Loved the coffee and service! Cute little store but was sad the kitchen closed early. They looked like they had a good food menu too

Grab and go pastries and coffee. Theres also avocado toast and other items that you can order and they bring to your table. You find your own seating which is shared with 3 other places. read more

tried the seasonal latte, a coconut latte. I got mine iced, so so so so good. I don't even like coconut typically but this was perfect. Not too sweet and such complimentary flavors. The poptarts are also a must try for everyone. The Peachy Lychee was amazing. Service is always great, and people are so kind. It does get very busy weekend mornings so make sure to try to get their a bit early to avoid a line and enjoy one of their tables in the sun! read more

I saw a video featuring Revolution Roasters on Instagram. We went to try their fall menu drinks. My sister and I got the Salted Rosemary Cold Foam and her husband got the chai latte. The service was friendly and quick especially since there was a line to get in. The seating is limited inside but there is ample seating outside. The ambiance is busy and somewhat noisy. I wouldn't come here to read a book but it's great to meet with friends. There were several bakery treats available for purchase. I love the creativeness of the drink menu. A must try if you're in the Carlsbad area. read more

Wonderful pre-thanksgiving chai tea latte! Early morning line was calm and moved quickly. Baked goods and sandwiches looked delicious! Ambiance was clean and retail goods were placed nicely. I enjoyed seeing every age group from kiddos to adults enjoying something sweet or savory. Staff was friendly! read more

I have frequented Revolution Roasters on numerous occasions and have been very happy with the food and service (super nice and helpful staff). Today was an exception and it will be a while before I return, if I do. I ordered a not-too-sweet mocha and found it much too sweet when I tasted it. I politely asked if a little extra milk could be added to balance it out, but was told "that is the amount of milk that comes with the drink, it will be $1.00 if you'd like more milk". I was surprised by the lack of flexibility, especially after paying $6 for a 12 oz drink. Clearly, my satisfaction didn't matter. A small gesture could've completely diffused the situation and left them with a satisfied customer. read more

Coffee was ok. Got the butterscotch, there was like no butterscotch. The avocado and pickled union toast was good. The bread was the perfect crisp. Could have used more avocado too. The setting is cute where you can sit and hangout for a while. read more

Such a cute coffee shop located in downtown Carlsbad! It's located near Stella Jean's, so it's perfect if you want ice cream or pie as well. The raspberry matcha was good if you like raspberry, but it was difficult for me to assess the matcha flavor since I got the cream top as well. Overall, sweet but delicious-- I'd say it's a great dessert drink! read more

Really wanted to love this place, but it missed the mark for me. Maybe they were just having an off day, but the matcha latte was not blended at all. I was getting matcha chunks through the straw, which was a big bummer and not very appetizing. It did taste good, but not a super strong matcha flavor compared to other places. I would not get it again, maybe their coffee is better! I also got the avocado toast with heirloom tomatoes. I was really disappointed with the amount of avocado on the toast, it's like they used a mini avocado! The seasoning had a really good flavor and overall I enjoyed the toast, just wish they hadn't skimped so much on the avocado. It was super cute inside and they have good outdoor seating. Service was also very friendly. read more

My bf and I ordered a raspberry matcha and it honestly was the worst matcha I've had we threw them out immediately because it felt like we were drinking raspberry milk :/ read more

The lattes are delicious, got a maple latte and it was a subtle flavor. The espresso was very mellow and not bitter. The vegan lemon berry pop tart was delicious. Best pastry around. The line was very long but we took that as a good sign for our first visit. It moved fast and the service was quick. Lots of outdoor seating, loved the beach, outdoor vibe. read more

Omg. What a great spot! They have such a cute dog-friendly outside area to enjoy the goods, perfect for a slow morning! They don't have a kids menu, so expect adult prices and adult portions for you little ones. My latte was perfection; the food was super as well. Everything we got was fresh and natural tasting, we enjoyed everything so much! The staff was inviting. read more

I'll start with the negative , I've had coffee from here 4 times and unfortunately it is the most SOUR tasting coffee. First sip or two are good when it's hot but after about the third or fourth sip it is just extremely sour and off-putting. Not enjoyable. Not sure why? Maybe it's the roast maybe it's stale beans of incorrect grind. Anyway here is the good, the cookies and pastries are amazing. Specially the shortbread cookie yummm, whichkeeps me coming back. The service is good and friendly. Then the outdoor setting and the shared experience is very enjoyable with benches tables and trees for shade shade. Lots of families with little children little puppies and laptop remote workers. Unfortunately they do not accept cash and do not offer any real mugs only Togo paper products. Please improve the brew read more

First time at Revolution Roasters here in Carlsbad. I usually visit the Oceanside location that is not too far. My usual order is an Iced Butterscotch latte. It has never failed me these last couple of years. I was disappointed this recent visit I had. While I was getting a massage not too far, my wife order 2 Iced Butterscotch Latte's w/ Breve. There was a line so it took a bit. By the time I was done with my massage my wife had just gotten our lattes. As soon as I looked into my cup, I saw so many little clumps. I immediately thought oh the half and half must be spoiled. With my wife being 8 months pregnant we didn't want to risk her drinking it. I went back to the barista counter and let them know that I think the breve was spoiled. They then asked me what drink it was, and mentioned the it's the butter separating. I can see/understand that, but I think it got into my head that it wasn't a good latte that I decided just not to drink it. I've order a butterscotch latte before and have never had the butter separate. This one must have been an off batch unfortunately. read more

Yum!! Ambiance = Hip and fun! Service = Fast and efficient Food = Delicious and consistent Facilities = Could be a little cleaner - people are gross and don't clean up after themselves - such quick turn-over Location = On Roosevelt in the heart of downtown Carlsbad, easy parking read more

Meh. I want to like this place but the coffee never passes for me. It's just ok but not top notch. It consistently makes my stomach hurt and I just do not feel well after drinking it. Over roasted and then becomes acidic/sour. Also likely moldy coffee beans being used. I am going to say no to RR in the future. We tried many many times but now I am over it. Not worth it for me. read more

Legit spot for bakery and coffee. A place we keep going back to. They are super efficient even when there's very long lines, staff is super friendly and there's always space to sit. Lots of families with kids and dogs and make this place entertaining! read more

Went here two days in a row as it's our friends favorite coffee shop. The first day, my boyfriend got one of the seasonal iced lattes, which we thought was really delicious. It had really great flavor and wasn't overly sweet. The second day I got the vanilla latte which I liked, but honestly didn't love and probably would not go back for it. Didn't think it had all that much flavor and was missing the creamy and sweet flavor I was hoping for. My boyfriend got the hot pumpkin spiced latte and really liked it. I think this is one of the places where there's kind of hit or miss drinks and you have to figure out which ones are your preference. read more

Such a cute little coffee shop in the Carlsbad village! There is plenty of seating in the area which is nice to enjoy some coffee or tea with friends. Very dog friendly area as well. I got a tropical ice tea which was really good and my friend got the salted rosemary cold foam which was good too! I def want to go back and try more of the food options and other drinks. read more

I tried the matcha here and it was about what you'd expect -- a bit overpriced, but made with decent quality powder. I added the honeycomb foam on top, though I couldn't really taste much honey. That said, it was still good overall. I also appreciated that it wasn't overly sweetened, which let the natural flavors of the matcha shine through. Didn't get any pastries but they looked amazing. read more

love this place! I love their Ethiopian beans. Really great flavor and value. I don't get the pastries much, but they are uncommonly good! Especially the craft made "pop tarts". The Oceanside location opens at 6am for early risers. Staff are always friendly. thanks guys! read more

I had an excellent experience at Revolution Roasters in Carlsbad. The coffee was top-notch, and I really loved the vibe of the place--while it was pretty small, it felt welcoming and laid-back. The quick service was a pleasant surprise, too. This location's café is tucked away in this awesome little small business plaza, which adds to its charm. I tried their pumpkin spice latte, and honestly, it should be a year-round item in my opinion; it was that good! Can't wait to go back and try more of their stuff (if I can resist ordering the PSL again). read more

I've tried O'side location few times and my husband went to Carlsbad location this morning. He brought back Matcha latte and Blueberry Lemon Coffee Cake for me. They both are so gooood!

This coffee is horrible. They don't accept cash and their coffee tastes like acid rain. Maybe try actually roasting the coffee?? Also, they only do disposable cups. Beachside Cafe, creating waste. How environmentally friendly. read more

When a place just gets it. No over explaining.., no.. having to give an overly detailed review... these people KNoW how to make an iced matcha latte with lite ice & lite sugar ( simple syrup ... no agave ). Whatever they put into the ticket for the barista ... she got it right. Boom. These are my kind of peeps. read more

Love this little coffeeshop; I feel the espresso hits right every time I come here. Not to mention; the little plaza/community gathering area/outdoor space it has is perfect for those of us with little ones who want to run around. Despite the ample offerings of toast, fancy drinks, etc...I'm a black coffee man at heart and last time I came here I enjoyed an espresso; they served it with some mineral water, which was perfect and traditional. Do I wish they had pasticottos from Italy here? Yes. Will they try to carry them after they read my review? I hope so. read more

Located in OCN off S Coast highway. They sell various coffee (Holy goat, night shift, minus the edge which is decaf, etc.). I like the various and deep flavors of their coffee. I ordered their butterscotch and lavendar honey lattee...YUM! THeir house made pastries look so delicious. I will get it next time I visit. Lots of open space inside and a cool place to relax and unwind. There's also a shop for merchandise (totes, kid's tee, adut tees, various mugs). Cons: kinda pricey and slight parking situation Still overall a good experience! read more

Finally made my way over to Revolution Roasters to try their raspberry matcha. I'm a big matcha girl and was super excited to try this and was unfortunately pretty disappointed with it. At first they made it incorrectly, I ordered mine with oat milk and watched them make one with whole milk thinking it wasn't mine, it was. No biggie they just remade it with oat milk. But the taste was not what I was expecting. I was hoping for a sweeter taste from the raspberry but it was more sour than anything, no sweetness at all. I almost threw it away but decided to add my zero sugar sweet cream I had at home to it and that made it 100 times better. I'm not sure if that's how it was supposed to taste but definitely missed the mark for me. The vibes and aesthetic are super cute though, maybe I'll give it another try since I live right up the street from it. read more

Came here on a Sunday morning to get a latte, this was my first time here as I was just visiting this area of California for the weekend, and this place came recommended. It's in a great location, and the inside was cute. Also had plenty of outdoor seating. I ordered a hot chai latte with lavender honey syrup. I thought the chai was on the earthy side, could definitely taste the spices in there, and they kind of overpowered the lavender syrup, I couldn't taste it that much. I do love the fact that they make their own milks in house. I did try a pink lemonade pop tart and it was good. I would definitely come back and try other drinks + food next time I'm in town! read more

Great location with such a nice "yard" to hang out and eat in. Delicious food options with quality coffee to match. Plenty of public parking in adjacent lots. My oat milk latte was delicious. I would only ask that they make larger sizes available. read more

Lady taking my order had an attitude, told her I wanted light ice and ordered a lavender cream matcha. They didn't give me a receipt till I asked later for one when I noticed the extra charge on my bank account, when I received it I noticed that they charged us all extra for light ice, which no one even mentioned, explaining the extra charge on my card. The matcha was bland and the foam tasted like spices. The shop itself has a cool ambiance but the service and everything else was pretty bad. read more

Go to coffee for locally sourced. Night Shift - Dark Roasted is excellent. Butterscotch Latte is a fave! Breakfasts and baked goods for the win! Typically a long line on weekends so that tells you something about demand. Always such nice human beings behind the counter. Big fan! read more

Cutest little coffee shop tucked away in the Cottages. The drink selection is a great mix of classics and more unique options. My friend ordered the Matcha Strawberry Latte and I got a Honey Lavender Latte. I also drooled over their baked goods, both sweet and savory (though I did not have a chance to try any). There were items like leek & mushroom pastries, homemade strawberry poptarts, etc. Service was excellent, the cashier was super sweet and wrote "Happy Bach!" for my friend's receipt when we shared that it was her bachelorette weekend. She was also great at introducing their menu and helping us with our drink options. The barista made everything beautifully (as you can see in the picture), and both drinks were DELISH. Will definitely make Revolution Roasters a go-to coffee stop whenever I'm back in Carlsbad! read more

Heard great things about this place so wanted to try it. I came on a weekday and there was no line but I was in a rush and didn't order. I came back on a weekend and it took 10-15 minutes to order and another 15 minutes to get my drink. Don't think I'll return on a weekend again. I tried their decaf espresso drink and it wasn't that great. Maybe it's the regular milk brand they use. I will return again and give them one more chance. read more
