We stop for coffee here every time we are in the village. They staff could not be nicer, and it's a really cool spot to hang out. I love that they offer every kind of milk possible. My favorite is the cold brew vanilla bean latte with coconut milk. We will definitely keep coming back. Trust me. Keep walking right past Starbucks. It's so worth it. read more

Wow! What a full bodied, not burnt, roasty toasty flavor. I savor each sip, not to mention the awesome fact they are playing "Tame Impala" in the background. read more

Nice quaint little coffee shop right next to the winery. Baristas are friendly and coffee is strong yet smooth taste. read more

Great coffee. Always super fresh. They have Chemex and pour over for more discerning pallets

Nice coffee shop that doubles as the Witch Creek Winery. Vanilla Bean Latte was delicious and the Cold Brew was good as well.

My coffee experiences; Consistently tasty coffee. Great customer service. Nice atmosphere. Convenient and usually very little waiting. 'For here' cups and some light pastries to compliment coffee. Seems somewhat dog and kid friendly. I come here for coffee often and I've had some of the (limited selection) pastries/bagels w/coffee . The space has really nice rustic winery feel but I could look a little cleaner. I guess it is a working space too so there will be some of that. Would be amazing if the patio had a kid friendly corner or something given the amount of parents and kids that frequent. Highly recommended! read more

One of the best espresso i ever had; it was Kenya bean, enough acidity and great after taste; great barista.

Will totally come back here! The coffee was absolutely delicious and I'd love to try some of their wine in he future as well. Perfect detour before a road trip back up the coast. read more

Great coffee. Nice environment. Perfect location. I would come here again before a beach walk.

Great spot for coffee, tea and lounging. They have a large outdoor patio which was peaceful - great place to get some work done. Love the sleeping tiger logo and theme. read more

Honestly the best coffee I've ever had. French Press Guatemalan single source. I wish I lived closer I would go every day.

Great coffee, they even roast it on site! Friendly staff, we were welcomed by the GM Julian, he explained a lot about the place and what he's got planned...very cool concept and great place to hang out, can't wait for that patio to open next week! read more

First I tried drinking their drip coffee -- and could not! Rancid! The woman at the counter then made me an Americano. Again, I could not drink it. It tasted the same as the drip swill did. Awful! read more

Long time resident of Carlsbad and somehow I've never been here till recently. Highly recommend! The green tea is amazing.

We stumbled upon this place and I just wanted some fresh black coffee. What I found was a Super Knowledgeable Barista that made sure I received the coffee I wanted. They also have a wine club I might be interested in for $37 per month with no contracts! This was a Great experience for sure!!! read more

Inside the Witch Creek Winery. The coffee is pretty good and the ambience inside the winery is an added plus. Only comment would be for them to add some tables near electrical outlets to do work at and encourage you to stay and buy more coffee. Otherwise a great cup of coffee and fresh made syrups. read more

This is a nice chill place with good coffee, mocha's and cappuccinos on one side and a rustic looking wine bar on the other. Right on PCH this beats the monster coffee chain (right next door). I will be coming back for wine. read more

My wife and I found this place on our way from Irvine to Encinitas. We stopped in for a quick coffee and latte and were pleasantly surprised with the ambiance and quality of coffee. Would definitely recommend to any discerning coffee drinker. read more

Coffee there is incredible! The people that work there are patient, but again the coffee!!! The Bengal medium blend is my absolute favorite to drink at home. But the iced vanilla lavender latte is my go-to! Enjoying a coffee inside and even their outside patio- is awesome, both are designed to make you want to stay longer! I love the atmosphere! read more

Awesome roaster in Carlsbad. The barista was very friendly and was definitely knowledgeable when it came to coffee. Will visit again!

Look forward to coming here evert time I'm in Carlsbad. They roast their own beans and the baristas know what their doing.

This is not just a winery that serves coffee, this is a full service espresso bar and specialty coffee place! Who knew! They even roast their coffee on location! Fantastic spot right by the coast, definitely worth a visit! read more

This coffee shop was our favorite find on our recent trip to Carlsbad! The care and craftsmanship that goes into their coffee is obvious. We ordered their americanos and iced lattes everyday. Probably the best coffee I've ever had! They even roast their own beans and make their own syrups- including a delicious cardamom flavored syrup. The manager and barista (Micah) who served us were friendly and helpful. They also sell delicious pastries from a local bakery. They are conveniently located and the best option for coffee in the village. read more

I spend a few weeks every summer in Carlsbad and was thrilled to see a local coffee joint near my apartment. This place is the real deal. The espresso and coffee drinks are meticulously crafted and far more affordable than somewhere like Starbucks, with a flavor and depth that you can't find at a chain. From cold brew to Chemex to cortados to lattes with spiced apricot syrup made in house, this place has what you're looking for. I won't be going anywhere else. Also, the baristas here rock. read more

Every time I come to Carlsbad this is my "go to" coffee place. I am usually here in the early morning so I can't judge the afternoon entertainment crowd and wine except for when I walk by but it's always crowded. The coffee is awesome in the morning and way better than Starbucks. Just walk one more business down from the mass produced burnt coffee of Starbu*ks and enjoy Sleeping Tiger. The two employees who helped me over the last 5 days were great. Thank you. read more

Fantastic cold brew! One of the bests I've had in San Diego county. I purchased a bag of their fresh roasted coffee. I haven't tried it yet but it smells great and the barista ground it on the spot for me. He also gave me an extra free cold brew since they were out of their fresh brewed hit coffee that they give as samples. Can't wait to go back! It's also attached to a winery that I'm excited to try. read more

Great atmosphere! Great drinks! Great barista! Come here to get drinks! Forget Starbucks!

If you are looking for a place to relax, study, work or chill. This is the one.It's not a breakfast spot or lunch cafe. It is a true coffee house where one can appreciate the flavors of espresso. read more

So good! I ordered an iced hazelnut latte and it was delicious! The staff was knowledgeable and gave great drink suggestions.

Great little spot. Plenty of indoor seating. Coffee menu is pretty straight forward. Got a cold brew for the road, no need for sugar or milk. Nice flavor. Always happy to support local business. read more

The coffee is fresh and roasted on site, way better than Starbucks. If you want a real authentic coffee taste, come here. Excellent service and professionalism as well! read more

This place is top-notch! Perfectly roasted (behind the counter), single origins and blends. Fallon pulled some of the best espresso I've had in a long time. I'm a specialty coffee professional with over 10 years experience, and this is THE spot! If you want to have a coffee epiphany, Sleeping Tiger will wake you up ;) read more

What a beautiful space to relax, study, work or chill. It's not a breakfast spot or lunch cafe. It is a true coffee house where one can appreciate the flavors of espresso, pour overs and single origin delicacies. Teas and fresh pastries, small packaged energy bars and snacks available. What a gem! It's not pretentious or hipster. Just like it's partner winery, it's a space to unwind and appreciate the flavors of life! An easy place to connect with others, meet up with friends or have a friendly business meeting. There is a separate space with communal table outside, to host a gathering or small event. Much appreciated location to escape from the often noisy, fast paced, business of other coffee shops. I'm grateful for the spaciousness of being here. Very creative spot for entrepreneurs. Happy one year anniversary! ONE SUGGESTION TO THE OWNER AND MANAGER: you have an exceptional Barista working today. And yet when there is a line of people at the coffee bar, and you have 3+ people preparing for a baby shower, you STILL could have taken 5 minutes to jump in and clear the line of people waiting to order and pay. Missed opportunities and frankly, you have such an extraordinary Barista, I'd hire him away in a heartbeat. #Teamwork ;) read more

The coffee is awesome and the whole venue is unlike a traditional coffee shop, it's very cocktail like!! Not to mention you are just a block away from the beach so there is a nice marine breeze and salt water smell. Highly recommend this place. Cons: Needs more food choices. read more

The wine bar looks pretty and sophisticated but the café...looks like they forgot to finish the place. And seems they are designed by two totally different minds, one style for the bar and one for the café. Different owners? They have an area for private events, looked pretty, couldn't see it closer, there was a party going on. Might return for wine tasting but not for a coffee again. read more

very good coffee, interesting location, no comfortable seating, very good to socialize and meet with friends, not so great to take laptop and books and work from. also space looks interesting to host events. read more

Walked here from the beach with my friends and got a coconut latte with soy milk. It's the cutest little space with pretty good coffee. I also love that all of the syrups are house-made. Such a nice touch. Also, the when the barista noticed that my friend had a hot chocolate from the Starbucks next door, he made him another hot chocolate for FREE to show him just how much better it was. Super cool, personal barista, which is always nice. read more

The stars are aligning. Excellent coffee and wine housed under one roof. I love Sleeping Tiger's lattes and bacon/cheese croissants. Nitro cold brew, teas, great outdoor/indoor seating. From now on, I will be walking right past Starbucks and getting my coffee here. read more

Innocently strolling along the 101, enjoying the sea breeze morning with my baby, and an aroma of coffee, whipped its lasso around my waist and curled me in. The coffee chose me so to speak. "How did I end up here? Who am I? What am I?" Nervously standing at the counter and gathering my wits, the barista approaches. "Am I ready, shoot, what do I want? She's staring, waiting, judging." My attention was quickly shifted to my 11 month old, who started to act as if my arms were lava. "Play it cool," I think as I order. Her face, blank, no expression, no hello, no smile, no witty coffee greeting...nothing. She was colder than the ice, sending chills down my spine. She glanced at the baby, I'm pretty sure I saw her gag (I get it kids aren't for everyone). I quickly blurted out my order, in no time it arrived with its clever artistic foam leaf that I'll quickly cover with a lid, or attempt to cover. As I wrangle the baby in one arm and pay with the other, she hands me the piping hot coffee without the lid (perhaps to see the art?). As the baby is reaching for the coffee to really test out what lava feels like, I quickly pull him away. The barista stands there and stares- nothing, no help, no offer to grab a lid nothing. As I search for the lids, I see that they are closer to her than me, a simple assist would have been much appreciated. I should have asked for help but I didn't. Baristas can be so intimidating, right?!? The good news is, no one was injured, the bad news is, the service is about as dry and non friendly as sleeping on a cactus in the desert. Coffee was okay- a little burnt in my opinion - but I do not claim to be a coffee czar. Ambiance, was nice, good music, but the people were not friendly. Two other people working there were not friendly - no smiles which I consider odd for a place that is there to provide a happy treat for people. read more

Great decor... you can have space to sit outside and enjoy your coffee ( I am an espresso drinker and I have to say their espresso was good ). Staff was ok read more
