    bought three heirloom tomatoes for a caprese salad -- so good they made the drive worthwhile even if they were all we got.
    Scott T.

    been stopping at CARLSBAD RANCH MARKET for years but swinging by now that their neighbor, Tip Top Meats, has shuttered their doors is suddenly a lot harder. the "hey, their sandwiches are also really good" has proved to be a handy excuse on multiple occasions. can't say enough positive things (still) about their organic, local heirloom tomatoes. my eighteen-year-old needed a couple for a Caprese Salad and it was lunchtime anyway. don't you just love the synchronicity of the universe?

    Visited today for the first time. Ordered an egg salad sandwich on squaw bread. The egg salad is very chunky and tastes pretty good. It definitely needed more salt and pepper. The bread was also quite dry and started to fall apart. I had to eat about half without bread and with a fork. For the price I would expect the bread not to do that. I do think the portions are very good. The sandwich was made as ordered! Nice little market. May return and try a different sandwich and bread.

    Walter wrap

    Their deli makes really delicious wraps, smoothies, and juices. Highly recommend the Walter wrap. It's light but huge, they really pack it up, so I recommend sharing one. It's fresh and delicious, a perfect healthy lunch option that I would be happy to eat everyda They are pricey but you can find discounts online.

    They sell very cute and unique cards

    these was my first time at these deli and minimart. They sell a good assortment of fresh produce, wine, crackers, snacks, and other food. The food selections look really interesting. Additionally, they have a deli counter where they make incredible sandwiches. The prices were reasonable for the very large and well prepared sandwiches. I tried the tuna sandwich with sprouts, lettuce, tomato pepperoncini, and cheddar cheese on a wheat roll! The tuna salad was freshly made and had many vegetables in it. The sandwich was very large. I thought it was a great value. I also saw that they have some breakfast sandwiches at very good prices. I would highly recommend coming here and trying them, much better than any other chain!

    Vince, he's the man!

    This is just a great place, it's my wife's favorite spot to pick up lunch. Vince and his crew are always right on it with suggestions and great food. Plus the vegetables and fruit and interesting drinks are worth the visit. The sandwiches are huge and we only get half sandwiches. A little out-of-the-way you have to find it but once you do, you'll go back forever.

    Barely any cream cheese
    Cerena P.

    This place is super cute and has a lot of great items! Fresh salads, juice, guacamole, craft beer and tons of unique items that I've never even seen before. They also have a deli where they offer fresh made sandwiches and smoothies. Walking in I was not greeted once, the customer service could definitely use some work. I didn't feel welcome at all. I ordered a turkey sandwich from the deli. You grab a slip and circle the items you would like. Easy process. The prices on everything here was quite pricy, the deli sandwich was $11 but it would of been worth it if it was good. My sandwich was very bland. I was really disappointed with the lack on ingredients they use. There was almost no cream cheese on my sandwich and barely any avocado. The only avocado I was able to find was also brown. I was pretty disappointed based on the great reviews. Overall I won't be coming back here for a sandwich, but I do like the uniqueness of items they provide here. Great place for a pit stop.

    Spicy Turkey Wrap. 5 stars!

    Do they still have the salad bar, where you can pick and choose items by the pound? Will be visiting soon, and would definitely like to stop by if that's still the case.

    I was there a month ago and they still had the salad bar with great options

    Is this a dog friendly place?

    Service animals are allowed.

    When will the new location in Business Park be open? I see September but not what day. We are so excited! Can't wait to check it out!

They've done a fantastic job creating an outdoor experience that's genuinely fun and engaging for kids of all ages. I also loved the "lead experiences" they host every hour.

The farm has on Thursdays and Sundays a pay what you can farm stand. This has been a tremendous help to the community, especially when Covid hit. When purchasing items it is private so other people cannot see if you need to use the opportunity to purchase items at a discounted price or at full price. There are also many educational opportunities on the farm. Camps for kids, after school programs and other events are available throughout the year. The farm recently opened a coffee cart as well. Swing by and get fresh coffee along with your fruits and vegetables. There are also chickens on the farm and fresh eggs are sold every Sunday. If you like to eat the rainbow, or try new vegetables, this might be the spot for you as well, depending on when you arrive at the farm, you can see the vegetables coming in just after they have been picked to be sold.

Everyone had a bottle and rightfully so, super nutritious and delicous - this farmers market is at a elementary school which is great -parking can be tough but we had parked in downtown Encinitas and just walked over (about 20 minutes)

However, when it was my turn, his demeanor completely changed. He barely spoke a word to me, avoided basic customer-service interactions, and seemed annoyed by my presence from the start. At one point, I apologized for having several packs of hot dog buns, and he simply ignored me. The only thing he said to me during the entire transaction was asking for my ID for alcohol. He didn't greet me, didn't ask if I wanted bags, didn't thank me, and generally acted as though he couldn't be bothered to acknowledge me at all. He silently scanned my items and then stared at me when it was time to pay. What made the contrast even more noticeable was that before I had even finished checking out, he had already started joking and chatting with the man behind me in line, just as he had with the customer before me. The difference in how he treated me compared to the men around me was impossible to ignore and came across as incredibly rude and, frankly, sexist. The bright spot of this experience was Jilly, who was helping bag groceries. She was kind, friendly, and genuinely pleasant. Her professionalism and warmth were the only reason this visit wasn't a complete negative. Customer service should be consistent for everyone. Unfortunately, Jason made me feel unwelcome and dismissed, while Jilly demonstrated exactly how customers should be treated.
