Barista were very rude, they ignored me to talk with their friends and each other, while they did nothing. Two young guys, one with thick glasses. Personaility of paper cups and egos of ostriches.

Theory usually has good coffee but the shot they pulled was very bitter. Will only got to the Mt Shasta or Hilltop location after this.

Very cozy space with many large tables with study seats. We loved the coffee and the service! Highly recommend the jalapeño cheddar bagel with cream cheese and the almost croissant pastry. Both were soft, moist, and fresh! Heads up, they do tend to sell out of the sandwiches and quiches before noon!

Terrible customer service, barrista was rude. They offer one small sized coffee and i was served half foam. Ordered the 11$ breakfast sandwich with one piece of under cooked soggy bacon and a thin piece of egg.

Great spot in Redding. Not the best pour over I've ever had, but it's pretty good! Nice quality pastries and a lot of pastry selection. Nice atmosphere.

Espresso is excellent and served in the traditional way with a little glass of sparkling water on the side. Americano was perfect, the breakfast brioche and the pastry were delicious. Staff is friendly, attentive, and professional. We’ll definitely be stopping here for coffee anytime we’re passing through town.

Cool place, insane espresso, and super yummy in-house baked goods. If you usually get sweetened espresso, ditch it at this place. So good.

Roasted, just the perfect tumble of the drum falling back to the bottom of the toasted eminations of oderific beans display unique fruit and amber from a cask used to suttle the bite of that jolt, not your run of the mill perfection five years in the planning to shell and savor one Bean.

We stopped here on Sunday morning for a caffeine boost. The double espresso and cold brew were both excellent. The café is well-located and offers a variety of seating options. The decor is lovely as well.

Inviting. Cool. Tasty. I happened in here on a visit to town, looking for a place to work.
The staff is marvelously cheerful and patient with first time visitors who have a LOT of questions. 🙋🏼‍♀️
I was immediately intrigued by the Just Peaches & Cream. Such a novel idea. Then I couldn’t pass up a strawberry bun.
10/10 on both counts.
Music is continually playing, but never too loud. I’m impressed by this. It can be difficult for me to focus when lyrics are pumping into my brain. Bravo! To the one in charge of the playlist and volume.
They pack in a lot of seating without crowding. Great natural light. Also, outdoor sidewalk seating and a back patio.
