“Great customer service!!!“

“fresh baked buns make all the difference. coffee shake, yum. got it in "Lil Moo" size“

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

“The food is as good as it looks! I couldn’t believe it when my parents asked me if I wanted to go to a Revolutionary War tavern replica & museum near the beach in northern San Diego. Like, huh? But the building reminded me of growing up on the east coast, and the museum reminded me of how lucky we are to have this country & those who fought for it. I loved the cozy interior with brick and wood. My parents are regulars, so they know the server, and he was super nice. They have a great Old Fashioned, and we all got the Seafood Trio (mine with double cod). The fingerling potatoes were to die for. It was all delicious. Amazing Caesar salad, too. Definitely had leftovers. Excited to go back for their happy hour. Can’t wait to try wagyu sliders, mussels, and clam chowder. Seriously, it all sounds good. Definitely worth a trip! And you’ll be back to try it all 😁“

“Excellent Customer Service & Professional Resolution

I originally posted a review regarding what I believed to be a billing error at Chin’s Carlsbad. However, after speaking directly with a representative, Howard, I want to commend their professionalism and quick response in addressing my concerns.

Howard took the time to go over my receipt in detail, and we discovered that the Point-of-Sale system deducts a portion of sales tax from gift certificates, which initially caused some confusion. After reviewing the proper sales tax calculations, it became clear that my bill was actually correct. In retrospect, I was mistaken, not the restaurant.

I truly appreciate Howard's courteous and professional approach in resolving this issue. It’s a testament to their commitment to customer satisfaction. Chin’s has always been a family favorite, and I’m happy to say that their integrity and service remain top-notch.“

“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!“

The roti and curry is delicious and a must try. Soups are nice and perfect for winter nights.“

“We had a great experience - food was delicious, service was friendly and efficient, and drinks were nice and strong. We ordered the wagyu meatloaf, chicken piccata, margarita flatbread, bacon burger, and cookie skillet. We'd order all these dishes again. Note that the cookie skillet easily feeds 4 people! We will definitely come back!“

First: great coffee.

Third: atmosphere, Lofty earns its name from the large, elevated patio that sets it back from the foot traffic on the street.
Fifth: are the staff that knows their products and are masters in preparation and presentation of all things Lofty.“

“I love sweetgreen! I always eat crispy rice bowl, I’m obsessed. Regularly every Monday actually. I have to tell I don’t like the fact that some workers are more generous and some of them not. I feel full sometimes and I’m like not full at all sometimes. For 17$ of chicken bowl that should be fair amount of chicken. Some of them just put less protein then other and hopefully they can be more careful about that!“

“Had the salmon and it was delicious. Good clean atmosphere and hospitable, attentive staff.“

“Outstanding salads! Friendly staff!“

“👍excelente comida, ambiente agradable“

“Delicious house made ice cream with a variety of flavors and cones. Large portions and the hot fudge is yummy. It’s a walk up window without inside access—a no indoor seating. Only a few outside picnic tables in a busy area in State Street. Coaster Station is directly behind with lots of shops, restaurants, coffee within walking distance. Definitely stop in if you’re craving creamy deliciousness.“

“Consistently delicious and friendly service.“

“Very delicious cookies, in my opinion a little pricey, but for certain occasions that you are craving sweet, they are perfect. I like the originality of having new cookies every week, that is awesome, a lot of creativity. The place is very clean and nice.“

“My brother, husband, and I have been coming here for years. This is our local spot for sushi, and we will be lifelong customers for sure! We love their happy hour specials (from 3:30-5:30). When we can't decide what to eat, we get the lunch bento box combo and it hits the spot every time! I think I've tried every non-spicy roll on their menu. If you're down to get something that tastes as fantastic as it looks, go for the Cucumber Special Roll. It won't disappoint!“

“I thought the service was very friendly. The bowls were reasonably priced. There is a large selection of proteins and other items for the bowls. Also, the service is fast.“

“A lovely restaurant in Carlsbad, just a short walk from the beach, with plenty of parking nearby. If you’re craving authentic Nepalese flavors, this is a fantastic spot to try.

I ordered the goat curry, which was absolutely finger-licking delicious, paired perfectly with their garlic naan and a Himalayan beer. We also enjoyed the yellow daal, aloo parantha, and their warm, comforting chai.

The restaurant has a cozy ambiance, making it a great place to relax and enjoy dinner. Clean restrooms and convenient parking around the village fair area make the experience even better. Overall, a hidden gem worth visiting when in Carlsbad.“

“Just had the most fantastic lunch. Caesar salad was amazing, fish and chips were the best I’ve ever seen, I understand the pizza had a little too much red pepper sprinkled on, but all of it was just delicious. They’re not open for a Sunday brunch, but we wish they were.“

“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“

“One of my favorites! The breads are the BEST!“

“Desayuno muy rico cafecito y ensaladas deliciosas todo fresco ☕️😀“

“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.“

“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. ❤️“

“One of the best sandwiches and great service“
