While I waited for my order, I went next-door to See's candy. I was craving fudge. I returned about 2 to 3 minutes after my order and my order was ready. The service was great... It was fast and the lady was really friendly. Inside it's very dark & moody vibes, still good natural light where you can work and study from. I just wish they brought back the Turon crème brûlée latte.

Went here on a Friday morning at 10am. Out of 7 drinks I wanted to try, they were out of all but…read moreone of the drinks. The overall experience (staff, variety/availability, drink quality) was incredibly disappointing because I hear great things about this place. There were quite a bit of people in there, so I'm sure it's great at times. Settling for the Vietnamese Iced Coffee as 1 of our 2 drinks, sadly it was mostly ice. The drink was done in a few sips. It felt like the cup was filled with ice and then put the coffee in. Don't get me wrong, the drink was good and the coffee was strong. The other drink was the Creme Brulee Latte. If you like the sugar un-bruleed, this is the drink for you. I saw the top was torched for a few seconds, but the drink was still in the tiny sugar crystals. The coffee part is also nice and strong, though the drink is not as sweet as it sounds. Overall, lack-luster and expensive for the $7.60 - Large.

This place is always busy, but I somehow always manage to find a table. Just a heads up, you order before you sit down. The person taking my order was also making drinks and did a great job keeping everything moving. My only surprise was that the breakfast burrito seemed to have sausage in it, even though the menu listed turkey bacon, eggs, and cheese. It wasn't bad, just a little heartier than I was expecting.

Revolution Roasters is located in a shopping center with a couple of other food vendors. Seating…read moreinside is limited but there is a good amount of seating outside. The esthetic is really nice and as good as the coffee. It looks like they have seasonal offering that changes with the four seasons of the year. For spring seasonal I had a pistachio latte. I really liked what I can only assume is their in house syrup. Think Starbucks pistachio latte, but two times better. This coffee place is for those who don't do Starbucks. Vanilla flat white was just as good. I would say Carlsbad for coffee this place is a must stop.

Hiya B.U.M.S., Let's…read moreget something out of the way first: I don't like coffee. I know, I know. It's a latte to take in. My wife, on the other hand, is a total caffeine fiend. But here's the kicker--she orders her coffee plain, simple, and black. To me? It tastes exactly like every other coffee in the world. (Don't bean me, it's just the truth!) Despite my lack of enthusiasm for bean water, we recently checked out Revolution Roasters, and I figured it was time to espresso my thoughts on the place. Spoiler alert: It was a pretty brew-tiful experience. Since I'm not a coffee guy, I let my wife handle the beverage department. She ordered an Iced Cold Brew and gave it an enthusiastic thumbs up. She said it was really good, which means Revolution Roasters is definitely doing something right to keep the coffee purists happy. Now, onto my territory, the White Chocolate Scone was a hit with the wife because it wasn't too sweet. If you prefer your pastries without a side of sugar shock, this is the one for you. However, full disclosure: if you're standing there debating between this scone and the savory pot pie from the shop right across the way... I'm going with the pot pie. Sorry, scone. I also ordered the Berry & Cream Cheese Toast, which was the real MVP. Again, it wasn't overly sweet, and they nailed the ratio. There was a perfectly even, generous spread of cream cheese and berry topping. Highly recommend! Revolution Roasters is located in a super cool, market-style space filled with other neat little shops. It makes for a great, lively atmosphere. When we walked in, the line was pretty long--clearly, the secret is out. But don't let a crowd deter you! The service was incredibly smooth and helpful, and they've got the operation down to a science. Plus, despite the crowd, there was actually adequate seating for a ton of people. We didn't have to play the awkward "hover around a table until someone leaves" game. While the vibes are immaculate, there is one tiny logistical hurdle. For a coffee shop that gets this busy, there is only one bathroom. If you've just downed a large iced brew, you might have to practice some patience. All in all, Revolution Roasters ground its way into our good graces. Between the smooth service, the cool market atmosphere, and food that hits the spot, I could definitely see us filtering back in here again soon. Whether you love coffee or you're just there for the toast, it's well worth a visit!

The storefront is a bit unassuming, being part of a standard business park, but the interior is really nice and clean, and reminds me of Japanese coffee shops, and even looks somewhat like Longplay HiFi in Sherman Heights. The Pancake Syrup Latte is a very popular and tasty choice if you're looking for a treat--it's creamy, the coffee is still forward, and it's a slightly sweet without being saccharin. Does it taste like pancakes? Not exactly, but it's a well-balanced treat-like drink worth trying iced on a hot day.

There's a quote in the bathroom by Carl Jung that says "He who looks outside dreams, he who looks inside awakens". I love the thoughtfulness and details. Mike, who owns the shop, helped me find what I was looking for off their menu. He gave great descriptions and mentioned their house-made syrups weren't too sweet. I got the "High Tide" coconut vanilla latte. It was delicious! And not too sweet. It was made by Lex who was super friendly. Mike went above and beyond and gave me a complimentary slice of their house banana bread. Incredibly thoughtful gesture and it was sooo good! And again not too sweet. This is a special little coffee shop with wonderful people, thoughtfully crafted drinks, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. I'll definitely be back.

The team was super friendly, personable, patient with our questions, and accommodating of our customization requests. We ordered iced hojicha tea lattes. I got it with oat milk, my spouse got it with half and half. I think it is pretty rare for non-Asian places to have hojicha! It was good! We want to come back and try other items. You stand in line to order at a counter but I think you can also order online. I love how there is an option to order "for here". We got a # to take to our seat and they delivered our drinks to the table directly. And in glass (for cold drinks)! No plastic! Huge differentiator! There was seating inside and outside. Inside felt bustling and jovial. Outside felt a bit more relaxed and less loud. The tables are pretty close together but still nice to have casual conversation. I loved sitting outside! It was relatively shaded and warm. This is a gem! We look forward to returning soon.
