I am always on the hunt for amazing espresso when I travel. My research turned up Revolution Roasters as a top spot in Oceanside and it did not disappoint. There's ample seating inside and outside. The interior space and vibe is clean and spacious. They have a lot of great coffee options and their baked goods and breakfast options are outstanding. The Blueberry sweet corn scone was so good that I had to buy a second one for breakfast the next day. The Avocado and pickled onion toast and breakfast sandwich were also delicious. I highly recommend this spot if you're in south oceanside!! read more

I was excited to try this coffee shop as it was bookmarked for some time. I am not sure where there is more parking available , I only saw street parking and it was around 8 am on a Sunday morning. I loved that they had outdoor and indoor seating and had the menu largely printed . I decided to try their seasonal favorites - Honey Comb Latte with Honey Comb Foam (5/10) & a ham and cheese croissant (9/10) . I did like how fast the service was but with the first sip it felt as if I was drinking a plant , had an odd flavor. The cold foam was also not thick, more of a watery base and didn't take that great. I did see a comment that also mentioned the croissant not being warmed up which was exactly what I thought when I received it, but the taste was still delicious , having it warmed up would give it 10/10. I was excited to try the coffee , but left disappointed with the taste. I could even fini read more

We LOVE the vibe of this place and really want to love it but we left disappointed today. After spending over $70 on two coffees, three sandwiches, and two danishes- they do not warm up foods they serve cold. The turkey pesto sandwich, ham and cheese croissant, and banana bread, and monkey bread were all cold, and they would not warm them up. It was disappointing as my sandwich alone was $14 and it was too hard to chew without it being warmed up. I would have also loved to have had warm banana bread and warm monkey bread instead of cold. I will say that the Breakfast sandwich was excellent! I wish I had ordered it. (Sorry I didn't get a picture of that one.) I do think it is important to add that when management saw my disappointment, they were very kind and swift to resolve it. For that reason, along with the excellent coffee - I will likely try it again. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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.

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. read more

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. read more

What a sweet spot. We walked from our lodging on a lovely drizzly day only to be greeted by the friendliest and most welcoming spot. This place has terrific coffee, lovely hot cocoa, and an assortment of pastries that were absolutely divine. We purchased a bag of coffee beans to bring home for our holiday guests and they raved about it! We'll be back next time we visit. read more

Really great find in Oceanside/Carlsbad area. Easy parking in next door large public lot. Staff are friendly and efficient They have a small variety of coffee and tea, including seasonal drinks. They also have some toasts and baked goods as well. I really liked their seasonal campfire cold foam coffee drink. The coffee was pretty strong and great to start the day. Their butterscotch latte is also solid. I had to try their Monkeybread which was fantastic! Definitely will get that again and maybe their morning roll. Great spot, def will be back read more

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. read more

cute little beachy vibe coffee shop. tons of great merch and stuff to buy! great menu. i ordered avocado toast that took forever comming out. my drink my ok needed an extra shot in it. too milky. but theres also no where to park i had to park like 4 blocks down. no public parking anywhere. read more

Your thoughts? 1/2 My favorite savory item is the jalapeño cheddar croissant. Flavorful and also comes with cream cheese. Flavors reminded me of a Mexican spicy stuffed bolillo with cheese, but it was open faced and less doughy. The breakfast bun is my go-to on the sweet side. The strawberry Pop-Tart looks beautiful, but the flavors are a bit too floral for my taste. Expenses: 1/1 Prices are a bit on the higher side with pastries ranging from 4-7 dollars each but most have been worth it. Location 1/1 The staff was courteous and efficient. Street parking ftw, since the lot was already packed. Possibility of a Future Visit & Recommendation 1/1 I'm not a big coffee drinker, but would still return for the pastries! read more

Delicious seasonal pop tart- wish I could eat one right now! Some construction was being accomplished on the front patio. Love their pastry and food case. read more

Offers some gluten free items! They had a nut free + gluten free buckwheat banana bread that was pretty tasty. Drinks are not overly sweet and the staff was really accommodating! Bathrooms were clean too. Not great AC since they are open to the outside, but still a great place to sit in the shade, get a cold drink an bite to eat, and cool off. read more

The ambience has an energetic, fun and friendly vibe. The baristas are always cheerful and knowledgeable. The specialty beverages are amazing. My only issue is that if you settle for the house drip it is consistently over extracted and bitter. In conclusion for the best experience, spend a little more and get a drink you'll really enjoy! read more

As soon as you walk in it feels so inviting, with seats outside and in. The display of fresh baked (delicious) treats grabs your attention. And the coffee and tea are a must! We ordered a cappuccino and lavender earl grey iced tea... and couldn't resist getting some shortbread and a cowboy cookie. It's wonderful to walk in and feel welcomed with a smile!. Helpful service makes the visit feel special. read more

Every time I make the drive back to Orange County I always make a pit stop in Oceanside to visit Revolution Roasters. This place has all the coffee shop vibes you could want, great outdoor seating and amazing customer service. The standout for me is definitely the Iced Butterscotch Latte. It's the perfect balance between sweetness and butterscotch while letting the coffee still shine through. I also think the prices are very reasonable for all their drinks and small bites. Would I go again? Absolutely! read more

I tried matcha at 3 different places in Oceanside and this place was by far the best. I do a matcha americano over ice, no milk, unsweetened, so the matcha is important. This had a vibrant green color and tasted great. The food was also fantastic. We had coffee cake, a scone, a pop tart thing, and omg, the breakfast sandwich on focaccia (so good!) and the avocado toast with heirloom tomato on perfectly crunchy, chewy bread with the perfect amount of coarse salt. Their kitchen is killing it. Beautifully presented and delicious. The coffee is roasted a little light for our taste. Even with third wave sensibilities, just a little lean. Tried a dark roast PNG pour over, which I don't recommend. Their pour over game needs work. The grind was too course, the extraction too fast, and instead of a kettle for the proper temp they use the hot water from the brewer. Under extracted, not good. Barring the pour over there's a lot to like here. read more

Stopped by Revolution Roasters in Oceanside for a quick breakfast with my sister, and it was a great start to the day! She ordered the Ube Matcha, which was absolutely beautiful before we mixed it--then it turned into a bit of a "swamp" color, but still tasted delicious. I went with the seasonal coconut iced coffee, and while I wish it had a bit more coconut flavor, it was still really good. The highlight of our visit was definitely the smoked salmon toast--I added tomato to it, and I highly recommend doing the same. It was so fresh and flavorful! The service was super quick, and I'll definitely be back to try more from their menu! read more

One of my favorite places to visit while in Oceanside. They have a lot of unique beverages and flavors crafted in-house- especially their winter spice lattes. Their pastries are awesome, but they are a bit on the sweeter side for my liking, but who doesn't enjoy a good homemade poptart. They had blood orange and maple. read more

Revolution Roasters is hands down the best coffee shop around. The coffee is always top-notch--smooth, bold, and full of flavor without ever tasting burnt or bitter. You can tell they put real care into roasting and crafting every cup. The vibe inside is eclectic and welcoming, the kind of place you can sit and relax, catch up with a friend, or even get some work done. The staff are always friendly and make you feel like a regular, even if it's your first time in. Their pastries and toasts are also amazing--fresh, creative, and the perfect pairing with a latte. Revolution Roasters truly nails it every time, and it's become my go-to spot. Highly recommend! Some of my favorite things to order : ham and cheese croissant Iced vanilla latte with cinnamon and add cold foam Avocado toast Chipotle BLTA (seasonal) Anything in the pastry box Even when they change it up there's nothing that will miss ! read more

Hot Maple latte and Iced Butterscotch Latte both watered down. The Hot Maple Latte lacked in the taste department with the maple flavor. Barely a hint. Though the coffee wasn't bad like bitter, it just didn't have much impact on flavor. I loved the art foam design though. Neither did the Butterscotch Latte which tasted like a regular latte. Ambience was nice, staff was nice. read more

FKN WHOA. THOSE ARE SOME GOOD BEANS. (5 stars) I love love love local roasters. - DRINKS: really good - PRICE: fair - SERVICE: good - AMBIANCE: typical This coffee shop is known amongst Oceansiders and making a name for itself. First location is in South O and starting to branch downward. Lot of people traffic, handful of skillful and friendly baristas crafting clean foam art in timely fashion. When I had questions about the roasting and the beans and their blends, I believe I either talked to the owner or manager and kept me informed. There is a bean for everyone! Most places you see medium and dark roast. Well they have decaf, light, medium, medium/dark, and dark Decaf "Minus the Edge" - Columbia Light "Holy Goat" - Ethiopia Medium "La Amiga"- Columbia Medium/dark "Giant's Head"- didn't say but I assume part Columbia part Papa NG Dark "Night Shift" - Papa New Guinea (DECAF) VANILLA LATTE ($6) - #teamdecaf. You only know I take my decaf beans only if they are Swiss Water Processed (or mountain water processed). This is the go-to when you want to be basic. With whole milk, I like the fatty and creamy taste (I can't do that oat milk stuff). Took this hot as hot always allows me to sip and taste instead of quench thirst with bigger gulps. Their vanilla syrup is made in-house and uses real vanilla beans which is also visible in the drink. You can see the fresh vanilla bean specs in your drink. Omg leveling up! It's subtle where my drink doesn't taste full on vanilla. This allowed me to taste the flavor profile of their decaf beans without searching. The bean was very very very smooth and no tartness or acidity- as with most decaf. I immediately identified chocolate and had to take a few sips to taste a little bit of sweetness/fruity yet buttery aftertaste... like toasted marshmallow. Although warm outside, I enjoyed every warm sip on a warm day. HIGHLY RECOMMEND I've learned to identify this flavor because I love s'mores and burning the crap out of my marshmallows. That Maillard reaction is giving new flavors. When heat is applied to sugar, it breaks down to tinier molecules that react with each other and create new flavors that we tend to be drawn to without thinking about the why factor that flavor comes to existence from its source. Example, with toasted marshmallows it gives fruity, nutty, and buttery. I am OK driving all the way up this far north to the most northern north county area to enjoy my sips. Keep it special! JABA APPROVED. Until the next review... read more
