Sleeping Tiger Coffees
2906 Carlsbad Blvd, Carlsbad, CA
Crema's Take
“Sleeping Tiger Coffees wins you over with genuinely excellent espresso-based drinks and smooth drip coffee at prices that feel like a steal, all served in a quirky, cozy space that somehow feels both a little offbeat and deeply welcoming. Their baristas are friendly and attentive, the outdoor patio is a gem for lingering, and the varied seating means you can settle in whether you're meeting a friend, catching up on work, or just killing time before your train—just stick to their coffee drinks and skip the matcha. It's the kind of neighborhood spot that deserves way more attention than its accidental discovery by people heading to the Starbucks next door.”

We got two drinks Dirty chai latte, which was fantastic! Matcha latte, not too good. Chunky matcha and mild taste. Mostly tasted milk. Would stick to coffee based drinks!
Atmosphere: very quirky but cozy Parking: village parking Coffee: very good, just got a drip coffee but was smooth and tasty Price: cheaper than most! Seating: varied options (high tables, regular tables, lower tables with comfortable chairs Vibe: feels a little like a coffee shop, wine tasting room, and an antique store smushed together Will be back for sure!
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 lounge around.
Great coffee! Staff very friendly here and the place is very safe with covid protocols and social distancing. Able to drink our glorious coffees in their outdoor patio. Need to come back for the wine tasting!!
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 out for pups
