    Strawberry Matcha
    Jemiah J.

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

    Breakfast Toast

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Salmon Toast
    Rico M.

    Our latte tasted very plain and basic but it lacked the coffee taste, it felt like it was just milk. But our sandwich, the salmon toast was hands down the best toast I've ever had. That recipe and presentation was marvelous. It was gorgeously presented, like you were dining at a Michelin restaurant. The service was nice and friendly, the lady who took our order smiled a lot. the ambience inside was nice with cool merchandise and a cozy interior, there was also a ton of outdoor seating.

    Stopped by Revolution Roasters in Carlsbad and grabbed a matcha latte and a vegan pop tart. Such a good combo! The matcha latte was solid, good ratio of matcha to milk and you could tell they were using quality ingredients. Their outdoor space provided plenty of chairs and tables to sit down and enjoy the warm California weather. Staff were friendly and service was quick. Perfect spot to catch up on some work or just unwind with a good cup of matcha.

    Butterscotch latte
    Meri D.

    Wonderful and delicious coffee in the heart of Carlsbad Village! I've been it this one a few times and every time the coffee hits the spot. Beautiful outdoor patio to the side and in the shared open space. Originally I tried them in Oceanside a long time ago and same quality and taste, pretty consistent! Workers are nice and decent wait times with average coffee pricing. Parking is easy with the lot right next to it.

    Lillian W.

    Very cute coffee shop with good quality coffee and matcha! Matcha was on the pricier side (for $9 for a small strawberry matcha and no milk subs) but definitely delicious. Quite a few pastry options available at 3pm on a weekday and they certainly got us through the hunger hump before dinner. Loved the communal space shared with other businesses. Fast wifi and lots of outdoor seating available.

    After an appt I was craving some coffee and a bite. Across the street I saw Revo. Popped over there to check out the menu. First thing I saw was Butterscotch Latte. I'm in! Walked inside and it had the best vibe. Kinda beachy ambiance and a little boho. I was greeted right away. Not rushed on my order and she was super friendly. Food came right up. A decent sized "pop tart". Apple Ginger to be exact. Flavorful and flaky. The latte was entering I thought it would be. Touch and creamy and not overpowering. Definitely check this Out when you're in Carlsbad.

    Flat white and iced latte
    Charlie L.

    Love this place. The staff is knowledgeable and helpful. The flat white there is good. I had the orange cranberry scone on a recent visit and will be ordering that again. My daughter really enjoyed her latte and potato leek pastry. The prep line moves a bit slow, but the coffee is delicious and we all need to slow down a bit and relax anyway. It's a busy place, a bit of a tight squeeze while waiting. Ample seating outside, did not have any issues finding parking. We'll be back!

    Did a quick search for coffee while on our trip to the Carlsbad area and decided to try Revolution Roasters. There was a huge line to order wrapping around the building so my expectations were high. There was just one person taking orders and two baristas making drinks. I had the iced hazelnut toffee latte and my husband had the butterscotch latte we both felt the lattes were missing flavor and just tasted like milk and espresso. Not sure if I got them on an off day but wasn't for me on this particular day, their pastries looked great if I hadn't already ate I would have definitely tried some out.

First impression even before ordering a veg breakfast scramble at the front counter: the peeps who are employed here love (not like) working here. Miles of smiles and genuine engagement with customers is not something you can teach so it says everything about the owners that they love their staff and hire those that match their vibe. And that vibe is infectious and inspiring in a world where most seldom if ever look up from their phones. Ordering was a breeze, service was upbeat and the extra crisp I asked for on the breakfast potatoes was a crunchy delight. Great menu covering all day food cravings from omelettes, pancakes, fish tacos, burgers and inventive coffee choices and fresh pastries were on display and inviting. Floor to ceiling windows, cool light 'n breezy tunes, indoor and outdoor seating equally easy on the eyes and ears. I live in Carlsbad so it's an easy commute but I would drive from Alpine or the border to savor a moment or two of pure gratitude for this amount of happiness and love served on a white dinner plate.
