Had to come checkout the coffee flights here at this spot. The barista was super friendly and made it a fun experience. The theme was Valentine's Day special can't wait to return to try the March flavors . The shop was very festive inside as well. Parking is tricky you can park on ally or on the street if you want to stay a bit. Definitely looking forward to returning soon . read more

Ryan Bros Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Marcos, California

See all

This location stops offering service ahead of closing time. We asked for a couple of plates and were told no--that kitchen was closing in one hour. Twenty minutes before closing, they start cleaning the restroom and you cannot use it. Then, 15 minutes before closing, they lock you out onto the patio. It's clear these people want to leave as soon as it's 5pm. Aside from that, the girl working the counter is very abrupt in her responses. Coffee is good but customer service is very poor. If you like Ryan Bros coffee AND want great service, go to the Barrio Logan location. read more

Cutesy, can get quite busy and the indoor seating is rather awkward. Coffee house vibes, the sandwiches aren't half bad though I only stick to one so can't speak on the majority of the food. Dog friendly, have plenty of outdoor seating for you and the pet. read more

Customer service is so bright and friendly here! They help you decide on what you should get. I love the outdoor seating here as well. I got the salted caramel white chocolate mocha latte iced and the cowboy sandwich on everything. The sandwich was amazing, pretty big so I ate half and then the other half later. The drink was okay, not well mixed or too much powder or something. read more

Ryan Bros Coffee - Cowboy sandwich in everything bagel - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Marcos, California

Great place to sit and work or chitchat. Ambiance/ seating area/ general vibe is a 5/5! The baristas are always very nice. I would put the drinks themselves at 3/5, as I find that they rely heavily and the milk and sugar to make a "good" drink. I usually enjoy a simple coffee but here I am not the biggest fan. read more

Somehow they seem to always give me my coffee messy. What I mean by that is it's dripping on the sides, under the lid, etc. I have to wipe it myself so it doesn't get all over me or my car. Still a fave coffee spot but why is it served that way. read more

I was in the area and desperately needed some coffee. Ordered an iced latte and unfortunately it was disappointing. The drink was mostly milk with a hint of burnt bean taste. I tossed it after a sip. What a waste. read more

Coffey at Ryan's is always delicious. Fast and easy to order. My lemon muffin makes it a good mix. This place is always busy but fast service. Great for studying or reading. I enjoy coming here and drinking my coffee whenever I have free time. read more

Ryan Bros Coffee - Ryan's Bash hot latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Marcos, California

RYAN BROS COFFEE, SAN MARCOS. My iced salted white caramel latte with coconut milk hit the spot on this gorgeous sunny Thursday and the vibe was so right for a lunchtime chat. We sat on the covered patio where there are plenty of tables of varying sizes with individual seats as well as benches with backs, a few seat cushions could be found. We were greeted with a warm smile and drinks were brought to us out on the patio in a timely yet comfortable timeframe. I loved everything about my experience today and will definitely be back! read more

Great customer service, however, we asked for cold brew with a slash of cream and it seems like 50% creamer 50% coffee. Not impressed read more

Ryan Bros Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Marcos, California

Ryan Bros is a great place to grab a coffee or lunch. I like the espresso shots the most. Great sandwiches; my favorite are the TBA and Classic. The staff is friendly and attentive. It's also a great place to get some work done, either inside or on the larg patio. read more

Ryan Bros Coffee - Shots and cream over ice - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Marcos, California

The coffee and food overall tasted great. The have a few seats inside and outside. Staff were nice and the place was clean. Only reason I took down a star is because the sandwich is smaller than other places I've had turkey avocado blts at and because there weren't a lot of coffee options. I would return again. It was helpful to eat here before a workout, work on stuff and then go to the LA Fitness next door :) read more

Ryan Bros Coffee - Tab sandwich + latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Marcos, California

The baristas were so kind. I got a Blended Dirty Chai and the Cowboy sandwich on an everything bagel And both were 10 out of 10! I did split the bagel with my mom because, personally, it was a lot of food. The aioli had a good kick, so if you're not a fan of spice, you won't be a fan of the sandwich (or maybe ask for less aioli). The blended dirty chai was great, I got it with whipped cream (obviously). It was sweet, but also bitter. The prices aren't too bad either (for a SoCal coffee shop) Cozy ambiance, chill music, good lighting. A couple seating arrangement options. There's a bathroom open to customers. Super cute meet up spot :) 10/10 recommend read more

Ryan Bros Coffee - so yummy this is the Cowboy bagel sandwich and White Hazelnut Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Marcos, California

A friend wanted to stop in and get coffee. I came in to see if they had matcha. They did! But then I saw the menu. I chose the orange rooibos latte with oatmilk and I wasn't disappointed. The staff was friendly and the service was quick. I accidentally spoke too loudly on the phone with a friend who called and immediately felt the cafe was more of a quiet place. No one was rude or said anything out of the way. When I came back in, I remembered. Try them out. I enjoyed what I tried. read more

Ryan Bros Coffee - Mango mirage latte with oatmilk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Marcos, California

I picked this place because of the art in the pictures and I was researching black owned coffee places in the area. After some research it is not black owned BUT they are a part of community outreach programs and to me that's amazing as well. As far as coffee goes these espresso shots are very smooth! The drink was made the exactly way I ordered it. My drink is very specific- 4 shots of espresso with very light oat milk & one pump of vanilla. The barista didn't flinch- she smiled and took my order. Which I was very thankful for. Secondly, I ordered a TBA- breakfast sandwich turkey bacon and avocado with so much more. Lastly they do have different specialty drinks that looked great- I am just not a sweet coffee person. Overall- service was great, atmosphere definitely able to get work done, great seating. Seating that is size inclusive(plus size comfy), and good breakfast food. read more

My fave place in San Marcos. Great atmosphere, coffees and treats. Met my sweet friend here and found a great spot to chat on that warm day outside under the cool awning. Thank you always for your delicious drinks Ryan Bros!! read more

I was excited to try a new coffee place today. I walked in and took a look at the menu. Then I approached the front counter for someone to take my order. A girl with red braids took my order, but was not friendly and did not greet or anything. She could be a little bit nicer and seemed a bit irritated doing her job. I ordered a sandwich and a latte. I got my sandwich pretty quickly however I waited patiently 15 minutes for my latte which I went to go ask for and apparently it didn't come up but the girl taking my order seemed very careless and I think that's why it didn't come up. Overall, the place was okay and the coffee was good. However, I think the staff could improve their customer service by being more attentive, welcoming, and friendly to customers. read more

Great drinks, deliciously decadent chocolate chip cookies and other treats, good breakfast sandwiches and a nice outdoor area for hanging out. Good prices too! read more

Had the snikerdoodle and the milky way mocha not overly sweet. The flavors were amazing. Also had the south of the border and the TBA and they were both amazing ! Nothing disappointed. read more

I came here for coffee and ended up getting that, along with a sandwich. The female employees were so nice and the coffee and food were delicious! The best part, the VIBES. They have inside seating that gets full QUICK, but luckily they still had some seats outside in a covered patio, and the breeze coming through made it so relaxing. I will definitely be back! read more

While I really enjoyed my BEC bagel sandwich, I didn't particularly enjoy the coffee. The bagel sandwich I give a 10/10. Coffee is okay, nothing a coffee snob would like. Sweet tasting burnt coffee, similar to Peet's, coffee bean, etc. fine if you're into that kind of coffee. I loved the searing options and ability to get work done at the shop. I will definitely be coming back for food and tea, not coffee. read more

Ryan Bros Coffee - Bagel - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Marcos, California

I think it might just be this location but it's just an incredibly standard coffee shop. I don't think the coffee is insanely high quality or incredibly well made it's just coffee. I do appreciate the seasonal drink rotation! I brought a friend that is a trained barista for years and they agreed with me that it's really JUST a coffee shop. If you're in a rush and this is convenient for you I think it's fine, but I don't think it's anything extraordinary read more

Ryan Bros Coffee - Americano and holiday drink - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Marcos, California

Might seem like a small thing, but having free (and organic!) menstrual products in the bathroom literally saved my life today! Staff is always so nice, they gave me a free extra shot when my latte was a little too sweet for my taste. read more

First time coming here last week. Tried the Iced Vanilla Honey Latte. Didn't want it too sweet so barista made it 3/4 sweet. It was DELICIOUS. Also had a chocolate chip cookie, chocolate muffin, and blueberry muffin. All were good and devoured. Reasonably priced too- all of the above at $17 and some change. Inside is clean and so is the bathroom. Love the outside patio area too. Will come back! read more

First time visiting Ryan Bros in San Marcos. A cozy spot with various selection of drinks, food, and baked treats. I ordered a breakfast sandwich, latte, and baked treat (freshly made in house), and it was worth it. Ample parking, great location, easy to find off the freeway. Would definitely visit again! read more

The customer service fell very flat and wasn't necessarily the best but that didn't really ruin the experience. The shop itself is nice but I don't know how people are working or studying when it's so loud in there. The worst part was the drinks my friend got a chai that was literally nothing but milk with a hint of cinnamon, very disappointing. I got the coconut caramel latte and the flavors weren't bad but the oat milk is horrendous. I know it's not their fault but it was hard to get past especially since i paid and extra .75 cents. Lastly my other friends coffee lacked flavor and was just really milky. Disappointed we didn't get the amazing experience everyone else had. read more

Vanilla honey latte hot half sweet $6.50 - service and ambiance ok - parked in front.

"Live is too short to be bitter." I love this quote above their entrance! Ryan Bros Coffee serves up a delicious blueberry muffin that is packed with blueberries and is sure to satisfy any blueberry muffin lover. They also offer a variety of other sweets and sandwiches. The Americano is smooth and rich, and the ambience is chill. The baristas are friendly and have great attitudes. I'll have to come back to try their sandwiches!:) read more

Beans were not great, honey latte was almost all milk, could barely taste the espresso. And the honey tasted like a honey syrup, not good. Also, the service was a little underwhelming read more

Honestly I really love this spot as it's so close to my house. It's a great location, and it has a cute patio to sit down and study or chat with a friend. HOWEVER, the coffee just has not tasted the same the last 3 times for me that I've gone. Sometimes I question whether there's espresso in my mocha, it's not very strong and not consistent in flavor when I've gone; sweetness and coffee flavor. I used to be obsessed, not not so much. read more

One of my favorite spots near San Marcos! The staff is always lovely and the tunes are always perfect for the study or chat vibes. It's a smaller study space inside, but there's a bigger seating area outside that has comfy cushions / picnic tables. The outdoors spot is covered! Price wise not bad at all and their pastries are delightful. There is Wifi available and a one stall bathroom. The later hours are great for evening studying! The tables facing the window are great to watch the sun set between some buildings haha read more

Ryan Bros Coffee - South of the Border - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Marcos, California

First time here, and let me just say, it's awesome! I ordered the TBA, on an everything bagel, with an iced coffee and a cinnamon coffee cake. Everything was delicious, and there was a lot of outdoor seating. Service was on point and they were very kind. Highly recommend and I will be back! read more

Foods great and so is the coffee. Nice atmosphere love to go there to study and chat with friends!

Just walked in at 9 AM to grab a coffee and sandwich, and I was informed that they are not taking walk-in orders. They had a large Costco order, and have prioritize that over walk-ins. Absolutely ridiculous to not take walk-in customers at a coffee shop. read more

Ryan Bros Coffee - Iced latte, farmer on plain bagel - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Marcos, California

Ryan Brothers is a nice enough spot and the staff is friendly and solicitous. Unfortunately, on the rare occasions I've been here, I've been consistently disappointed. The problems seem to be two-fold. First, the quality of the coffee itself is mediocre. The taste suggests cracked, unevenly sized beans haphazardly roasted. Someone is phoning it in on this score. Second, the baristas' skills are not optimal. They somehow manage to get espresso drinks to taste like they were made with the percolated stuff my mom used to drink when I was a boy. If I'm recommending the nearby Starbucks over Ryan Brothers, that should tell you something. Really hoped for something more. read more
