I used to think this place was great but the food was terrible this weekend. The driest crepes I’ve ever been served, like they were missing the egg entirely. $46 for 2 crepes and 2 regular coffees which I don’t mind if it’s good. Less expensive and far better quality two blocks away at the French Corner.

Always a great place stop in for coffee and a pastry while in Carlsbad. Fun patio seating too.

This is a wonderful place for a breakfast or brunch. Counter service will get you an amazing assortment of baked goods and pastries, as well as full breakfast plates. We had the chocolate chip mufffin and Nutella croissant. Those were scarfed down quickly. Then, we got the florentine Benedict which is a vegetarian’s dream, and the smoked salmon Benedict. The Salomon was devious and fresh. I highly recommend coming to this cafe!

This place has been around for a long time and my wife and I enjoy having the breakfast burrito and all kind of great pastries! The coffees excellent as well and the service is good people are friendly. Right in the heart of Carlsbad village.

This morning's coffee date landed at Cafe Elysa. Elysa serves a bold cup of coffee with tasty treats. They only offer outdoor seating, which allows the patrons to enjoy Carlsbad weather. Most of the outdoor seating is covered. I found myself savouring coffee by the fire pit. The fire and the music added to the peaceful ambience of Elysa, where I reflected on life. With Elysa located near the road, we experienced some traffic sounds. Next time you are near Carlsbad Village take a moment to enjoy Cafe Elysa. I look forward to another cup of coffee at Elysa

Staff was super friendly and can’t say enough about the location. A definite must if you’re in Carlsbad and are looking for an incredible breakfast experience.
- nice outdoor seating - table tops always dirty - ground in outdoor seating area always dirty - only staffed by teenagers, no adults around - food prices to high - care of grounds unkempt, messy, sloppy - they ask for tips while there is no waitress service - given the appearance of the table and grounds area, haven’t ck’ed the restroom, but probably scary
