    Revolution Roasters never misses. Great service, coastal vibe, and great drinks! This visit, I tried both of their seasonal summer drinks: the Mango Sticky Rice Matcha and the Campfire Latte. The Mango Sticky Rice Matcha had mango, coconut, and a coconut foam. The coconut flavor was absolutely delicious, but personally, I wanted a stronger matcha presence - it leaned a little too milky for my taste. If you're more into creamy tropical drinks, though, you'll probably love it. The surprise winner for me was the Campfire Latte. I'm usually not a mocha girl, but this one totally changed my mind. I ordered it half sweet, and it was perfect - smooth and balanced! The spiced dark chocolate paired so well with the marshmallow cold foam and graham cracker topping, and I especially loved the warm spices throughout the drink. Next time, I could definitely see myself ordering a cold brew with that marshmallow foam. Not pictured: the ham & cheese croissant, which is a must-order every single time I'm here. Flaky, savory, and consistently one of my favorites. Good seasonal specials and great food as always!

    We visited Carlsbad for a few days and had breakfast in Oceanside. We decided to try this coffee spot as it was right next to the breakfast joint we went to. Coffee 10/10 We ordered their vanilla latte with marshmallow cold foam and their coconut latte with toasted coconut cold foam. Both were incredible! The vanilla latte was not too sweet so the cold foam wasn't overkill at all. Both cold foams are more on the runny side and not too thick. The coconut latte was sooo tasteful. The coconut flavor definitely comes through. This was our first time trying a coconut latte and we were not disappointed. Food 9/10 We didn't order much food or pastries since we had breakfast prior but the pastries did look so good! We did get a salted shortbread to try and it was pretty solid. Vibes/Ambiance : 7/10 We came on a Tuesday morning and it was busy. The space is very spacious and there's plenty of seating area. There were people working there and hanging out. It's an open space so that was nice. The decor is minimal but cute. The staff is okay...I don't know if I'd describe as friendly, but they weren't rude. Not sure if it was the city as a whole but we didn't really feel welcomed or came across too many friendly people. It was the same here. Didn't interact much with us...just took our order and kept it pushing. lol not necessarily a bad thing but it was something we experienced a lot. Overall, the coffee was amazing here.

    My morning coffee run to Revolution Roasters fell a bit flat. The coffee was okay and the staff were pleasant, but I didn't leave satisfied. Our main goal of the morning was to try PopUp bagel around the corner, and we needed coffee for the line. We ordered the Coconut Latte & the Maple Latte. They were decent, but with the $1.25 up charge for almond milk, the two drinks were over $8. At that price point, my expectations are high and unfortunately they just weren't met. There's nothing inherently wrong with the coffee at Revolution Roasters so I wouldn't mind giving them another shot. Hopefully a better experience here is in my future.

    I drove up to go to Boomers for a school event, and yes, I hit some traffic in the afternoon. The drive made me sleepy, so on my way back, since now the traffic was heavier, I looked for some place to grab a coffee. Revolution came up and was close. Right off of Vista Way in Oceanside. Scored a spot right in front...must've been kismit! They have the regular coffees but also some signature drinks as well. But it looks like there's some seasonal coffees too. Friendly hello when it was my turn. Me: So what do you think, butterscotch or pistachio? He: I would say pistachio because sometimes the butterscotch is too sweet for some. Pistachio it was! So definitely inquire about the seasonal coffees because this was delicious! Great flavor and dark chocolate shavings on top. This helped keep me awake on my long drive home! Love that they're local! Also bought The Colores blend which they happily ground for me, and it is really good! Mellow flavor with a hint of dark chocolate finish. I now have a great spot to stop at if in the area and in need. They have great outdoor seating that's dog friendly, and a nice dining area.

    Outside seating area - cute little commons area with other restaurants & shops

    Yummiest coffee in Oceanside! We went twice when we were visiting and fell in love with this coffee shop! Not pictured but I also HAD to order the maple latte ... and it was delicious! The avo toast was so flavorful!! Many vegetarian options. The baristas were wonderful and so sweet! The shop was clean, organized and lively! Already looking forward to my next Oceanside trip so I can come here again!

    Ordered two butterscotch lattes and they were granular. I don't know if the syrup had crystallized or what happened but they weren't very good.

    Special treat! Small menu, but everything looks good on it. There can be a long line and difficult parking. Lots of outdoor seating. Great for families and dogs.

    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!!

    Revo Americano! Friendly staff and yummy pastries and savory food. Visible menu was fantastic because where ever you stood inline you could decide what you wanted to order. Coffee order was quick and ambiance was very clean with an open interior concept. I Brought my Popup Bagels to Revo and enjoyed them both on the patio!

    Monkey bread, would have been better warmed up.

    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.

    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 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

    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… 

    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 :)

It comes with the most delicious creamy sauce, and I always ask for a side of their green salsa because I'm a sauce girl. Such a good combo! The jalapeño cheddar with cream cheese is also amazing! This visit I tried the seasonal banana latte. The flavor was good, but the texture wasn't my favorite - though you can definitely tell it's made with real banana. I usually stick with their vanilla bean or honey cinnamon latte, which are still my top picks. I seriously crave Bound all the time. They have Wi-Fi, plenty of indoor seating, plus a few outdoor tables if you're looking to work or catch up with a friend. I didn't have room for dessert this time, but the scones and cookies looked incredible, so I'll definitely be back to try those soon!

First, couple months ago, I was left waiting for over 30 mins for a breakfast burrito, I thought they were just busy so I gave grace. I went up to ask the status and they told me the cook went to the store to get more tortillas...... didn't bother telling me or informing me. I directly reached out via IG and they gave me a $20 to come back, super nice of them!! Now, fast forward a few months, I had some time to myself this morning and wanted to enjoy coffee and a bagel. (Best sourdough bagels ever) it comes out and the jalapeños are completely blackened on the top like it was burnt to crisp, oh well I moved on and ate half. I began eating the next half and notice that they left the entire piece of paper on the cheese..... so now I'm left wondering did I just eat another piece of paper on the other side and didn't even notice?!! I take it in and tell them. They're super nonchalant about it and ask if I want a refund or another one. They ended up giving me a full refund and said sorry. 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.
