Ordered a iced vanilla latte and it was solid. Coffee had a nice bold taste to it and it was the perfect sweetness. Also digging the vintage camera decor. And they’re for sale!

Love it!! Ordered a flat white. Perfection !!

If you are a local and want to get away from the tourists and have a great cup of Joe, this little gem is your spot. The beans are not over-roasted like the Corporate Mermaid brand, and has a great flavor, is smooth and robust. This spot is tucked away behind the main buildings on the Cbad Village strip, and is a walk up, order, and go spot. The shop offers a small collection of vintage items for sale inclusing old surf photos, camera's, reggae vinyl, etc... There is no seating inside the shop, buy it offers a super chill patio that definitely promotes the good vibes. There are lots of tiny succulent plants surrounding you while you sip on your latte.

Great vibes and amazing coffee. This little hidden gem is the best place in Carlsbad if you’re a coffee lover. The outdoor seating area is full of beautiful fragrant flowers and succulents which makes for a nice relaxing spot to sit and sip your coffee. Go check this place out!

Such a cool coffee shop! Such good vibes and my coffee was incredible. Check this place out. They have a beautiful sitting area as well.

The owner worked the counter, Ray. Super chill dude, has great taste in décor (really homely vibe), and makes a damn fine cup of coffee. They roast their own beans, and it’s some of the best I’ve ever had. Next time I go I’ll definitely grab a bag of coffee on my way out!

Cute little coffee shop hidden behind everything, awesome vibe with some cozy outdoor seating. Had a beautiful, delicious latte in a cute ceramic mug. Also got a to-go drip coffee which was a well brewed lighter roast. Would return.

I've spent the last 4 years traveling all over the country for work and I make it a point to visit new, craft coffee roasteries in each location. I also live in the Pacific Northwest where coffee is religion. Quite simply, Interim is one of the best I've visited. I also brought whole beans home for the wife and she said they were better than anything we've purchased thus far. Keep up the good work Interim!

Thank goddess I finally found a coffee shop I like in Carlsbad west of I5! A great cup of coffee (Americano) with the correct number of espresso shots (4) without costing me several days coffee budget. The other trendy coffee houses are ridiculous with their 2 shots only, even if they do offer larger sizes just charge more for water in a bigger cup! Sick. Can’t believe locals accept that. However, at Interim it may be a no frills little coffee shop but he does coffee right! Ray is a helpful, patient, friendly & excellent barista. Sadly no heavy cream but that apparently is standard round town too. So I give 5 stars and will be back tomorrow with my own heavy cream for an excellent, strong and reasonably priced Americano. My 16oz iced Americano double quad 1/2 caf was $4.50. Best tasting coffee for fair price. I recommend.

Good coffee. Cool retro Knick knack patty whacks inside. Not Starbucks plus 100! Open 8-2. Go while they’re open and check the 60 something station wagon out front.

GREAT coffee! These guys are the real deal - they are passionate about their craft, and it really comes through in the taste and quality of the brew.

Cute little coffee shop with cool designs. Coffee taste was amazing🤗
