    Coffee was good. Matcha was good. That's the important part for a coffee shop. We had breakfast and drinks here and sat inside. We had the following: Cold brew with banana pudding cold foam. Not a bunch of banana pudding taste to it, but it was a nice addition to the cold brew. Strawberry matcha - you could taste the strawberry and it was a very nice balance. Ham and cheese croissant - I would not get this again. It was too buttery/greasy and the everything seasoning really took away from the small amount of ham and cheese it had. Almond croissant - was good, with a nice filling inside of it. We would for sure get this again if we got food again. We ate inside, it's a large open space that was LOUD, lots of echos and noise. When we first came the place was packed and by the time we finished up it did thin out, but it was still loud inside. This is not a place to come to chill out that's for sure. The workers also made zero effort to put any volume level when calling out the names of the order. Not sure if this was good or not but it was a guessing game if your order was ready. The items did have your name printed on them so it was easy to find, you just had no idea when your order was ready. I was at the counter getting napkins next to the pick up area and I still could not hear the name the workers called out. But I guess if they yelled it would just be even more loud inside than it already was. I would come back, but it would be a to-go order for sure and would probably just get drinks.

    Switched from our usual cafe elysa since 4th of July crowds were crazy. No problems parking, found seats for our group of 4 easily. Very happy with the variety of vegan options and outdoor seating. Service was lovely, quick friendly and efficient.

    Very nice coffee shop with plenty of sitting and parking. The Coffee is nice and strong with bold flavors. Large coffee menu and some good eats. I will be back again.

    I looove that their coffee is organically farmed and processed in Uganda, then locally roasted in Vista, CA with a simple mission, "Love Coffee. Love People More". I'm all about spreading some LOVIN'. It's greaaat that Vista Bean is passionate about connecting people. When I walked in for my first time, the coffee shop was bright and spacious with positive vibes. The staff were really helpful when I had questions. I left satisfied with my latte. The sweetness was pretty balanced which is not the typical case for me. I was open to it and can't wait to go back to try something new. This is definitely a recommended spot for the Yelp Community :-)

    We came in to try out their coffee. The menu is small for food (pastries) but a decent size listing for coffee. You can add syrups to your liking. There is one register running so be patient. My husband ordered the drip and I had a decaf americano. Additional costs to adding syrups and alternative milks. Coffee was good. Ethically sourced. We brought our own cups which takes $0.10 off your order. You can enter a phone number for points if you are going to continue to come here. Looks like a great space for catching up with friends or co-working. Parking can be limited if busy.

    Been driving by this place for a while and got a chance to stop by and get coffee. I ordered an iced banana bread latte and a chocolate chip cookie. Pretty good! Give this place a try!

    - huge lot with its own parking and a massive interior! Perfect for studying/working - they had fun seasonal offerings and a solid coffee menu - I got the honey bunches of coffee ($6.25 for 12 oz) which has marshmallow and pecan syrup - it's a very sweet drink so the espresso gets kinda covered, I mainly tasted the vanilla-y marshmallow flavor not so much the pecan

    Vista Bean is a very unique coffee shop that is committed to supporting the people and community of Uganda. All of their coffee is organically farmed and 100% of the money goes to their farmers, that's amazing! I ordered a simple cold brew with coconut cold foam and I can taste the richness of the coffee beans, probably one of the best cold brews I've had. This little shop is located right before the freeway so I definitely suggest checking this place out for your next pit spit, there is plenty of parking and seating options inside. I didn't try any of their food options, although everything looked great-- especially the pastries. My only critic is I wish the barista was a little more friendly with a welcome, and a little loud and clear when I was asking for recommendations. I didn't feel like my presence was acknowledged.

    Another must try coffee shop in Oceanside! This place is pretty big and has a nice size parking lot. It is a little difficult driving into the parking lot since it is so close to the on ramp to get on the 78 and the 15 south. We went around noon and we had to do a couple loops before there was not traffic blocking the entrance. Oh and we were coming from the 78. If coming from the coast, it should be a lot better. Even though there was ample parking, it was full. Hunters steakhouse is next door and I kinda got the feeling that the coffee shops lot is being used as overflow. There wasnt too many people inside. I love when coffee shops have seasonal drinks on top of their regular coffee. I got the honey bunches of oats latte with oat milk which was made of marshmellow and praline flavors. My husband got the maple pancake cold brew along with regular drip coffee. It was all so delicious. The drip coffee didn't even need sweetener! The ambience was nice. More upbeat than the other chill coffee spots. I can see it as a good hangout spot to get coffee with friends!

    We love trying new local coffee shops, and decided to pop into the Vista Bean on a Monday afternoon. Lots of parking here, the interior of the space is airy and bright with lots of natural lighting and many tables. It would be a good place to sit and get a few hours of work done. however, only a few tables have access to a socket so keep that in mind . They also have a fun little assortment of items you can shop for, including handwoven baskets, coffee paraphernalia, and other merchandise. They have pastries and prepackaged snacks, some of which were gluten-free, which is always appreciated. I got a iced strawberry Matcha, and it was very good. They use ceremonial grade Matcha and a yummy strawberry jam/purée spread. It takes a little bit to mix it into the iced Matcha, but once you blend it in there, as I did, it was really tasty. The staff was very friendly as well! Overall, really enjoyed my drink and the good vibes, and would love to come back.

    Banana Bread Latte

    Love the new spring options and can't wait to try them all! Ordered the banana bread latte with oatmilk and wow. So good!! Trying the raspberry white mocha next!

    Another coffee shop that I've been driving by forever and finally my husband and I decided to stop in on our way to downtown SD. So happy we went! They have a great parking lot, so it's pretty easy to get in and out of, and they have a great amount of indoor seating. Perfect place to study, meet up with friends and family, or work for a few hours. As soon as I saw ceremonial grade matcha on the menu, I knew what I had to order. I ordered their ceremonial iced matcha with lavender syrup and almond milk and it was perfect! I could drink this all day long as they did a fantastic job. My husband ordered a hazelnut latte and my goodness it was delicious. I love a great balance in a drink, usually not too sweet but not bitter either, and his hazelnut latte was just the right balance. I was honestly amazed at how good it was. He claimed it's the best latte he's had in years. Both of our drinks were so good! I noticed they had some gf/vegan options of pastries too. As soon as I saw the blueberry lemon scone, I knew I needed to try it. It looked as good as it tastes! I loved it, and it's not noticeable as being gf/vegan when tasting it/the texture of it, but if you aren't used to gf/vegan baked goods, you may notice the slight difference. Delicious flavor overall!

    Came here to work remote, and I'm happy to know that I will be coming back to either work remote again or bring friends and family. There are a handful of chairs and tables, and it's not too loud inside. I got the iced white mocha latte and a ham and cheese croissant, both very good but heads up on the croissant it is very flaky. The girls working are also very kind :)

This place has such a loyal following that people will happily walk a few blocks just to get their Revo fix. One of my favorite things is their seasonal menu. I've learned to fully embrace each special while it's here because once it's gone, it's gone. Right now, I'm completely obsessed with the Coconut Mango Sticky Rice Matcha. I'm pretty sure the baristas recognize me as "the Sticky Rice Matcha lady" at this point! I'm soaking up every sip while it's in season, and although I'll be sad when it's gone, I know they'll surprise me with something amazing next season. Their food is just as impressive. The toast is delicious, they use Prager Brothers bread, organic avocado, and fresh tomatoes, and you can really taste the difference that quality ingredients make. It's refreshing to find a café that clearly cares about food integrity. Another huge bonus for me is that they offer almond milk. So many coffee shops default to oat milk, but I appreciate having another option that fits my preferences. The only downside is the parking. My strategy is simple: go early if you can. Once it gets busy, finding a spot can be an adventure. But even with that minor inconvenience, Revolution Roasters is absolutely worth the trip. Incredible coffee, thoughtful seasonal drinks, quality ingredients, and a team that clearly cares about what they serve. Easy five stars.

Mike and the entire team at Dreamwave are doing such an incredible job of making the experience worth every penny. The quality of the coffee, the work they do, and the service they provide is truly top tier. While they do have a lot of fun flavors, this is not the kind of place that drowns the palate with sweetness. They expertly balance the ratio of syrup, milk, and espresso to provide the best outcome. The nuttiness of their roast really shines, and they're always happy to adjust the sweetness if you need them to. Personally, I love the lower sweetness level being the default. These guys know what they're doing! We've been visiting for the past week and have stopped through Dreamwave four times this week. While I'm always in the need of a coffee fix, we've gone out of our way to visit multiple times because the people have been so beyond kind.
