Revolution Roasters is hands down the best coffee shop around. The coffee is always top-notch--smooth, bold, and full of flavor without ever tasting burnt or bitter. You can tell they put real care into roasting and crafting every cup. The vibe inside is eclectic and welcoming, the kind of place you can sit and relax, catch up with a friend, or even get some work done. The staff are always friendly and make you feel like a regular, even if it's your first time in. Their pastries and toasts are also amazing--fresh, creative, and the perfect pairing with a latte. Revolution Roasters truly nails it every time, and it's become my go-to spot. Highly recommend! Some of my favorite things to order : ham and cheese croissant Iced vanilla latte with cinnamon and add cold foam Avocado toast Chipotle BLTA (seasonal) Anything in the pastry box Even when they change it up there's nothing that will miss ! read more

I tried matcha at 3 different places in Oceanside and this place was by far the best. I do a matcha americano over ice, no milk, unsweetened, so the matcha is important. This had a vibrant green color and tasted great. The food was also fantastic. We had coffee cake, a scone, a pop tart thing, and omg, the breakfast sandwich on focaccia (so good!) and the avocado toast with heirloom tomato on perfectly crunchy, chewy bread with the perfect amount of coarse salt. Their kitchen is killing it. Beautifully presented and delicious. The coffee is roasted a little light for our taste. Even with third wave sensibilities, just a little lean. Tried a dark roast PNG pour over, which I don't recommend. Their pour over game needs work. The grind was too course, the extraction too fast, and instead of a kettle for the proper temp they use the hot water from the brewer. Under extracted, not good. Barring the pour over there's a lot to like here. read more

I love this spot but their pastry cabinet has so many flies in there They need to do a better job at keeping it covered. I order food that's made fresh in the back to avoid the items they sell up front. Love their drinks and the vibe. read more

Hot Maple latte and Iced Butterscotch Latte both watered down. The Hot Maple Latte lacked in the taste department with the maple flavor. Barely a hint. Though the coffee wasn't bad like bitter, it just didn't have much impact on flavor. I loved the art foam design though. Neither did the Butterscotch Latte which tasted like a regular latte. Ambience was nice, staff was nice. read more

FKN WHOA. THOSE ARE SOME GOOD BEANS. (5 stars) I love love love local roasters. - DRINKS: really good - PRICE: fair - SERVICE: good - AMBIANCE: typical This coffee shop is known amongst Oceansiders and making a name for itself. First location is in South O and starting to branch downward. Lot of people traffic, handful of skillful and friendly baristas crafting clean foam art in timely fashion. When I had questions about the roasting and the beans and their blends, I believe I either talked to the owner or manager and kept me informed. There is a bean for everyone! Most places you see medium and dark roast. Well they have decaf, light, medium, medium/dark, and dark Decaf "Minus the Edge" - Columbia Light "Holy Goat" - Ethiopia Medium "La Amiga"- Columbia Medium/dark "Giant's Head"- didn't say but I assume part Columbia part Papa NG Dark "Night Shift" - Papa New Guinea (DECAF) VANILLA LATTE ($6) - #teamdecaf. You only know I take my decaf beans only if they are Swiss Water Processed (or mountain water processed). This is the go-to when you want to be basic. With whole milk, I like the fatty and creamy taste (I can't do that oat milk stuff). Took this hot as hot always allows me to sip and taste instead of quench thirst with bigger gulps. Their vanilla syrup is made in-house and uses real vanilla beans which is also visible in the drink. You can see the fresh vanilla bean specs in your drink. Omg leveling up! It's subtle where my drink doesn't taste full on vanilla. This allowed me to taste the flavor profile of their decaf beans without searching. The bean was very very very smooth and no tartness or acidity- as with most decaf. I immediately identified chocolate and had to take a few sips to taste a little bit of sweetness/fruity yet buttery aftertaste... like toasted marshmallow. Although warm outside, I enjoyed every warm sip on a warm day. HIGHLY RECOMMEND I've learned to identify this flavor because I love s'mores and burning the crap out of my marshmallows. That Maillard reaction is giving new flavors. When heat is applied to sugar, it breaks down to tinier molecules that react with each other and create new flavors that we tend to be drawn to without thinking about the why factor that flavor comes to existence from its source. Example, with toasted marshmallows it gives fruity, nutty, and buttery. I am OK driving all the way up this far north to the most northern north county area to enjoy my sips. Keep it special! JABA APPROVED. Until the next review... read more

Solid spot with a cool, open vibe and great service. We ordered the Raspberry Matchas, the Avocado and Tomato Toast, and the Tomato and Burrata Toast to go. The matcha was smooth and well-balanced, not too sweet or earthy. I originally ordered the Avocado and Tomato Toast but was given the one with pickled onions instead. I should've double-checked the order before leaving, but it's worth mentioning since that mix-up is why it's four stars instead of five. That said, the pickled onion version was surprisingly good and I ended up enjoying it. The Tomato and Burrata Toast was okay, but probably not something I'd get again. Overall, good drinks, solid food, and a spot I'd definitely come back to. read more

one of my new favorite coffee shops in oceanside! i was visiting family here and had to take a quick meeting call and stop somewhere near by and revo roasters was the one i picked. their pastries are house made and their coffee is roasted in house. it's delicious and worth coming here. you can work in this coffee shop, however i do not recommend it to take meetings etc. as it's quite busy and loud! noise cancelling headphones are helpful for concentration. there's street parking available. i am looking forward to my next visit. read more

Update as on Feb 2024 - turns out they just opened a second location in Carlsbad, just a 5 minute drive from this one. The place also looks nice so we'd have to come back to try it next time! I just like the Encinitas location better for the more open-air vibes. We came back here and realized it's one of my most favorite coffee shops in San Diego now. You don't really find a lot of cafes in town that: does amazing coffee, bake their goods in house, has an amazing kitchen menu, and has their own roastery and sell coffee bean bags. I also also love their branding which is very important to establish a business, IMO. We got one of their seasonal pop tarts this time and another one of the morning buns. I also got their seasonal orange creamsicle vanilla latte before it ends on Mar 1st. Sadly, the drink didn't taste anything like orange creamsicle. I think they just need to improve on the flavor a little bit but it was still a good vanilla latte nonetheless. read more

best cafe in all of oceanside!!!! food and pastries are amazing and very fresh- lox toast is a must try. matcha is okay but prefer their coffee! vibe inside is great and staff is very friendly read more

Good drinks and great pastries! I'm a pastry snob, all baked goods really, and this is one of few places that I will regularly purchase from. The ham & cheese croissant is incredible. The drinks are good, albeit small and a little on the high side price wise. I really like the more ~experimental~ drinks they have and appreciate they think outside the box. read more

As a coffee snob, I think this is the best coffee and coffeehouse in the area. I love the vibe, and have spend many mornings here on my laptop just breathing in the authentic local scene. The drip coffee is excellent, and have purchased several pounds of their grind. But I gotta give it up for their baked goods--absolutely irresistible! The morning bun was just sticky, gooey fun, and was delightful. Haven't had one dry pastry there. And their avocado toast is amazing: thin, crispy, with perfect avo, heirloom tomatoes, and coarse salt. read more

Five stars all the way!!! First time at this place and it didn't not disappoint. I got the hot latte with oat milk and my wife got the iced latte with oat milk. We throughly enjoyed it. The proportion was perfect. It was strong but not bitter and the oat milk had a hint of sweetness. Our barista was friendly and made us feel welcomed. There were plenty of seating inside and outside but since it's a popular spot, it is pretty filled up. Fortunately, we found a spot for us (there were 3 of us). Note: There are other businesses that have tables and chairs outside so I'm not sure what the proper etiquette is regarding patronizing an establishment but sitting at another. I personally wouldn't do it, but that's just me. Highly recommend this place. read more

It's got a local vibe, with plenty of table space, outlets, and wifi if you need to get some work done. There's also a cute front patio if you want to enjoy your coffee outside. The food menu is on the smaller side, but the toast options look super tasty (just note, the kitchen closes at 2pm). The service is quick and super friendly, adding to the laid-back surfer vibe that's central to Oceanside. (Caveat: it can get pretty packed in the mornings and around noon). Definitely a great spot to relax, sip coffee, and take in the chill atmosphere. Right next door there are some cool shops as well if you want to take your coffee to go! read more

It's always a pleasure to visit a coffee shop where the baristas are genuinely passionate about their craft. Their curiosity about new arrivals not only enhances their expertise but also allows them to provide thoughtful recommendations. (Kyle was that wonderful barista who takes pride in what he does) The $7 limited-release Ethiopian pour-over was exceptional--smooth, aromatic, and brewed to perfection. I sincerely hope this establishment continues its dedication to quality and service. Outstanding beans, skillfully brewed with warm hospitality, make for an unparalleled coffee experience. read more

I was very excited to try the matcha here because of all the reviews. Unfortunately I was disappointed by the matcha. There was no flavor and it tasted like pure milk. I asked for extra sweet, and it still didn't taste like anything. I like my matcha to be strong in taste, but also sweet. I thought by the color it would be good, but i got fooled ): Definitely have had better matcha elsewhere. read more

Good coffee and ambiance. We came on a Saturday around noon and there was a line out the door but it moved quickly. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. We got a cappuccino and the coffee soda (espresso over sparkling water and sweetened). Cappuccino was well made. The coffee soda was interesting but about what you'd expect from the description. I think it could have used some kind of creamer personally to make the drink smoother and a little more interesting. Our friends gor the iced mint matcha (seasonal) and the iced mocha. The matcha was apparently very mint forward which they loved. One thing that left a sour taste. My friend was waiting at the bar for his drink and the barista had put a drink out but didn't say a name. He went up to ask about it and was given a very snarky response for no reason. So friendlier barista interactions would be appreciated. read more

Super friendly, delicious lattes. Came here twice during our summer vacation from phoenix to Carlsbad

Excellent vanilla latte with house made vanilla syrup. Best coffee we've had in Oceanside.

I love this new location. Its a great spot for kids as there is open/shared seating with other nearby food joints and an ice cream spot. Service is always friendly and bathrooms are clean. The coffee itself is always delicious and the pastries...could have their own review. I have yet to find comparable pastries even at any bakery in North County San Diego. They are the most delicious, baked fresh, mouth watering, easy to devour delicacies. Worth every bite. read more

Great quality coffee! Always consistent, love that it's walkable. Can get busy sometimes but line moves fast. Small shop but very cute and functional with plenty of seating/ working space. I love their cowboy cookie and get it often and especially love their seasonal lattes. read more

nice ladies and cool spot! the coffee... ehhhhh. got a butterscotch latte (i feel it would've been better hot given it's consistency) and a coconut latte. both were not great. couldn't taste the coconut, a little too milky, and a little too strong.. so i asked if they could please add vanilla to it, which made the coconut one better! at that point it was sort of a vanilla latte. I'd say the vanilla was good and the monkey bread was good. overall i give the place and workers 6/10 coffee 1/10. read more

Delicious! We stumbled upon this place on Yelp and tried out the butterscotch latte, matcha mint latte, and flat white and everyone loved their drinks. The price is pretty average for a coffee shop and the parking was fairly easy - you can park either on the street or there's a small parking lot on the side of the shop. It looked like a lot of people were able to comfortably study here too which is always a plus and the bathrooms were super clean! read more

That cheese and ham croissant is not to miss, one of the best I've tasted with good butter

We were driving home early and needed some coffee and a snack. We looked into Yelp for a little guidance. We decided on Revolution Roasters. As we drove closer to our destination, we quickly realized parking was going to be an issue. Street parking on a Saturday morning would be crazy waiting. We decided to park in the residential area a block away. When you walk up to the door, there's a life size menu on the wall. We checked out the menu and gazed at all the fresh bakeries. Once we decided what to get, we got in line. Don't let the long line scare you. It moves quickly. We ordered the Ham & Cheese Croissants, the Cowboy Cookie, Pumpkin Muffin, the Avo & Tomato Toast, and their seasonal Apple Fritter donut like were killer!!! We actually went back in line to order more because it was that delicious!! The Avo & Tomato toast was outstanding!! The tomatoes tasted like it was home grown!! It was FABULOUS!! Overall, everyone working were very helpful and full of energy with big smiles. Very hip decor, great vibe, and clean. Was it pricey??? Yessss, it was. However, it's quality ingredients made with love. Yep, I'll be back soon!!! read more

Got my morning started with Revolution Roasters! They had interesting and unique drinks that sparked our interest, especially the fall ones. I'm not a fan of pumpkin spice, and Revolution's fall menu didn't include any of that. We opted for 2/3 fall items which were the Maple Latte and Salted Rosemary Cold Foam. While the maple latte didn't taste like maple syrup, the rosemary coffee really took us by surprise. The cold foam is delicious on top and has a flavor of brown butter! Definitely fall notes from this coffee. I didn't get to try a pastry although they looked heavenly and already had breakfast from another place. I'd truly recommend it here for nice quality coffee with uniquely crafted drinks! read more

Yep, this place is a real gem! I would give this place 10 stars if I could. We arrived at 10:30am on Thanksgiving morning after running the Oceanside turkey trot and the place was PACKED!! Ambiance (10/5!). The place was packed, a very young crowd (mostly 20's) pretty sweet vibe : ) Coffee (11/5!). I got a maple iced latte and I loved it--very sweet, which is how I like it. Really rich maple flavor. My wife got the butterscotch pour over and she really enjoyed it too. I would go out of my way to come here again if I'm ever in Oceanside. Highly recommended. read more

Revolution Roasters is such a cute coffee spot! I came here around 10:45 am on a Friday and was lucky to find a parking spot in the little lot alongside the building. All the seats were taken indoors as I came here to get some work done on my laptop. I ordered a matcha latte with oat milk and the person the rand me up was super nice and had a great attitude! While my drink was being made, I went to their restroom and oh my goodness I couldn't get over how cute the bathroom was that I had to take photos! Once I got my drink, I found a spot outside and although I wasn't able to charge any of my electronics, the yummy matcha latte made up for it. It wasn't too sweet or bitter. I sat on the table in front of the window of the shop and it had sun and shade so it's perfect for people who like it warm or cool while enjoying their drink or food here which next time I'll come prepared with more of an appetite. read more

Butterscotch Latte, 4/5 - Flavor: The butterscotch flavor is prominent but not overpowering, perfectly complementing the robustness of the coffee. It offers a smooth, velvety taste that is both comforting and indulgent. Enjoy this butterscotch coffee as a cozy morning treat or a sweet afternoon pick-me-up. It's a delightful experience that's sure to please both coffee lovers and those with a sweet tooth. This would have had more stars had the front of house/barista would've have been less rude. I ordered a mushroom melt from their "Seasonal Offerings" menu. On paper it looked great - Mushrooms, truffle, ARUGULA, etc. As the staff member served this to us I opened up the box with much dismay. Pictured here. Looks unappetizing, doesn't it? My gf and I were deep in conversation when I finally realized something was missing. The arugula! I had brought it up to the front of staff member, (shorted haired brunette, few tattoos on the right arm) and let her know this wasn't the sandwich they had advertised. To which she *kanye shrugged* and asked, "Well, do you still want it?" Lol, if you paid for a car wash and all I gave you was soap...would you still want the wash? Ridiculous. read more

Had an excellent visit this morning! Staff members were all friendly and despite a long line, they moved very quickly. I ordered an iced matcha latte with oat milk and house made vanilla bean syrup. 4/5 stars because my order was a total of $7.75. I'm from LA so I'm used to pricier drinks, but $1.00 surcharge for plant milk and $1.00 surcharge for syrups feels like a bit much. Will come again when I'm in the area! read more

I stopped in Oceanside for some breakfast, and this coffee shop was half a block away so I decided before I hit the road again I'll grab latte. I am so glad I did great coffee, I got a butterscotch latte and it was really good, not too sweet and the butterscotch really compliments the coffee. Great service, and my latte was almost before I was done ordering. The place is very nice and clean with plenty of seating. Definitely check this place out! read more
