I had been to the predecessor of Augie's, but this was my first visit. I bought a cafe au lait for $2.25 (it was to go, no tax). According to the coffee for sale, they use IE Coffee. The coffee was robust, with not a strong milk flavor. I saw local attorney Joesph Arias sitting reading the Daily Journal. Actually, as is the norm for Redlands, I saw a lot of people sitting around. The staff was very friendly. They seemed to have a long shift. After seeing them in the morning, they were giving away or selling water and coffee to the people at Vintage Redlands later in the evening. Same two people. A search of the County's website finds that Augie's is owned by Kenneth L. Johnston. Inland Empire Coffee appears to be owned by Cliff Young, who elsewhere on the web urges people to shop local merchants and companies. Well, I did, at Augie's.
