Crema's Take
“Soul Rebel Coffee is a charming Calistoga spot where the owner Christine personally crafts every drink with genuine warmth and expertise, creating an unexpectedly personal experience that keeps locals coming back. Their signature creative drinks like the dirty chai latte showcase an espresso-focused menu that balances traditional coffees with inventive specials, best enjoyed on the outdoor patio or during their early morning hours when the café feels like a genuine community gathering place.”

Great experience today at Soul Rebel Coffee. The owner/barista was very nice and helped me decide on what drink to get. I ended up doing her iced chai latte with espresso (aka dirty chai) it was very good and flavorful, not like other chais that are all syrups and not spice! She let me know it wasn’t as sweet as other I may have had in the past before I ordered. If you’re a regular coffee drinker and never tried chai because you were worried about it being too sweet, you should definitely try it here, it’s a wonderful spice flavor and you can let the her know if you would enjoy some sweetness added. I enjoyed it as is, but people are different! I’m also a T1D, so not having to take much insulin for a latte was a plus! I’m not from Calistoga(just driving through, from Santa Rosa) and I’m excited to visit whenever I’m over here and try different drinks. Having a regular family operated coffee shop in your community is something to cherish. Hope to stop by again sometime soon!
Quaint coffee shop! Christine greeted us immediately and was charismatic and helpful. Her voice was cheerful and her eye contact made us feel welcomed right away. Excellent coffee too! We will return again 😉
Great spot for coffee and treats! Talked with the owner who bought the place 4 months ago. Excellent service, quality coffee, and a welcoming vibe. Highly recommend!
Lovely little café with great coffee and a wonderful personal touch — she makes everything herself, and it really shows. We love supporting this kind of business. Warm, positive vibe and a nice outdoor patio to enjoy your drink. We recommend the oat bars, the egg bites, and the oats for a healthy and filling breakfast.
Pictures and reviews are very misleading. I wish I looked deeper into the one star reviews before coming. The single staff member was fairly friendly but seemed to have no experience making coffee. There were four cups out at once and rather than making each cup at a time demonstrating the coffee craft in each coffee, the employee pulled several shots poured the amounts into each cup, let them sit on the counter while frothing a huge batch of milk and proceeded to just dump the milk into each cup….. I hate making reviews like this but the business advertises extreme care and quality for their coffee and yet these were made with such carelessness. The vanilla latte I got was super burnt and bitter; pretty close to a black coffee if you ask me. This place could easily turn this into a 5 star place again by starting with training every employee on creating the perfect cup of coffee. It seems like there are other staff that do take pride in making their coffee but unfortunately, I suppose, I didn’t come in at the right time. If you value your time and money please check out other coffee shops in the area while they figure out their business. I hate Starbucks and Starbucks is better than this…
