    I heard this spot was very popular so I had to try one of the handcrafted drinks. When I walked in, I immediately felt the down to earth vibe and sense of community. The staff were super friendly and efficient despite the busyness. My coffee was hottt and fresssh but I was hoping for a lot more flavor or sweetness. I can't wait to go back to try the pastries!

    I was excited to try thier cookies , but they were all sold out . I got a bag of shot bread cookies instead . They were decent. I'll wait next time to try other ones.

    Wow, what a 5/5 spot! We tried drinks off the Winter menu and opted for the cinnamon roll cold brew foam on top. I found myself slipping back into the mannerisms of a 5 year old and only sipping the cold foam off the top, bc damn it was THAT delicious. Though my love of that cinnamon roll foam may lead you to believe otherwise, I don't love overly sweet coffee. The drinks here let the coffee shine first and are sweetened an appropriate amount. IMO, it rides that perfect blend for a coffee treat out! My husband and I split an avocado tomato toast and were surprised it came with 2 slices! For $13, I expected a single toast, so we felt that given the market norm - the 2 slices of sourdough with avo and tomato felt like a bang for our buck. (I KNOW, but late stage capitalism, ya know?) The sourdough was buttery and crunchy and the tomato and avo plentiful. The space was cute, service welcoming, and the whole vibe was very down to earth and low key. There were quite a few people studying and the other patrons in the space were respectful of the quiet vibe. There's outdoor seating out front for the more lively crowd too. There's playlist also had some great finds! 5/5, we'll be back again!

    Revo Roasters has really stepped Up their game and become my fav coffee in O'side. They have the best flat-white in the game hands down. Get up, surf the harbor, grab a flat-white at Revolution Roasters, sit in the sun on their patio while I drink it and start my work day at a 10/10 in happiness.

    My husband and I came here on a Sunday morning. There was a long line but it moved ar a reasonable pace. There's street parking and outside seating as well as inside. I ordered a small lavender honey latte (w/1/2 the syrup and almond milk) and my husband ordered the seasonal drip coffee. The seasonal coffee was ready by the time payment was made. The latte came out pretty quick so they seemed to have nailed down their process. We placed our order to go. To food looked pretty good but we didn't order any this time. My husband said his seasonal drip didn't have much flavor and is only offered as a small size, so he found this to be limiting. I wasn't fond of the flavor of my latte. We may try this place again but it would be a different coffee from what we had ordered from this trip.

    I'm testing a new theory...and it's that anyone who is willing to invest in a Slayer espresso machine, they care a lot about their beans. So stop four on my Slayer-theory tour is Revolution Roasters. And so far, my theory is testing mostly true. An add-on to my excellent-coffee-shop-theory as of recent has been if the barista asks me if I'd like soda water with my espresso. Revolution has both- the Slayer and the soda water question. And the result? Probably the best cup of espresso in San Diego. I'd say the only one that really holds a candle to Revolution is Lofty's single-origin Ethiopian roast, but you have to go down to Encinitas to get your hands on that. Bottom line, Revolution is a special place and I would go out of my way for this espresso again.

    Super cute!!

    Revolution Roasters has modern vibe. They have ample outdoor and indoor seating. Their menu includes a nice selection of coffee, drinks, pastries and food. They do not accept cash. The staff were very nice. I ordered two Iced butterscotch latte with almond milk. It was rich, creamy with perfect sweetness. I didn't have the chance to try their food this time. Definitely, I will come back and try their food and pastries

    Love Revolution Roasters. They have a good amount of seating and the staff keeps it pretty clean. Every time I've been there, the baristas have been very friendly. The coffee and matcha are both really solid. I got the cappuccino last time I was in and it was really good. The patio is a nice place to hang out for a bit when the whether is nice.

    Vanilla Latte

    Delicious vanilla latte. Perfectly balanced and not too sweet. Indoor and outdoor seating, and street parking available. It's also connected to a vintage store! Nice staff and fast service!

    Iced vanilla latte
    Kayleen H.

    Iced vanilla latte is good! Would come here again for the coffee but would not for the customer service! Not super friendly or welcoming, as this was my first time here. I get friendlier customer service at Starbucks than I did here today!

    Hannah O.

    wonderful little location in oceanside with a great outdoor patio space. service was quick and they were flexible with our order adjustments. however, my friend and i ordered the same thing back to back and there was an obvious difference in how they made it. we got black sesame lattes and hers had way more black sesame than mine, and mine tasted like a regular unflavored coffee. i'd go back to try something else because they do have a great menu. but maybe a different location next time.

    Ask the Community - Revolution Roasters

    Is this a good place to study? Or is it a noisy area?

    Not really. There's a lot of human traffic (people walking by, not being "trafficked"). Also RR is on the busiest and loudest north-south artery on the coast for vehicles. It might work with a good set of headphones, but I would recommend the beach… Read more

    What day of the week is roast day?

    Saturdays! They roast at Coffee Coffee in Leucadia

    Can you buy their homemade Almond Milk?

    At this moment you can't. We asked/tried 😅

    Are you Pet friendly?

    We have a huge patio with tons of pets outside! Unfortunately do to Health Department regulations we cannot allow pets inside. Service animals are of course more than welcome!

    I asked if their bread was vegan and they said no..but on the Prager brothers website there are no animal ingredients. What makes the avocado toast not vegan?

    Yes only because we butter the toast! Just ask for no butter :)

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.

Bread arrived warm on the outside and cold on the inside. For a spot that is also a bakery it was quite disappointing that we would have bread out of the fridge or freezer. They replaced it but it wasn't much better. The grilled cabbage appetizer that was supposedly a hot item was bland without much flavor and had piles of Parmesan on top to cover up the blandness? It would have benefited from a more complex flavor profile. The salmon was over salted and terribly over cooked. Also worth mentioning it was a super small filet for $39. The pea pesto was tasty but needed to be more creamy. For this price point I expected more than just a small salad plate that didn't have anything more than the filet and pesto. The sausage pasta only had a little heat going for it - any other seasoning was unnoticeable and nothing more than what I can do in my own kitchen and could even do better. This place does not compare to its sister restaurants (Campfire and Jeune et Jolie). Definitely not worth the price point and a huge disappointment. Would have much rather spent my money at a hole in the wall that served complex flavors and undeniably satiating dishes.

It just made me feel like this sort of thing happens a lot. I really love this place but I'm really not sure how this keeps happening to me. I just can't do it anymore. Really bummed.
