Locared inside the Windmill, less than a mile away from Legoland. The barista at Immersion Express prepared a delicious cup of drip coffee for us. Medium roast with strong pleasant floral notes. Service was fast, friendly and efficient. read more

Immersion Express - Sesame and strawbrrry matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Carlsbad, California

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! read more

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. read more

Immersion Express - Tiramisu & pistachio cheesecake dessert - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Carlsbad, California

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. read more

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 read more

Immersion Express - Vanilla latte and Orange Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Carlsbad, California

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. read more

First of all this place is inside a food hall so there isn't always sitting keep that in mind. Overall it's a nice place but my coffee was not good. It had like a bitter taste even though I had asked for syrup. The girl in the front was super nice so the customer service was good. I asked if they make the bakery items and she said no they buy it and heat it up so that kind of sucks. I am all for supporting small businesses but this one was ok. read more

Stopped by yesterday & loved it!! The only good matcha around that's actually so potent!!!!

We stopped by Immersion, a small corner coffee spot inside the Windmill building in Carlsbad, and had a really nice experience overall. Carol, the cashier/barista, was super friendly and welcoming. She was open to suggestions and really took the time to help us decide on our drinks. I usually go for matcha, but after seeing reviews about their orange latte, I was curious to try something different. Since I wasn't feeling well and still getting over a cold, I stuck with matcha, and Carol suggested trying it with orange--kind of like their orange latte but with matcha instead. The matcha tasted high quality (I believe it's ceremonial grade), and the orange flavor was good, but a bit too sweet for my taste. I still prefer my usual strawberry matcha, but I'm glad I tried something new. My friend ordered the orange latte, which was also on the sweeter side for her. What really stood out was Carol's service--she kindly offered to remake both of our drinks, which we really appreciated. She was so accommodating and genuinely nice that we didn't want to trouble her. Overall, the drinks are delicious and high quality--just ask for less sweetness if that's your preference. I'd definitely come back again for the service and to try more items on the menu! read more

Right when you walk into the food court you can't help but want dessert before your main dish! The person working the floor was wearing multiple hats was so nice and friendly. Loved her energy even though she was rocking it by herself! Felt bad there was a line of people, but I give her mucho kudos for being a swan in the water. I had the matcha strawberry drink and I really enjoyed it. Some places the matcha drinks can have that heavy earthy taste that I'm not a fan of, but this drink I was impressed with the balance. Strawberry wasn't overly sweet either. We grabbed carrot cake, key lime pie, pistachio cheesecake and couple of cookies. I personally liked the pistachio cheesecake and recommend if you're a pistachio fan! The cream cheese in the dessert was whipped liked, so it wasn't a heavy dense cheesecake. Overall I had a very enjoyable experience read more

Super friendly service and makes a great matcha with sweet foam! I can't wait to try their orange latte next!

Immersion coffee is a great addition to Windmill. I'm a proud coffee snob having grown up in Seattle. I know the good stuff for sure. The orange latte was outstanding! It's my new crave. I didn't try the baked goods this time, but I understand they are all home-made. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner who said he'll be opening a 4th store soon. The barista was sweet and made my drink with care. I highly recommend this spot. See you guys soon! read more

All of the gals who work here are quick, yet stick to quality standards so my drink comes out the same delicious way every time. They open at 8am every day, google has the time wrong! read more

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

i got the matcha cream top and it was so delicious! not overly sweet and the matcha balanced it out really well. also appreciated the fact that the barista was measuring everything out with a digital scale. i should have taken a picture before i drank it but you can still see how green it is. i would come back for the matcha and to try all those box cakes! read more
