I loved this cafe. It's huge and spacious with plenty of mixed seating. The artwork displayed around is spectacular and sourced from the same artist I think, giving the place a chose theme. We ordered cappuccino, mocha, croissant, and a jalapeño bagel: everything was good. Service was quick and staff was friendly. Our favorite part was just hanging there for a good amount of time without feeling rushed. 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

Stopped by here on the way home. It's pricey but you will get amazing coffee and pastries. $37 for a pumpkin spice latte, pour over, bagel with cream cheese, plain croissant and a chai cookie. My husband was happy with the PSL. They fresh grate some spices on top which was nice. Everything is made fresh aside from the frozen bagel they toasted for my order. The pour over was amazing, I got the geisha and you really taste all the flavor notes on the description card. The plain croissant was very good, lots of light fluffy layers and butter. The bagel with cream cheese was good too. They have a few tables at front where you can sit with your dog. Otherwise there's plenty of seating inside. Service was very nice and the line moved quick. Come early, they seem to be quite popular and there can be a wait with the morning rush. 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

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

Genuinely one of the stupidest experiences I've had in a coffee shop ever. For some reason the order window and the register are not only not next to each other, they are pretty far apart from each other. This led to staff yelling our order across the coffee shop, only for the person at the register to say "I didn't hear that" and ring up our entire order wrong. We also asked to have our drinks in the reusable cups they sold ($5 each), which neither actually came out in. We were charged $17 for two drinks, and naturally I thought they included the cost of the cups because of the expensive pricing, but we were wrong. When the drinks did come out and I asked about the reusable cups, they charged me another $10 to get them. Even in the more expensive shops, $17 for a cold brew and a chai latte is insane. I would recommend avoiding them if you want to maintain some sanity. Anyways, the coffee was good. read more

Coffee and food are great. ambiance is very cool. The service is super over staffed. the shorter male on July at 12:00pm was unprofessional. He was too busy talking to coworkers to acknowledge line of 5 people that built up. Then he started talking again and forgot a drink. He was nice but needs to stay on task. read more

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

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

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

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 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
