    Outdoor seating

    hot pistachio latte 10/10 iced honeycomb latte (cardamom & honey) 7/10 - lots of earthy flavors, not sweet but has a good espresso & milk ratio, so I enjoyed it still. This was such a cute little coffee shop - lots of unique flavors all with in-house made syrups and yummy pastries! There is NO INDOOR SEATING here however, but a cute little set up outdoors with bouquets available for purchase from a vendor! Overall, a great experience! Very friendly baristas and quick service.

    One of my favorite coffee shops in Carlsbad. It has everything: lots of space in that patio shared with many other businesses, awesome original pastries, great coffee, interesting decor, designer tables, cute little patio on the other side too. The merchandise is also cute. I like the variety of spaces you have and that it does not feel overcrowded. The music create ambiance but a bit loud for my taste.

    Love Revolution and their coffee! Their seasonal drinks hook me every time! This time I had a honeycomb latte with the honeycomb cold foam. The honeycomb latte has cardamom and the flavor was perfect. Not too sweet, but the cold foam was also amazing. The ham and cheese croissant was calling my name. It's super flakey and the cheese with ham was delicious! They have picnic tables and smaller tables to work and hangout. The staff were friendly and gave great recs!

    Vanilla latte and Matcha latte

    Okay, I saw this listing and it looked like something I really wanted to try and after doing so I wish I had went back to the place I hit a couple months ago. So, we get there and see a pretty good and see a steady line coming out the door, okay cool. However in what we tried it's just an okay spot. I would say they have a great business model and have cool merch and crazy cool art and stuff but the drinks weren't anything special like what we expected. My wife got the matcha latte with honey and it was not well made. Seems like they feel more is better when it comes to putting matcha in the drink. More is not better. It just makes the matcha taste like grass. Ground powdered matcha is basically a concentrate and needs to be treated that way. Had my review been just on her drink it would be a one star. Her drink is exactly why a lot of people say matcha is not good. A well made matcha should be delicious. I got a vanilla latte and it was just okay. Tasted fine but wasn't anything that would have me wanted to come back for more. I do have to give it to them for the latte artwork as they do great on that. But the drink was just okay. We also got an heirloom blueberry and corn scone which was good but the corn makes it a bit gritty like corn bread, which I like although it could throw someone off if they are not expecting it. The other pastries all looked pretty good and we saw some breakfast sandwiches coming out that did look good too.

    About to jump ship and become a SD girly for this coffee shop. It literally doesn't get better than this. Incredible atmosphere, picnic style dining, cutesy stores, and the most picturesque coffee shop all in one shopping center. If you couldn't tell, I'm smitten by Revolution Roasters. This coffee shop has it all. Their menu has the perfect balance of caffeine to festive. I ordered one of their seasonal beverages: the pistachio latte with almond milk. It was creamy and nutty, with a healthy dose of espresso. I also tried their tomato croissant and the apple pop tart. Both were beautifully crafted and so so tasty. Would easily return the next time I'm in Carlsbad!

    This is one of my favorite coffee shops, honestly probably in my top 2-3. As a local to the area, I can't stop coming back! The baristas are all very friendly. The pastries are me and my wife's favorite all time from coffee shops, with a rotating seasonal menu that is house made, fresh, and creative! The ambiance is solid. And the coffee is always consistently great. 1000% recommend this place! They also have allergy friendly options, for those that are gluten free, as well as sandwiches and toasts. Great community spot to visit as well!

    We love to visit this coffee shop when we visit Carlsbad. It's such a beautiful spot for families. There is an outdoor yard area for kids to play and run around. There is a cute little Rv shop you can buy clothes from and relax outside. We always get our kids vanilla steamers. I really enjoyed the honey lavender latte my first morning and the Vanilla latte the second day. We ordered their avocado toast from the coffee shop that was delicious.

    First pit stop: making sure to fill up on matcha. On a beautiful Sunday morning, I decided to stop by this spot--and yes, the line was out the door. But don't let that scare you away because the service is incredibly fast. I went with the Burrata toast, while my friends ordered the jam cream cheese toast and the classic avocado toast. Everything was amazing. The flavors were fresh, simple, and really well done. They also have some other delicious items on the menu, and I couldn't resist grabbing the corn blueberry scone. It didn't last long at all--it was absolutely out of this world. The whole area is just so cute. It's a beautiful space where you can enjoy your food outside in a shared seating area with other nearby restaurants, which makes the whole experience feel lively and fun.

    Loved the Strawberry Matcha! It wasn't too sweet and it came right away ! Fast service and relaxing setting.

    What a fantastic little nugget in the heart of downtown Carlsbad! From the drinks to the food, staff and service This company deserves an applause It's situated right in the middle of everything! Order from the counter- this kinda needs a little help as there is always a line... and anything worth waiting on is a line I'll stand in! But if you're in a hurry this is your heads-up! But every drink and EVERY pastry is the best of what Carlsbad offers! They have seating outside with chairs and tables, music softly playing. It's really a great place to come and meet friends, or even a place I would come alone and have breakfast and read or work! I am overly picky about my pastries since traveling through Europe- but I don't have to leave Carlsbad for a fantastic treat!! Even if the combination doesn't sound good- they are Delicious!! I actually woke up this morning thinking about their Earl Gray Pop tart? I don't even like pop tarts!!! Anyways just a quick review so others know this is a special Gem in our city!!!

    Love this area. They have a few laptop-friendly tables inside, but the outdoor space is really what makes this place amazing. It's a shared open space with Pop Pie, Stella, and a brewery, with lots of tables under the trees which was the perfect mix of sun and shade on a beautiful sunny day :) It's also very family-friendly, which adds to the vibe. I was able to grab a seat inside to work and study, which worked out well. I ordered a latte, which was good, but unfortunately they don't offer "for here" ceramic cups :( I'd still come back to get some work done and enjoy the space.

    First time here

    Came here early morning to a longer line then I was expecting. Parking is pretty easy, either in the lot or street. Great outdoor seating. Only one register was open, and there was only one that I saw. Line was slow and long but I wasn't in any rush. I got a hazelnut toffee latte and an iced matcha. Both well made not too much ice at all which I appreciate. I was going to get a pastry but they don't offer to heat up the pastry. Maybe next time I come I'll grab an avocado toast. Really nice lawn area. Coffee is served without a cover so you can add sugar and your own cover and straw in the little section. Indoor seating is scarce I'll be back for sure. Great vibe all around, cash register guy was super chill

    My shitty milk latte for $8
    Alan F.

    Terrible. Came in today for my girlfriend's birthday, ordered a Lavender Honey Latte with light ice. Which I guess light ice is an extra $1, so my total is now $8. My latte was garbage, it tasted like a glass of milk no joke. No flavor, at all. If I wanted a glass of milk for $8 I would've gone to the store and bought a gallon and poured it over ice. Literally just tasted like milk and nothing else. See below how pale and ass my latte looks for $8!!! DO NOT COME HERE YOUR LATTE WILL LITERALLY JUST TASTE LIKE MILK. I watched the barista pour soooo much milk into my drink. And no, I didn't ask for extra milk. The cashier rung it up that way for no reason. Ridiculous mistake, if I ask for light ice why would that mean I want extra milk that makes it a 12oz glass of milk??? Yikes

    This place has hit the spot 3 times now! Located by the train station in Carlsbad, you can come…read morehere for breakfast, brunch, lunch or a VERY early dinner. The menu is a variety and everything we've tried has tasted so fresh! My only qualm was recently ordering a soda water with lime for $4.50, although they're free refills I thought this was very expensive. The service has always been fast and friendly when it comes to seating, ordering and food delivery, as they are always quite busy it's appreciated that it's always been a short wait with a smile! The outdoor seating is covered and quaint, there's indoor seating, a coffee shop and a restroom. The parking in village parking nearby, but we've never had an issue!

    This place is pretty chill and conveniently in the middle of a beachy downtown of Carlsbad…read more My BF had the Maple Fried Chicken Sandwich and said it was good. I had a bite and thought it was crunchy and flavorful. I had the Shorehouse Cheeseburger and it was good as well. I was glad that it came with fresh onions, lettuce and tomatoes. I can't have burgers without these things! I LOVE the skinny fries that came with the burger! I asked our server where they order it from and she actually went back to the kitchen to get that info for me. So nice of her/them to give me this info! Overall recommend!
