This place is all about coffee. I've never met anyone more knowledgeable about beans than the owner/proprietor. He served everyone with a smile and will gladly talk about his coffee endlessly! I've learned so much about coffee from him! They're also up at the Vista farmer's market. And you cannot beat the location! Idyllic koi pond, plenty of seating, flowing waterfalls.. absolute perfection. Just go, sip and enjoy. I hope you do! read more

I'm always in search of amazing espresso when I travel - I must sound like a broken record. Research turned up Origen and I set off one morning to give it a try. I was a little confused when Waze led me to an office parking area where I spotted an umbrella and what looked like a coffee stand. Undeterred, I parked and ventured over. It was the most unique, unusual and memorable coffee experience I've ever had. This place is for true coffee and espresso aficionados. The man working the kiosk referred to the place as a wine bar for coffee as the coffee is prepared, discussed and poured the same way fine wine is. If you love Starbucks, do not go here! If you love thoughtfully and artfully well prepared single Origen coffee, this place should not be missed. Ideally, the coffee should be ordered, prepared and consumed without dairy products so that you truly taste, experience and enjoy all the flavors. Ideally, it would be best to purchase a pour over, and they have a menu dedicated to them. It should be on every coffee and espresso addicts must go to list. I highly recommend it and I'm excited to enjoy the beans I bought at home. read more

Nestled in between business buildings in a kiosk, this coffee place is a hidden gem for the true coffee connoisseurs. No fluff here. During the time we went, 10:30am on Monday, there were plenty of parking all around the building where it is located. And only a couple people in the seating area by the koi pond. It was so quiet and peaceful. Only the sound of water pouring into the pond. A family owned business, Reuben the owner, knows his craft. He is so kind to explain all the variations of the pour-over menu items and we definitely tasted what we happily expected. Their coffees are SO good!! And the matcha latte surpassed my daughter's expectations and LOVED her drink. Perfectly balanced. Reuben's daughter, Paola, working with him, was equally friendly and helpful with the other menu items as well. We tried the jalapeño ham & cheddar croissant & the ham & swiss croissant, both were toasted in a panini press. Delicious! And the chocolate chip cookie, lightly salted. SO thick & good! Overall, it was a great experience. Not a huge menu but quality items. It's definitely top notch and we're going back!! Also I might add, they're only open til 2:00pm on the weekdays, closed at this location on the weekends because they're at farmer's markets. read more

Coffee: I'm really not the type to exaggerate, but this was the best iced coffee I've had in a while. Several different types of beans are available if you prefer specific regions/flavors over others. Food: Ham & Swiss Croissant was excellent. Freshly made, and it was carefully cut evenly in the middle for convenient eating. Service: Super nice guy. Went out of his way to suggest one coffee type over another given what I was going for and time of day. Parking: Plenty. Parking lot adjacent to corporate offices. Seating: Outdoor 4-person tables next to the coffee shop. Umbrellas and overhead shade, a few sets of comfy lounge chairs. Vibe: Koi pond with ducks, turtles, etc with a mini bridge connecting the parking lot to the shop really set the mood. Perfect for solo adventures as well as datesn, casual studying/relaxing. Best for sunny weather days. read more

Wanted a good coffee/latte and found this spot near our hotel. Iced vanilla latte was super well-balanced and not too sweet! I loved that I can still taste the espresso, even with the vanilla. Definitely one of my favorite vanilla lattes ever. Owner is super nice and it being situated near a koi pond with lots of seating and tables made the experience great! read more

most THOROUGH coffee tour EVER. reuban the owner (i think?) went through an EXTREMELY detailed process of explaining everything coffee related from the bean to the flavors to the way they make each cup of coffee. he picked out different pour over options to let us try a spectrum of flavors and presented each one to us. i've never learned SO MUCH about coffee and the pour overs were seriously PERFECT. WOWWW. extremely underrated place. outside area even has a super cute pond w koi fish & turtles and lilly pads & a waterfall it's seriously SO beautiful!!! this place is DEFINITELY worth the visit!!! read more

Origen is definitely not in a place you'd expect to find a coffee shop but it has quickly become one of my favorites. There aren't any fancy flavors, but you don't need them when the drink is made perfectly. Service is always fantastic and there's a neat Koi pond next to the coffee stand where you can enjoy your coffee. They aren't open on weekends, but that's because they're usually at the Vista farmers market. read more

Always a good spot to get coffee. Haven't been back here in awhile but definitely by if I'm working nearby

Amazing coffee I had an great experience getting to taste all their different coffees. Very friendly people and great service. Datebayooooooooo!! read more

I was going to settle for the free hotel coffee this morning but they ran out and wouldn't make another pot. So I figured if I was going to have to go out for coffee, I might as well get good coffee and that's how we stumbled upon here en route to Legoland. I stayed in the car with the kiddo while my husband went in and ordered. He said the guy working the place was really friendly. He brought me out a vanilla latte and it was perfection. I hate when lattes are overly sweet. This had just a touch of sweetness and you could still appreciate the actual coffee itself. My husband was happy with his Americano too. And they were reasonably priced. read more

When you find amazing coffee in a business park across the street from a local airport you know you are winning! I could have stayed a had more coffee! This place will be on my list whenever I visit the area and I am looking forward to ordering some beans online! read more

If you like coffee, go here. Amazingly helpful on what the coffees are. The coffee is as good as anywhere, and the beans are amazing.

Coffee snobs UNITE! This is your place, think of it as a winery but coffee. Delicious drip coffees, cute little area. These people know their coffee beans. read more

Great coffee from neat folks. Strongly recommend them. My family have weekly subscriptions and they make great and desired Christmas gifts to relatives near and far. read more

Can't speak on the espresso, but had a pleasant drip coffee here. Located between many different corporate offices, which means there's plenty of seating around. If I were in the area more, it'd be a great option for working or conversation. Owner is super friendly and really knows his way around the beans and their origin. All the flavor notes and origin details are listed, and you can buy small bags directly from him. I'm more than willing to pay for coffee from here than any big chain. read more

Today being "National Coffee Day" and all, we couldn't resist the urge to try a new place and that led us to Origen Coffee Roasters. Tucked in between several office buildings, this quaint little place keeps it simple with limited menu options and outdoor seating only. While this isn't the place you camp out for the day because of the free Wifi and background music, this is a great option if you need a quick infusion of caffeine while juggling many things on a busy day. And that's...Henry's Take. #carlsbadcoffee read more

Unbelievable coffee. And better service. The owner is extremely nice and knowledgeable. The location is a little different because its in a business area, but once you get there is very nice. Your surrounded with small waterfall features and koi fish. Very relaxing. Definitely would recommend. read more

Had a delightful experience today enjoying Geisha varietal and learning about the benefits of coffee from the knowledgeable owner. Recommend all the way! read more

Great coffee selection, but what really shined about Origen was the knowledge of the barista. We chatted for a few minutes about what I like, how I usually take my coffee, and he made a fantastic recommendation! I did a pour over of his recommendation straight up, which I don't typically drink coffee without cream and sugar. But it was so delicious that I didn't need anything more. It's an unassuming spot, just a tiny shack with some outdoor seating, but the weather is generally nice enough that it's a perfect spot. Also, the beautiful koi pond adjacent to Origen is a stunning addition to the ambiance!! read more

Great experience. Worth the drive and the outdoor setting is relaxing. One of the sweetest, smoothest cups of espresso I've had. Ruben knows coffee and shares that with great joy and enthusiasm. read more

Fragrant coffee. Not bitter. Well balanced. Will definitely return to get more when in the area. Yummier than the chain coffee shops.

Just what i was looking for!!! I'm not a Starbucks fan anymore- too acidic and too corporate. Really i'm just looking for a small privately owned coffee shop or cart that has amazing single origin coffee! i found it!!!! Please try this tucked away coffee cart - you will not be sorry! So good! The coffee is some of the best I've ever had. The owner is so sweet too - She made me smell the beans and then taste a small sample before i took my pour over from her. She has my business!!! read more

Good coffee. Excellent service. Nice spot on the street if you wanted to sit and people watch. Nice selection of pastries too.

In this area frequently and wanted to try the coffee. It's located between a few office buildings but very gorgeous setting with a koi pond. Super friendly service. Latte was perfect and ordered a breakfast burrito that was just amazing! Highly recommend! read more

Amazing coffee and service! Ruben greeted us and was so thorough introducing the coffee menu letting us know that the sky is the limit for how your drink could be prepared. He also gave some info about the coffee roasting that is done every other day. You can't get coffee this fresh anywhere! Our drinks were delicious and watching the care that Ruben put into making them made our visit all that more special. Bought some espresso for home (roasted yesterday) and can't wait to use it. Highly recommend Origen Coffee Roasters! read more

The pourover I had here is the best cup of coffee I've gotten in SoCal. Barista (also co-owner?) went with a Clever Dripper brew method, after carefully explaining the different beans available for pourover. I'm surprised there aren't more reviews of this place. We went the day after Christmas and they were very friendly and happy to answer questions, talk shop and beans, and about their farm. There weren't a ton of people so the owner even gave us a complementary pastry! This place is a bit hidden away, yes, so it's a detour to go for coffee here. It may just be a matter of preference, but I've spent a couple weeks running around trying out different specialty coffee spots and this one came out on top for flavor. read more

Amazing coffee!! Ordered on line and received the order in one business day, great service!
