Mike and the entire team at Dreamwave are doing such an incredible job of making the experience worth every penny. The quality of the coffee, the work they do, and the service they provide is truly top tier. While they do have a lot of fun flavors, this is not the kind of place that drowns the palate with sweetness. They expertly balance the ratio of syrup, milk, and espresso to provide the best outcome. The nuttiness of their roast really shines, and they're always happy to adjust the sweetness if you need them to. Personally, I love the lower sweetness level being the default. These guys know what they're doing! We've been visiting for the past week and have stopped through Dreamwave four times this week. While I'm always in the need of a coffee fix, we've gone out of our way to visit multiple times because the people have been so beyond kind. We've sampled most of the house flavors and I can confidently say they have all been delicious. This would definitely be my go-to shop if I lived nearby.

This is my first time coming to this local coffee shop and we loved the decorations! We arrived…read morebefore the morning rush and we ordered 3 breakfast items and 4 drinks. We got our drinks after waiting 15 minutes and then waited another 30 minutes for our food when the morning rush came in.. and We checked in on our food and it seemed like they didnt start our food order.. Had we not checked in, we wouldve waited for something that might've not come. Definitely recommend a better system of keeping track of customers food and drinks order because it didnt come all at once.. and we hoped no one took our order by accident either. Overall, the food and drinks were good. We just wish we didnt wait almost an hour for our order.

First off, the service was incredibly kind. I think the owner or manager helped me out. He was so…read morenice. Although there was a small line, he didn't make me feel rushed to order as quickly as I could. So that was already very welcoming. I got the iced smoked salt maple latte, half sweet. He warned me it was in the sweeter side so I am glad I got half sweet because it's still decently sweet! I subbed oatmilk which was free. This was $7. There were several vegan pastry options. We got the blueberry muffin and cinnamon roll. 5/5, no notes! We grabbed it to go but there was both inside and outdoor seating.

Not the best s'mores-themed latte that I've tried. - Salt maple latte: verrrrry subtle maple taste and didn't even notice a salty flavor edge to it. Overall didn't seem like the drinks that I tried reflected their pricing. Visited on a weekday at around 8 am and service was a bit slow with one barista having to operate the cashier and prepare the orders.

I was bummed at first because it was only a drive through and there were about 6 cars in line. But just like the reviews I read said, it did move very quickly. There wasn't much of an ambiance since it was only a drive through. But I will say all the girls working were awesome friendly and really nice. But the best part was the cold brew with no cream I ordered. It was actually the best cold brew I've ever had with nothing added. My new coffee stop between SD and OC.

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!

I also liked the unique decor and their bathroom sign that I took a picture of.

One of my coworkers used to rave about the coffee here. I finally got to try it! We visited three…read moretimes in a 2-week span. The first time we went, we ordered Cafe de la Olla and La Morena- both with oat milk and I asked them to double check the syrups did not contain dairy. I was told all was good so we enjoyed our lattes and our daughters shared a hibiscus refresher. On our second and third visit we ordered again, La Morena and one other latte. I asked again if the syrups contained any dairy and was told no. We ordered again with oat milk. On the second visit, my husband had stomach problems and I suspect dairy was somehow inadvertently used. On the third visit, I thought it may have been a fluke, my husband getting sick and so we ordered what we had the first time but this time I got sick. So, I'm not sure if there is dairy in the syrup or if they accidentally used cow milk in our lattes. Too bad too, because the flavors were tasty. We also appreciated the donuts from Doughside Donuts. I'm just not sure we will be ordered coffee from here anymore. The entry is really cute and you automatically see the variety of plants. They sell some jewelry and plant/Mexican pastry merchandise. Service was friendly but parking is not so great, especially when they are busy. Street parking only and it can be slim, especially on street sweep days. Cute shop but be weary if staying away from dairy.

However, my friends from North County highly recommended this establishment and kindly invited me to join them. The outdoor seating is spacious and inviting, creating a pleasant atmosphere. The friendly service adds to the overall experience. Initially, I was contemplating getting a coffee, but my friend insisted on trying the matcha. And let me tell you, you won't regret it. As I mentioned earlier, I'm not usually a fan of matcha, and I often end up regretting it and discarding it. But this time, I was pleasantly surprised. I was thoroughly satisfied and regained my trust in matcha. My friend opted for pastries, and she thoroughly enjoyed them, even devouring them.

Revolution Roasters is one of my absolute favorite coffee spots in Oceanside. Is the parking a…read morechallenge? Absolutely. But it's 100% worth it. This place has such a loyal following that people will happily walk a few blocks just to get their Revo fix. One of my favorite things is their seasonal menu. I've learned to fully embrace each special while it's here because once it's gone, it's gone. Right now, I'm completely obsessed with the Coconut Mango Sticky Rice Matcha. I'm pretty sure the baristas recognize me as "the Sticky Rice Matcha lady" at this point! I'm soaking up every sip while it's in season, and although I'll be sad when it's gone, I know they'll surprise me with something amazing next season. Their food is just as impressive. The toast is delicious, they use Prager Brothers bread, organic avocado, and fresh tomatoes, and you can really taste the difference that quality ingredients make. It's refreshing to find a café that clearly cares about food integrity. Another huge bonus for me is that they offer almond milk. So many coffee shops default to oat milk, but I appreciate having another option that fits my preferences. The only downside is the parking. My strategy is simple: go early if you can. Once it gets busy, finding a spot can be an adventure. But even with that minor inconvenience, Revolution Roasters is absolutely worth the trip. Incredible coffee, thoughtful seasonal drinks, quality ingredients, and a team that clearly cares about what they serve. Easy five stars.

I noticed a couple of moms chatting while their kids played, while others were working on their laptops, which gave the café a relaxed and inviting vibe. My favorite part of this location is the outdoor seating. You might not notice it at first since it's tucked away past the restrooms, but it's the perfect spot to enjoy some fresh air. There's also plenty of parking, which is a huge plus. My go-to drink is usually a mocha Frappuccino, but they don't offer blended drinks--only iced beverages. That ended up being fine because their iced mocha was delicious, and the coffee itself had a great flavor. I'll definitely be back!

Regardless of the presentation, I was not a big fan of the taste. There's nothing that really stand out to me. Not even the drinks, they can either be really bland, milky, or sweet. I mean, to each their own right? I decide to follow up with a second visit for a birthday cake to see if the cake would change my mind. Although was still disappointed. I guess this place was just not meant for me. I will say this place is really nice and aesthetic. Visually pretty and clean, I'll give them that. As well as their customer service, they have a couple of staff that are really nice and welcoming. I appreciate the help I received on the two visits I took here.
