10/10 on customer service! Friendly, positive, smiling faces and a very good vibe! We had a honey and cinnamon latte and a cereal milk latte- both were very good with a solid coffee taste. We will absolutely come back when we are in Redding! read more

Started our road trip from Sacramento to Oregon with this quaint little coffee shop! We arrived around 7:45am. Parking was easy to snag. The ambience is exactly what I look for in a coffee shop. Confident and experienced baristas who know exactly what they're doing. They were able to help make suggestions and fill me in on the seasonal food items. The brick wall, large windows, and endless seating options really made the area feel open. The food and drinks came out very fast. The coffee was delicious, pastries were good. After finishing up our early morning coffee and snack we headed over to the Photo Booth located in the main seating area and took some memorable pictures. Bathrooms are very clean! Staff gave us a code, no issues or delay. Overall we had a very nice time. Thanks for starting out our trip right! read more

Very much a local hipster spot I got a lavender latte for my 8hr road trip and probably the best ham croissant I've ever had! Worth it if you are passing through. read more

I went here hoping for a chill place to get some work done - nope! The line was long, service was slow, and the place was loud with many different meet-ups. The Spring Spritz was almost undrinkable because of the espresso. The pastry I had was great though! It was a lemon blueberry "muffin". It was more like cake! read more

The staff here was extremely accommodating, i had a large order. The barista was making drinks, talking with coworkers, and still managed to get my entire order right through memory ( which had a lot of substitutions & additions to the original drinks and sandwiches) To say i was impressed is an understatement. All in all, staff was extremely kind and friendly, the ambiance of the shop was very relaxing and welcoming, our drinks were perfect, and the sandwiches are great as well. I will definitely be returning. read more

FANTASTIC COFFEE!! I drink my coffee black and am super critical. This coffee was so rich, so rounded, just delicious! The pastries are over the top! Breakfast buns almost the size of your head.

$8 for a cup of coffee in Redding and its not that great! I asked for one pump of sweetener, still super sweet. Supposedly only have one size. Will not be returning. Lady in front needs lesson in customer service. read more

Ummm... one word, gem. Great coffee, perfect croissants and nice staff. The decor is industrial more than homey, but doesn't take away from the great pastry selection and excellent coffee. Worth a stop! read more

Theory Coffee Roasters - Large latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Redding, California

it was my first time trying this place out and i immediately loved the vibe in here! the music isn't too overwhelming and there's lots of space to study or do work. i got the bacon quiche and honestly it's SO worth the $9 only if it's eaten fresh. my partner got the brioche breakfast sandwich for $11 and it was pretty good! the sauce that it comes with tastes like wasabi so just beware of that! honestly the oh christmas tree wasn't my favorite and i don't recommend. it tasted like $7 milk /: service was very quick! it was pretty busy but i got my order within 10 minutes. i recommend giving this spot a try! read more

Cool place coffee tasted good after lots of screw ups - two lattes with some slight modifications were forgotten and then finally made - incorrect - nice people - good coffee - but needs a little more attention to detail. read more

Best vegan latte I've had in a long long long time. The oatmilk was formed perfectly without any burned taste. It was 10/10. I appreciated the military discount too. Highly recommend!! read more

The coffee we ordered was very good and the service was fine. The $9 "Bacon Quiche"...not so much. Potatoes were the main ingredient. It was overcooked and heavy and I think I did have a bacon crumb in it. I would go again for coffee but skip the quiche. read more

Writing this review on behalf of my friend who stopped here two times. She said that both times the coffee tasted amazing, the service was fast, and the atmosphere was great as well! The male baritsta made an amazing late art on Sunday 6/30 at 1 pm. Thank you! read more

Great Coffee Spot with Gluten-Free Options! During our annual hiking trip in the Redding-Shasta area, my friends and I found Theory Coffee through Yelp, and I'm so glad we did! The café is trendy and cute, located near downtown with easy parking. As someone who needs gluten-free options, I was excited to see they offered both savory and sweet choices, and they had some unique drinks that were really good! The space is large with open rooms in the back, making it feel airy and welcoming. It was busy, but the staff was efficient, and people were getting served quickly. We were in and out without a long wait, which was great. If you're in the area, I'd definitely recommend stopping by for a coffee and a bite, especially if you're gluten-free! read more

This seems to be the best place in town to get a pastry. Whether or not it's made from scratch doesn't really matter because I can't tell the difference. Donuts, pastries are bomb. Sticky buns however are just too rich, brown butter frosting on top is just too much for me. Cream cheese contrasts better in my opinion. Coffee is good if you like a lighter roast. I prefer dark but coffee is still fire read more

My new work spot when I am up for business in Redding! Coffee is so delicious, and not acidic-tasting. The food is delicious, and the pastries are delectable. Staff is kind. Lots of seating in the large front and back areas. Only one couch. Lots of outlets around. read more

The pour over I got was $6.50 worth of troubled water. Ditch the machine, guys--it's got your ratios tragically wrong! Cool place though, great seating. I hear their espresso drinks are good. Next time I'm in town, I'll go for one instead of the regular coffee route. read more

Theory was a lovely little coffee shop with a calm, modern vibe. Everyone was very professional and did a very good job making their drinks. I had a nice tea that was perfect on the cooler day and my husband had a pour over of their Ethiopian blend. He said that it grew and changed with every sip and had nice tasting notes of caramel and chocolate with an ashey (in a good way) undertone. We were comfortable hanging out here for quite some time, catching up with an old friend. Would absolutely love to come back again when we're in the area! read more

Great coffee and breakfast pastries! I enjoyed an almond croissant while my husband and my friend had the breakfast sandwich. A vegan friend went for a bagel. All were great! read more

This is my favorite coffee shop in Redding! The ambiance is cool and the service is good. We ordered a hot green tea and a hot black tea, along with two breakfast sandwiches and a lemon cruffin The tea was delicious! The lemon cruffin was out of this world! Flaky, flavorful and delicious! Both my boyfriend and I decided we are going back to Theory tomorrow to get another one! The breakfast sandwiches were also very good. They were comprised of bacon, cheese, arugula, egg on a brioche bun. There was a honey mustard sauce on the side. Even though they are pre-assembled, they tasted fresh I look forward to visiting Theory again and again! read more

Waited for 30 mins for my cappuccino and then had to leave unfortunately! Hope to try it out next time!

Visited around 9:00 a.m. and the line was already super long (~10 people ahead of us). The wait was definitely worth it. I had the iced drip coffee and breakfast sandwich. The drip coffee had solid flavor and the breakfast sandwich was the perfect breakfast, which included bacon, egg, arugula, etc. My group was also a big fan of the breakfast sandwich. We agreed that it's one the best. Overall: Coffee is great! Breakfast sandwich was perfect! If I'm ever in the area again, I'm definitely stopping by. read more

Customer service was awful. The employees were disrespectful and rude. Coffee however is good so that's why I go.

Terrible service and very disappointing food and beverage. One piece of under cooked bacon and a sliver of egg on an 11$ sandwich!?! Latte only came in a small size and was half filled . Our first and last time going to Theory coffee roaster read more

Sunday Morning Latte AMAZING! Great friendly service! Definitely a must stop if in the area.

We got the vanilla latte and the island boi (coconut milk coffee). The vanilla latte was the better out of the two but we wish there was more coffee taste. The island boi was on the bitter side. The service was great and parking was a breeze. The interior design was modern and aesthetic. There are two bathrooms as well. read more

This coffee lounge is dressed in Modern decor with ample parking around the building (there's a street behind the building with lots of parking) is a busy little bee with a steady flow of customers. They do have some bakery items but espresso is their focus. I thought the prices were a bit high as I paid $6.60 for a 16oz iced vanilla latte that only had two shots of espresso in it. An additional two shots would have cost me another $3. I ended up taking less milk to make it stronger so I paid $7.99 for a 12oz iced coffee. The coffee was terrific with my customizations. I haven't found a better place in Redding, but I'm going to continue searching because the cost is so high for so little espresso (a large should be three shots minimum). read more

Since these reviews are all so incredible and someone drove 4 hours for this espresso.... I had to stop here while visiting from Alaska! Asked the barista to make me his favorite espresso drink and HOLY WOW oat milk latte, with maple, vanilla, and a little bit of salt. WOW. Also; bought a bag of coffee beans per suggestion of some locals, I am SO excited to take this home. Ordered a brioche breakfast sammich and my friend got a cruffin, we now understand why it's one of the favorites holy shit it's good. This sandwich is so fluffy but somehow so hearty at the same time. I'm obsessed. The vibe here is also so cute, I would loveeee to come here and get some work done or just chill and read a book: they have a line out the door and it doesn't stop, but I see why!! They're efficient and work through it quickly, though. And I LOVE that it's owned and operated by veterans!! Five stars all the way, I'd give it more if I could!! read more

Came here on our way out of Lassen. It has really nice seating inside. Chai latte ($5.50) - very milky. Didn't have a lot of spice for a chai. Pumpkin spice latte ($6) - taste like a latte with a slight bitterness. Does not have any pumpkin spice flavor. Was very disappointed in their seasonal special. I've had better pumpkin spice lattes at major chain coffee shops. Overall, our drinks did not have a lot of flavor. read more

Visited this place bright and early before heading to Lake Shasta Caverns one summer morning. Got my usual order in every coffee shop - matcha latte and pan au chocolat. I liked that it was not served in a disposable cup, which I think adds to the vibe and aesthetic when drinking a hot drink. However, other people from our party received theirs in a disposable cup. The matcha was good and their pastries were solid. The place is pretty popular in Redding and I noticed it getting packed just within the hour of opening it's doors. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. I would come back again if I'm in the area. read more

Came here early on a Sunday morning for some coffee. Upon doing my research this was supposed to be the best place in town and my research was not wrong. This place has at least 2 locations which I've been to, but I prefer the downtown location. Has a bit of a warmer and more chill atmosphere. The staff were very friendly. We ordered two single origin espresso shots. We also got a croissant as the baked goods were very impressive with the bake. The shots were pulled very well and were highly enjoyable. Based on the quality of the product, I believe this shop would be competitive in a larger market such as Sacramento or San Francisco. I would definitely return here. read more

Wish we had time to stop & enjoyed the coffee there as it they had nice seating area with couches and looks like there charging capability if you needed to do some work on a laptop. I had the butter beer latte which was pretty good and definitely reminds you off butter beer at universal studios. Cold brew with cold foam was ok. Pastries looks delicious and tasty as my kiddos devoured plain croissant (huge!) and the toasted butter waffles! I had the Samoa donut! AMAZING! I wished I had gotten another because I did NOT wanted to share after the first bite! MUST HAVE! Your tummy will thank me later. read more
