    Service 9/10, space 9/10, coffee 8/10 I got a latte with coconut milk and I'm pretty happy with it. I've had coffee with more flavor for sure but it's great none the less. But, alternative milk for only .25¢?! That turned a 4 star into a 5 star for sure. The space is huge & beautiful, they also have a wine & coffee club that sound like a really good idea if you're a local. This is definitely a spot where you can stop by, enjoy a show, take a cooking class and have a full on coffee and/or wine experience

    We were walking around the village and came across this coffee shop, walked in and found it to be interesting. It looks like a shared space with a winery because there were barrels inside. There was also ads for comedy and music so it seems like a pretty active venue. I got a caramel latte and the actual coffee part was very good. However, they put too much syrup in for my taste, it was too sweet. The cashier/barista was OK, not very friendly, but not rude. If I was in the area again, I would probably give it another try. It's right next to a Starbucks but my preference is always to give small businesses a chance.

    Sleeping Tiger Coffees is located near the Carlsbad Village Fair Shops. We waited quite some time because the only barista on duty was "upstairs"(?), so we meandered around the space while we waited. The interior design is charming and rustic with its tall, dark wood chairs and tables, and its barrels lining the perimeter of the floor. The lighted chandelier and Christmas decor lent a festive aura to the place. There's also an outdoor seated area, where vintage, antique-esque items housed in a sort of shed are available for sale. I ordered an iced vanilla bean latte, which was a recommended menu item that ended up being a little overpriced and pretty standard in flavor. Not sure if I would come back for the coffee, but Sleeping Tiger Coffees seems to share their interior space with another establishment...and it looks like they have live music nights! Cute!

    Wifi is pretty good.

    We stopped in for a change of pace while working. We started with a couple of coffees and they were both good. An Americano and a cold brew. Since they are paired with Witch Creek Winery we finished work and had some wine when the live music started. The bourbon barrel aged Cabernet was pretty good. We've had other bourbon barrel cabs and they didn't have a great taste. The merlot was also very good. Not too sweet and a little earthy. The setting is very cozy and there's a lot of seating. The live music wasn't overly loud.

    Need I say more when I say this place is perfect? Coffee or drinks, really great!!! Came to meet friends for coffee which then turned into drinks haha Service was really nice. My first time having drinks there and when we sat at the bar a few ladies down were chatting with our server and leans over and says "he's the best" love how much people loved this place to even lean over and say something. Needless to say, he was, giving us samples of their homemade sangria. They have a cute out door seating are as well

    Coffee & wine bar! We were a bit lost in the busy shopping area.. but this place is right next to Starbucks on the corner! Atmosphere is very cozy with indoor and outdoor dining, cute place!! I ordered the wild rose latte, not too sweet with floral fruity notes. Yum!!

    We got a latte from here and it was just okay, and not one of our favorites from the coffee shops in the area. The coffee flavor was just off. The customer service was also just okay. I wouldn't come back here. If you are trying to decide on coffee in the area, we really like The Goods and Vinaka Cafe.

    Average coffee at best! A cute little coffee shop that doubles as a wine bar at night, but it's the morning roasting of coffee that I experienced. The coffee is light, and seems to lack any boldness that a typical roaster would offer. Just not a recommended coffee stop in my opinion, but very nice wine bar option at night potentially!

    Cute place inside of witch creek wineey. They had this drink called cold brew shandy. Its cold brew with lemonde. It is actually really refreshing and dont need mklk or sugar with the drink. Its my new fav drink.

    In between a nice glass of wine or coffee/tea options. No worries here, you can get both at one time. Sleeping Tiger Coffee provides, a great hand out environment to a let's get some work done space. You can get a bite to eat, drink of your choice and enjoy some live music. (Friday- Sunday) Restroom is available with a key and a nice outside seating area in a restored greenhouse.

    Nice selection of coffee and tea and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The staff was helpful and the shop was super clean and pleasant. I had the chai tea latte with oat milk and my husband had a tea.

    The coffee bar

    Sleeping Tiger Coffees in Carlsbad, CA-- this coffee spot is as unique as its name! While the latte I got was quite good, I really love this place for how they've designed the space! When you want in, the coffee bar is to the right, a wine bar to the left, and live music in the back! It makes for a seemless transition from your afternoon cup of joe to your evening wine spritzer! Plus there's an adorable small outdoor garden with tables if you're feeling like sipping some espresso surrounded by succulents! Pro-tip: check in on the Yelp App for 15% off!

    Really unique spot! The batista was super sweet giving us all the info on the place. They have live music Thursday-Sunday which is something I definitely want to check out! Great coffee selection and wine tasting.

    Looooooove the mural on the side of the building!

    Expensive. Atmosphere is very uncomfortable and unwelcoming. Beans smell delicious but that doesn't justify the ludicrous prices.

    Excellent cup of joe! Really good grind. The best thing is they're actually open, unlike the other coffee franchise a couple of doors down.

However, my friends from North County highly recommended this establishment and kindly invited me to join them. The outdoor seating is spacious and inviting, creating a pleasant atmosphere. The friendly service adds to the overall experience. Initially, I was contemplating getting a coffee, but my friend insisted on trying the matcha. And let me tell you, you won't regret it. As I mentioned earlier, I'm not usually a fan of matcha, and I often end up regretting it and discarding it. But this time, I was pleasantly surprised. I was thoroughly satisfied and regained my trust in matcha. My friend opted for pastries, and she thoroughly enjoyed them, even devouring them.

This place has such a loyal following that people will happily walk a few blocks just to get their Revo fix. One of my favorite things is their seasonal menu. I've learned to fully embrace each special while it's here because once it's gone, it's gone. Right now, I'm completely obsessed with the Coconut Mango Sticky Rice Matcha. I'm pretty sure the baristas recognize me as "the Sticky Rice Matcha lady" at this point! I'm soaking up every sip while it's in season, and although I'll be sad when it's gone, I know they'll surprise me with something amazing next season. Their food is just as impressive. The toast is delicious, they use Prager Brothers bread, organic avocado, and fresh tomatoes, and you can really taste the difference that quality ingredients make. It's refreshing to find a café that clearly cares about food integrity. Another huge bonus for me is that they offer almond milk. So many coffee shops default to oat milk, but I appreciate having another option that fits my preferences. The only downside is the parking. My strategy is simple: go early if you can. Once it gets busy, finding a spot can be an adventure. But even with that minor inconvenience, Revolution Roasters is absolutely worth the trip. Incredible coffee, thoughtful seasonal drinks, quality ingredients, and a team that clearly cares about what they serve. Easy five stars.

Mike and the entire team at Dreamwave are doing such an incredible job of making the experience worth every penny. The quality of the coffee, the work they do, and the service they provide is truly top tier. While they do have a lot of fun flavors, this is not the kind of place that drowns the palate with sweetness. They expertly balance the ratio of syrup, milk, and espresso to provide the best outcome. The nuttiness of their roast really shines, and they're always happy to adjust the sweetness if you need them to. Personally, I love the lower sweetness level being the default. These guys know what they're doing! We've been visiting for the past week and have stopped through Dreamwave four times this week. While I'm always in the need of a coffee fix, we've gone out of our way to visit multiple times because the people have been so beyond kind. We've sampled most of the house flavors and I can confidently say they have all been delicious. This would definitely be my go-to shop if I lived nearby.
