It's a small shop with a great ambiance and vibe. Family friendly and the have a great small selection of Parlor Doughnut merch. We sampled 6 donuts : lemon, churro, sandy beach, French toast, coconut, blueberry. All good choices but French toast was the majority winner. We will be going back after 11 to try the new Savory pizza style selections. You can't say you have been to Oceanside unless you go to Parlor Doughnuts!

Okay, I was already excited for gelato, but this place somehow managed to exceed expectations…read more First off, every flavor we tried was amazing, but the pistachio? Yeah... that's the one. I would happily make questionable life decisions for another scoop of it. But honestly, what made this experience stand out wasn't just the gelato--it was Venezia. Huge shoutout to her for being so patient while we stood there completely incapable of making a decision. Instead of rushing us, she took the time to help us figure out what flavors we actually wanted and gave us recommendations that absolutely did not miss. She was incredibly sweet, genuinely welcoming, and made the whole experience so much better. And listen, this place is about an hour drive for me. An HOUR. Yet I'm already planning my return trip because the quality of the gelato and the service made it 100% worth it. If you're anywhere near this place, do yourself a favor and stop by. The gelato is ridiculously creamy, packed with flavor, and made with the kind of quality you can taste immediately. Dare I say it... the creaminess might even be better than An's Gelato . 10/10. Came for the gelato, left wanting to be friends with Venezia

Love that the menu says "Not on the menu, just ask :)" that's so awesome! Loveeee great customer service, which that implies that they'll make it if they can We went with our children (3 of them) and the girl wasn't very kid friendly, but she did make really good hot chocolates so there's that. They stay pretty busy and it's pretty small inside. we ended up trying the Indian food next door and totally recommend that too!

One small tip it would be nice to have a small sticker on the plastic wrap with the name of the item along with the label on the shelf!! Would also be nice to have discounts with you buy a box with several choices! Drinks are very good too! I will continue to return often!

Haven't been home for years and this was so exciting to see a new bakery. Everything looked great…read more My friend bought a strawberry cake from here that was very good. I purchased a Toffee latte that tasted good. My only complaint was that it was a whole two knuckles short for $6.95. I would think it would be at least to the top of brim. Also, be very careful. It was so hot that it burnt my tongue. There were two people working and it took about 10 minutes for me to get my coffee. I tried the White chocolate chip cookies but they just were not that flavorful, yet they were huge in size. Just bland. My daughter asked a local, is there anything really good that we should try. His response was, HMMMM some things are good some and others not so much. She decided not to get anything. The place was very busy on Saturday at 4 PM. Since it was kind of new at the time, when I come back in Nov this year, I will go back out and try again. The restaurant was clean and tidy.

My friend and I had a wonderful first visit at Bliss Tea & Treats with Rushell! Her current…read morelocation is in her transformed back patio. As soon as you walk through the entrance gate, you are transported to a lovely tea garden. We did make reservations ahead as it is reservation only. Rushell greeted us and we were quickly seated. We chose the La Dolce Vita Tea Experience. We were able to sniff the tea leaves first in individual test tubes which absolutely helped me pick my tea. I loved that experience! Once everything was selected, we were brought out our teas and salads. The salad was refreshing and I especially enjoyed the fresh tomatoes, garbanzo beans, and house vinaigrette. I had the Eiffel tea and absolutely loved it. I typically prefer black teas with either hints of floral or fruit notes and this tea had the perfect combination. We were then given our individual towers/ tea tiers which consisted of three sandwiches (smoked salmon pinwheels, apple Brie melt, and Prosciutto, Feta And Balsamic Fig Sandwich) of our choosing, a cranberry orange cake scone with creme Fraîche and strawberry preserves, and a trio of desserts (lemon cake with blueberries, petite four, and a rosemary shortbread). I honestly loved everything I ordered. I loved the cake scone as it was very moist and the sandwiches were all divine with powerful flavors in each bite. I didn't love the creme fraîche, as I prefer clotted cream with my scones, but it does offer a great break from sweetness of the cake scone. I especially enjoyed how toasted the Apple Brie melt was. I love short breads and petite fours, so I'm a bit biased but they were my favorite desserts. Not only did we have a lovely time due to the atmosphere, tea, and delicious food, but we thoroughly enjoyed Rushell herself! She was so welcoming and shared so much with us. Happy to always support local and especially women-owned businesses. I can't wait to go back!

Thank you for the last 18 years....your breakfast/lunch menu was always made with freshness and love. Your pastries are next level, what more can I say...and the staff were always so amazing! I didn't get to write this in your memory book, but every time I had the pleasure of eating in-it was pure zen. Good food, relaxing environment, and good people....it will all be missed. Thanks for it all!

I've only been to Petit Madeline twice…read more Once before we moved to Oceanside and once more recently, a 10 year gap. And when I had a taste of their food a couple of days ago, I'm not sure why I didn't come back sooner. Service was very pleasant. Plenty of seating. Had the chicken and waffles and it was really good. The savory crepes could use less onions but the meat had a lot of flavor. Good locatin also, close (ish) walk to the pier if you want to burn off the calories. Not waiting 10 years to go here again.

The best churros I've ever had, and they also serve tacos. I'll be back to try their tacos and more…read moredesserts. Service was great, and the atmosphere has mom-and-pop shop vibes with a very welcoming and clean feel. They also have both Spanish and Mexican style churros with dips you can get filled or on the side: caramel, dulce de leche, or chocolate. Both versions are tasty and come out fresh!! Don't skimp on the potato balls and sandwiches too. I just love this place. I also love that they have affogatos with a legit espresso machine. They use vanilla soft serve for their affogato, and it was delicious. I didn't even miss the traditional gelato aspect.

We came here on Mother's Day for dessert, after our brunch. I had heard good things and wanted to…read morecome and try it out. I love churros, and they make theirs fresh while you wait, which makes it so much better then getting a churro that's been sitting under a heater and drying out. They have several varieties of churros and different ways that you can order them. They also serve soft serve vanilla ice cream. We got the vanilla soft serve along with the bag of churros, which contains three of them. They came out piping hot and fresh, covered and that delicious cinnamon sugar. They were excellent and paired with the ice cream, it was a nice treat. The ice cream had a good texture but did taste a bit artificial, but i definitely still enjoyed it. Bottom line, of you look he churros this is your spot. They also serve food, which we unfortunately didn't get to try on this visit. They do have a small parking lot in the back and also some tables outside to sit on.

So this little cute shop is located in Carlsbad Village. We came on a Saturday morning at around…read more11am and it was pretty easy to find parking . There was a large lot maybe 1 block away that we parked at and then walked in from there. Inside, there was a line but it moved pretty fast. The donuts on display look so gooddd, we had to try one even though I was originally there for coffee. Person behind the donut area was really nice with great customer service! Cashier was the same! They have a little water stand you can get some water from too which was nice after chowing down on the donut. The donut itself was so good. Right amount of fluffiness and taste and crispiness. I'm still thinking about the donut and how good it was. I will come again one day.

The donuts are still beautiful and food good but their service has really gone downhill…read more Two girls at the counter chatting when I walked in. It took a moment to get their attention. I smiled and commented on the donuts and that broke their gossipy reverie. One immediately walked away like she couldn't be bothered to work, only a paid gossiper. There was no one in the store other than me. She rung me up with a flat attitude like she just got out of jail and was miserable. Her name is Bre. I ordered a dirty chai. With two other items. She wouldn't give a to go box like they usually do. It came off super cheap. She told me to just cover it with a lid even tho I told her I had a dog in the car that would eat it and it was chocolate sprinkle. Traditionally they stop and make the coffee and then move on to the next guest. She was in a really bad mood so she kept taking donut orders until about 5 guests deep. Then she got 2 other coffee orders so she stopped to make coffee. About 10 to 15 minutes after I paid for my other order she makes my dirty chai. A kid and a mom are right by the counter. The kid grabs my drink and spills it on the counter and on the floor. She sees this. It's right in front of her. She says oh no that's not yours. Then she wipes it off and tries to pass it off to me like I didn't see. I said no, you're not going to re make it? She goes no, it's not my fault he spilled it. I was like I want a refund. She goes why. I'm like the drink spilled and you didn't even offer or try to remake it. This place had really gone downhill. Service is awful. The donuts look nice but they've been sitting out and are stale. The same with crossaint I had. I would not go back here anymore. Awful experience. Drove out of my way to come here today. It's a shame. This place used to be really friendly and fresh and top of the line customer service, Management needs to rework things before they completely go downhill but it seems they are already there.
