If you follow me on Yelp, my check ins definitely give it away that this is my go to spot for coffee. Whenever I'm out and about on one of my many day trips, RAD coffee is a must to fuel up. Why? Because life is RAD. The coffee is roasted and blended perfectly by the hands of Satans little demons. They always have the best punk music blasting, and the staff are always so sweet. If you're not sure what to order, try something off their seasonal menu or just ask for a recommendation. If you're not a coffee drinker, don't worry. Plenty of tea and lemonade options available. Card and cash payments accepted. Plenty of parking out front and behind the shop. Clean and well stocked bathrooms. Plenty of patio seating. Pick up some merch and bring your quarters to play pinball. Life is RAD.

Came to this location a while back. I was fascinated by the punk memorabilia - flyers!I was wearing a Nausea shirt and one of their songs "coincidently" started to play :)) Drinks were definitely worth coming back!

I've been seeing this all over my Instagram so I had to go try it! The parking is a bit tight but it's okay! When you walk in, the first thing you see is Stickers and old school arcade games! I have never seen so much stickers ! I was a little overwhelmed with the menu but the barista was so nice giving me time to think about what I wanted. I got the iced gingerbread latte. It was sooo good. I'm such a sucker for gingerbread so I had to get it. It hit the spot.

This was a fun punky alt find on my drive up to LA. I was looking for something different but still solid on flavors, and Rad fit the bill. I ordered some fun coffee drink but then stripped it of most of the sugary add ons, but couldn't resist the b/w halloweeny whipped topping. Maybe black whipped cream wasn't the ideal choice before some big meetings, but I have no regrets. I think this place is big with the youngin's on insta, because two separate stylish teens in LA stopped and asked if my coffee was from Rad in LBC. So get your coffee here if you're trying to up your cool game.

I had a good experience here so I came back with my boyfriend!!We got the Horror-Chata and the Frankenstein. The Horror-Chata was iced blended, but it was really good! I saw it on the Halloween / Fall themed menu flyer, and I thought it sounded interesting. I think the difference between this and a regular horchata was that it was iced blended and had caramel and pumpkin flavoring in it. The Frankenstein surprised me, and it was good as well. I thought matcha and mint wouldn't be a good combination, but it was really good! You can taste more of the mint than matcha, but they combine well. The employees are always friendly and kind. They told us to ask them any question we may have. The cafe is always clean, and my boyfriend told me the bathroom is decorated pretty cool. One of the pinball machines weren't working which sucked, but I'm sure they'll get it fixed. I would come back here, and I'll definitely recommend it to others. They have tons of fun drinks I want to try, and it's a fun cafe to view.

I love this place so so much. I feel like this is going to become my go-to coffee shop. It has such a fun theme that makes me excited to visit and try a new drink. I think the staff is so friendly and kind that it makes me feel totally comfortable to ask for their recommendations.Every drink I've had as been so delicious and fun! I came here as part of my "30 before 30" challenge to go to 30 .. animal... theme tea shops before u turn 30. Now - I totally took my own liberties in deciding zombies counted as animals but hey its my fun challenge to do as i please with!!! Thank you Rad coffee!

Rad Coffee started in Downtown Upland, which is surprising since the aesthetic is more Long Beach. They also have locations in Riverside and Covina. I ordered a 24oz Cold Brew and 32oz Rad Berry (Blackberry, Black Tea, Ice, Mint Infused Organic Lemonade). Both were very flavorful. The service was pleasant and only took about 10 minutes to order and receive my drinks.

This coffee shop opened by my office a while ago and I wanted to give it a shot. Let's start with the vibe. It was an interesting 90s vibe with some punk rock music playing in the background. Surely not a place I would work from or take business meetings, but seems like an interesting place for a coffee date if you're into that type of vibe. See attached photos of the interior. Lots of interesting Knick knacks for sale as well as a pinball arcade. Would've loved to tried it out if I wasn't already late for work. Next, the coffee. They have a pretty extensive menu (which is also photographed) however, I am truly black coffee kind of guy. 16oz drip coffee is reasonably priced at $2.50. It wasn't my favorite cup of Joe but not the worst either. Seemed a little "watery" to me although that could've just been the batch. Drip coffee 3.5/5And finally the service. Seems to be run by a family or at least a small business. Greeted with a smile and they move pretty quickly in there. I was probably the 7th or 8th person in and I was out in about 3 minutes. Overall, will probably go back and try the cold brew. Maybe give the drip another shot. I am intrigued as to how their pour over is too. Border line 3.5 but willing to round up simply because of the service.

It took a while to digest everything going on inside the coffee shop but the girl taking our order was really patient while we overlooked the menu. We ended up trying 2 blended drinks:* The Frankenstein- matcha green tea blended with chocolate chips and mint, and topped with crushed Oreos. The matcha flavor was very underwhelming. Just tasted like blended milk. The Oreo flavor was not very pronounced either. If you're into a very light matcha taste, this might be for you* The Peanut Butter Crunch- mocha blended with peanut butter syrup, topped with black whipped cream and Reese's cereal. I am definitely a peanut butter girlie but this one reminded me too much of a protein shakeThis coffee shop is totally unique! From the outside decor, to the pinball machines inside, to the awesome merch, and the fun stickers and pins sold at checkout... it's a feast for the eyes. They offer an extensive coffee menu-- from regular coffee and espresso, to premium cold brews, to blended coffee (my favorite when I want a sweet treat), to lemonade and tea-- there is bound to be something for everyone!

Totally rad little coffee shop located just a bit off the beaten path in Long Beach. They have a ton of sugary drinks and a pretty chill vibe if you ask me. But if you're looking for a regular cup of Joe, they also fit the bill. Overall a nice spot, chill vibes and amazing packaging!
