I am able to say that I have been coming to this coffee shop for five years and this shop is my all time favorite coffee shop. After traveling to numerous places and seeking coffee in every location I visit, none of them seem to serve coffee as exquisite as Steady State. They have serve such unique varietals of coffee and have one of the best environments I have seen in a coffee shop where you just want to relax. If you ever were to stop by in Southern California, this shop should be one of your first stops if you think about getting a quality cup of coffee.
I love this coffee shop! My favorite in the Carlsbad area. They made a splendid almond milk flat white. Their espresso is also quite nice. Lots of seating inside with Wi-Fi. Super friendly staff. Definitely swing by here next time you are near!
Definitely in my top 3 coffee shops.
Best coffee I’ve had! If you drink your coffee black, this is the best tasting coffee I’ve found, and makes me excited for my morning cup. I joined the Cool Beans subscription club over a year ago (since we moved out of the region) and am incredibly impressed with the quality of the coffees that arrive every month. These guys source and roast the most flavorful beans with incredible natural tasting notes.
Total delight to visit Steady State. Eric and the whole team were incredibly helpful and incredibly skilled. Best coffee I’ve had in recent memory. Really enjoyed the Pacamara - don’t miss it if you can get it.
Absolutely gorgeous cortado with their single origin El Paraíso from Colombia. I'm so happy we went out of our way to find them. Lovely interior design, beautiful MVP hydra machine, warm staff, indoor and outdoor seating space, and tasty pastries. One of the best coffees I've had in the USA.
Wasn't a fan of the lattes we ordered from here (mocha and Honey Please!). They came lukewarm and tasted watered down. Not to mention they charged $6 and $5.50 for such small sized drinks, respectively. We also ordered their chia oatmeal parfait and it was tasteless. I'm not sure why this place is rated so highly, but we won't be returning.
Hot, cold, espresso, tea … never met a drink i didn’t like at Steady State. Pancake syrup latte and rosemary latte are our favorite drinks. Espresso is smooth and strong. The cherry on top of it all is that steady has not only great coffee, but great people, too.Typically vegan pastry options available, too!
Best coffee taste, best drink aesthetic, best “for here” mug/saucer combos (the cups look huge??? Can’t tell if actually more liquid content or if it just feels that way). I’m always wired after a coffee from steady state. Wi-fi can be a liiiittle spotty.
Steady State has been my favorite local coffee shop for a steady 4 years. The simple menu can’t be beaten. This place is worth the price.
