Loveeee the ambiance here. I was visiting Carlsbad and this place is such a vibe for early morning coffee. Open concept, super friendly staff. The food is delicious but the coffee is just on another level. I had the honeycomb latte (that unfortunately is seasonal). I loved it so much I came back for a second cup before leaving town. Will definitely be back. Whoever the developers are of this 3 business suite are genius and the business owners and just killing it with the concept. I will definitely be back next time I'm in town! read more

Revolution Roasters - Seasonal toast - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Carlsbad, California

I ride my bike with my son here every Sunday without fail. Revolution has become my go to coffee shop since moving to North County, and now that there is one in the Carlsbad Village, I come in even more. This location has a great outdoor space for kids to run around in, so it's a great family weekend spot. The best Vanilla Latte around, and all their baked goods, syrups, and alternative milks are made in shop. read more

Delicious pastries. Nice location with cool vibe. Would definitely recommend, we'll be back.

Drinks are amazing! Even when it's busy, the vibe stays chill and the staff were super friendly. I'm obsessed with their coconut latte, easily my favorite, and honestly reason enough to come back. The only thing that almost threw off the moment was some lady loudly complaining about how many shots of espresso were in her cup (like girl... please). Besides that, 10/10. read more

Cool little spot, perfect for kids. The toast was delicious--I had one with tomatoes and cheese, though I can't quite remember the name. The salmon toast was just okay for me; I prefer something a bit more tart, and this one lacked the acidity I was hoping for. They also make their own coffee drinks, which were really good too! read more

2.5 stars for the price the matcha should be made with more love. I will say they made it quick but the matcha separates with the milk making it taste chalky. The matcha is too milky and doesn't taste authentic enough. I will say they have good food choices. read more

This is the best matcha in North County (and I've tried them all!). They use high quality, ceremonial grade matcha. They make their own syrups and also make their own almond milk (infused with cinnamon, dates and vanilla). Incredible pastries, yummy toasts, and they even have some vegan pastry options! The staff is super friendly and sweet. A great place to sit in a relaxing environment in the middle of town with a big parking lot. Highly recommend a stop here! read more

My favorite coffee place!! Their maple latte will always be my favorite but I honestly love all their drinks. Their pastries are also to die for, you seriously can't go wrong here!!! The staff is also always super positive and great place to either socialize or do work! read more

My new favorite coffee spot in the village! Very good tasting coffee, reminds me of Pete's. Their drinks is not watered down like the other "trendy" spot that recently opened on Boulevard. Very cool and inviting outdoor patio as well. Highly recommend checking it out. read more

Great location, excellent service and absolutely the best decaf coffee I have ever had!!!

Revolution Roasters - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Good coffee and exceptional salmon toast. The food blew the doors off the coffee. Quality food and drink 5 stars, price 4stars (small 10oz or 12 oz coffee for 5 dollars) and speed was a bit slow considering it was 1/4 full. So overall 4. Parking during the day is something of a challenge. Try it you will like it! read more

Great coffee and amazing specialty toast. We had a rosemary salted cold foam and a maple latte that were excellent. It's so refreshing to get specialty coffee that are not overly sweet. We wanted a little snack and shared the seasonal toast. It was the perfect sweet/savory toast with pancetta, lemon ricotta , micro greens, butternut squash and balsamic drizzle on country bread. It was enough for two people and delicious. The courtyard is great with nice turf and a lot of shade. The courtyard is surrounded by a brewer, ice cream shop, more food and a vintage shop. Something for everyone. read more

I have been to RR three times. I am definitely a coffee consumer and enjoy visiting different coffee shops. The lattes are good; however, totally overpriced. I think the simple answer to this is location - coffee shops/eateries in the area can get away with charging more due to demographic and tourism. The customer service is ok, not wonderful, and kinda pretentious as another reviewer mentioned. Overall, going once is a nice experience for something a little different, coffee art, etc., although no latte is ever worth $7, especially when their $6-7 sizing is a medium or large at other shops. Yes, the economy has not been great and businesses have increased costs, still, the prices at RR are greedy in my opinion. To be fair, one or two other coffee shops nearby are overpriced as well and not necessarily exceptional. So yeah, it's a location thing as I see it, businesses taking advantage because they can, unfortunately. Compared to other nearby cities with cool coffee shops, good coffee, and fair pricing. read more

Nice, modern, bright and uplifting spot, perfect for coffee, lunch, or just to get some work done. They have a few seats inside with small tables for laptops, and a lot of large tables outside, and in the common area. Good coffee, but this time I tried the matcha green tea latte, which is great, not too sweet, and flavorful. Service here is friendly, and they try to be on the more environmentally friendly side. They have a parking lot that they share with the other cottages, but good luck! Fish and beer spot right next door. Ice cream joined, and a lunch place too, so a lot to do at the Roosevelt cottages. read more

We come here (or the Oceanside location) every weekend for our coffee and matcha fix. Lots of open seating and dog friendly. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. Their iced matcha latte is my favorite with their house almond milk. We also love the butterscotch latte too. They also have seasonal menus which is great! Their pastries are fresh and delicious! Revolution roasters is our favorite coffee spot read more

Great coffee, food, service and ambiance. It's all outdoor seating so dog friendly. It shares it's outdoors space with a couple of other businesses, like Stella Jeans (local, small batch ice cream shop). read more

This is such a cool spot in the village. Love being able to do work here and bring my dog. Great tea and coffee, I like when they have vegan sandwiches. My dog loves their treats . Love the industrial feel with the plants. Could do without the taxidermy but hey, I get the concept. Great staff and community. The owner is awesome and happy to support them. read more

I made a mistake and reviewed this location, confusing it with the Oceanside one. I went to this location and the coffee, toasts, and pastries were fantastic. Friendly staff, good vibes, and solid outdoor seating (with heaters). read more

Just as good as the Oceanside location. Adorable outdoor seating, fab seasonal menu, great gluten free and vegan options! read more

Best latte in town! As well as the best Matcha! My daughter and I go on coffee/matcha dates here every time she's in town.

I'm picky about my coffee and this did not disappoint. I really enjoyed it!! Wasn't bitter at all, and had a delicious bold flavor. The staff was not super welcoming but they all seemed like high schoolers and honestly their job is to make coffee not ask me what my social security number is, so I'm not holding it against them lol ps the shirt read cookies were to die for! Pss the look of the place was so cute and vibey-- I wanted allll the merch read more

My husband and I have been going to the original location in Oceanside since it opened and it's one of our favorite coffee shops. We regularly buy coffee bags to use at home for pour over and love their drinks and pastries. I'm so glad they've opened a second location and it's so adorable! It's located within The Cottages in Carlsbad; the other businesses there are The Plot Express, Stella Jean's Ice Cream, and Shoots Fish and Beer. This location is great with its own patio, plus a shared patio with the other businesses. It's a great spot to meet friends and is very kid-friendly. My toddler and I have visited a couple times already, and I've met a friend here for coffee. Revolution Roasters has the best pastries and I always look forward to seeing their new creations. They always have one or two gluten-free options that my husband and toddler enjoy, and they usually have a couple vegan options as well. They do fun seasonal drinks and offer a fun variety of tasty toasts. This is a wonderful addition to Carlsbad! read more

The coffee and muffin were delicious! We enjoyed our time out on the back patio, it is perfect for large group gatherings or just hanging with a friend. Very friendly staff, will definitely be back soon read more

Revolution Roasters - Vanilla latte with oat milk and GF cherry almond muffin - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Revolution Roasters is by far my favorite coffee shop. Their coffee is consistently excellent, and I sometimes switch things up with a vanilla almond milk matcha latte, which is always a treat. Their lunch menu and baked goods are OUT OF THIS WORLD good. One of my all-time favorites is the herb cream cheese with smoked salmon--it's absolutely delicious! Every time I've come here, I've never been disappointed. I've been a loyal customer for over five years and will definitely continue to be for many more! Highly recommended! read more

I am particular about my coffee and unwilling to settle. Revolution ticks all my boxes covering drinks, food, service, and even atmosphere; a rare find worth a special journey. read more

Awesome Americanos and friendly service. I've been underwhelmed by most of the local coffee in North County but Revolution is great!

We have been a patron of Revolution for awhile now and happy to have one in Carlsbad! Cute location at the Cottages Carlsbad. There's some competition, but Revolution is our favorite. read more

Good house coffee. Loved the homemade pop tart as well as the tomato burrata toast! Be prepared for lots of dogs. Fun outdoor seating!

the matcha didn't taste like matcha I knew by the color and when i tried it, tasted like milk and honey disappointed ruined my day I tossed it in the trash also very expensive lol read more

Enjoy coming here. The coffee is consistently good and has a cute vibe. The staff is also friendly.

I watched two people who ordered after me have their drinks made before mine, service was slow and no attempt from the workers to communicate why two people and their drinks were put ahead of me. And I did give them a tip when I ordered my drink..... but yet this happened. Coffee and ambiance are great and outdoor seating. read more

Wow. We came here in our last morning of vacation and we were so glad we did! The atmosphere is amazing, spacious, perfect for families, and such a fun vibe. The staff were so friendly! And the coffee was DELICIOUS! I got the campfire cold brew and will be dreaming of it forever :) read more

Unforgettable! The single cup of simple drip coffee had so much mind blowing aroma, that strongly considered getting back in the long line for another cup. If only I had more time and lived in Carlsbad! The avocado toast was a perfect complement. read more

Great coffee, good customer service, I love to come here and enjoy delicious coffee with friends or family.

Ordered a vanilla latte tasted more like a chai latte. It was supposed to be a hot beverage it was lukewarm had a croissant and it was OK.

Hands down the best pastry I have EVER had. Try the morning bun...it is ridiculously good!
