Slow Bloom Coffee Cooperative

SlowBloom has some of the highest quality and well thought out coffee drinks and roasted coffee beans I have ever had! Not to mention the lovely staff all comparatively own the business meaning the care and effort they put in comes back to them and not to some money hungry ceo.

Cute coffee shop! Friendly staff and delicious lattes! I ordered the gingerbread latte and caffe de olla, it was delightful! The seating outside is nice on a warm sunny day!

Best speciality coffee in the area hands down. Love getting beans from them too 🩷

I ordered a Gingerbread Latte and a vegan pumpkin loaf. The latte was perfectly smooth and cozy. And the loaf was rich and fluffy. One of the best lattes I’ve had in a while.

No joke, their vanilla latte with oat milk may have been the best coffee drink I have ever had, ever. Been to 14 countries and it was the best ever.

Sooo good, the coffee beans are super high quality. The line moves quickly, cool space to work out of.

BEST coffee & coffee shop in Redlands. I have visited many times, and my favorite items so far are the iced lavender vanilla latte (just the right amount of lavender), vanilla latte (a delicious classic), and cold brew (perfectly smooth & delicious). The lavender vanilla syrup has been replaced with rose cardamom for the holiday season (very yummy and I posted the latest menu - last photo). I have been searching for a stellar 3rd wave coffee roaster since moving from the Bay area, and Slow Bloom has all the right ingredients - delicious coffee, friendly staff, cool coffee shop atmosphere, and it's a worker-owned collective, so you are supporting a locally owned small business. If you love good coffee and are a local or just driving through Redlands, treat yourself and visit Slow Bloom.

This place is my favorite coffee joint outside of Oregon. Wonderful roast, well crafted espresso, and delicious treats. If you’re in Redlands for the day or just haven’t come across them yet, go and go quickly for the best coffee in the area.

Cold brew slush was perfect for a warm morning. The cold brew coffee is smooth yet shines through the added flavors and oatmilk. I had the black sesame. Though I've had black sesame with tea, matcha, mochi, and pastries, this is the first time I had it with coffee, and it was delightful. Next time I'm in Redlands, I'll check in and try something new.

Coffee is my love besides my wife. Finding coffee spots is where it’s at, Slow Bloom is one of those spots you need to add to your list. The employees are extremely friendly and courteous as well as knowledgeable on what their selling.
I love the atmosphere of this coffee spot, you have the option of sitting inside and outside. Plenty of space to hangout with family and friends while enjoying an excellent cup of coffee. While we were there, it’s was consistently busy which is what you want to see in a small business coffee shop. Make this your new spot, drop the coffee giants and find you a spot like Slow Bloom.
The coffee itself was something else. I got a black cold brew and a shot of expresso. How they make their expresso let’s me know how they make and treat their coffee. The roast, blend, and notes were amazing. I often get looks from my wife for ordering a shot but talking with the employees about their shots lets me know their knowledge and excitement in making coffee. Slow Bloom Coffee is where it’s at and a small business you want to support, head there now and make it your daily coffee spot!

Run, don't walk, to this amazing little coffee shop. Great vibes. Great coffee. Do yourself a favor and grab a chocolate croissant (warmed obvi). Great little spot to have an intimate meeting, or get some work done remotely, or even acute coffee date. There's some merch and some other food items and they keep the menu simple. I highly recommend this place. Very trendy and fun and young. I also got a cold brew with oat milk. Pretty tasty! I'll definitely be back!

Dear Slow Bloom Coffee,

Thank you for existing! I am so glad my favorite baristas from Augie’s came together to make SBC!

I have missed my favorite Honey Cinnamon Latte with Oat Milk since before the pandemic. And no one has ever done it as good as my favorite baristas.

When I finally made it to your stand-alone coffee shop, I thought how cute it looked inside. It was so welcoming. And the best part was that I got to savor my first sip of HCLwOA! It was just what I was looking for!

I can’t wait to be back and tell my friends all about the best coffee in the IE!

I’ll see you again soon, SBC!

Thank you,
Wendy

Notes: Located in Redlands. Please make a stop into this shop if you’re passing through the 10 freeway! (You’re welcome)

Best Coffee Place in the IE!! Their Lattes are perfectly done. I love the vegan pastries. You gotta try the tahini cookies and chocolate hava donuts. It is really busy most of the time because it is so good, but you can usually find seating if youre patient or sit outside.

Absolutely amazing coffee. The espresso is very tasty, lots of fruity notes. The beans they have for sale were all roasted in the last few days, which is really fantastic. They also have a great selection of beans. Service is fast and friendly and the atmosphere is quite casual. Support unions, drink here.

Ohh man I love this spot. My drip coffee was delicious 😋. Staff was super friendly and service was quick. Plenty of seating, inside and out. Large clean bathroom and plenty of parking. My favorite coffee spot in Redlands for sure.

Recently getting into speciality coffee and looking for a place in the IE? This is the spot for you! Knowledgeable, well trained, passionate staff that you can tell likes coffee just as much as you do. Pour over is on point and some insanely unique light roasts to try. Espresso based drinks have satisfying foam, shots are pulled with more attention than I've ever had anywhere else. Atmosphere is great! Seating is plentiful if not a little unfriendly to bigger peeps. Get yourself a punch card and make this your coffee spot! The more we support places like this, the more places like this start to pop up. If you like coffee beyond a desert-like caffeine source, or you just hate the way Starbucks/Coffee bean handles your drinks and their own staff, show this place and it's staff your love!!

This place knows the secret to running a smooth coffeeshop. I was pleasantly surprised with the experience I had today visiting SlowBloom. It was my first time here, and the coffee was amazing, the employees were very friendly, and the atmosphere was super welcoming and relaxing. 😌 5/5, great job Slow Bloom. Next time I’m passing through Redlands, I’m definitely going to come back again.

Seriously incredible cup of coffee! I always come here when I’m in town and I’ve never been disappointed in taste. Consistent and delicious - their plain honey latte is wonderful on a cool morning and is my go to every time. The shop itself is very chic and fun but it’s growing popularity does make for tight spaces and few tables to go around, I rarely find a spot to sit and relax, so I typically take my cup to go. The staff are kind and attentive, willing to help you pick the right roast to take home for the mornings you don’t come into town. While waiting in line today I took the time to read the articles they have on the wall and if I can encourage the staff - I love what you’re doing and working towards but the articles highlighted actually come across a bit bitter and resentful. I understand the history but I’d love to see a positive light on all the good you’re pursuing for yourselves and the community vs the bashing of another company that no longer exists. Maybe it’s time to move on and focus on what you’ve built, which I personally think is great! Thanks for another good cup to start my morning!

Espresso didn't have much crema, but to my surprise the flavor was OUTSTANDING!

This place looks like it runs a good business and it should. A very good independent shop.

Best coffee in Redlands! The service is also great; however, it is often crowded and it is either too cold or too warm inside. I usually grab my coffee and go, or just sit outside.

Slow Bloom is located in Redlands- small coffee shop- GREAT VIBES

Their donuts are definitely a must try- I have had the mango+sumac and it was the best thing ever.

Coffee wise- they are up there in the coffee game - not only do they have unique flavors they also carry good coffee that is strong and flavorful

Their daydream matcha is also a MUST try

Service: baristas are fast and attentive - wait time is never longer than a few minutes even on their busiest days

It is a trendy coffee shop which means the price will be from $6-$8 depending on the drink

I still think it’s worth to try

Working space is great too
