The Combine Kitchen

Love it here! Story time, guys!
With the mission to relax the mind and get work done, my sister and I ventured out into the unknown — we usually don’t do that in Rancho Cucamonga because it’s very corporate-​y here.
Turns out its so nice!

I love this place! The food is good and the coffee is awesome! If you like spicy get the quesadilla stack for breakfast.
I hope they change up the menu now and then. The décor reminds me of an almost upscale diner kind of look. I like how they thought outside of the box.
Definitely go!

This is the first time I come here. The décor is clean minimalist. Very pleasing & nice. She is very helpful in explaining everything, about the food and coffee.
We ordered KimChi Fried Rice & Bahn Mi sandwiches and Avogato coffee. I observed that most patrons come for the coffee. It seems coffee is their fortè.
The food is ok. I definitely will come back again to try their breakfast items. A great option to have in the neighborhood.

Absolutely delicious!
I ordered the sweet latte for my beverage, the cauliflower as my side, and the mushroom toast «Yolk and Shrooms» as my main course. I was very satisfied with my selections.
The latte was perfectly prepared by the staff and was just sweet enough — but not too sweet. The cauliflower, though so simple in preparation, was so tasty. And the mushroom toast just blew me away. Disclaimer: I do love mushrooms. But the mushroom toast is probably the best mushroom toast I’ve ever had. The garlic bread + fontina cheese + Cremini mushrooms = amazing!
The décor was very cute and I had to restrain myself from snapchatting the entire restaurant — though I definitely took pictures of all my food and beautiful latte art.
If I ever find myself in Rancho Cucamonga I’ll be sure to return to The Combine Kitchen!

Came In with boo for a light lunch ordered the lox toast with avo and poched egg that was really good
.ordered the bison patty with the side salad. But patty was dry and bland salad basic
We liked the menu esp the drink menu we tried the mellow yellow and green tea
Staff needs to have a functioning knowledge of the menu items
Also they were out of parm for the salad that should’ve been communicated prior to customer placing the order also service was slow even though we were the only ones there.

I love their coffee here! It’s top notch quality! The food is also delicious! My favorite is the salmon lox and the pumpkin soup and the yolk and mushrooms toast! They also sell adorable accessories like pens, note books, jewelry, pendants and more. This is my go to place for gourmet coffee and bites.

outstanding. I’ve been waiting for a place like this to open in nowheresville (lol sorry inland empire). this place saves me a trip from having to drive to DTLA for the usual Bottega Louie or EGGSLUT. I was a bit skeptical at first, but boy was I happy. Clean, beautiful and spacious. just the way I like it. Prices are very reasonable for what you’re getting ! Trust me. go elsewhere and you’ll easily find a few extra dollars added to each item. PLUS you don’t see items like this anywhere else in the IE!!!
We ordered the nitro-​infused cold brew, which was poured from tap! (So cool) and had a scoop of ice cream dolloped in. Reminds me of my ice coffee floats I used to order from a shabu Shabu restaurant in Fullerton! (Delicioussss!) and the bf had a mocha latte which he really enjoyed! The Barista prepares your drinks prior to taking your meal orders so you can sip as you wait. We had the Egg and shroom on toast, 28hr Pork Belly, and the green steak and eggs with arugula. Everything was on point and scrumptious! Staff is welcoming, friendly and easy to talk to. will be return vey soon!

Food is great. Rice is less than $ 10 but every other dish is $ 10 up
I’ve tried almost everything. Chicken sandwich is freaking huge so I think it might be worth the cash. However, if I were to get food here, I’d stick with a toast of some sort. The steak and eggs came with a decent amount of steak pieces on top of the toast that wasn’t too hard. There’s also a side of arugula salad.
Favorite breakfast is the quesodilla stackzzzz. They’ve got a kick to them!
Coffee is more than $ 4 and for the special ones, it’s usually $ 5+. I tend to get the 443 which is 4 shots with honey and milk, that’s priced around ~$ 5.50. The float and shake are priced at $ 6.50. which is kinda expensive but ya know, it’s pretty delicious. The taste of your drink varies with different baristas.
Location is kinda a hard to get to since if you’re getting off the freeway, you’d have to make a u-​turn to get to the center. It’s next to the church and u-​grill.
The inside of this place is hipster af. Marble and wooden counters. Leather handles for their cupboards… Who knew! But, the people that run this place are really great people and the food is great.

Finally a solid coffee shop in this area flooded with chains. My favorite is the fact that they offer cold brew on tap (such as stumptown on nitro).
Food menu looks good but have yet to try.
Music is great. A few books on a shelf to browse through. Spacious. Clean.
If you’re looking for coffee in Rancho Cucamonga I highly suggest coming here.

Flat white yum
Cortado yum
Had the cold brew before too, really good quality coffee, full of flavor and not burnt like main stream chains
Music atmosphere chill, nice place to study, read, hang out by yourself out with people for a meal ^.^

Every chance i get i will come here. GREAT coffee, nice staff, good food. Everything was fresh. Place is clean and new, very hipster and i loved every part of it.
The best part to me was the coffee. Im kind of an addict with coffee and this place just adds to the addiction.
Tip– the menu is in this big box right when you walk in. Cool concept but if there are people
Already looking you have to wait. Make some print up menus for this issue and it would be perfect!
Cant wait to go back!

You know a place is nice when you can’t understand their coffee selections, where’s my basic java chip frappuccino? But since I couldn’t decipher the coffee menu, we decided to stick to food and we weren’t disappointed. Came here on mothers day with my brother and sister sans mother (cause we are such good children) and it was not too busy.
Place: Modern and upscale. Felt very LA and I loved the books. You automatically win when you got some Aziz Ansari books up in there. Spacious with a good amount of seating. You order in the front and sit where ever you would like.
Service: Great. Guy up front was quick and helpful. After we sat down we were asked multiple times if we needed anything, which is nice for a place that doesn’t have any waiters. Water cups were small though so had to keep going back for that, maybe they are concerned with the drought? idk haha. It was a little messy looking though because they had a lot of towels laying around.
Food: 5 stars. Everyone liked what they got. My bro got the L.O.X and he loved it, i actually wasn’t a huge fan because it had a pickled flavor and I don’t particularly like pickles. Also got the big ass B.A.E (make sure there is bacon, cause its bomb) and the combine breakfast (garlic toast was the best part). Make sure you get the potatoes, crispy and delicious.
Inland empire getting all types of hipster now! Who says you need to go to LA to get a fancy brunch? It’s great that these nice, healthy places are popping up: 4.5 stars. Maybe I’ll try some of the fancy coffees next time.

Definitely add this place to your coffee rotation. They have a very interesting and diverse coffee menu and it is clear they truly care about the coffee.
The cold brew coffee was so so for me. The cappuccino however was really good and one of my favorites.
The food– I had the eggs and shrooms this time and it was delicious (heavy though). My husband had the rice and eggs which was great. Other things we have had — The big ass breakfast (it’s actual name) which was pretty good. The Rosemary bacon muffin was super dry, don’t recommend.
Overall, a great spot to try

Great new gem in the Inland Empire. Great food and coffee with an atmosphere and quality that I would expect to find in gourmet coffee shops in Los Angeles. House made Vanilla Latte with almond milk is a must! Great place to catch up on work/​study and enjoy high quality food and coffee. Kudos Combine Kitchen. Well done
BTW, wifi pw is: coffeeandfood

Food, pastries, coffee & tea.
Interior & Ambience: simple & hipster. Open space and fairly big. Came on a Saturday night and everyone was there just to eat and hang out. I didn’t see anyone studying.
Food & Pastries: I was too full to try any food or pastries, but their food is made to order and their pastries are baked in house. I saw a lot of other customers eating their food so I assume it’s pretty good.
Coffee: Everything is dripped and made to order. I tried the Nueva Llusta Boliva and it was really good! Not too citrusy or acidic. But if you like the citrusy and acidic taste, get the Ethiopia. (My husband really liked it.)
The barista was nice, patient, and helpful. I’m never in this area but if I do come back I would come again!

My friend and I were both incredibly disappointed. I expected more based on the other Unilocal reviews.
My experience started off with confused employees who had no idea what was on their menu. There were very few choices for lunch. I ordered a $ 10 salad and received a tiny plate of arugula. My friend ordered the kimchi fried rice and it was ridiculously greasy. She also told the young man she would only order food if they had sriracha sauce. He stated they had it so she proceeded with her order. He brought our food to the table, but when she asked for sriracha sauce he brought her some funky, bright green habanero sauce. She felt as if she was lied to.
The only thing I truly enjoyed was my pour over coffee. It was great quality and fresh. However, I wouldn’t go there again and pay $ 5 for a TINY cup of coffee, especially with no refills.
As others have mentioned, their wifi DOES NOT work. If you need a place to work or study, avoid this place. They were not helpful at all when it came to us trying to connect and stated «it happens a lot.»
You pay for the quality as opposed to quantity because they provide minuscule portions for people who have nonexistent appetites.
In my opinion, this restaurant isn’t suitable for Rancho Cucamonga. It belongs somewhere in Los Angeles. I don’t know how it’s still in business. There were no customers when we visited.
I’ll never return nor recommend it to anyone I care about. It just wasn’t worth it.

Don’t come here, spend money else where! Ordered the Breakfast BAE Sandwich and after a few bites noticed I was eating paper. Paper was right underneath the egg. The fake egg. Looked microwaved. Called manager over, he said he would be able to remake our sandwich for free. I said I was disgusted by the sandwich so I wanted to order a different breakfast. He said he would have to charge us more for the different plate. Are you freaking kidding me? I found a paper and you want to charge me more?.. ridiculous. This is not made to order food. They state it’s fresh but yet there’s paper underneath my frozen egg.
Not even worth a star.
In response to mangers rude response!
First of all, you pay first before you receive your food and I paid full price which was totaled at, $ 30.48. Plus a 20 percent tip! You said you «comped» my breakfast, remaking food that was made with paper does not mean «comped». You saying you gave us two free coffees by signing us up for your reward program for us to come back, is not giving free coffee! Who is really saying false things on Unilocal?I think you need to really think about how you talk to customers who just spend money in your establishment. I will make sure I will never come back, and tell others not to either!

This was our first visit, upon entering the restaurant you won’t be impressed with the décor right away, it’s spare, but clean and simple. Basic.
I came in hoping that I could get the steak and eggs and found they only serve it for breakfast so we decided to sample several items from the menu.
The avocado salad, grapefruit, dragonfruit, arugula, and walnuts very fresh.
The fried chicken sandwich, crispy coating, juicy chicken, super soft bun, spicy and well seasoned.
Pork belly, tastes like bacon fat strips, which is good if you like bacon, had a small bit of salad on the 3 strips that was comprised of apples and fresh jalapeño, I ordered a fried egg to go with it, was very good.
Coleslaw, red cabbage, good and crispy.
The tri-​tip barbecue, very tender, over-​priced at $ 22
Peach Jasmine tea, steeped for 4 minutes in cool little pots, aromatic and flavorful, very nice, $ 4.
Iced coffee served on tap, smooth and flavorful. We sampled, it was late.
One guy in the kitchen and the cashier is also the waiter, it’s a small space and they’re adequate. He earns his tip, he’s pleasant and hardworking.
The food is good but overpriced as the restaurant itself seems unfinished, like your first apartment. The menu is interesting and they are off to a great start but unfortunately they are charging more than Paul Martins for dinner and offering ¼ of the portion and none of the grown up sexy/​cozy ambiance. I respect the local grown veggies, cute little books and carafes, but the ambiance is still «off» for the rate for this area. Mismatched furniture with little stools/​benches, Ikea tables, uncomfortable chairs and no music, it was as quiet as a library.
The overall experience was, «meh», the audience they crave will not be impressed, yet… lower the menu or raise the bar.

We love to eat breakfast out. But many a day I find myself suffering from a bad case of ennui caused by a wearisome menu with purely unimaginative food. [Sigh] Not that I have ever questioned the beauty of bacon, an exception to be sure, but it’s the other stuff that is so assuredly predictable.
Would you believe I may have found some antidotes? Ones that can bring color back to my pale cheeks and turn my frown upside down. While still of an eggy persuasion, breakfasts here are unlike their country cousins in these here parts.
Antidote #1 — Not Your Mama’s Deviled Egg — A coarsely chopped egg salad nicely seasoned with mayonnaise, chunks of cornichon, piled onto a slice of griddled, garlicky sourdough toast. The egg salad itself was truly a relief from humdrum. The one thing I would do is request they go much lighter on the garlic and oil on the toast. However, the arugula side salad with a light vinaigrette was a great companion.
Antidote #2 — Yolk and Shrooms — Layered goodness. The base is a slice of griddled toast covered with a generous serving of mushrooms in a fontina cheese sauce. The chef master then tops it with a wholesome poached egg and an ample garnish of flat leaf parsley. Beautiful. But the excitement grows as the flawlessly poached egg is punctured and surrenders an ooze of yellow. Makes you wonder if you should cover your child’s eyes, it’s that sensual. The final test is the taste. Delicious. You will be forced to admit there is no need for meat and swear undying love.
The Bacon Rosemary muffin is mentioned frequently in others’ reviews. Most definitely get it. A very pleasing and delicate baked good.
Honestly, they also bake one helluva good chocolate chip cookie. Soft in the middle with a crispy edge; none of that tasteless margarine junk, it’s made with butter, and you can taste it. The bittersweet chocolate chunks are a reward in itself. If I wanted to dirty up my kitchen, mine would be almost as good (but I don’t buy the gourmet chocolate they do). I don’t do that anymore. So we splurged and got two, with nuts of course, then closed our eyes and pretended it was my recipe. They didn’t last long.
We were so pleased with both, we found ourselves driving back the next day for more. Sometimes you just don’t want that «moment» to end.
I am usually timid about trying coffee. So I did not here. But I am beginning to regret it. They appear to be inspired to do the right thing. I just found another justification for returning, as if I needed it!
Lastly, the seating. There is plenty, tables and communal counters with tall stools. If you want to count the benches (no tables) outside under the pergola, then, yes, they have dog friendly seating. Otherwise, Lilly pup must stay home.
The menu, while short and sweet, is inspired. As if the food isn’t enough, the trendy, coffee house vibe is inviting, and the cheerful welcome definitely makes me want to return.

Ah! Thank you fellow Unilocalers for helping me discover this gem!
Very modern chic décor that’s bright and awakening. Walk in and there’s a huge display with their menu: food on the left, pictures/​explanation of coffees on the right. Walk up and order with whom I believe is the owner of the place… very nice guy I wish I had gotten his name. He chatted with us quite a bit. Ordered and my sweet latte was made right then and there! My husband’s coffee was brewed with a chemex (?) on the spot after picking out his beans of choice.
APPLE PAY!
Sat down at the bar and noticed they have kombuchas on tap! Very cool, my sis in law would LOVE this place. We ordered the pork belly and lox sandwich. Pork belly was topped with mint onion and apples and crispy to perfection. Very good flavor. Ordered a side of toast and it was spread with garlic and butter.
Lox sandwich… SO GOOD. Pickled red onions, mustard seeds and dill with the salmon make for a party in your mouth. My husband LOVES lox and is pretty critical, but he really enjoyed it.
Ordered an espresso shot, and it was paired with a little shot of ginger beer to help cleanse the palette after the bitter shot. Very impressive and incredibly thoughtful.
I can’t wait to come back and try the yolk and shroom sandwich. Almost every table had ordered it, so I know it’s a must try. Also saw the «hangover cure» which the owner described as beef broth brewed straight from the bone of a grassfed cow. Healthy delicious fatty broth to cure all hangover blues paired with an espresso shot to jolt you awake. MUST TRY THESE NEXT!
