Order your food inside and if you are lucky, find a spot to sit in one of the many patio tables outside. Fresh healthy food exquisitely prepared. Favorite breakfast spot amongst locals.

This is the perfect spot for a morning coffee with a pastry before a stroll on the beach, or a light breakfast. Their quiche is delicious and they make a really good banana latte.

Their chocolate almond croissant is the best. Omelette and coffee are okay

Cute little Carlsbad coffee shop walking distance from the ocean. Good pasty and coffee Latte. Loved that they had some nice coffee style music playing. Sat outside and enjoyed the nice weather. Plenty of outdoor seating.

It is hard to beat the outdoor seating area of this coffee shop right across from the oceanfront. There are cozy fire pits to enjoy in the morning. The coffee is strong and prepared with flourish. I particularly liked their fresh pastries.

Café Elysa in Carlsband is a nice and cozy gem. I loved the rich Latte, the eggs and the homemade bakery, which was perfectly sweet. The friendly staff made my visit even better, very good service. A great spot for a relaxing day if you are in the area.

Prompt service and great outdoor seating …

Nice Spot to enjoy your breakfast, dogs are allowed. Prices are good and a huge selection. Every item I get always taste fresh and good. They always seem to have a long line. My tomato sandwich was delicious and only about 8 dollars
