee is damn good. Nothing tops Peanut Butter Crunch.

Cool little coffee shop. The drinks are ok—I think there’s something missing when it comes to flavor because I’m never really wowed, but the drinks are aesthetically pleasing. I love looking at the show flyers and art work. I mostly come here for the vibe and for a quiet place to work (free WiFi).

Review №62

I love Rad! They have the nicest staff and its the cutest little punk rock establishment. They have awesome monster themed blended coffee dessert drinks, with vegan options. Their seasonal menus are always phenomenal, however my favorite regular drink is The Bride which tastes like a coffee thin mint. There regular drip coffee is also phenomenal, and they are even selling their beans now. They also have super cute merch, including a reusable straw that is a must have!

Went there for the first time and really enjoyed my experience! First of all it’s in a very vintage and beautiful spot of Upland. You walk in the and the vibe is amazing with friendly people and cool wall art. Me and my sister were so excited to order our drinks and as expected they were delicious. This place doesn’t sell coffee that typically tasted in other cafes and places. I love the combinations their drinks have and they sincerely care about vegan options and what the customer wants. I highly recommend this place and the cool stores around!

Review №77

I’d rate 0 if I could. They have a cute sign out front claiming they’re taking measure due to CoVid, but that is not the case at all. I was trying to respect their rules by waiting outside (masked) while the line inside died down and a (maskless)girl walked in front of me, I kindly explained “it’s only supposed to be four people at a time, I’m in line waiting” and she said “oh I work here” and went inside. Um, perhaps she does work there but that doesn’t mean you can just cut a customer standing in line (she did not go to work, watched her stand in line and order, maskless the entire time). If you give a f#ck about public health- avoid this place, cause they don’t.This store had at least 6 customers in it the entire time I patiently waited outside. I ultimately choose to leave. Doesn’t matter if the coffee is good. It felt unethical to support them.

Review №78

This place is RAD!! The drinks are highly addictive. One of my fiends brought me here to try it out. I had the Frankenstein and their Hurricane. Really good. That morning was really hot out and these drinks cooled us down. I should have ordered and extra drink for later. By the time I got to work. I had finished them lol. You should try it. I will be coming here more often. And maybe pick up a pin on my next visit.

We are grown adults, if we are standing too close to each other, relax, that’s our choice as adults, don’t force people to pretend to be as scared as you. And in the condescending manner that we were told “look at the ground, see the green dots”. Great way to chase people out of your business...

This place has a pretty cool vibe. Drinks are great. And they have a pretty wide range. Decaf to super caffeinated. Where else can you get a 32 oz coffee with four shots of espresso, cold brew concentrate and cold brew blended in place of milk. Ironically enough, they have vegan marshmallows on a normally milk blended drink.

Review №83

One of the best iced Americanos I have had. Ive followed Rad Coffee on Instagram for a long time and have always wanted to try them out but have not been able to make it to their storefront. Was so excited to see the truck at the Spooksieboo event. The zombie lemonade is amazing and they have homemade pop tarts that are Soooo good (we got lemon and peach). The employees were super friendly and even though the line was long we got our order very quick. Cant wait to make it to one of their storefronts! I have been following Rad Coffee on social media for a while now and have it been lucky enough to check out their coffee truck. We had some of the best coffee and drinks though and I was determined to make it to their storefront one day and yesterday we finally made it! Store is small but really cool. I didnt get any of the fun drinks (but trust me they have alot of amazing unusual drinks) I got a berry iced tea and an iced Americano. The tea was very refreshing (especially in the 100°+ weather) and their iced Americano is one of the best I have ever had. Joel got an iced vanilla latte and said it was pretty tasty as well. The drive was about an hour and 20 minutes from the house but so worth it! Great area and a cool place to grab your coffee/drink and walk around. The staff is amazing, very nice and helpful and even though it was busy drinks were ready quickly. Very reasonably priced too. They also have a great variety of merch too. There are two store fronts, we swung by the Upland location. Definitely worth the trip and looking forward to our next time out!

My daughter & I, love Rad Coffee. We normally go to Covina, location which is bigger. While the Upland location is smaller, it has a better merchandise selection. Either way you cant go wrong with Rad Coffee, I wish they would open up more locations and put one near my home in Diamond Bar.

So gooood. They put a super fresh spin on coffee and teas. I love the Cold Brew Chocolate Milk. Staff is always helpful if your unsure what to get and the place is super clean. Drinks come out fast despite the line that might pile up the drinks get out quick and I have never had an issue with my drink. Reminds me of Boomers Cafe back when I was a kid in the 2nd Ave Mall.
