La Costa Wine Winery • $$
7750 El Camino Real L, Carlsbad

“I wanted to surprise a special couple with two bottles of wine--one specifically for her and one specifically for him. I surreptitiously found out that they like going to La Costa Wine Co. and that Connor knows their profiles. So, I called the shop, asked for Connor, and explained what I wanted to do and who the bottles were for.

Ten stars to Connor! His passion for what he does was palpable through the phone. Almost immediately after I told him who I wanted to buy wine for, he told me they'd just walked into the shop. He went into a different room so they wouldn't overhear our conversation. Connor asked me about the price range I was interested in, we discussed a few options, and we landed on a red and a white that he was confident my friends would enjoy. When I asked if they like to munch on anything while they're drinking their wine, he said, Yes! The truffle popcorn. So, I added that to the order. The next day, I picked up the bag with the bottles of wine and the popcorn, and delivered it to her where she works. The best part of the surprise was that my friends loved the wines and, of course, the truffle popcorn!

My next visit to this shop will be to sit, relax and enjoy a glass of wine :)“

“The top sections on the menu are 100% plant based, and the second half has meat options. It sounds like they used to be fully vegan, so it’s disappointing they added meat to the menu. I enjoyed the Munchwrap and the smash burger was pretty good. Next time I hope to try the flatbread—they currently have one plant based flatbread on the menu.“

“Smallish restaurant with tiny parking lot of about 10 spots shared between 3 businesses. Like the roll up garage door windows, lots of outdoor picnic bench seating under shade canopies (which we couldn't use on this rainy day). Beer selection is pretty good, we had the meat lovers 12 inch pizza and liked the thin crispy crust, a bit skimpy on the toppings but tasty enough.

Parking: I think 10 spots between 3 (?) businesses in this very small strip mini mall.“

Burgeon at The Grove Beer Gardens • $

“Burgeon at the Grove has quickly become our spot. The beer selection is fantastic. My favorite is the Amber Ale. Service is consistently friendly and very welcoming, and on a super hot day, they have very strong A/C!
On our latest visit, we sat near the community board games and puzzles (these are a huge plus!). We got to spend some good quality time together (screen free!). We had such a great time sampling all the different beers while we doing puzzles together, kids coloring, and board games. It’s rare to find a place that balances top-notch craft beer with such a welcoming, family-friendly vibe. We all really enjoyed ourselves!
The atmosphere is laid-back, modern, and comfortable—perfect whether you’re here with family, friends, or just looking to relax with a great beer.
We’re already looking forward to our next visit! 🍻“

“5-star review... My daughter accidentally left her purse at Teri Cafe (Plaza Location) on Saturday. Since the cafe was closed Sunday due to a scheduled power outage, I stopped by Monday morning to ask whether it had been turned in. Thankfully, the purse had been given to management, and everything inside, including a substantial amount of cash, was still there. We are very grateful to the honest person who returned it and to the Teri Cafe team for keeping it safe. This experience demonstrated genuine trust, honesty, and integrity. Thank you, Teri Cafe!“
