Every time that my wife and I travel to San Diego, somehow we always find our way to the Carlsbad…read morePremium Outlets. Sometimes I will just be the two of us, and sometimes a larger group. Stopping by the Carlsbad Premium Outlets is a fun outing for anyone looking to shop a nice set of outlet stores in Carlsbad where the weather is typically lovely outside. There are plenty of stores along with some food options. There are some name brand stores and some stores not tied to name brands. There are deals regularly, especially around times like Black Friday and before and after any holiday. I often take a book and read it outside in a comfortable chair (hopefully out of the sun) while waiting for her to shop. When we went with her parents once, I sat with my father-in-law outside and we eventually stopped by Starbucks for a beverage. There are more than 85 stores and restaurants at the Carlsbad Premium Outlets. My wife's favorite is the Ann Taylor Factory Store. There is also a Coach Outlet, Gap Factory, Michael Kors Outlet, and so much more. Some of the restaurant options include a Blaze Pizza, Starbucks (of course!), Jersey Mike's, Ruby's Diner, Rubio's Coastal Grill, Wetzel's Pretzels, Tea Monks, Panda Express, Oasis Tacos, Mot'to Japanese Grill, and Haagen Dazs. There are other restaurants a short drive from the Outlets if more sit-down restaurants are desired. There are plenty of sales, discounts, and deals. Each day, different sales are listed on their website at https://www.premiumoutlets.com/outlet/carlsbad/deals. There are also military, teacher, and student discounts (all published on their website). Be prepared to share IDs accordingly when taking advantage of the discounts. There is also a free Elite Rewards membership, which you can find out more about at https://plus.simon.com. Each store has its own hours though the general hours at 10 AM to 7 PM from Monday through Thursday, 10 AM to 8 PM on Friday and Saturday, and 11 AM to 7 PM on Sunday. Other amenities of the Carlsbad Premium Outlets include accessible parking, ATMs, a baby changing station, bike racks, drinking fountains, EV charging stations, family restrooms, nursing mother's lounge, public restrooms. strollers, wheelchairs, and so much more.

Was hoping for an Old Navy or Lane Bryant store. The toilet…read morepaper in the restrooms is awful! The public beaches have better toilet paper! This is not even 1/2 ply!

I like Prana as a brand, since they make clothing that is a bit more robust for rock climbing (not…read moreeverything, but plenty). The climber's clothing has reinforcements in key spots and stretches, which is... helpful. I didn't see anything I wanted to climbing but I did find a nice pair of pants which will be prefect for some planned warm vacations. The discounted stuff wasn't all that cheap but on the plus side, they seemed to be selling regular Prana stuff not clothing specifically created for the outlets.

They advertise a 1 time 20% off code, but good luck trying to get it. I called requesting help, but…read morethe rep couldn't supply a code and didn't know how to get it. Yet insisted it was available. I smell a scam and so should you.

I've never had a bad strawberry from Target…read more Employees are super friendly! Selection is awesome, it's just expensive (but we already knew that)

I visited this Target today for my regular shopping and stopped by the toy aisle to look for…read morecollectibles. An employee was stocking the shelves, which I understand is part of the job. As I was browsing, more customers also entered the toy aisle. A few moments later, another employee (male Asian) approached me and asked if I could wait until they finished stocking before looking at the toys. He told me it was "disrespectful" to browse while they were working, and his tone came across as rude and confrontational. I explained that I wasn't the only customer browsing in the aisle, as several other shoppers were there as well. I was surprised because I was simply shopping during normal business hours. I don't understand how browsing merchandise in an open store could be considered disrespectful while employees are stocking shelves. I've never had this experience at any other Target location. At other Target stores, employees are usually friendly and even ask if I need help while continuing to stock the shelves. If it's important for employees to stock shelves without customers nearby, it would make more sense to do so during closing hours or at less busy times. I hope management reviews this incident and reminds employees to treat customers with courtesy and professionalism. Shopping during regular business hours should never make customers feel unwelcome.

Such great finds!!! I love shopping here - make sure. You have time to spare…read more Highly recommend!

I wouldn't consider this place a thrift store definitely more like a consignment store... you will…read morefind brands such as Zara, Anthropologie, Reformation etc.... it can get a bit pricey but you can find some cool things there and they do some blue/green stamps on some tags for extra discounts. I bought a shirt there. I had some tops I was hoping to get rid of it so I thought I would tried selling there. I should have known better, I've tried selling clothes at Plato's Closet, Flashback, Buffalo Exchange etc...and they never take my stuff. I don't know why and I promise I always made sure they were clean and in good condition. They were brands they listed they accepted on the site: Anthropologie and American Eagle...they didn't take any. The girls were super nice and I appreciated it. But it just always seemed wild to me that they take on brands such as Wild & Fable and A New Day...and my stuff isn't that super outdated again I don't know their process for selecting clothes because they do have curated pieces. In summary, for shopping it could be fun and you can find some stuff but not on a thrift price. However as for selling, unfortunately at this point now I've just never had a good experience selling clothes at these kind of places. If you want to sell clothes you will have better luck on Poshmark where I've sold clothes more easily. So this place can be fun for buying but for selling you might leave feeling frustrated and confused which is why I rated this place at 3 stars.

If I could give 0 stars, I would. The owner (or store manager -- I'm not sure which) was extremely…read moredisrespectful. I went in to make a return on day 8, not realizing their policy only allows returns up to day 7. I completely understand that part and was fine with doing an exchange instead. However, when I asked for help finding my size, she stood there and said, "You can choose any shirt, any size, for exchange." I asked her twice to confirm, and she repeated the same thing. When I picked the next size up, she suddenly said I owed about $4 more because of a "price difference." That's not what she had said earlier. To make matters worse, she began muttering things under her breath in another language. I recorded it and translated it afterward -- and what she said was completely inappropriate and racist. It's unacceptable for any business owner to treat customers like that. I will never shop here again, and I hope others think twice before supporting a store that allows this kind of behavior.
