    Blt Benedict with the jalapeno hollandaise sauce
    Desiree W.

    The food here never disappoints! Recently went for my birthday with a couple friends and the food was amazing as always and the wait wasn't too long so it was a win! Service was great as well.

    Blueberry and cinnamon cake. We just can't wait.

    A shout out to Ruben, one of the managers who was gracious enough to treat us to some baked goods before we left. And Sophia, who took such good care of us. This is our second time here and it is very nice and very, breakfast fancy. Is the best way to put it. We had the lemon ricotta pancake that had a blueberry on top with whipped cream and the eggs Benedict. That's we're just perfect. We ordered a little of the spicy hollandaise on the side to try it and it was just fantastic. Such a beautiful place and a great location and the nicest people in the world. Thank you so much

    This place was busy but seating was quick. The menu had many healthy options. Loved the fresh squeezed juice. I order the breakfast sandwich and it was delicious. The waitress was great here too.

    Corner spot!

    Got here at 8:15 on a Saturday. There were plenty of seats available and the bar was fully open. Even as 8:30 rolled around, you'd be fine getting a great seat. I was surprised. Happily surprised. I ordered a Vanilla Latte - extra hot. It was wonderful. After a bit it cooled down more than my liking (I microwave my morning coffee probably 2-3 times while drinking it. I know ...) My waitress offered to do the same - I've never had anyone offer to warm my cup back up. Well it was PERFECT and she allowed me to fully enjoy my cuppa right down to the last sip. A big THANK YOU for that. My friend and I shared the Spinach and Mushroom Hash plate. It was good - I didn't care for the pickled onions though - I'll take them out next time. Their homemade jams were delicious as well. Overall, great option for breakfast/lunch. The staff is super accommodating and the place is clean. The food ain't bad either .

    You walk in and it's friendly greeting. Tuck away in Carlsbad time here.started with Paseo real piña colada', pineapple mimosa. Salmon scrambled eggs, hash browns, apple sausage, fresh fruits. If you are hunting for the absolute perfect breakfast or lunch destination, look no further than Beach Plum Kitchen in Carlsbad. It is highly rated for a reason, and it completely lives up to the hype. The moment you walk in, you are greeted by a beautifully contemporary yet cozy cafe atmosphere. It has the perfect warm, welcoming neighborhood vibe that makes you want to sit back, relax, and stay a while. Whether you are catching up with friends or having a family meal, the space feels bright and inviting. We will definitely come again.

    I came here with friends around 11am on a Saturday. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. We were seated right away at an outdoor table. Our waitress was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. I ordered the Avocado Toast. It came with a generous portion of avocado and a side salad. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. I would definitely order it again. My only complaint is that the tables and surrounding areas could have been wiped down more thoroughly.

    -Breakfast Sandwich- with Hash Browns
    Andrea R.

    First time at this restaurant and it was super busy with a private party in their outdoor patio and a 20-30min wait for a table. Luckily it was just 2 of us and we were able to be seated immediately at the counter. The staff was friendly and attentive. We got fresh squeezed OJ, fried chicken and waffles, chocolate chip pancakes, and the breakfast sandwich with hash browns. All of our food was delicious and we had plenty to take home as leftovers. Reasonably priced for great restaurant quality food. (If you want cheaper prices then go elsewhere and get cheap fast food.) The parking lot was full that day. I heard a customer mention he parked all the way on the other side of the shopping center since there was no parking close by. Be cautious of the two areas with one way lanes and there's some spots reserved for the Well Fargo bank (although it was a Sunday so people took any space they could find).

    The six dollar pancake became eight and the $1.95 supplemental fee is just because.

    I did a review on this place this morning. I don't know where it went. Once I got the bill I just wanted to give you guys a heads up. My wife and I got the eggs Benedict and shared that, it was perfect. Also, there was a side of a pancake and we asked if we could have that as the lemon and ricotta pancake, and they said yes. And we got 2 cups of coffee. They have a spicy hollandaise, but I asked for regular and asked for a little on the side to try the spicy. Here's the heads up. although I was told it would be six dollars it turned out to be eight dollars for the pancake because we wanted the lemon ricotta, but then we were also charged a supplemental fee of two dollars just "because" according to the server. I guess they're calling it a supplemental fee. It looks like on the receipt. It's for the lemon ricotta but when I asked about it because the pancake edition should be six dollars, and it was eight dollars, then $1.95 for supplemental and it was explained to me that that is because things are more expensive now. I could've probably asked for it to be removed but it's two bucks. I was not gonna worry about it, but I just wanted to give everybody a heads up. The people are nice. The ambience is perfect and the food is delicious but when the bill comes, it's going to have a few surprises.

    Spinach & Mushroom Hash
    Ann V.

    I usually have a good experience at this brunch spot. Here's a fun fact...the beach plum is a native fruit which grows mostly in the wild along the coastal communities from Maine to Virginia. I thought it was super cool that the owners are East Coast transplants just like me. The atmosphere is inviting and laid-back. I can tell the cleaning is kept up with. The staff are welcoming when I dine-in... seating is pretty quick and service very good. There are a plethora of food options, some traditional and some innovative. I'm a big fan of their house-made jams. I pretty much always enjoy my meals. Beach Plum Kitchen is where a good brunch is at Yelp Community :-)

    Apple Maps can either get you here or close by. It is located to the very left if you are looking directly at Cinepolis. I chose this spot because I had a birthday credit for $10 off from the Toast appI thought they served cocktails but they only had mimosas. I have been to this place for brunch years ago and remember it was good but today. I just had a mimosa mixed with cranberry and it was ok. The service is great and everyone I dealt with was very friendly.

    Tunacado
    Megan A.

    The lemon ricotta pancake is creamy & delicious. Get one pancake & let everyone taste. We had the tunacado & carnitas hash. The tuna was fresh &!so good w/the pesto. The carnitas were okay. It felt a little too heavy for breakfast for me. Some of the meat was fatty. It was still good but I would get something different next time. Our server was spot on w/service & detail. The ambiance is great for a breakfast venue. I will say, I've lived in Carlsbad for 8 years & I've never noticed their sign. They need to invest in a better sign, so it's noticed from the street. Just my two cents.

    -New York Steak and Eggs-
    Aurianna B.

    Stopped in for brunch over the weekend and was surprised that we didn't have to wait too long for a table (around 20 minutes for a party of 7). Our waitress was very sweet and accommodating and they allowed us to have a dog on the patio. Everything on the menu sounded great. I went with the steak and eggs which was seasoned and cooked perfectly. My son ordered the chilaquiles (not pictured) and that was also good, not too spicy but flavorful. My other kids both othered the strawberry shortcake pancakes that were fluffy and sweet but not overly sweet. Lastly my husband ordered the chicken biscuits with gravy and holy smokes that was the best! So rich and filling! Overall, great food, good location and friendly staff. We'd be happy to come back again when we're in the area.

    Is the 5% surcharge optional? We were a party of 2. The 5% fee not transparent upfront and once we received the bill, we learned it was at bottom of the "BACK" of menu in very tiny letters, but this was only after we had our meal. Disappointing :(

    Yea unfortunately it's added to ur bill right away

    Do you still serve, gluten-free pancakes?

    Yes, we do!

    Do you serve, gluten-free pancakes, waffles, or GF French toast?

    We do have gf pancakes but no waffles or French toast

    How is the brunch?

    It is excellent. Fresh juice, homemade jam and deliciousness all over.

    Are there beach views and o outside seating?

    Even though you can't see the beach the patio seating is lovely and the beach isn't too far off. I still think you should come here because the food is so so tasty.

    I read you only have two vegan options porridge and potatoes ? Is this true?

    We also have house made granola, avocado toast and mushroom spinach hash which you can sub eggs for avocado, chiliquilles sub eggs for avocado is also vegan. In addition, all of our breads are vegan. Let me know if I can answer any other questions.… 

    Do they have Gluten free options?

    Yes we do!

    How bad is the wait on a Sunday afternoon and are you stroller friendly?

    You can put your name on the waitlist through Yelp. Our peak hours are 9-12 with the wait hovering around 45 minutes during that time. Just be sure to check in with the hostess when you get here. We don’t allow strollers at the table but we do have… 

    Do you have a gluten free menu?

    Yes we have a gluten sensitive menu.

    About 19 people on 10/20/18 around 10am?

    You can put your name on the waitlist 30 minutes prior to your planned arrival and we should be able to get you in close to your desired time. However, we won’t be able to provide a private room at this time.… 

    Do you accept a big group reservation? Like let say 20 people?

    What day and time are you looking for? Will you be needing a private room? Thanks!

    Is this a dog friendly place?

    Yes :) You and your pup are allowed to sit in the patio area. They have a few designated dog tables so once those open up, you're good to go! Just let them know beforehand if you can!

    Are there mimosa flights?

    Yes

    Where's a good place for pancakes in Carlsbad NM?

    I feel like you asked about a Carlsbad CA restaurant vs Carlsbad NM so you're getting a lot of misguided answers. Good luck.

    Do they serve alcohol? I'm hoping for a Bloody Mary with my bacon breakfast....

    Yes

    Are dogs allowed on the patio?

    Yes, most definitely!

It was a nice bagel shop and everything looked cleaned plus well organized. They offer a variety of other bagels, bagel sandwiches, coffees and beverages. It's definitely a bagel spot to check out.

It just tasted like a straight up sweetened iced latte. Don't get me wrong, it's a great latte. But I guess I was just expecting to get more of the banana and maple flavors, especially since I was pretty excited about that flavor combination. The staff were welcoming and friendly, and the ambiance was great. I love that they have their roasting machine right where people can observe and watch the process if they wanted to. They have ample tables and chairs indoor, and a few outdoor as well. I'm pretty sure I'll be coming back here. I'll probably try the Caramel Cream Latte next time.

    Really enjoyed my visit to Atelier Manna!!…read more First, they are now TAKING RESERVATIONS. We didn't realize that until morning of. It's easier for them and easier for us - they can count how many people are coming & you don't have to worry about waiting an hour. Vibes are great. Food is lovely (though expensive!). My fave dish was the amazing summer porridge. Sure it's $32 for the dish - but this is a Michelin-quality place (Bib Gourmand, not a star) so not for every day and it was delicious. Basically like a risotto, ate every grain. Check out the gorgeous pic! People are high on the Turkish eggs - but I thought they were meh, and tiny for $23. Not one of the best values here, IMHO. We wanted to try the vaunted French toast, but they had run out by the time of our reservation. On the recommendation of our server & my friend Jiansen in his review here, we also ordered the Pistachio Bread Pudding. It was beautiful, tasty, light and photo worthy! And also on Jiansen's rec, I tried the jasper, which was like a cold coffee mocktail on the rocks (steady state coffee. cherry. chaga. vanilla. rose vinegar. lemon). Tasty and interesting! We really liked the vibes too. They take reservations for 1:30 pm, though they're closing technically at 2. The manager (whose name I am forgetting - but he is from Philly and super nice!) told us "they don't close" and we could sit and enjoy & not be in their way while they closed up, but a few of the other staff members seemed to be wanting us to leave. So keep that in mind if you get one of the last reservations; lingering with a friend might be a bit challenging. But we had a great time, and I especially enjoyed the summer porridge. I'll definitely come again (and know I should make a reservation) - but it's probably better to come earlier before they run out of anything & before we're in their way while they're cleaning up! Oh - and parking can be a real challenge. Come early and check out the side streets!
