    My overall experience was very positive! Great selection of name brand shops stocked to the limits, casual restaurants and ample parking for all. Had no problem finding a nice fitting hoodie at Tommy Hilfiger, and some jeans at Calvin Klein that didn't break the bank Most importantly I would recommend for your family needs.

    I like they have some stores I like but not many. Small enough to look around quickly so we stopped by again. My husband wanted to buy Levi's jeans but his size wasn't there. I got some clothes from Ralph Lauren.

    Carlsbad Premium Outlets is located just off the I-5 freeway and next to the famous Botanical Gardens. As shared by many reviews, the outlet features a wide range of stores, from luxury labels like Coach to popular brands such as Nike. The open-air layout is pleasant, and the center is well-kept, making it a comfortable shopping experience. Deals are available so be the bargain hunter!! With plenty of parking and dining options nearby. Like many "hub spots" the area is now equipped with EV charging stations for both Telsa and non-Telsa (EVGo). It's a great place to charge up, grab a Starbucks and to spend the day scoring deals while enjoying the beautiful Carlsbad weather.

    I am beyond angry with Sunglass Hut and how they handled a $654 charge that should have been refunded months ago. On 12/18, I placed an online order for sunglasses with in-store pickup selected and was immediately charged $654. Shortly after, I received an email saying the item was not available for pickup and would instead be shipped to the store. That same day, I called the store directly and was told they had the sunglasses in the back and to come pick them up. When I arrived, I was then told I could not receive them under my existing online order and was forced to purchase the exact same sunglasses AGAIN in a separate transaction. The store assured me that once the original online order arrived, they would return it on my behalf and issue a refund for the original $654. I trusted them. That was my mistake. Weeks passed. No refund. I returned to the store and was told the original order had been received and returned, yet no receipt, no confirmation, no proof of refund was ever provided. I contacted corporate customer service, who confirmed: Their system still shows the original item as DELIVERED TO THE STORE, with NO RECORD of a return or refund ever being initiated. I relayed this back to the store. They once again promised the refund would be issued. That conversation happened over two weeks ago. Still nothing. As of today, the $654 charge is STILL on my account, despite multiple assurances, multiple follow-ups, and zero documentation to back up the store's claims. Sunglass Hut has now taken my money, provided no product for that charge, and cannot produce any proof that they returned or refunded anything. This is not a mistake, this is gross incompetence at best and extremely unethical at worst. In attempt to "help" me the manager Yvette has given me her direct cell phone number but is now not replying to me. Save yourself the headache, the stress, and the risk of being double-charged. I will never shop here again, and I strongly recommend others think twice before trusting this company with their money.

    I am so used to going to the UTC and Fashion Valley malls that never went up north to check these outlets. I was in the area for something else and stopped by to check some stores. For some reason I was not very impressed with this mall, I was expecting luxurious landscaping, places to sit, and a more beautiful look. Also, did not find any special deal even if I checked at various sport outfit stores.

    There is finally decently good food here this stall actually has a line in front of it now you don't have to bring Outside food into the mall

    Carlsbad Premium Outlet was not busy on a weekday.

    Yes there is

    Is there a lululemon store?

    No, there isn't one.

    Does anybody's know what stores are open I've been trying to search it up and nothing pops out?

    I don't think there's a list available online, I want to say about 70% of the stores are open, just don't know which ones. Certain stores do close, depending on their staffing schedule, like for breaks/lunch. Sorry, can't give a detailed answer.

    Is there a Gucci outlet?

    No there is a Guess

    Open right now for Black Friday?

    They do participate in the Black Friday Event. Kick off is typically 6 pm.

    Is there a play area for children?

    No, however there is a small train for kids to ride. I think it is around $3

    Where has Nine West been relocated to? Will they re-open?

    They have closed all their stores. I was disappointed about that.

    Does anyone know who the artist is that brings all his art and sells them outside?

    Derek From Quality Fine Arts

    Do they have the cosmetic company?

    Yes, The Cosmetics Company is located at this outlet

    How are prices at the bose store?

    Depends on what you're looking for. They carry older model products and some factory refurbished items. Factory refurbished may save you on average $50. They do have high end products too $2800+.

Big bold signs screaming "30% OFF," racks full of mixed items, and then you find out the discount only applies to a small print "fleece only". Meanwhile, similar-looking activewear is sitting right there in the same rack like it belongs. I'll own my part, I didn't see the "fleece only" note. That's on me. But when you've got 20+ pieces of non-sale items sitting in the middle of a rack clearly marked for a discount, that's just bad practice. Feels less like shopping and more like a setup. First asked for clarification about how discounts work. Then a price check. After the sale I walked over to confirm sign. Someone asked me "can J help you", I Asked if this is how they normally do things? And got a casual "yeah" and a shrug. No effort to make it right, no attempt to meet halfway. Just a quick apology and move on. I've worked customer service. If something ends up on a sale rack, you own it. You fix it. Or at least try. This just felt like bait and switch with zero accountability.

First the good: amazing renovations have improved the shopping experience. New flooring; sitting areas with power outlets and comfortable chairs; very comfortable outdoor living space with modern conveniences; a PAW-sitive environment for a 4 legged friends; a very clean and well maintained modern shopping area. The restaurants are all centrally located. Lots of parking areas with easy access. The bad: a sad commentary on the shopping climate/culture with an abundance of closed and empty restaurants and stores. The online shopping experience has resulted in brick and mortar businesses to experience more and more contraction of their customer base since the pandemic of COVID-19. At the time of my visit, there were a few number of shoppers in the mall. It saddens me to see the effects of the online shopping economy. I will try to support more businesses in physical stores and retail shops. It's difficult when you compete with the low price points and convenience of next day delivery from online retailers.

    Update since my last review over two years ago…read more.. I was eyeing a Tumi backpack off their website - but the fact that it wasn't available at the Tumi nearby me (at South Coast Plaza) made me a bit iffy. When buying backpacks/luggage, I like to be able to see and feel the quality, size it up, look at all the different compartments, etc. Since Orange County didn't have a Tumi outlet store - I remembered this one in Carlsbad where I had bought my wallet a few years ago. While they didn't have the exact model I wanted off their website (Alpha Bravo Davis) - I settled on the Parrish 16" backpack after browsing their vast selection here. Dassa (sp?) was totally awesome and provided attentive, personalized service. When I had zeroed in on the Parrish and was looking it over - she suggested removing the interior "paper puffs" that came with the backpack to help it stand up. She explained that this would allow me to really see the true dimensions of the pack, and explore all the different compartments - very thoughtful suggestion! When I decided to get the pack, I asked for a non-display model, and Dassa happily obliged. Dassa was also able to get my pack monogrammed - and while there was a palette of different colors to choose from - she helped narrow it down to two colors that she felt would look best, considering my pack's black/gray/blue blend of colors. Totally appreciative of that - since I would've otherwise spent much more time making that decision. Finally, I'm happy that I landed an amazing deal on this backpack - it was half off its full retail price. It ended up costing less than the model that I had originally wanted off the Tumi website. Monogramming the nameplate was complimentary. Great price for a brand known worldwide for its quality, style, function. Thanks, Dassa for taking such great care of me!
