Coffee: I'm really not the type to exaggerate, but this was the best iced coffee I've had in a while. Several different types of beans are available if you prefer specific regions/flavors over others. Food: Ham & Swiss Croissant was excellent. Freshly made, and it was carefully cut evenly in the middle for convenient eating. Service: Super nice guy. Went out of his way to suggest one coffee type over another given what I was going for and time of day. Parking: Plenty. Parking lot adjacent to corporate offices. Seating: Outdoor 4-person tables next to the coffee shop. Umbrellas and overhead shade, a few sets of comfy lounge chairs. Vibe: Koi pond with ducks, turtles, etc with a mini bridge connecting the parking lot to the shop really set the mood. Perfect for solo adventures as well as datesn, casual studying/relaxing. Best for sunny weather days. read more

Origen is definitely not in a place you'd expect to find a coffee shop but it has quickly become one of my favorites. There aren't any fancy flavors, but you don't need them when the drink is made perfectly. Service is always fantastic and there's a neat Koi pond next to the coffee stand where you can enjoy your coffee. They aren't open on weekends, but that's because they're usually at the Vista farmers market. read more

I was going to settle for the free hotel coffee this morning but they ran out and wouldn't make another pot. So I figured if I was going to have to go out for coffee, I might as well get good coffee and that's how we stumbled upon here en route to Legoland. I stayed in the car with the kiddo while my husband went in and ordered. He said the guy working the place was really friendly. He brought me out a vanilla latte and it was perfection. I hate when lattes are overly sweet. This had just a touch of sweetness and you could still appreciate the actual coffee itself. My husband was happy with his Americano too. And they were reasonably priced. read more

Can't speak on the espresso, but had a pleasant drip coffee here. Located between many different corporate offices, which means there's plenty of seating around. If I were in the area more, it'd be a great option for working or conversation. Owner is super friendly and really knows his way around the beans and their origin. All the flavor notes and origin details are listed, and you can buy small bags directly from him. I'm more than willing to pay for coffee from here than any big chain. read more

Today being "National Coffee Day" and all, we couldn't resist the urge to try a new place and that led us to Origen Coffee Roasters. Tucked in between several office buildings, this quaint little place keeps it simple with limited menu options and outdoor seating only. While this isn't the place you camp out for the day because of the free Wifi and background music, this is a great option if you need a quick infusion of caffeine while juggling many things on a busy day. And that's...Henry's Take. #carlsbadcoffee read more

Great coffee selection, but what really shined about Origen was the knowledge of the barista. We chatted for a few minutes about what I like, how I usually take my coffee, and he made a fantastic recommendation! I did a pour over of his recommendation straight up, which I don't typically drink coffee without cream and sugar. But it was so delicious that I didn't need anything more. It's an unassuming spot, just a tiny shack with some outdoor seating, but the weather is generally nice enough that it's a perfect spot. Also, the beautiful koi pond adjacent to Origen is a stunning addition to the ambiance!! read more

The pourover I had here is the best cup of coffee I've gotten in SoCal. Barista (also co-owner?) went with a Clever Dripper brew method, after carefully explaining the different beans available for pourover. I'm surprised there aren't more reviews of this place. We went the day after Christmas and they were very friendly and happy to answer questions, talk shop and beans, and about their farm. There weren't a ton of people so the owner even gave us a complementary pastry! This place is a bit hidden away, yes, so it's a detour to go for coffee here. It may just be a matter of preference, but I've spent a couple weeks running around trying out different specialty coffee spots and this one came out on top for flavor. read more

My husband thought the latte was a tiny bit runny/watery (if that makes sense) but I thought it was fine. I'm not an oat milk drinker, but I enjoyed the flavor of the oat milk. The tiny downside is that the oat milk kinda overpowers the matcha flavor. It was a nice smooth drink. We also ordered a chocolate croissant and it was good too. I was happily surprised to find this coffee shop and will definitely go back and even get coffee beans there.

So, we get there and see a pretty good and see a steady line coming out the door, okay cool. However in what we tried it's just an okay spot. I would say they have a great business model and have cool merch and crazy cool art and stuff but the drinks weren't anything special like what we expected. My wife got the matcha latte with honey and it was not well made. Seems like they feel more is better when it comes to putting matcha in the drink. More is not better. It just makes the matcha taste like grass. Ground powdered matcha is basically a concentrate and needs to be treated that way. Had my review been just on her drink it would be a one star. Her drink is exactly why a lot of people say matcha is not good. A well made matcha should be delicious. I got a vanilla latte and it was just okay. Tasted fine but wasn't anything that would have me wanted to come back for more. I do have to give it to them for the latte artwork as they do great on that. But the drink was just okay. We also got an heirloom blueberry and corn scone which was good but the corn makes it a bit gritty like corn bread, which I like although it could throw someone off if they are not expecting it. The other pastries all looked pretty good and we saw some breakfast sandwiches coming out that did look good too.
