A Guide to Rancho Cucamonga Coffee Shops

Located around the corner from the DMV, Klatch is a hallmark among Rancho Cucamonga coffee shops, given its cozy ambiance, chic wooden furnishings, and tantalizing aroma of award-winning java that’s been diligently roasted on-site. The attention to detail that has gone into designing this quaint abode with a delightful balance of charm and utility makes it an easy go-to for daytime meetings with colleagues, long overdue coffee dates, and solo study sessions.
Apartment Cafe
Situated at the base of a residential building on Foothill Blvd, Apartment Cafe offers guests an aesthetically gifted atmosphere accentuated by pink tones, plush chairs, marble tabletops, touches of greenery, a pair of highly Instagrammable angel wings, great big windows that let the sunshine pour on through, accommodations for remote work, and an outdoor patio overlooking historic Route 66. The picturesque decor serves as an accomplice to thoughtfully crafted, rewardingly delicious coffee beverages, delectable desserts, and toasted sandwiches.
Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii
Down at the end of an unassuming strip mall just off the 210 Freeway, Bad Ass Coffee serves soul-stirring signature lattes, nutritious fruit smoothies, and refreshing lemonades amidst tropical digs dappled with several comfy seating arrangements. Kona coffee trees thrive on the rich volcanic soil and humid climate of Hawaii’s big island, it’s the one-of-a-kind ecosystem there that produces java beans savored by coffee connoisseurs the world over. In a nod to the spirit and flavor of Hawaii, the team here proudly serves 100% pure Kona coffee.

&Coffee Co is a gorgeous coffee bar that can be found nestled inside Haven City Market – a lively destination showcasing a variety of vendors doling out global bites. In addition to specialty drinks such as the caramel-hinted California Bliss, &Coffee’s menu features loose-leaf teas and scrumptious pastries. Last but certainly not least, should you meander on in at the tail end of an exhaustive work day, feel free to take a load off with a crisp craft beer or glass of fine wine.
85oC Bakery Cafe
85oC Bakery specializes in bread baked every hour, the store carries over 60 different varieties of breads inspired by European, Asian and Danish trades. As far as your morning fix is concerned, rest assured that every coffee is made with freshly ground espresso beans and shots are brewed to a perfect symphony.
The founder of this popular, ever-growing business, Mr. Cheng-Hsueh Wu visited a cafe in a 5-star hotel back in 2003 and while treating himself to some gourmet pastries and drinks, he realized that the prices were set way too high for people to enjoy on a whim. From that moment, Mr. Wu has envisioned a shop that provides premium coffee, bread, and cake at affordable prices.
Red Hill Coffee Shop
Red Hill is a family-friendly breakfast-only diner that has been around since the Route 66 era. Whether you’d like to settle into a cozy corner and appreciate the company of loved ones over a steamy cup of joe, snag a stool at the countertop and work your way through a breakfast plate loaded end to end with all the usual fixings, or grab a quality pick-me-up before getting back on the road, whatever the case may be, the friendly folks here have got you covered.
