I am very picky when it comes to quality coffee & they get it right EVERY TIME! I go there almost daily with my dogs Bella & Maya .. right when I walk in they greet me by my first name , know my order & have a treat already waiting for my fur babies . Allie, lex , Jessica & Christina are the best baristas hands down . They also have a cool artsy ambiance. Check them out you won't be disappointed!

Wow. Firstly I love the name "Dreamwave Coffee". The vibe inside very much gives a Dream-like…read moreatmosphere! There's a quote in the bathroom by Carl Jung that says "He who looks outside dreams, he who looks inside awakens". I love the thoughtfulness and details. Mike, who owns the shop, helped me find what I was looking for off their menu. He gave great descriptions and mentioned their house-made syrups weren't too sweet. I got the "High Tide" coconut vanilla latte. It was delicious! And not too sweet. It was made by Lex who was super friendly. Mike went above and beyond and gave me a complimentary slice of their house banana bread. Incredibly thoughtful gesture and it was sooo good! And again not too sweet. This is a special little coffee shop with wonderful people, thoughtfully crafted drinks, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. I'll definitely be back.

They have fun seasonal interesting flavors. The baristas are also very helpful. One of my friends did not want something sweet and they have a great recommendation (and said they could make some of the drinks half sweet if needed)

The owner Jason is such an asshole! I am never ever gonna…read morecome back here ever agin for my black coffee with espresso shots. This afternoon ago around 3 PM, I sat outside just enjoying my plane on a cold windy day. While siting and just having my coffee minding my own business, i heard a loud scream. It turns out these loud rowdy middle school girls walked past by this coffee place laughing, they saw me for the way I look, of course, I was wearing all black, had eyeliner and black nail polish. I got called "hey emo!" which is a very very demeaning. I have not ever heard anyone call someone that name since high school in a long time since before early 2010s I don't care what anyone else thinks of me, I was not bothered at all. But just in case, i was so nervous but I had very little bit of strength to tell the store manager what happened and had the audacity to shrug it off, " if there's anything else I can do for you." Well, you know what then, since I was harassed and degraded, I will never come back here again. Calling someone "emo" is really degrading, it's derogatory, it's hurtful. it's the same thing to call someone a f@g, it's not OK to call anyone that. Jason was never helpful nor apologetic towards me! I never let any name-calling get to me, but I don't deserve to get hurled out while I was simply sitting outside at the tables alone just having my coffee. Jason can go fuck himself! Fuck you jason! Asshole!!!!!

(three stars bc i love my coffee, supporting local and majority of the girls there)

I have been on a quest to quench my craving for the best banana-inspired latte...and I dare say…read moreBanana Dang is the BEST! I tried the iced shaken banana and let me describe in detail: 1. totally natural yet balanced banana flavor 2. silky smooth texture (can liquid be a texture?) 3. the perfect espresso to milk to ice ratio (ideal latte color) the staff was welcoming, friendly, and super chill - expect a relaxed vibe in the cafe! they provided great recs and I can't wait to try the entire menu. yes, this spot is worth the drive or walk or bike as someone who has tried a crazy amount of banana lattes in the SD & North County areas. obsessed is an understatement!

The staff was really nice and I just loved all the plants. I also loved how they have indoor and outdoor seating. I ordered the everything bagel with cream cheese - not sure where they get the bagels but I loved it! And they put a lot of cream cheese which I appreciate. I got La Fresa which has strawberry cold foam and after mixing it, I liked it. I will definitely be back to try more coffee and their other food options.

The…read moredrive made me sleepy, so on my way back, since now the traffic was heavier, I looked for some place to grab a coffee. Revolution came up and was close. Right off of Vista Way in Oceanside. Scored a spot right in front...must've been kismit! They have the regular coffees but also some signature drinks as well. But it looks like there's some seasonal coffees too. Friendly hello when it was my turn. Me: So what do you think, butterscotch or pistachio? He: I would say pistachio because sometimes the butterscotch is too sweet for some. Pistachio it was! So definitely inquire about the seasonal coffees because this was delicious! Great flavor and dark chocolate shavings on top. This helped keep me awake on my long drive home! Love that they're local! Also bought The Colores blend which they happily ground for me, and it is really good! Mellow flavor with a hint of dark chocolate finish. I now have a great spot to stop at if in the area and in need. They have great outdoor seating that's dog friendly, and a nice dining area.

We visited Carlsbad for a few days and had breakfast in Oceanside. We decided to try this coffee…read morespot as it was right next to the breakfast joint we went to. Coffee 10/10 We ordered their vanilla latte with marshmallow cold foam and their coconut latte with toasted coconut cold foam. Both were incredible! The vanilla latte was not too sweet so the cold foam wasn't overkill at all. Both cold foams are more on the runny side and not too thick. The coconut latte was sooo tasteful. The coconut flavor definitely comes through. This was our first time trying a coconut latte and we were not disappointed. Food 9/10 We didn't order much food or pastries since we had breakfast prior but the pastries did look so good! We did get a salted shortbread to try and it was pretty solid. Vibes/Ambiance : 7/10 We came on a Tuesday morning and it was busy. The space is very spacious and there's plenty of seating area. There were people working there and hanging out. It's an open space so that was nice. The decor is minimal but cute. The staff is okay...I don't know if I'd describe as friendly, but they weren't rude. Not sure if it was the city as a whole but we didn't really feel welcomed or came across too many friendly people. It was the same here. Didn't interact much with us...just took our order and kept it pushing. lol not necessarily a bad thing but it was something we experienced a lot. Overall, the coffee was amazing here.

It revealed the superb quality of their espresso with just a light helping of whole milk. My non-coffee-drinking buddy shockingly ordered the pistachio mocha latte, which he utterly consumed with no objections. My other friend got the matcha, which tantalized me from the sidelines (*I'll have to try it next time). Now for the setting: great lighting, chill and pleasant vibes, comfortable seating and tables. Not least although last in mentions, the people working here are true gems. Genuine folks who go the extra mile. If I had a say in the matter, the employees, managers, and maybe even the owners should get a pay raise. Hands down 10/10

Haven't been home for years and this was so exciting to see a new bakery. Everything looked great…read more My friend bought a strawberry cake from here that was very good. I purchased a Toffee latte that tasted good. My only complaint was that it was a whole two knuckles short for $6.95. I would think it would be at least to the top of brim. Also, be very careful. It was so hot that it burnt my tongue. There were two people working and it took about 10 minutes for me to get my coffee. I tried the White chocolate chip cookies but they just were not that flavorful, yet they were huge in size. Just bland. My daughter asked a local, is there anything really good that we should try. His response was, HMMMM some things are good some and others not so much. She decided not to get anything. The place was very busy on Saturday at 4 PM. Since it was kind of new at the time, when I come back in Nov this year, I will go back out and try again. The restaurant was clean and tidy.
