Soul Rebel Coffee - Calistoga, California

Steve

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…

Nice set up in a relaxing little space. You can sit outside and just enjoy your time. We had a chunky monkey smoothie, nice and fresh, a smoked salmon bagel and an açai bowl, all prepared fresh for us. A variety of good quality, healthy and tasteful choices for a breakfast/brunch. Definitely worth it.

I never write reviews but I felt I needed to for the sake of the public. I truly don’t understand how this place got 4.6 stars on yelp. Coffee was bland and burned - tasted way worse than Starbucks imho. The oatmeal was served to us in a large paper cup (so strange) and it was completely uncooked at the bottom. I truly don’t know how you screw up oatmeal - an 8-year old could have done a better job. The breakfast sandwich was uninspired but passable. Service was very absentminded - when we mentioned the oatmeal was uncooked and inedible at the bottom they didn’t say a word. No apology, no comment - extremely confusing…I have no idea if they were sober or not. Literally the worst $46 we have ever spent on food. Please, take your money and stomachs elsewhere.

The atmosphere at Soul Rebel Coffee is very disappointing and the advertising misleading. The website makes the cafe seem clean and polished but this was a dumpy hole in the wall and I’d be surprised if they passed a food inspection test. The ingredients were not fully stocked and we couldn’t order what we wanted to. Overpriced for being so dumpy with no indoor seating.

It was my first time coming to this place and I tried Acai bowl for the time and I enjoyed lot. Meet the own and very friendly, caring, meet all my need when I order. Will sure will come back again and again.

Not the best service. The guy that made our coffee filled it out until the top of the cup, and when we opened it to put in the sugar, we burnt our fingers. When we got to the store, they even looked at us and kept doing what they were doing, they were not very friendly.

Disappointing. Ii expect to havethe option of ceramic mug for my coffee when at a speciality coffee shop. Full rating for effort but burnt beans to the extent that I had to return my coffee that was a 30 minute wait.

We were driving thru Calistoga and craving a smoothie. We got to Soul Rebel after they had closed and cleaned up. The owner opened the store and made the most amazing smoothies for us! I would give six stars if I could!
