Very hip coffee shop . They have a few interesting pastries . We got the olive and tomatoes focaccia ( it seemed to be a popular pick ) but we did enjoy it very much . Very dense almost tasted undercooked.. big and fluffy . But then we ordered a latte and that made up for everything ! It was so good ! Perfect notes . Just wow plenty of seating outside and inside . Small parking lot though - fills up pretty quick !

Espresso w tonic The matcha latte was good, but the espresso is really unbeatable The pistachio rose croissant is ridiculously good - light on the rose flavor, pistachio crème pat filling, flakey buttery croissant. Out of control The vibe is very inviting and inclusive The staff are lovely Plus it’s a cooperative so the team are all part owners which is very cool

Traveling to visit family in Redlands and discovered Slow Bloom. What a delight. I enjoyed a flavorful, rich Latte and decided to try some of their beans to sip at home. All the staff were friendly and the setting is inviting. I can’t wait to return for another cup!

Honestly it was pretty busy when we got there. But the chai was worth the wait. It reminded me of Augie's. I don't even remember what actually happened with that coffee shop but I remember they used to sell that gallon of chai! It was so good. But they shut down sadly, and if you're looking for that chai feel then head on over to slow bloom. They have great service, it may be busy but it's definitely worth the wait. I'll update later on the food, once I get a chance to try some.

Had a vanilla spicy chai tea Latte amazing. Perfect amount of spice. Dog friendly, lots of fluffer butts. Well priced Place is cute lots of seating Even though the line was out the door I go in in less than 5 minutes. Don’t let the line fool you, once you going in the door you next in line.

The place didn’t leave much of an impression. It could have been slightly better, and the coffee definitely could have tasted better. It had a sour note and lacked that rich, inviting aroma you expect when walking into a coffee shop. The staff was polite, and the service was fast, but the quality of the coffee wasn’t really checked. I asked for an extra shot of espresso, but as you can see in the photo, the coffee came out with two very different color tones — not a great sign. On the bright side, the parking lot is large, which is a big plus. As for the pastries, nothing really stood out. I even hesitated to buy them.

This is a beautiful hidden gem with the best Banana Bread Latte. Tastes exactly as if you’re eating a Banana Bread loaf which sometimes is really hard to create an exact syrup it’s also a very nice coffee shop! So happy I found it but my only complaint was the staff. There’s one guy in particular that was not friendly at all and made our first time experience feel kind of rushed and annoying. I would still recommend trying it if you can get past a barista who simply is unhappy. I also ran into the grandson of the man who built that coffee shop and it was such a beautiful story.
