“ Excellent, coffee, almond croissant, service and atmosphere! Joined a friend for a morning coffee and conversation. We met the owner, Joel, who greeted us and we will visit again in the evening sometime soon. ”
“ Wow! The pumpkin spice latte here is unparalleled! Great service. Ample seating. Good music. Cute place. Will definitely be coming here a lot more! ”
“ I absolutely love this divine little spot! There are located inside a space that is lovely antique shop with some real special goodies, and a wine tasting bar. Every time I have come the women are just absolutely divine and is what makes this spot so special. I don't remember the wonderful women's name from my previous experiences but we would have such profound conversations. This time Corrina helped me and she truly made my day with her radiant kind connection!!! The coffee is always phenomenal and is just what my soul needs. As an added bonus getting to browse around the antique shop is really truly something special. I would highly recommend this lovely spot to anyone authentically seeking a genuine experience, as this place is so much more than a coffee shop. They have indoor and out door seating. They also offer some delicious muffins and baked goods. They are across the street from the beach and super conveniently located. ”
“ Uniqueness: Coffee and Winery? Wait Time: [x][x][x][x][x] Drink Quality: [x][x][x][x][ ] Service: [x][x][x][x][ ] Setting: [x][x][x][x][ ] Cost: [x][x][x][x][ ] It was a quick early stop here in the morning and got my self a nice cappuccino here. Quality was great and since it was morning, we were literally the only ones stopping by and it was just a single worker, so it felt slightly dead. Never experienced a coffee shop that was part winery so that was a definite plus on uniqueness! ”
“ While visiting Carlsbad for the day, I had heard about this local coffee/wine place from the YouTuber: California Thru My Lens. The service that the barrista gave us was amazing and the prices were INCREDIBLE! $12 for 3 medium iced signature coffees! Delicious and affordable. Lots of seating and the whole place was charming. They had chandeliers! We will definitely be back! Support small local businesses ”
“ 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 ”
“ Overall: 5/5 Return again: yes Recommend it: yup Taste: 5/5 house brew has nicely balanced flavors, not too strong and not too acidic Quality: 5/5 tasted fresh and of quality Service: 5/5 friendly with smiles Value: 5/5 smallest cup of house coffee was only $2-3 X-Factor: 5/5 close to our Spring Hill Suites stay and in the Carlsbad Village area, also 5 mins to the beach ”
