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.

Pretty decent mall on the border of O'side and Carlsbad. It's got a decent selection of stores but…read moreI wouldn't call it "high end" - but, for me, that's a good thing. Doesn't seem like it gets crowded very often but, then again, malls ain't what they used to be (I've been here a few times now). This mall has some cool stores and, interestingly, a section at the back end of the mall for collectibles and such...almost like a mini Frank and Sons (IYKYK). For the stores I've visited, my interactions were largely positive - friendly, helpful staff. Some stores are more expensive than others but it depends on what you're looking for and how much you're willing to spend. Remember - it's a mall. Would definitely return to check out some movies, for sure the comic store and collectible section at the back end of the mall on second floor.

My family and I were staying at Legoland, and one evening, we decided to eat at Luna Grill. We couldn't find the entrance to the restaurant, but the directions kept providing the location at The Shoppes at Carlsbad. We ended up parking, and exploring some of the stores inside, until we found out the restaurant was located on the opposite side of the main entrance and you go inside the restaurant outside of the mall. While exploring inside the mall though, it did have a lot of stores and entertainment available. It was nice that it was indoors and there looked to be a lot of other dining options available! There was plenty of parking spots too! If you're visiting Legoland theme park, and staying a few days, I'd recommend stopping by this mall. It was nice to take a break from the theme park and you can get a chance to go shopping!

One star. Walk into…read morethe Nike Factory Store expecting outlet deals, not a scavenger hunt with fine print. 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.

I really enjoy shopping at Costco Business Center in San Marcos. What makes this location stand out…read moreis what it doesn't have. There's no food court, no clothing section, and no gas station, which means the store is much easier to navigate and far less crowded than a traditional Costco. It's ideal forbulk purchasing, with early hours and a focus on restaurant, office, and commercial supplies. My favorite part? No sample stations. That means no groups of people blocking aisles while waiting for a tiny morsel of food. I can get in, find what I need, and check out without fighting crowds or maneuvering around carts parked in the middle of the aisle. So annoying! The store has a great selection of bulk food, beverages, and business supplies, and the quieter atmosphere makes shopping much more enjoyable. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that the selection is more limited than a regular Costco warehouse. Still, if you're looking for a faster, less stressful Costco experience, this is an option. The service has been consistent. The value, well; shop around to check pricing. Costco isn't always the cheapest.

It's a good shopping mall but not the best. It has some…read moregood stores in and it's growing and getting modernized! When we moved here this mall had been just started and had many areas closed. Now, two years later more and more stores moved in and it developed a nice atmosphere. I like that they are offering a food court, Macy's and JcPenny. A gym is just around the corner and plenty of parking on both sides. The movie theater etc is a nice touch in that area. This mall has great potential, this Christmas 2019 they offered a corner with free characters to meet, hot coco and some local snacks for free. In addition, they have a very pretty Santa on the other side of the mall.

I, for the life of me, cannot figure out how this company got on the "top of the line" list, nationally(that's according to Clark Howard News). I just went again Monday to one closer to my house......no cart! Waited 10 minutes. And watched a lady with 5 flat, easy to carry, light-weight items run back and forth around the check-out location. You see what kind of person I become when I'm TRYING to shop at a CVS store. Well, not to worry North County residents. This is the store to head to.....please leave room for me. I still have a list. BTW to CVS: carts are being taken by the homeless, I get it. Several places have come up with a way to "nip that in the bud". Please think of something too!!!

This is the best furniture shop in all of San Diego! I made an appointment online to look at a…read moresleeper sofa I was interested in. When I went in, Ray was very friendly and spoke professionally. Yet, he was very casual- which made me feel comfortable! The lounge area of the place looked furnished with their own supply. This gave a good idea of the quality of their furniture. I went in wanting one couch, got it ordered, left, and then changed my mind 2 hours later. I came back in that same day and Ray thoroughly accommodated me! It was the perfect service ! I got my couch delivered the very next morning and it has been effect ever since (2 months now)! The delivery was free and assembly fee is only 25$. I didn't pay for assembly as I'd like to think I'm a capable girl. Assembly was very easy ! The guys dropped it off in the middle of the room and I got to assembling. It took roughly 30-45 mins to complete all on my own! Folding down the box it came in was the hardest part..! Next time though, I'll pay for assembly as it's probably worth it for 2 big men to do it quicker for cheap :) I absolutely love the couch! It's the perfect comfort level and the color matches our living room. There were a few stray strings, but nothing a pair of scissors can't fix! I'm so happy with my purchase and that I want to buy the rest of our furniture from here!

Bought 4 months ago in March and i know I've seen one in store recently but when I finally had someone suggest I return it-I was told the store policy changed to 4 months and I was over and it was not returnable! I swear I never do this and got turned away at Nordstroms after making special trip there. Not even store credit. Told to sell on some app I never heard. I'm 67 and don't really want to add more frustration to this. Disappointed.

I like how this location is close to me, but that's about it. The staff are scarce so if you are…read moreneeding help or assistance good luck. I was trying to find an item I had seen at the SM location and practically searched the whole store and couldn't find it. I also couldn't find any staff that could help. I finally made my way to the fitting room and asked the lady there for assistance, and she was of no help at all. So, besides lack of help, the selection they offer here is not as great as the other locations either. Overall, if you're looking for basic items, and know where they are located and won't need any help, this is decent otherwise, go to the other locations

It's a warehouse atmosphere with large furniture items that are not sellable at full price. Items are sold AS IS and there are multiples sales here and there. It's worth checking out and I love coming here when I am in the area. Customer service has been great in my opinion. If you're looking for a particularly pricey item is a good place to shop. The smaller kitchen items though aren't as much at a discount and frankly many of the smaller items are at regular price which is disappointing. Great for larger pricey pieces, not worth it for other kitchenware and home decor.
