I can't say enough good things about the deliciousness of the food, the wonderful coffees, or the sweet employees. Also, very reasonable prices for the area. If I had my way, this bakery would be transplanted across the country and directly next to my house....More ... read more

Wonderful area to walk and explore. Lots of coffee shops, restaurants, and stores of different varieties. Clean and people were friendly. Nice for when you need a break from the beach.

Hands down, this is the BEST pharmacy. Adam is truly amazing! I was a minute late on Friday afternoon and Adam was locking up and walking out.

I've been coming here for over 10 years strictly for cakes! They are always consistent with their delicious flavors. They also have pastries that are a must try!

Ive had several pedicures here, mostly with my young daughter who is currently 9 years old.  It's convenient, friendly and accommodating to both me and my little one on every occasion. It's also really special to me to visit and patronize the charming Carlsbad Village.  I'm never disappointed.

Tidy small town
I loved the laid back atmosphere in Carlsbad, where everyone seemed so chilled and happy. Several shops with plenty of parking options. There is a good selection of eateries and we had a great breakfast in one of the cafes each morning.

Carlsbad Village is the city's classic commercial district right off the Pacific Ocean. There is a wide variety of restaurants, including some nice outdoor dining alternatives, along with shops and offices. Parking is plentiful and free in the evening.

The French Pastry Cafe made exquisite three tiered cakes for both our 30th and 50th Wedding Anniversaries! And we had a lovely 12 inch Grooms Cake made as well. We love Paris and all things done as only the French do to perfection! When we can’t get to Paris, what do we do? Go to the French Pastry Cafe, of course!

Good place to visit especially on Market Day
Near the train station is the Tourist Office go there first, there is parking and the people are very helpful. If you have problem go to the station parking there always seems to be room there.

Great city but sick of the homeless beggars
I love the village, I walk it every day with my pup. Most places are super dog friendly, even most of the stores. Water bowls are everywhere which makes my fur baby happy.

Carls-not too- bad village
A cute village but not what I was expecting. There’s no “Main Street “ and it’s kind of a sprawling older downtown area. I made the mistake of getting there to look around before anything opened...some things open at 10am and many at 11am. So I didn’t do much besides wander. I spent a bit walking around but couldn’t see taking a ... read more
