High quality that you can taste on the first sip š Will be returning.!
I was in downtown Redlands looking for a perfect little coffee shop to try other then the monotonous Starbucks and related variety shops. 30 minutes spent on Google maps reading through reviews, I settled on apostle brew. And let me start by saying..... WTH.... Am I at the same place all these positive reviews or tied to or is there a disconnect between them and me. The barista if you can call him that was not very friendly at all, not attentive, or carrying what so ever, very dull no energy.... Example, I came in looking around without my glasses and asked for a menu and he just pointed to the obvious trifold incased menu in front of me at my waist level as if I didn't see it already and in need of something/anything else. So I spent 10 minutes struggling to read this little menu with very few options to begin with and no assistance from this man. The shop looks like a front for something else, it does not have a codfee, cafƩ vibe at all.... There were more deliveries than customers coming in. And the coffee was average at best, as I sit here typing this the only aroma I smell here is of burnt coffee beans. Over all extremely disappointed, your online presence sets new customers up for to high of expectations all the way around, even if the coffee were improved, the atmosphere is an easy fix but yet still needs fixing(inside and out), the service needs more service (a smile, some energy and some dialogue would go a long way) and the food... I don't know you guys definitely need a whole new make over, from display, to options and promotions. Unless it's a front.... As I said earlier, then your on point( believable, minimal investment and overhead, perfect cash business model great accounting flexibility) and in that case don't change a thing except shoot me a DM.

Chill spot, great coffee.
My husband and I have been coming here a little over 2 years. We were trying out local coffee shops and who wouldāve known this would be our final stop lol we fell completely in love with everything about this coffee shop. The drinks, the treats, the customer service. I introduce this coffee shop to anyone I humanly possibly can, any chance I can. My sister and I are always here. My husband and I. Just me, I mean Iām always here one way or another. Iāve been getting to know the owner the more I visit and he really is awesome! Iām so glad this business gets the recognition it deserves because it truly, TRULY deserves it. Iām so grateful to have this gem and I will forever be an apostle girly!!
The La La Land syrup latte (jasmine, lavender, and vanilla flavor) was the best flavored latte Iāve had in my life
This local coffee place has become my
go-to-coffee run. The way the coffee is prepared and even their teas, canāt compare to other coffee shops anymore, theyāre the best! Check it out for yourself
Redlands has lost of great options , however, When someone asks about my absolute favorite coffee shop, Apostle Brew is my spot. I love the sugar free churro. Coffee is so smooth. All Syrups is made in house. They are conveniently open really early! Best customer service. The owners Ray and Selina are so amazing! Making this coffee spot so friendly and inviting.
Let's support local!! Been getting my coffee at Apostle Brew and really a game changer! It tastes like real coffee (honestly huge coffee shops taste like meh), place is really clean and cozy, customer service is amazing. My husband who is a big Dutch coffee fan has also switched to Apostle!
Small coffee shop located in a plaza. The smell of freshly roasted coffee beans hits you upon walking in, it was awesome! Small quiet place to sit down and enjoy coffee or to go. I got the churro latte and it was amazing, the roasted flavor of the beans is soo good & perfectly sweetened! I should of ordered a bigger one. They had a few pastries I'll be trying on my next visit. Service was good, friendly, quick and overall is a cool place to check out, would highly suggest!

Visited here on my roadtrip through California and was impressed. The shop in itself is extremely clean and the decorations were tasteful. The barista was kind and the vanilla latte was smooth and delicious. This is a must try if youāre in the area!

it's a bit of a smaller coffee shop, and it's super tucked back, buuuut the coffee flavors they have definitely don't disappoint. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a deliciously made latte and has time to sip it. i mean....coffee shops are coffee shops but these guys have truly unique style. check it out

No coincidences. As an āout-of-towerā Iām grateful I found this place. Thankful I met the owners. Lemon Cloud was ?
Highly Recommend ??
We ordered two drinks - Cortado and a lavender jasmine iced tea. The Cortado was among the best Iāve had in the IE and would easily rival places like Common Room Roaster in Long Beach or Stereoscope Coffee in the greater LA area. The texture and sweetness of the steamed milk and the flavor of the espresso stopped me in my place and I actually had to sit down so I could enjoy my drink. We were just planning on grabbing some caffeine on the road, but we found a diamond in the rough. There was not much to brag about in reference to the iced tea aside that it was well-made and precise, but that does say a lot and distinguishes it from like 83% of places that serve tea, so kudos!!!
The shop is hidden in a sea of complexes, and itās pretty small, so very easy to miss if youāre just driving by without intentions to find coffee. Thereās a video of the place posted that shows three 2-tops, a small shelf/ bar (accommodates 2 people realistically), and a couch area - the video is current and accurate. The overall size of the seating area is probably about 14āx9ā to give an idea of the size of this place⦠so when 7 people sudden walk in at once, it can feel a little tight.
Food was not available on the day we were there, but it appears it wasnāt a usual day as there was 1 or 2 vendors selling clothes, bread, pastry items immediately outside the entrance of the shop. Not sure what they normally serve. There appears to be a single ābaristoā on the day that we were there, and I would not be surprised if that was also the owner/roaster, be kind and patient as it will be worth the wait.
Parking was free and ample on the weekend. I can imagine it being much more limited during the weekday when the rest of the occupants of the surrounding businesses are in.
There appears to be a designated tasting room in the back where all the magic happens. It shows in the coffee!
In summary, if youāre a coffee enthusiast looking for a great cup of Joe/espresso I would highly recommend swinging by and getting your caffeine fix. My recommendation is solely based off of the two drinks we had as coffee enthusiasts, and I would love to come back to this place again next time weāre in town.
So many different flavors both seasonal and in house, you'll have a hard time finding a favorite cause there's so many great choices.
