Pfft! Rad. K, now that thats out of my system, I have to say, while not the healthiest coffee shop youll see around, they certainly have some of the most interesting, (almost mad-scientist-like) concoctions youll find this side of LA. The espresso and cold brew are top-notch, but the real reason to bring your keister all this way for a drink is for one of their specialty blended drinks, which come with a serving of some of the more popular cereals out there. The top 2 are as follows: The COOKIES N SCREAM: Cookie Butter blended drink (with your choice of coffee), topped with blue whipped cream and Cookie Crisp cereal. Pretty good, though super sugary as you might imagine. PEANUT BUTTER CRUNCH: Mocha & Peanut Butter blended together and topped with black whipped cream & Reeses Cup cereal. They also offer seasonal beverages to add a little something special to whatever holiday its time to celebrate, and while not the most exciting thing on the menu, they also have Matcha drinks and vegan options. All of their drinks are fairly customizable, though, and the menu is bursting with unique drinks you wont find anywhere else. At just under $7 for either a 16oz. or a 24oz. for their blended drinks, its not a bad deal, at all. Unless youre counting calories, in which case... Stay away!

Horrible customer service & the two employees I came across are sarcastic & disrespectful. Their customer service skills dont even meet minimum standards. We as customers go to small mom and pops coffee shops to get quality coffee and most important superb service. My visit today was not RAD; more like BAD. I honestly see nothing rad about this coffee shop. I ordered an espresso and about 15 minutes later my drink was not done because they forgot. But, they did not forget about the people after me. When I went to ask about my espresso they had already completed several drinks and their response was "oh I forgot". No apology w/ a solution. I asked for the Manager and sarcastically one of them replies he was the Manager. As I am walking out one of them says "Thank you". I called 10 minutes later to asked for contact information of ownership and one of the guys responds "We cannot give out that kind of information." I shared my experience on FB & they still have not responded. I dont recommend this place..........those two clowns say and do whatever they want....shame on the owner or Manager who hired these two clowns.

My girlfriend came across this spot from a Facebook video, was hiking in the area so figured wed drop by and check it out. Got a "Cold brew Dracula" which was pretty cool looking as well as tasty. The shop is located in a historic downtown area which is nostalgic and cool, though the actual shop itselfs decor was a little underwhelming yeah sure it has old punk rock posters taped to the wall and a few skateboards but it definitely needs a professional to really fine tune.Perhaps Im biased due to me working near 4th Street in Long Beach which is notoriously punk rock trendy and has a lot of cool shops that execute this look a lot better. Besides that the drinks we got were good and the employees were funny and seemed cool.

My new favorite place. Punk music blasting while you wait for the smoothest, best coffee ever The walls are covered with punk rock concert fliers. Atmosphere is chill. Baristas and everyone that works there is super cool. Coffee drinks are Awesome. Smoothies/shakes are unusual combinations of yumminess - and theyre named after horror movie monsters !! Lots of their items are vegan The ultimate drink is the Great White. I wont spoil it but it is a large cold brew coffee with 4 (yes 4) shots of espresso plus vanilla and caramel and other stuff. You have to try it to believe it. Cool, punk vibe and great coffee. Cant wait to go back and try the bride.

Awesome, local coffee shop that is full of energy. The shop has a very basic layout but they have great tasting Ethiopian coffee roasted in California. This is not a cozy coffee shop with 70s lounge chairs if thats what you prefer. This place has stainless steel furniture with the wait line running right through the middle of the shop, and there is always punk music playing in the background. Its more of a high-energy vibe place to be. I have seen most of the bands on the wall so this is very inviting for me.

I really wanted to like this place. But ultimately, it was loud, cold, and bland inside. The punk flyers all over the wall are cool. But theyre all LA shows. Nothing really about this area. And the coffee was pretty expensive. My wife didnt like it. She said she wished she wouldve just gone to Starbucks. Or that coffee klatch place. This coffee shop looked like it would be a perfect fit for my wife, but it just feel way short.

Perfect punk-rock coffee shop. I love this place. Interesting blended drinks, and vegan baked goods are always available. The regular coffee is great too. Not really suited for setting up your laptop and doing work, but leave that sort of pretentious Starbucks ambiance to the corporate chains! I drive all the way from San Dimas to come here. They also have awesome merchandise for sale.

Pretty sweet overall. Although they could definitely use some more improvements and rearranging. The menu could be larger, more organized and more apparent. A proper condiments area should be in place, the current location is right where you pick up your coffee, and it gets very congested there with pick ups and people fighting for sugar. Ill be coming back. :)

Hip lil joint. Also though there was a line, service was incredibly fast. They have quite a few drink options that range from classics to fun stuff like their fraps with different types of cereal etc. Not to mention they had a hemp milk option for those into that sort of thing. Either way, Rad Coffee is a great lil place. I would recommend.

Whether youre a tea, frap, or plain cup of joe kind of person, this shop is the place to be. From create your flavor teas to cereal topped fraps there is something for someone. I absolutely enjoy the Cookies N Scream, blue whipped cream and all!! Staff is welcoming and over all theme of Rads, is unique in the area. This is a must visit!

This place was fantastic, I was greeted when I walked in and was explained the menu and the environment of the establishment. The young lady that I interacted with was very kind she got to know me so she could suggest a drink for me accordingly and further customized the drink. Also she asked if the drink was to my liking

I came in today with my sister after I saw a video off of Facebook, best decision ever. It has such a chill vibe, and the service there is great! My sister ordered the bride and the cashier recommended the Dracula for myself. Both drinks were extremely enjoyable, we will definitely be coming back soon.

Decided I had to come here after various post on my instagram timeline, went in and to be very honest with you, my girlfriend, brother and myself only took a few sips of each of our drinks before throwing them away and going to starbucks... this place is the definition of overhyped...

Absolutely amazing! I adore the vegan options! no processed sugar syrup so its totally vegan safe! It has seriously been year since Ive been able to drink a vegan pumpkin spice latte :,) thank you Rad Coffee! PS - the coffee tastes of high quality, you will not be disappointed.
