    Hiya B.U.M.S., Let's get 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!

    Mango sticky rice matcha

    Can I start by saying this little plaza is so cute? They have lights, benches, and all you need for a quick catch up sesh. Of course, it was absolutely packed on a Saturday morning because there is food here, coffee, and all the works. I wasn't expecting the mango sticky rice matcha to hit so hard here, but it was so good! The mango flavor was natural and stood out well in the drink. I'd have to give it a shot again! Yum!

    Love Revolution and their coffee! Their seasonal drinks hook me every time! This time I had a honeycomb latte with the honeycomb cold foam. The honeycomb latte has cardamom and the flavor was perfect. Not too sweet, but the cold foam was also amazing. The ham and cheese croissant was calling my name. It's super flakey and the cheese with ham was delicious! They have picnic tables and smaller tables to work and hangout. The staff were friendly and gave great recs!

    One of my favorite coffee shops in Carlsbad. It has everything: lots of space in that patio shared with many other businesses, awesome original pastries, great coffee, interesting decor, designer tables, cute little patio on the other side too. The merchandise is also cute. I like the variety of spaces you have and that it does not feel overcrowded. The music create ambiance but a bit loud for my taste.

    About to jump ship and become a SD girly for this coffee shop. It literally doesn't get better than this. Incredible atmosphere, picnic style dining, cutesy stores, and the most picturesque coffee shop all in one shopping center. If you couldn't tell, I'm smitten by Revolution Roasters. This coffee shop has it all. Their menu has the perfect balance of caffeine to festive. I ordered one of their seasonal beverages: the pistachio latte with almond milk. It was creamy and nutty, with a healthy dose of espresso. I also tried their tomato croissant and the apple pop tart. Both were beautifully crafted and so so tasty. Would easily return the next time I'm in Carlsbad!

    Vanilla latte and Matcha latte

    Okay, I saw this listing and it looked like something I really wanted to try and after doing so I wish I had went back to the place I hit a couple months ago. 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.

    We love to visit this coffee shop when we visit Carlsbad. It's such a beautiful spot for families. There is an outdoor yard area for kids to play and run around. There is a cute little Rv shop you can buy clothes from and relax outside. We always get our kids vanilla steamers. I really enjoyed the honey lavender latte my first morning and the Vanilla latte the second day. We ordered their avocado toast from the coffee shop that was delicious.

    First pit stop: making sure to fill up on matcha. On a beautiful Sunday morning, I decided to stop by this spot--and yes, the line was out the door. But don't let that scare you away because the service is incredibly fast. I went with the Burrata toast, while my friends ordered the jam cream cheese toast and the classic avocado toast. Everything was amazing. The flavors were fresh, simple, and really well done. They also have some other delicious items on the menu, and I couldn't resist grabbing the corn blueberry scone. It didn't last long at all--it was absolutely out of this world. The whole area is just so cute. It's a beautiful space where you can enjoy your food outside in a shared seating area with other nearby restaurants, which makes the whole experience feel lively and fun.

    hot pistachio latte 10/10 iced honeycomb latte (cardamom & honey) 7/10 - lots of earthy flavors, not sweet but has a good espresso & milk ratio, so I enjoyed it still. This was such a cute little coffee shop - lots of unique flavors all with in-house made syrups and yummy pastries! There is NO INDOOR SEATING here however, but a cute little set up outdoors with bouquets available for purchase from a vendor! Overall, a great experience! Very friendly baristas and quick service.

    What a fantastic little nugget in the heart of downtown Carlsbad! From the drinks to the food, staff and service This company deserves an applause It's situated right in the middle of everything! Order from the counter- this kinda needs a little help as there is always a line... and anything worth waiting on is a line I'll stand in! But if you're in a hurry this is your heads-up! But every drink and EVERY pastry is the best of what Carlsbad offers! They have seating outside with chairs and tables, music softly playing. It's really a great place to come and meet friends, or even a place I would come alone and have breakfast and read or work! I am overly picky about my pastries since traveling through Europe- but I don't have to leave Carlsbad for a fantastic treat!! Even if the combination doesn't sound good- they are Delicious!! I actually woke up this morning thinking about their Earl Gray Pop tart? I don't even like pop tarts!!! Anyways just a quick review so others know this is a special Gem in our city!!!

    First time here

    Came here early morning to a longer line then I was expecting. Parking is pretty easy, either in the lot or street. Great outdoor seating. Only one register was open, and there was only one that I saw. Line was slow and long but I wasn't in any rush. I got a hazelnut toffee latte and an iced matcha. Both well made not too much ice at all which I appreciate. I was going to get a pastry but they don't offer to heat up the pastry. Maybe next time I come I'll grab an avocado toast. Really nice lawn area. Coffee is served without a cover so you can add sugar and your own cover and straw in the little section. Indoor seating is scarce I'll be back for sure. Great vibe all around, cash register guy was super chill

    Strawberry Matcha

    Loved the Strawberry Matcha! It wasn't too sweet and it came right away ! Fast service and relaxing setting.

    Love this area. They have a few laptop-friendly tables inside, but the outdoor space is really what makes this place amazing. It's a shared open space with Pop Pie, Stella, and a brewery, with lots of tables under the trees which was the perfect mix of sun and shade on a beautiful sunny day :) It's also very family-friendly, which adds to the vibe. I was able to grab a seat inside to work and study, which worked out well. I ordered a latte, which was good, but unfortunately they don't offer "for here" ceramic cups :( I'd still come back to get some work done and enjoy the space.

    Our go to coffee place. Always tons of regulars here. They offer a wide variety of teas (energize…read moreand immunity ones are spectacular) for me and my wife really loves their blended vanilla drink. The fruit smoothies aren't my fav, but their chai is phenomenal. Pastries are also really good. Ample outdoor seating with occasional singers outside playing guitar. Support this local staple in La Costa.

    So glad I stopped by this coffee shop! I always appreciate one that roasts their own coffee beans…read more I think it makes them stand out and much more unique than the others. I tried one of their summer specials, an Iced Banana Maple Latte with soy milk. I loved how bold and intense the flavor of the coffee was without it being overwhelming; however, I did not taste the banana or maple flavors at all. It just tasted like a straight up sweetened iced latte. Don't get me wrong, it's a great latte. But I guess I was just expecting to get more of the banana and maple flavors, especially since I was pretty excited about that flavor combination. The staff were welcoming and friendly, and the ambiance was great. I love that they have their roasting machine right where people can observe and watch the process if they wanted to. They have ample tables and chairs indoor, and a few outdoor as well. I'm pretty sure I'll be coming back here. I'll probably try the Caramel Cream Latte next time.

    "Addison's Brunch"…read more Placed perfectly along the sunkissed Coast Highway 101 in Encinitas is a quaint brunch spot serving up culinary wizardry. I've gotten the chance to visit a few times and I'm always impressed with how they balance serious cooking with approachable flavors. Chef Andrew Bachelier (Addison, Jeune et Jolie, Campfire) brings his take on a foodie workshop that dazzles with amazing brunch food and an imaginative drinks bar. The food was phenomenal. Turkish Eggs were super flavorful and fresh. Almost like eating an herby ramen egg on crusty toast with all the fresh herbs and chili oil. The hamachi crudo was delicate and fresh. The pork chop was sumptuous with an excellent sauce. But my favorite had to be the sourdough french toast. It actually blew my mind how the outside was crispy and crackley but the inside was moist, gooey but not mushy. I heard from the waiter they soak the bread in a custard or syrup for 72 hrs to get that texture and yet the outside is crispy. Sorcery. In short, this is the brunch spot of all brunch spots, combining michelin star level cooking with beloved breakfast foods. This place really punches above its weight class and I highly recommend checking it out! Best Bite: French Toast

    Really enjoyed my visit to Atelier Manna!!…read more First, they are now TAKING RESERVATIONS. We didn't realize that until morning of. It's easier for them and easier for us - they can count how many people are coming & you don't have to worry about waiting an hour. Vibes are great. Food is lovely (though expensive!). My fave dish was the amazing summer porridge. Sure it's $32 for the dish - but this is a Michelin-quality place (Bib Gourmand, not a star) so not for every day and it was delicious. Basically like a risotto, ate every grain. Check out the gorgeous pic! People are high on the Turkish eggs - but I thought they were meh, and tiny for $23. Not one of the best values here, IMHO. We wanted to try the vaunted French toast, but they had run out by the time of our reservation. On the recommendation of our server & my friend Jiansen in his review here, we also ordered the Pistachio Bread Pudding. It was beautiful, tasty, light and photo worthy! And also on Jiansen's rec, I tried the jasper, which was like a cold coffee mocktail on the rocks (steady state coffee. cherry. chaga. vanilla. rose vinegar. lemon). Tasty and interesting! We really liked the vibes too. They take reservations for 1:30 pm, though they're closing technically at 2. The manager (whose name I am forgetting - but he is from Philly and super nice!) told us "they don't close" and we could sit and enjoy & not be in their way while they closed up, but a few of the other staff members seemed to be wanting us to leave. So keep that in mind if you get one of the last reservations; lingering with a friend might be a bit challenging. But we had a great time, and I especially enjoyed the summer porridge. I'll definitely come again (and know I should make a reservation) - but it's probably better to come earlier before they run out of anything & before we're in their way while they're cleaning up! Oh - and parking can be a real challenge. Come early and check out the side streets!
