28 Best Cafes in Carlsbad

“Loved their lattes! Quick service and great food“

“This new restaurant was a delight!! The food was so good and fresh. The options were unique and had so much flavor. I would absolutely frequent this restaurant if I lived in the area!! Make sure you visit and talk with the daughter/mother duo that take care of you.“

“Great food, great feel, friendly help“

“Amazing, pretty, and customisable drinks, friendly staff, lots of board games to play if you’re waiting for your order, and claw machines where you can try your luck. 10/10, though most drinks are pretty sweet, but that can be changed while ordering. (Photo provided of their caramel cream)“

“Absolutely the Best and most welcoming Coffee shop Ive enjoyed! To know that it's Mission oriented is so pleasing to the Lord♡! Great salads and of course coffee too!“

“Heard about this coffee shop at the San Diego airport so I wanted to check out one of it's brick and mortar locations. I ended up asking for what the most popular drink was and the answer was the Mocha. I ended up ordering the Aztec Mocha which has dark cacao, cinnamon and cayenne. You could really taste the cayenne spice. I enjoyed the drink. Lots of spots to sit inside and outside. Nice coffee shop and looks like the food is solid as well!“

“Simply amazing! My husband and I frequent Naked. The food is awesome, and the service is amazing. We thought we would post a review of a visit we made there a few days ago. When we walked into the restaurant, (early 8:00 am) for breakfast, there was a table that had already been serviced with about 14-16 people. Michael, the manager was already taking their order. When he was finished taking their order, he came over to our table to take ours. He told us that there was a large table before us, so it might be a while before we received our order. Surprisingly enough, within in 10 minutes!, no lie, the large table was being served their orders and at the SAME time, our order came out as well. I don’t know how they do it. We love coming to Naked! Thank you Michael and staff!!! Kim & Tony“

“Everything I’ve tried has been delicious, filling, and healthful. Sometimes I grab a smoothie or coffee after working out so I don’t have to settle for overpriced fast food while I’m on the road. I order ahead and it’s always ready!“

“The very best Indian food I have ever eaten in all of San Diego county.“

“I ordered the breakfast sandwich served on a pretzel croissant, and it was sublime! Eggs were cooked perfectly. The croissant just added an extra flavor profile I am hooked. This is a little hidden café, literally in front of the library entrance.“

“Mooie plek, goede sfeer, nice people“

“The Market at Legoland was well-stocked with lots of plant based options, including bottled and canned iced lattes (LOVED my iced caramel cold brew oat milk latte in a pink can!), vegan parm crisps, cookies, candy, fruit, a selection of salads, sandwiches and more. There is a coffee bar with almond milk and oat milk for non-dairy milk options. Super conveniently located right at the entrance - stock up on your way in to the park!

“Just stopped in for coffee! Menu looks fantastic-can’t wait to try! Cute decor and staff very friendly!“

“We stayed at the hotel as part of the Legoland vacations package. The hotel is right next to the park and because you stay there, you get early access to the park. Breakfast is included but still best to make reservations. We stayed in a Friends themed room with bunk beds for the girls. The girls had a great time and enjoyed meeting characters on site.“

“Desayuno muy rico cafecito y ensaladas deliciosas todo fresco ☕️😀“

“One of the best sandwiches and great service“

“Surprisingly good prices and portion sizes. Food quality was good as well.

They were a bit understaffed, which contributed to longer waits but they were still friendly and tried their best.

The paper menu is outdated so they no longer offer some of the items like the power bowls. They've also added more items to the menu that doesn't reflect on the paper ones, which can get confusing when you're ordering for the first time.“

“Parakeet Café is outstanding. The food is fresh, clean, and dialed in—no fluff, just quality ingredients done right. Coffee is top-tier, service is friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere is relaxed but polished. It’s the kind of place you can hit for a quick bite or settle in and enjoy your time. Consistently solid. Highly recommend.“

“Campus Café is a fantastic food stop for breakfast or lunch. Today I did their Korean barbecue that was their special for Thursday. So yummy. Has just the right amount of fight and balanced out nicely with the salad. You won’t be disappointed coming here.“

“Just all around good food, and excellent service.“

“As a tea drinker this presentation felt sophisticated and the chamomile strength was delicious and soothing. The freshness and rainbow colors of this bowl complemented the light delicate dressing. The watermelon radish added a pungent spice and with a dollop of hummus was perfectly balanced. Felt light and healthy and was a great vegan option. The music was mellow and the volume matched the mood of the time of day. Will be back again and try more of the not coffee menu.“

“The location is excellent and the food is beyond fantastic. I can't get enough of this place. the experience so far is TOP!!!! It really is that good. It's a must try. You will not be disappointed. love it.“

“One of the best sandwiches and great service“

“Adorable coffee shop right across the street from our hotel. Great energy and vibe, and the customer service is fantastic. The music was fun and the place felt lively. Everyone was friendly and helpful.

We ordered the Mexican mocha and it was delicious. I’m very picky about Mexican mochas and this was one of the best I’ve had.

We also tried the ham and cheese croissant, the avocado feta toast (no tomatoes for the picky eaters in our group), and the OG açaí bowl. Everything was fresh and tasty.

Definitely recommend this spot.“

“Love Panera’s chicken salad sandwich with sliced grape and almonds! Broccoli cheddar soup is awesome as well!!!“

“The pastry here is incredible! Had the croissant, pain au chocolat, and a baguette. This is comparable to the pastry I've had in France. Outstanding!“

“Todo muy rico los sándwich y las ensaladas las recomiendo“
