Coffee & Tea - fuel for any good adventure
Coffee is the fuel I need both to work my best and function as a mom. These are the coffee shops I’m visiting when I need a quick pick me up or a change of scenery when out with the kids.
Retro space coffee shop that takes their theming to another level. Super creative names for their drinks, fun merch to purchase, and of course delicious drinks and pastries. Visiting is fun just for the atmosphere, my kids love seeing (and touching) ...
Fireproof Coffee
If you’ve heard of Augies, then you probably already know of Slow Bloom. If not, then buckle up and make your way over to this coffee co-op owned and run by the baristas. They definitely know their coffee and roast their own beans, but they still hav...
Slow Bloom Coffee
Super cute space with lots of seating and natural light. Their original location is actually in a retail store that’s also in Redlands and a great place to shop as well. Again, my kids love the pastry selection here and it’s honestly necessary so tha...
Hooray Coffee | Hooray Coffee
This space is newer to me and I’m shocked I haven’t visited more yet. The interior is sleek and cozy, they have a kids play area towards the back with a pretend coffee cart set up and some books. I need to visit more to get a better handle on their d...
RoadRunner Coffee
Sharing space with a bomb dot com bakery, the house made syrups they use are unreal and they roast their own beans too! Super creative flavors like burnt sugar grapefruit, black sesame caramel, and gochujang chile mocha 🤯, their flavors change month...
Lucid Coffee
A Redlands staple, their order ahead option is super convenient for grabbing coffee just before work. Their sandwiches and pastries might even be better than their drinks 🫣 but still a solid cup of coffee and probably the most affordable on this lis...
Stell Coffee & Tea Co | Redlands, CA
This shop might be one of the smallest in space on my list, but still worth the visit. This shop probably holds my kids’ attention the least and doesn’t have a great pastry selection, but they make a decent cup of coffee with seasonal syrups and that...
Landmark Coffee
Handmade boba?? Say less. This shop started focusing on hojicha only but have expanded to matcha and other tea types as well. The black sesame salted cream hojicha is a favorite.

Perfect for a date night or celebration. Their food is delicious and focuses on organic and local ingredients. The ambiance is *chef’s kiss* get the wagyu burger!
Caprice Cafe
You MUST try the coffee cake and then try it fried as well 🫣. An iconic Redlands diner that has provided the community with generous portions of feel good food for over a decade. If you go on a weekend, be prepared to wait.
Carolyn's Cafe
Honey walnut shrimp, beef noodle soup, and green onion pancakes are some of our favorite dishes! This eatery has plenty of space and is great for both casual dining and for celebrations.
Rui Shanghai Bistro
Surprisingly, Thai food is one of the best cuisines in the area. Aroi Mak Mak has perfect vibes for a night out or date night. Not too many options if you’re spice intolerant though, food is packed with flavor
