So so good!!! Went with some friends and they got Cookies from the Crypt while I got Children of the Oats. Both were amazing. The atmosphere was so cool, they had a horror movie playing, dark atmospheric lights, and really cool props. I had been wanting to stop by here for a while and was not disappointed at all. I will definitely be going back soon to try more drinks!

Horror themed coffee shop in Yucaipa (1st location). The horrifically cool themed shop was dark and eeriely fantastic. Blood soaked walls in decor of everything horror movie related. The undead staff was friendly and service was stalkingly attentive. The Dead-ristas made me "Worms Michael" (Strawberry cream with cold brew). This terrifyingly delicious drink stabbed my taste buds with delight. The blood themed cup was an eye gouging pleasure for sure. If you are ever in the area or just want to drive out, drag your corpse over for a visit! 10/10 would return from the grave to visit here.

It's dark inside and I just don't mean the Freddy, Annabelle, Jason, Megan, Michael Myers props but it's literally hit the lights "you don't pay the light bill around here" dark. I tried the Helter Skelter which is like an Arnold Palmer expect it has blood orange/peach lemonade super tasty 2 machetes way up

I have taken a handful of trips out here and always make it right before they are open! Line can get long quickly. Parking lot is small. Coffee shop is even smaller. After you order you may have time to take some photos before your drink is ready. This is not a sit and sip type of place. It's very much a grab and go I got hooked on Freddy's nightmare the last 2 trips so time to switch it up on the next trip. I love the vibe. The people are cool. Drinks have been quite delicious especially if you like those sugary coffee drinks. I definitely save myself for this place to get that fix hahaha Hope to be back soon!

This place is a VIBE! Parking- 10/10 easy and spacious! And cool! Location- Off of a Main Street, easily Found. Atmosphere- SUPER COOL! As you walk in you're instantly transported into a 90's scary movie. It's busy but in all the right ways but not overly creepy to scare the kiddos. It's perfectly done not one bit cheesy. Nostalgia hits at every corner if you're from the 80's-90s. Staff: 10/10 Friendly, helpful and chill. A girl helped us find the right drink based off of our likes and the guy behind her made them all and they were all delicious. They were so chill we never felt rushed although we took our time, they answered every question and even gave us suggestions on where to go next to try in town. Drinks: The menu is short and sweet but not limited to. They offered to make or mix anything we'd like but we wanted to stick to what was on the menu and visually appealing. I won't even act like I remember what we got because the names are cool but can be easily confusing. The drinks were sweet, coffee ones strong but not burnt and the kids ones were crème based and delicious. Overall this place is such a vibe and just worth a visit even if you don't buy anything however don't be douches and support a small shop. Their drinks are good and made with love, the place is visually appealing and entertaining. The inside is and can get a bit crowded once a rush comes in, so if you already got your drink and took a look be a doll and move aside for the next people to enjoy. The parking is still pretty cool so if you don't want to leave chill outside until it dies down and you can go back in. Regardless this place is a MUST!

I stopped by Roast the Dead for a quick coffee pick-me-up before venturing out to pumpkin patch for an outing with friends. I sure am glad I found this spot and treated myself to some yummy and spooky sips! The interior was impeccably decorated with Halloween-esque decor - such fabulous spooky vibes! The staff were so incredibly kind and wonderful to talk to - which truly made for a 10/10 experience. I ordered the Hi Ya Georgie subbed with oat milk and it was such a beautifully crafted drink! You can tell the folks here love what they do and genuinely care about creating not only yummy, but eye-catching drinks too! 'Tis the season to indulge your taste buds in some coffee (or not-coffee) and Roast the Dead is the perfect place to do it! I highly recommend this spot to any and all folks visiting the area!

Always a great place!!! This time I got to bring my kids and they enjoyed it!!! Everything is always great to look at no matter how many times you come here. It was weird to go next door for the merchandise and baked good. The employees are always willing to assist with choices if you are confused on what to order. My kids loved looking around and couldn't stop looking at all the cool things everywhere! The ambiance is great. We also came on a busy day and waiting outside was kind of long but understandable. So if it's a weekend, don't expect to go in right away. There are also a couple of booths outside that are selling product. I don't know if they are there all the time.

This is such a unique experience and coffee shop. Be warned it can get crowded on the weekends. I had to wait 45 minutes just to enter the building because they only allow a small amount of people at a time. It's not something I would frequent but if you're new to the area this is certainly worth checking out. You enter and see a bunch of horror themed props around. I got these two drinks. Freddy Nightmare Fog - If you like a classic cold brew this is delicious. The fog part was red velvet flavor and worked so well with the coffee. (5/5) Hellrazor - Be warned this drink is very spicy, it leaves a spicy aftertaste. Delicious non the less. You get a chocolate taste initially with a punch of spice after. (4.5/5) The theming is cool and the drinks are actually very good and unique. Worth coming at least once. Maybe come at a random time if you don't like to wait.
