There are a number of casual eating venues, banks, professional services, and other retailers. The Target and Stater Brothers here are two of our favorites.

I love this shopping center. Whenever I'm in town I seem to end up here for one thing for another;…read morethey really have everything. The parking lot(s) can get a little crazy, but it's actually not as bad as other locations. And there's plenty of parking, so no issues there. What I like about this center is that it has a little bit of everything. They have fast food (McDonald's), sit-down restaurants (BW3, Thai food, Indian food, etc.), shopping (Target), and plenty of other places I just haven't even noticed yet. I wish I lived near a shopping center like this, it truly is a one-stop shop for anything you need.

Caution....don't visit the public restrooms because they are always disgusting! Dirty, neglected, un-stocked, smelly!

Thursdays are…read moreespecially great during the Summer, you can grab a bite eat and a drink or two and stroll down the street and check out the classic cars for cruise night. They also have live music in the Lumberyard courtyard. We went on a Thursday evening around 5pm, it wasn't too crowded. It really started to pick up around 6:30pm. Plenty to wander and do, great way to spend a Summer evening for sure!

Small shopping center next to the flower field, I mean directly next to it!…read more Found a cute purse at Coach that wasn't sold online anymore n was sold out everywhere else! Workers were very attentive and helpful. Actually had to go back and buy it bc I couldn't stop thinking about it lol Went to the toy store and found rare stuff my son was hunting for so that was a treat. The staff there were also very helpful and gave my son few free sleeves for his one piece cards. The place is very small, very clean and all the stores were organized. It wasn't very packed on a Saturday, it didn't feel that way but the parking was a hot mess. Lol maybe bc they share parking with the flower field. My favorite is the view of the flower field next door. Really is heaven on earth when you see such colors surrounding you.

Very strange that majority of the sales being advertised at the outlet stores here are "Buy 1 Get 1…read more50% off".. which to me, isn't much of a deal. Where's the 60, 70% off? Lol. I guess not too common nowadays. These outlets in general is pretty standard with pretty empty crowds so it's not hard to find a parking spot. The vibes here feel like more of a casual mall with the food and iced tea shops having more people in line for than any of the retail stores. However.. I was able to find a great deal at one of the stores! Still worth walking around to look and browse through some stores. Children activities.. they have a fun life-sized checkers board to play with and even a train ride.

The shopping center is a new staple of Encinitas that was built recently and the Walmart filled a…read moreformer Home Depot showroom. Because of this the parking lot fills up quickly, since the parking ratios for the showroom and full retail for Walmart are vastly different, so there appears to be shortage. It can be hard to maneuver your car around and get into the somewhat tight spaces. However, don't let this complaint limit why you'd come here since there's variety of dining and shopping eats to suit everyone!

There are plenty of stores, from cute knick-knack shops like Miniso to clothing stores like Vuori…read more You'll also find Handel's Ice Cream, Batch & Box Cookie Shop, and Philz Coffee. The customer service was great in my experience, and while it's not an outlet, the stores here are good options. The shopping items here appear like quality and the food and clothing prices feel standard for the area. This mall really has it all, even a fitness studio. There's plenty of parking, plus a Cinépolis. For food at Sky Deck in Del Mar Highlands, I highly recommend Marufuku Ramen. It's so good. Want something other than ramen? No woYou'll find an array of different options at the Sky Deck in Highlands Town Center, including a brewery upstairs.

Most notably a few empty spaces that have been vacant for at least a year. The rent must be high! Hence mostly A paper tenants. They have been replacing the landscaping to be more water wise. The Bar Method is my favorite place with Sprouts and Marshall's tied in second place.

You can choose from pizza shops, Mexican food, burger spots, or just grab coffee from Lofty.

Nice selection of restaurants including Tin Leaf, Tuscany, Beach Plum Kitchen, Allen's NY Pizza, and La Costa Roasting Co. to name a few. It also has great entertainment like Cineopolis, the upscale movie theater. It does have all the retail services that local residents need, like a Vons for those who need to do grocery shopping, UPS for mail and printing services, nail salon, hair cutting, etc. And the newly renovated Carlsbad Library is just across the parking lot, so you can take advantage of all the free services there. On my last visit, I noticed a fairly new set of electric charging stations for electric cars-- nice that green-friendly shoppers can be supported.
