    Windmill
    Jessica Z.

    The service wasn't good, to begin. They only carry one size which looks like an 8oz possibly 12 but I doubt it. The price is $5.50 plus + $1.00 for vanilla. I honestly didn't seem to enjoy the taste. It was sour and bitter. I like my lattes rich, smooth and creamy.... Won't be back.

    Matcha Cream on Top

    I'm sad to report that this location of Immersion fell short for me. This "express" version of Immersion Coffee is located inside Windmill Food Hall. It's a tiny stall where you just walk up and order. I got their Matcha Cream on Top which is a matcha latte with vanilla bean syrup and cream on top. Both the matcha and the cream were pretty watery. Even though it was freshly made, everything tasted quite diluted and muted. Wasn't a fan. I've previously been to their La Jolla location and absolutely loved it! The coffee and matcha there were both great. Hopefully this location catches up.

    Tasty matcha latte and a delicious Black Sesame Snickerdoodle! I'd give this place 5 stars, but unfortunately, the customer service during my visit yesterday morning was rude and unwelcoming. When I approached the café to order, the employee didn't smile or greet me, and she made me feel like I was bothering her just by placing an order. I was also the only person in line, and it took a while for her to acknowledge that I was there. The interaction was pretty off-putting and took away from an otherwise great experience. The ambiance was really nice, and the café is located inside Windmill Food Hall in Carlsbad. I'd definitely come back for the matcha and treats. I just hope for a friendlier experience next time.

    Really nice coffee shop inside the windmill, across the premium outlets and near legoland. I think the parking lot does get full on the weekends and don't make the mistake on parking at the hotel area. The coffee here was great. We got the espresso tonic, latte, strawberry matcha, and the matcha latte. The strawberry matcha was not too sweet but had plenty of strawberry flavor that didn't take over the matcha taste. All the drinks were great. There was also plenty of seating area inside/outside for you to enjoy your drinks. Service was pretty great. The lady behind the counter was super nice.

    This place always has the tastiest coffee!! Anytime I'm In town it's always been a pleasant experience. The staff is awesome and Serena knows my order without having to ask. I'd highly recommend, vibes are so good here.

    Stopped by as I wanted to check out the food hall, but saw they had Immersion coffee so chose coffee instead. I love their little Italy location that I had to try the Carlsbad location. This time I ordered the orange latte as the barista recommended it. Oh I'm glad she did bc the orange sauce they make they made sure to have the orange flavor present! It is pretty sweet, but the coffee is good/strong that the sweetness helped with that (if you don't like a bold coffee taste). Have a new fav latte at Immersion lol.

    Very tasty drinks, It can get busy so requires some patience I enjoy the unique drinks and the taste delivers

    Biscoff Cheesecake
    Ter L.

    This review is specifically regarding Immersion Express's Biscoff Cheesecake. Immersion Express offers a quick pick me up in the form of espresso. Whether you are a fan of lattes, cold brews, mochas, drip coffee, or even matcha- THIS JOINT HAS YOU COVERED! With my late evening visit, I bypassed the caffein and went straight for the sweets. My mouth watered as I viewed the assorted cheesecakes, baked goods, and cookies. The Biscoff cheesecake absolutely hit the spot. This was thick, creamy, moist, and a lot more filling than I anticipated the small box to be. Each serving will set you back $12 but the happiness you get from consuming this purchase makes it all worth it. 4 stars. I absolutely wanna try the banana pudding next.

    If you're looking for a cute cafe in Carlsbad to hang out or get some work done, Immersion is the spot. First things first: they serve no decaf here, so get ready for the real deal! The staff is incredibly friendly and the space has lots of seating, which is always a huge plus. We ordered the strawberry matcha and the cream on top matcha, and both were flawlessly balanced and refreshing. But don't let the amazing matcha fool you--their normal coffee is genuinely fantastic too. Whatever drink you go with, do yourself a favor and pair it with one of their cheesecake options. Highly recommend!

    Tiramisu & pistachio cheesecake dessert

    Ordered 2 items from here: 1) pistachio cheesecake dessert - tasty and moist, enjoyed it 2) tiramisu - this was delicious and you can't go wrong with it

    Was curious why there was a line at this craft coffee shop at the entrance of the Windmill Food Hall. After lunch, waited in line to order the Matcha Cream on Top and Nutella Cheesecake. The barista was friendly and very dedicated to expertly prepare the drink. She started by preparing a cup of ice and layer of vanilla bean syrup on the bottom. She then carefully measured a fixed amount of matcha powder through a sieve, poured in hot water and mixed thoroughly. This mixture was poured into the cup, followed by some milk, and topped with a thick cream. The finishing touch was sprinkling some more fine matcha dust on top. I recommend mixing well once you receive the drink. It was creamy with just the right amount of sweetness and had a very strong matcha flavor. It was tasty and I finished the refreshing drink very quickly.

    Vanilla latte and Orange Latte
    Jessica T.

    Drinks were chefs kiss. The orange latte was amazing and the drinks aren't too sweet. It's located in a food court so there's so many food options too. Definitely give it a shot! I'm so exited to come back and try different drinks

    Strawberry Matcha after mixing
    Deanne L.

    I've been chasing this matcha high ever since! Other places haven't done justice so far. Recently tried the Strawberry Matcha during my lunch at Windmill. The employee whisked the matcha and took her time as she made my drink as she should and I'm grateful; good things take time. When she was finished she told me to mix it very well. Ugh it was so good!! Perfect amount of matcha and green color. Now all others I've had at other places just feels like not enough matcha or took much milk. This place made it perfectly. Nice amount of strawberry too. The lady working was nice and friendly.

    Good taste to the matcha with cream. Small cup considering the $7 price. Good service, in general.

We each got to order a pot of tea, so we decided to order 5 different ones to try out more flavors together. The ones we picked were: -Jasmine orange oolong - Coconut milk green tea - Earl grey lavender - Vanilla cream -Strawberry rose champagne oolong tea My top two favorites were the jasmine orange oolong and the coconut milk green tea. The only flavor that none of us enjoyed was the strawberry rose champagne oolong tea, so when it came time for refills, we switched it to the rouge provence. For the food, there were four finger sandwiches: chicken breast, smoked salmon, cucumbers, and chopped spinach. We all liked the chicken breast one the most, and felt like the cucumbers and chopped spinach could have been combined into one sandwich for a more balanced flavor. For sweets, there was the seasonal scone, fruit tart, macaron, and donut. I loved the scone with the butter and fruit preserves, as well as the fruit tart. The service was polite, but a bit slow and we waited a while before our food arrived. There was only one person who was serving the entire afternoon tea area, so it's understandable that there's a longer wait. All in all, I would definitely come back for another afternoon tea experience!

The first time we went, we ordered Cafe de la Olla and La Morena- both with oat milk and I asked them to double check the syrups did not contain dairy. I was told all was good so we enjoyed our lattes and our daughters shared a hibiscus refresher. On our second and third visit we ordered again, La Morena and one other latte. I asked again if the syrups contained any dairy and was told no. We ordered again with oat milk. On the second visit, my husband had stomach problems and I suspect dairy was somehow inadvertently used. On the third visit, I thought it may have been a fluke, my husband getting sick and so we ordered what we had the first time but this time I got sick. So, I'm not sure if there is dairy in the syrup or if they accidentally used cow milk in our lattes. Too bad too, because the flavors were tasty. We also appreciated the donuts from Doughside Donuts. I'm just not sure we will be ordered coffee from here anymore. The entry is really cute and you automatically see the variety of plants. They sell some jewelry and plant/Mexican pastry merchandise. Service was friendly but parking is not so great, especially when they are busy. Street parking only and it can be slim, especially on street sweep days. Cute shop but be weary if staying away from dairy.
