50 Best Dog Friendly Restaurants Carlsbad

“Great customer service!!!“

“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!“

“It is a fun place to be! variety of foods available.“

“Trendy but relaxed and really good margarita!“

“What a rare and gem find, we love this place and go twice a week. Everyone is super friendly, wines are delicious and you can’t beat the membership deal. Looking forward to the new kitchen and space. Special shout out to Brance & Sasha, thanks for getting us hooked!“

“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 dined on a Saturday evening and it was very busy. It took over an hour to get our appetizers. Granted the waitress warned us that the cooking staff was new and orders were taking extra long. Our dinner started at 6:15 and we got out of there at 9:15. Three hours really long. So if you're not in a hurry, then all will be well. The band was really good!“

“Excellent Thai food in a beautiful setting. You will love the ambience, the food and the service.
The place is nicely decorated, the most beautiful food I have been to. Everything we tried was excellent, cannot recommend highly enough.
The roti and curry is delicious and a must try. Soups are nice and perfect for winter nights.“

“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.“

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

“👍excelente comida, ambiente agradable“

“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.“

“I appreciate a place with great wine and a beautiful charcuterie display. I highly recommend“

“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!“

“The food and service is always good, I was wondering what is their signature dish? And has the restaurant had a food critics review? I love you read it! See you soon Casa de Bandini!“

“Great pizza. On time delivery“

“Top 3 cafes on my list. California cafe hits the spot for a quintessential California cafe vibe. This girl must cook organic, cuz you’ll leave feeling satisfied and fulfilled without any guilt of getting your glucose shot up like with usually compared dishes or getting your immune rung up through the ringer from processed or “enriched” ingredients. You can tell she clearly paid attention in culinary school since she cares about quality.
On my first visit I had the tomato soup with a grilled cheese +bacon($2 added charge). The tomato soup seemed to be freshly made and the sandwich had 3 large crispy bacon slices on 2 large sourdough slices. Its snuggled inside a business complex, you’ll have the quiet rumblings of cars and on occasion small planes landing and taking off from Carlsbad airport next door if you sit outside. Inside sitting available. Great job ladies keep up the good work.

On my next visit I had the hot pastrimi and apple crisp. Whatever vanilla cream it comes with it’s absolutely delicious and a little goes a long way. The hot pastrami freshly pickled sauerkraut, hot mustard, white cheese on sourdough“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!“

“Wow! We are so grateful to have happened upon Don's Country Kitchen! our lunch was a home made perfect delight. Excellent menu, service, and food. Highly recommend Don's! ♥️😊“

“Great food, great feel, friendly help“

“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.“

“It's a hidden gem. I have driven by multiple times but I never knew this place existed. I was referred by a customer at another brewery. He said the sandwiches here were great, they were big and you could share one with someone else. He also said the beer wasn't the greatest but he goes for a sandwich often. Parking is not great and when you walk in there is a beer menu but you have to read the paper menu to find out what is in the sandwich. The sandwich took about 30 min to come out. All that being said the sandwich was great, definitely worth the wait! The bacon is crispy. The bread was good and it was actually just the right size. I ordered an IPA and it was very good my friend that I went with also liked his sandwich and beer. The staff was great and everyone seemed to know each other and were very nice. I will be a new regular here for sure. Oh also reasonably priced, beer was $7 sandwich $13.“

“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.“

“Wonderful evening with Matt tonight! All the food was seriously so excellent, everything fried in talo -grass fed/ organs - I had the carne asada - excellent! Sea bass - unreal, lobster enchiladas, shrimp tacos 🔥 some great Mexican food. Highly recommend checking this place out. Margaritas were so good- get the Tajin rim😮‍💨“

“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.“

“Had the chance to taste Guillaume's pastries when he was still a student... Can't wait to see what they'll be serving us! :)“

“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. ❤️“
