“I live in Arizona and walking my found this place. To sum it up I’m addicted to this ice cream. Every time we go to San Diego I have this ice cream 2 to 3 times a day.“

“I LOVE this place especially for their matcha lattes. Best that I've tasted! I've taken great effort to try matches in every city I've traveled. These are the best! I also love their delicious gluten-free products, BIG plus for me. The outdoor patio is comfortable and charming. The staff has always been congenial, accommodating and happy. Excellent place all around!“

“Trendy but relaxed and really good margarita!“

“This is my second time visiting this bar, both times while waiting for a table at a nearby restaurant for dinner. If you happen to pass by, feel free to come in. It’s not too crowded, so you can enjoy your drink in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.“

“I want to say yes and recommend them. But I can't because I have a subscription to their coffee but they sent me the wrong coffee. it's been about a week, I've call a few times, left two voice mail messages, I've emailed as well and I have not gotten any response at all. The coffee I bought and subscribed to is good, but I can't continue to do business with a company that won't respond to their customers to fix their mistakes.“

“We shared the papagayo salad, coconut prawns and house made butternut squash ravioli and everything was flavorful and delicious! Service was attentive and atmosphere was great. We sat on outside patio. After a long drive from San Francisco it was a great stop. First time here and I would definitely recommend!“

“Amazing food. Delicious & unique drinks. All very reasonable. Will definitely return & highly recommended!!“

“This is a delightful coffee shop, where I enjoyed a morning date with my wife. We only drank the house coffee, but the coffee hit the spot. To add to the atmosphere, Lofty Coffee played music (contemporary soft rock/ jazz). The service was kind and thoughtful, but the crew was busy. Several customers had their laptops, and they appeared to appreciate the environment. Lofty Coffee has an interesting pledge (please see photo).

Yes, I would take my wife back to Lofty Coffee for another coffee date.“

“Excellent food and service.“

“Taste of Himalayas offers an authentic Indian and Nepali dining experience with a charming atmosphere and impressive flavors. The decor reflects both Indian and Nepali influences, creating a cozy and inviting ambiance. From the moment you step in, the welcoming staff makes you feel at home, adding a personal touch to the experience.

The food here is remarkable, with the daal tadka and paneer chilli being standout dishes. The daal is flavorful, with just the right blend of spices, and the paneer chilli is delightfully seasoned, delivering a perfect balance of heat and savoriness. Pairing these with the garlic naan, which is perfectly soft with a hint of crispness, enhances each bite and is a must-try for naan lovers.

The meal ends on a slightly less memorable note with the gulab jamun, which was just average in taste compared to the other dishes. Still, overall, Taste of Himalayas is a wonderful choice for those seeking authentic flavors in a warm setting. The combination of excellent food, friendly service, and beautiful decor make it a place worth revisiting.“

“Great taste! Had three different flavours and good quantity for the price and place.

Overall great place for homemade ice-cream.

Dietary restrictions: All ice cream was egg free. Great for my dietary restrictions.“

“This morning, I enjoyed a cup of coffee, with my wife, at Steady State Roasting. The first thing I noticed was the open and airy atmosphere. The hanging plants only added to the ambiance. My wife delightfully sipped from a latte, while I had a house coffee. The house coffee was uniquely flavored, a bit bitter. Steady State Roasting has reusable stirring spoons, which is eco-friendly. Finally, they offer indoor and outdoor seating, to optimize the moment. Yes, this experience was worthy of a return visit.“

“Loved their lattes! Quick service and great food“

“Ordered a cake for an office retirement party and it was a hit! Several people asked where it was from. Chocolate cake with raspberry jam and chocolate buttercream, absolutely delightful! Wil definitely be ordering my cakes from here going forward. Ornament was purchased and added separately.“

“The gelato was just like what we had in Florence,Italy!“

“Great pizza. On time delivery“

“Loved this little place and the experience brought with it! Latte was made perfectly; mildly sweet with a creamy vanilla finish. Donut melted away in my mouth. Lighting, seating, and cleanliness was perfect for the Carlsbad area. 🩵“

“Great selection of fresh fish! Yum 😋“

“I love exploring new coffee shops, and this one has a delightful charm that instantly caught my attention. The cozy ambiance, with its soft lighting and inviting decor, makes it the perfect spot to unwind. Today, I decided to try the Hammer Head Coffee, known for its bold flavor and invigorating strength—just what I needed after a restless night. The aroma is rich and captivating, providing an immediate boost. In addition to the coffee, they offer an enticing selection of pastries, each one more tempting than the last, making it difficult to choose just one.“

“Great Italian Pastries and coffee in the morning and perfect Italian sandwiches at lunch. Ken and his family know how to bake!“

“Great food, great feel, friendly help“

“Awesome food! We were in town at Carlsbad for the weekend, and visited it twice. Everything we tried was huge portions and fabulous! Servers and staff were very friendly, and very knowledgeable. If you are in the area, stop in and enjoy!!“

“This was a fun brewery to visit in Carlsbad. I came here with a group of adults, and everyone seemed to enjoy the food and beer. The grilled cheese and tomato soup is so delicious and worth a try. Others in the group ordered pizza and said it was quite tasty as well. Our server Michelle was awesome and had a fun personality. All in all, it’s a great place to check out. Also, the place is very dog friendly which I thought was cool.“

“Very good pizza and wings. Pizza came out pretty quickly. Sauce is not sweet, which is a good thing. Crust is airy and crunchy. Hot wings were also good. Good sauce. Right amount of vinegar and heat.“

“Fantastic Brews and BBQ – A Must-Visit in Carlsbad

Burgeon Brewery has set the bar high for craft beer in Carlsbad. We stopped by on a recommendation and were blown away by their IPA selection. The DDH Juice Press was so good we brought cans home! Other standouts in our flight included Turtle Power, Treevana, and Cloud Chaser—all bursting with flavor.

The brewery’s relaxed atmosphere paired with BBQ from the Thumbs Up Food Truck made our visit memorable. The brisket with spicy sauce was smoky perfection and matched the beers beautifully. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this place is a true gem.“

“Fresco Cocina is delicious and fun! We hosted a farewell brunch for a wedding weekend there...the buffet was fresh and beautifully displayed --chorizo, eggs, a variety of salsa and toppings, homemade tortillas, fresh fruit and mimosas. The ambiance was sunny, open and chic. Nadia, their event coordinator, pulled this together for us on just a few week's notice. She is very professional, accommodating and creative. Michael and his wait staff made sure our guests had a plenty of food and drinks no matter what time they arrived. The event exceeded our expectations. And we can't wait to go back for dinner the next time we're in town. Thank you Fresco Cociina for the perfect ending to a great wedding weekend!“

“👍excelente comida, ambiente agradable“

“Fish Boon is very unique and really well done. You know your in for something good when your informed about the menu and there approach to dining when you first sit down. The surf and turf roll is amazing, best selection of Saki I have seen and really great service. This will be a regular destination of ours for sure.“

“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. ❤️“
