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!!!

I love this local cafe within the Village Faire center. Located upstairs with indoor and outdoor seating; it has a boho feel inside. I ordered a hot caramel soy milk latte to go. It was made quickly by a friendly barista. The cashier was also friendly.

Make it a point to come here everytime I visit my friends in Carlsbad because their blended dirty chai is one of the best I've ever had. I love chais that are creamy and sweet rather than spiced and watery, and they hit the mark here, at least for the blended one. This time my boyfriend tried just the blended chai and I got our usual blended dirty chai and I like it with the shot of espresso to cut the sweetness a little. It's a really sweet and creamy drink. Honestly more of a dessert than anything. The prices are also pretty high but it's quality and the cafe is adorable. The workers have always been so kind and efficient. Well worth the money! *Beware the parking lot is small and busy no matter what time of day so it's not often easy to get to the cafe!

Wonderful espresso macchiato! I asked for an espresso with a teeny bit of steamed milk.
Cafe Mexicana was divine!
Love the plants and the artwork inside.
Also has outdoor seating.
Staff are very nice.
Just found this place yesterday. We will definitely be back. ❤️

Quaint and cozy cafe in the middle of Carlsbad village plaza! I highly recommended their selection of beverage menu and specialty treats. Evening well spent. The staff is very friendly.

I think the atmosphere is pleasant, but I don't like how close together all the tables are. I tried the hot cafe mexicana, and I didn't taste anything but the oatmilk. I think they forgot to add the coffee to my coffee. ?The cake was fine.

Best atmosphere of any coffee shop in Carlsbad. It is actually cozy inside, and the music never too loud. It is not a big corporation chain like the other over priced competitors. Also best chai tea lattes and a mean fruit tart ?
