Sleeping Tiger Coffees — Restaurant in Carlsbad

We quite literally stumbled upon this place by accident en route to Starbucks, because they are physically right next to each other. Friends, do yourselves a favor and come here instead!

The coffee is sooo good. Super fresh, strong, and local. There aren't as many menu options as Starbucks, but you can of course customize your drink, and everything they do offer here, they make extremely well. They even offer oat milk!

Sleeping Tiger shares a space with Witch Creek Winery, and is fabulous in every aspect. The physical space is absolutely adorable. There's an outdoor "Garden Gift Shop" that is incredibly well curated. There are all sorts of trinkets, furniture, and succulents available to purchase, and everything is arranged in such an inventive way. There's a good sized patio, but most of the seats aren't covered. There is, however, a covered outdoor private area for large groups or events.

Lastly, Sleeping Tiger is dog friendly, which is such a nice bonus. They even have a few water bowls set...

Won’t come to Carlsbad without stopping here! I’ve had this place saved on my map for the longest and i finally got to try it out. I had a coffee called Misty Valley and it was honestly one of they best cups of coffee I’ve ever had. The beans had a vanilla blueberry taste that you were definitely able to smell and taste. Once you walk inside you’re able to notice that the place is split into two. On The right side they sold coffee and on the left they sold wine so everyone inside were drinking different things which was interesting. Outside they have this beautiful painting of sleeping tigers. Several people were stopping by to get a picture. The staff actually gave me several drink recommendations that i can’t wait to come...

This is honestly the cutest and greatest little spot I've ever had the opportunity to stop at while I waited for my train home. I would highly recommend checking out Tiger's authentic coffees as they roast all their coffee beans and have their own custom home made syrups that enhance the great flavours their coffee has to offer.

They have amazing coffee bean options, all of which taste as authentic as can be. Truly outcompeting that of the Starbucks next door, and quite affordable too.

Give it a try! Wifi is free and everyone is encouraged to...
