Very cute and relaxing
Okay if you live in Carlsbad or anywhere near Carlsbad or passing by on the 5 this is a place to come and visit!

Based on the reviews, The French Door Cafe is a hidden gem and an awesome place for breakfast or lunch. The restaurant feels very homey and welcoming with great service and good vibes. The owners, a mother and daughter, are so nice, kind, and really passionate about their food. The food is incredible, delicious, and great, with everything tasting fresh. The bakery items are made in-house. Specific meals mentioned include the Provençal panini, the Turkey Chimichurri Panini, avocado toast, the croissant sandwich, and the tres leches bread pudding. The desserts and coffee are highly recommended, with the chocolates being the highlight. Pastries like the chai snickerdoodle cookie and vegan raisin oatmeal cookie were spectacular. Drinks like the Spanish Latte, San Pellegrino lemonade, and cafe latte are also available. The prices are very reasonable.
