Theory Coffee Roasters

I honestly prefer this spot over Starbucks or Dutch Bros. It has such a unique vibe, with two floors that mix together in a really cool way. I’ve never tried this shop before, but it immediately stood out. The staff was super sweet and welcoming, and the whole place felt alive and clean. My latte with an extra espresso shot came out to about $10, which I’d say is still pretty affordable considering the quality and fast service. Overall, a great experience and definitely worth coming back.

Stopped in on Christmas Eve while visiting for the holidays after hearing this was one of "Redding’s best." Unfortunately, it was a letdown. The barista (tall male with a beanie) had a terrible attitude and didn’t seem to care. I watched him dump part of my iced latte down the drain and replace it with whole milk—even though I ordered oat. What I got was basically flavored milk at an $8 price tag. Anyone who drinks lattes regularly can clearly see from my photo this was very portly made. Didn’t bother asking for a remake due to the attitude and time constraints. Won’t be back or recommending this place. Only received an extra star because the cashier was very nice and friendly. Go to Heritage coffee instead.

My croissant got a bit burnt, but the green tea latte was good and they have wifi. I worked upstairs, but I didn't stay long, the stools aren't very comfortable.

One of my favorite! We love stopping here as we travel through this area. Easy in-out. Clean, great costumer service, and plenty of tasty treats! Guaranteed to have a delicious cappuccino or a latte! If you are in the area, give Theory a try!!!

My husband and I visited Theory back in May/June from out of state. We originally planned to get coffee from all of the local coffee shops since we were in Redding for a week. We ended up only going to Theory Coffee because the coffee and treats were amazing. Maybe #1 on our list? Plus the staff were incredibly nice and knowledgeable. Periodically, we will order their beans from online and they still uphold great flavor.

I ordered a latte and a pour-over, both of which were exceptional—perfectly brewed and full of flavor. I also picked up a bag of their coffee beans and was pleasantly surprised to receive a complimentary cup of drip coffee with my purchase. Highly recommend stopping by for top-notch coffee and a welcoming atmosphere!"

Coffee was good, but loved the pastries. Got an apple cinnamon danish first and then came back to get a Choco hazelnut cruffin and ham gruyere pastry. By 11am on a Sunday most of the pastries were over. I don't think I've had such good pastries before. Absolutely recommend!
