“Food was great! I love ramen and this spot is one of the best I've had! We got the Gonzo black and the tonkatsu along with some takoyaki. The Takoyaki was average, but the ramen was superb! The broth was rich and was very flavorful. The staff was really nice and the food came out quickly as well. If I'm ever in the area again, I will definitely stop by again!“
“Food is fantastic, and spice levels are spot on. I believe the owner has greeted us on multiple occasions and he's extremely friendly. Great atmosphere, milkshakes, and service! Definitely will be back many times. They also have military discount which is always nice to hear of the support!“
“Handels, a local ice cream parlor, offers a delightful experience with its charming ambiance and high-quality offerings. The establishment exudes a sense of community and familiarity upon entry, making patrons feel right at home. The ice cream itself boasts exceptional quality, with a range of flavors that cater to various palates. Each scoop is crafted with care, evident in its rich and creamy texture. While the prices may be slightly higher than average, the quality justifies the cost. However, it’s worth noting that the limited seating can sometimes lead to overcrowding during peak hours, impacting the overall experience. Nevertheless, for those seeking top-notch ice cream in a cozy setting, Handels is a solid choice.“
“I love vegan food especially when it's out of this world amazing, there's a reason why this is called express and not like the other Plot. The food is alright at this one, fries are great but the truffle sauce needs a rethink. The crunch wrap is good but mainly full of lettuce. The Chicken Bites are pretty yummy but I don't care for any of the sauces. So some good and sucky things here, I honestly rather go to the other one that's a restaurant, it's better with more choices.“
“Delicious gelato! Not way too sweet like most American places do it. Variety of real-tasting options. And the price for the portion you get is fair! Would definitely return if in the area. Storefront is very cute and the workers are genuine Italians!“
“This place is always a great place to stop by whenever we are in the area. High quality good, service and dessert. Their chicken pot pie is our favorite and any pie or dessert from the bakery is a special treat. Counting the days for us to return to this kitchen restaurant.“
“before you get impatient about waiting an hour for pizza , think about the time you are ordering it at. Also ITS WORTH THE WAIT ! Everyone is ordering this spot during prime times , because there pizza is just perfect! Never a cold delivery and always a great customer service“
“We ordered a four layer birthday cake filled with Bavarian cream. It was absolutely delicious. We also bought croissants and an apple strudel, which were heavenly. Everyone at the party raved about the cake. I highly recommend this bakery and am eager to “
“Authentic Italian Bakery! How did I miss this place?! So unassuming, hole in the wall bakery tucked in the corner of a shopping plaza. The pictures speak for themselves. Delicious and authentic. Don't come here expecting American style pastries or sandwiches. It's amazing and the quality is there! I've been to Italy, husband is from France so his expectations are always high when it's an European bakery. He loved the Italian sandwich and Italian ham especially. As for the prices, it's on par with the quality, did I hear imported Italian flour?! Yes. Italian family owned bakery where you hear them speaking Italian? Yes. Cute Italian mom and dad hanging out in the bakery? Yes. You can't get more authentic than that. My new favorite local bakery.Kid-friendliness: Yes“
“I had a great experience at Luna Grill, as always. The food was fresh and tasted great. The restaurant was extremely clean. The customer service provided by Norma and Natalie was excellent. This is one of my favorite restaurants to visit in Carlsbad. Thank you!“
“barista dexter was very kind and explained the different coffee flavors. i was not sure what to get and he assured me that if i didn't like it, i can switch it for something else. very good customer service and welcoming aesthetic place. the donuts look very good and they have nice greeting cards!“
“Great variety of places selling food and drinks. Close to the Carlsbad premium outlets so can stop on the way there or back. Loved their selection of milk teas, shrimp and pork shumai. Has lots of food options to choose from including tacos, pizza, BBQ, Vietnamese and Thai fares. It has plenty of places to sit including an amazing patio seating. There is a place selling craft cocktails inside as well. Definitely recommend!Parking: Plenty of free parking in the lotKid-friendliness: Lots of families with kidsWheelchair accessibility: Accessible for people with disabilities“
“Menu needs a legend listed! DC stands for decaf. The Peach Paradise is delicious (but can you adjust sweetness? She didn't ask us). The natural foaming is so pretty. Sugar Moon is open late and is cute to hang out in. There's a restroom too, so it's comfortable.“
“This is a long overdue review for Urban Plates. I do not usually post reviews, however, I have to reward the consistency of outstanding customer service and consistently good food with my feedback. Manager Manny Mejia is always on site greeting guests and making sure all customers have an exemplary experience. I have been coming to Urban Plates for years with my family and friends. I love the Plate Pass program that gives me 20% off of my entire bill including wine/beer. The restaurant is always clean even during their busiest times. When it is peak eating times, you may have to wait for a table but, Manny and his staff will try to make your wait as quick as possible. Finally, let's talk about the food. The beet salad is one of my all-time favorite salads. I also love the chciken tenders which are addictive as are the fries. The steak with chimichurri sauce is delicious. I always leave Urban Plates feeling satisfied and happy that I am able to enjoy tasty food prepared in a healthful way. You owe it to yourself to eat at Urban Plates.“
“My Brother-In-Law gets his coffee beans here and recommended. I was able to see Doug at work roasting the beans. Our favorite local coffee roasters. Tried a hot espresso latte and it was very good. Ended up buying a small bag of Snickerdoodle coffee in a small bag and fired up the Moccamaster and home the next day and it was very flavorful. You will love La Costa Coffee Roasting!“
“Great local vibe with friendly staff and good food. Ate at the bar and was immediately greeted with a smile. Sam suggested the cheesesteak with fries. It was spot on. If I was picky, I would have a bit more seasoning. The fries were awesome too. Nice crispy and battered.“
“We had dinner here last night. The food was really fresh and good. It was recommended by someone who lives nearby so we decided to try it. We were not disappointed. We don't live in Carlsbad but we'll return the next time we are here.“
“I've been a member of the Carlsbad location since 2017 off and on. We just had our company Christmas party there this Friday and the staff was amazing and really helpful. Everyone loved the venue, not too big not too small - and the wine selection was great! Carruth is my Cheers - my fav spot in the Village.“
“Perfectly fine food, the salad greens were fresh and the chicken wasn't dry. The shawarma is fine, the hummus so so, the tzatziki familiar, the pita warm but a little spongy. I liked the fried chickpeas in my salad, I guess that stood out. It's a well run branch of a fast casual chain, staffed by local teens. A functioning expression of a corporate concept.“
“Hearty west coast breakfast menu. Decent Latte. Service was good. Items were fresh. My mushroom and spinach omlette was good. Hot sauces brought to the table, but we were never asked about butter or jam for toast till we asked. Coffee refills had to be asked vs offered.Inside seating is cramped and lots of fott traffic due to multiple service areas. Outside looks calmer.I would go back if someone else suggests it, and would not fine with the choice. It would not be my first choice.“
“This Himalayan Sherpa cuisine has great food but slow service. It is in a funky location that looks like it may have been a diner, with booths and tables. They decorated the walls with fabric wall hanging that are also for sale. We ate Lamb! This is not the place to come for steak.lol. Lamb! Veges! Naan bread! Delicious food. Just be patient. Slow service and every table was filled. Busy! We enjoyed a vege dish, Nawaeratan Korma, which proved tastier than expected. Veges, including tofu in the most delicious coconut curry sauce. The two lamb dishes we got: Lamb Saag and Lamb Tikka Masala were delightful. Now, we love curry, so we have an appreciation of the flavors. The food is consistently delicious. We have come twice. No issues with the food. The servers run around, taking orders, clearing tables, bringing food, taking payments. There are plenty of people who come in to pick up their TO GO Orders; so that seems to slow down the process for those people dining in. But it is worth it!“
“Lived in North County since 1998. I have never been to this restraunt and its a shame. The food was very good the prices were decent and the staff was friendly. We sat outside and the heaters work. I cant wait to share this place with friends and family.“
“This is the perfect spot to satisfy your hunger, a true California classic conveniently located right off the freeway. With ample parking and a drive-through option, it's a super convenient stop. Although the drive-through line can sometimes be lengthy, the quality here is consistent with other In-N-Out locations I've visited. Plus, there are gas stations nearby for a quick refill before hitting the freeway again.“
“Tiny hole in the wall yogurt shop in Carlsbad Village with the BEST peanut butter yogurt EVER. Omg I want to eat all of it. It's so smooth and delicious!! It's worth stopping in while at the farmers market on Wednesday afternoon!!“
“Want to give a shoutout to amazing customer service from Baylee! She was so sweet and attentive when we had questions about the menu. She gave us her recommendations and followed up by making sure we were happy with everything that we ordered. Amazing service and a great experience! ?“
“This is mainly for their amazing pastries! Not only are the huge and beautiful to look at but the taste is wonderful!! Their price is reasonable compared to many other coffee shops or cafes around. I got the Nutella croissant and it was heaven! Will be frequenting more for sure!!!“
“Called to ask if they delivered our hotel. The food arrived hot and right on time. We got wings and two pineapple and ham pizzas.Food was great and they even threw in cups and plates since we were getting delivery to a hotel.Would recommend to anyone looking for good pizza after a built day.“
“The happy hour here is amazing. If you love a good glass of wine but want the ability to try multiple different bottles without having to drink bottles, this is the place. The appetizers here are perfect as well. The ability to pour smaller amounts and getting to choose which bottle you like is perfect Service here is amazing and friendly. The ambiance is chill and relaxing. Perfect before a great dinner. The great start to a date night.“
“Ever since moving to Oceanside my family has desperately searched for Italian food as good as our favorite place back home. After trying many restaurants 2051 Cucina is hands down our favorite place and we now eat there regularly. Everything is homemade with fresh, high quality ingredients. We cannot recommend it enough.Pictured - pesto gnocchi, kids mac n cheese, tortellini Parmesan.“
“Bento place run by a real Japanese fellow (and a real nice one, to boot). They know how to make proper sushi rice. Their selection is limited, and if you aren't there at opening, you run the risk of them having run out of your favorite thing.“
“This is the first time we have visited this restaurant. I was shopping in the area and stopped by to see their menu. It smelled wonderful just walking in the door. It was my husband's birthday, so we decided to go there for dinner. He had the chicken mo-mos, and I had the lamb kabob/vegetables tandoori. We also had some soup. The sauce for the mo-mos was awesome, and the lamb was very tender and flavorful. Tutu was our waitress, and she told us the restaurant was established 7 years ago. What a gem this place is! She even gave us a little dessert to take back to the room. Two little cakes in a honey drizzle. She told us to heat in the microwave for 18 seconds, melts in your mouth delicious! We will definitely visit here again.“
“The cutest spot! Different vibe from the og location in San Marcos but change is never a bad thing! Super clean with a good amount of tables, and seats next to outlets which makes the perfect study spot! The coffee itself is amazing and the service is always great and quick. Super friendly staff and overall the best cafe around“
“We love Beach City! Truly some of the best açaí bowls we've had. It's our go to place while in town. When they're busy it can be a bit of a wait, but it's worth it! The fruit is always super fresh, they use the best açaí base- truly delicious. The staff is always friendly and polite, the shop is clean and inviting, not a lot of inside seating but there are tables outside also. Highly recommend!“
“Amazing place. Top notch food. They were so nice too. We brought our dog (pug) and were able to sit outside. They were super patient with us as we figured out what we wanted. If you just want a nice place to get some breakfast - this is your go-to for the Oceanside/Carlsbad area. I wish we were native to the area so I can go more often!“
“This brewery was very impressive. The atmosphere is super comfortable. Clean bathrooms, excellent visuals, entertainment games, cool peeps, top service, a punking playlist, and great selection of beer. My favorite from the flight was the Burgundy oaky and fruity tartness ?. They also have a special mug program ? and dog friendly ?. Outside food is okay ?.“
“Pleasantly surprised! A very nice date night meal of Caldo de Siete Mares (a special, not on regular menu, with scallops, shrimp, octopus, mussels, calamari, fish and lobster) and steak fajitas. Delightful! Also a nice dessert of passionfruit creme brulee, also excellent.“
“Stopped by to check out the brewery and the selections. I will have to say it is all good. Tried several of the beers and seltzers and all were worthy of taking home for further enjoyment. Nice bartenders and staff. Food is very good as other reviewers have stated. When you get the chance or time, definitely a place to check out!“
“Without a doubt. Burgeon Brewery production of the best beers anywhere. The large list of Burgeon IPAs is second to none. Then there's the Pales ales. Incredible. Pilsner popularity are on the rise and leading the pack again is Burgeon. To be fair there is a plethora of amazing brewery's in SD . Particularly north county coast. But the comparison of any to Burgeon isn't even close. If your thinking of visiting a few breweries while in SDs north county coast I would highly recommend you try them 1st. If you start at Burgeon the others won't be as impressive. 2 other very important aspects of this brewery are the people who work here. Very knowledgeable and strive to take care of anyone who walks in the door. See it every time we go. And the food trucks. If Burgeon has them , expect some of the best in town serving you.“
“Had a wonderful time at Witch Creek Winery, thanks to Nick the bartender. He created a relaxed atmosphere, chatted about local spots, and made my visit truly enjoyable. Highly recommend stopping by to enjoy great wine and great company with Nick!“
“Cafe Topes was super busy when my friend and I came for breakfast (Saturday at 11am, duh it's busy!) but the service is so quick and efficient we were in and out in thirty minutes. You order at the front, the person who took our order was super helpful and friendly (I wish I got his name) and made great recommendations. We got the crack breakfast burrito, the 222, and two delicious lemonades. The food came out incredibly fast, piping hot, and super yummy. We really enjoyed the inside seating, although the outside is just as nice when it's not rainy! Would go again, and probably will soon!“
“This is an innovative gourmet taco shop with a lovely atmosphere, and a living-room like area with chairs and a sofas facing the bar. It is the sister restaurant of the Michelin-noted Lola 55 in downtown San Diego. Every taco is assempled with care, with some unusual pairings, and photo-ready. The margaritas are zesty and unique, with black salt (?) on the rim. And I had attentive service, including from the owner. I only wish they had more things on their menu, but have liked everything I have had.“
“This is for the coffee/service/ambiance. I've gone there twice the last 2 weeks to work around 11am and drink some coffee. Both times have been super nice, good quiet outdoor patio to work from, good wifi and solid house coffee. The girls behind the counter are really friendly and quick. It makes a huge difference for me when you order your coffee and are greeted with a friendly person. I can't wait to try the lox bagel next time, because it looked amazing!!!“
“The chilequilles had outstanding flavor and freshly made tortilla chips. My wife likes chilequilles, and I don't usually prefer them because I don't like soggy chips... However, these chips seemed fresh and crispy despite being in the green sauce.The Lemon Ricotta pancakes (opted for gluten free) were really good especially for being gluten free!There are so many menu options that sounds so good that we definitely have to come back to try them all.The service is great and fast.We dined on the patio with our fur baby where they provided blankets and heaters so we were very comfortable out there.Dietary restrictions: Amazing gluten free pancakes!“
“Spent my bday at the beach. Had dinner right before sunset at Dini's. Atmosphere was great, family friendly, and view of ocean across the street. Food was excellent, had the blackened chicken pasta. Glad we found this place for dinner. Will certainly be back when in town.“
“Food was great and the female wait staff were so nice but the male kitchen staff made my friend and I quite uncomfortable with so much staring at one point it seemed all of them were out in the front and were staring so much. No hate to the restaurant but i’d like to comment on it because this sort of stuff can be very uncomfortable for women I’m just trying to enjoy a meal and don’t want men staring for no reason.“
“This place is fantastic if you're a beer lover! Also it's very dog friendly, they even allow dogs inside. I've only ever been here for work happy hours, but I definitely need to make the trek sometime to experience it without a big group, because I have no clue what the food menu actually looks like. All I know is the food we have here is always really good. Parking can be a bit tight sometimes but that's the only real downside.“
“The live band was very talented. The pizzas were great! And the vibe was chill and happy. It looks like locals and those staying at the campground (the Camp Store is located within the campground) all enjoyed the place. What can get better than an evening with music and food on bluff overlooking the beach and ocean!?Dietary restrictions: Gluten free crust option“
“Excellent French Bakery !! Delicious Pasteries, Cookies, Cakes, Eclairs, and the BEST Creme Brulee this Side of France ?? . ?Parking: Parking Spaces Always Available.Wheelchair accessibility: It's Wheelchair ♿️ Accessible .“
“Hidden behind another pizza joint, I suggested we eat here instead. I was honestly thinking they would have pizza by the slice, but their way of competing against the many other pizza choices around the village is different. They offer a menu more than just pizza, including pasta, salad, veggie appetizers, and wine. Their pizza is practically a thin crust until you get to the end. It was amazing how perfect the crust was. It wasn't floppy anywhere and had a good chew. It was wonderful to dip into the leftover sauce from the stuffed shells, which was also great on its own. The pronounced lemon in the filling was awesome; I actually liked that it wasn't just a hint of lemon. The ambiance is intimate, but it's nice where we sat in their outdoor area. The service was OK. We weren't greeted when we stepped inside or as we walked up. The server didn't present our food by name, but rather placed it on the table. I don't think they even said, "enjoy". It just wasn't personable for a small local shop. When we left, however, another server who was working inside said bye and thank you. Guess it depends who you get.“
“In town for a couple of days, stopped in for a beers, sooo good! I had the Hazelsaurus,really good. I also tried the Milagro, also very good. Great service from DJ, very helpful and friendly! Atmosphere chill and cool. A must for anyone that likes beer!“
