My new favorite coffee spot. Have tried both their lavender and brown sugar latte. They both tasted great. Their bacon and egg croissant sandwich really surprised me fresh ingredients and restaurant style quality and presentation. Definitely recommend this gem for a pick me up or quick breakfast -you won’t be disappointed.

i came to try their new summer menu strawberry matcha & was satisfied it was so good (7) definitely recommend if you don't like overly sweet/sugary matcha, the strawberry puree was so tasty! everyone is really nice here, and there was plenty of people inside but still various spots to sit.

Nice assortment of coffee and matcha concoctions. It's very tasty and good coffee. I'm glad places like this are in our community. They are much needed. I like the aesthetic of the store. They have merchandise for sale in the corner, including mugs and shirts. Definitely recommend the lavender and anything matcha. The employees were very nice and helped us out with all the questions we had. They have some dope flavors and pairings! Highly recommend.

We love to try different coffee shops and see and taste their coffee! This cafe is very neat, clean and nice. There’s not too much room to sit at but it is very nice to sit and enjoy a nice hot or cold cup of coffee? I’ve tried both the hot and cold coffees and they are both equally delicious! Their pastries and sandwiches and their breakfast sandwiches are so good! For us to get here is a bit of a drive but definitely worth it. When the time permits we are here enjoying our time and coffee. The service is great, there’s smiles all the time and that is something I truly appreciate and believe a business needs in order to form a connection with the guests and the employees. I love this place and I cannot wait to be back again!

I am always a supporter of places that really revitalize San Bernardino, and this is definitely one of them! Firstly, really nice atmosphere with their iconic neon lights and minimalist yet elegant logo. And they have unique and tasty drinks. I’ve gotten a few drinks of theirs but my favorite might have to be the banana matcha latte, although I’m aware that it’s a seasonal menu item. They also offer course have coffee and non-caffeinated offerings as well as sandwiches and merch!

Fives stars across the board! I love coming into Snacks. The atmosphere is really chill and the food and service is excellent! I love the Mango Kiss Green Tea and the sausage breakfast sandwich. Today I got the turkey and bacon sandwich and I’m so excited to try it! The only issue is I did ask for no tomato and they still put it on the sandwich. The sandwich comes with chips included which I loved! Okay, I just took my first bite and the sandwich is delicious. I love Snacks so much!

Went as a quick morning date with my significant other while on vacation visiting family. She had the honey rose latte with avocado toast, while i had the iced banana latte with breakfast croissant. Speed of service was great, atmosphere and vibes were exquisite, with nice jams and a neat seating area. The food itself was very well made, the croissant was cooked perfectly, with my only "complaint" being the clean-up after, since it was so well toasted and flaky! The limited time Banana Latte really was the star of the show for me, I'm not an avid coffee drinker, however, the blend of the banana and cinnamon made for a very delightful combination. If I were living in the area, this would probably be my go-to spot, have full intent on returning.
