Carlsbad Village is a great place to walk, shop, and dine. It's quaint, clean, and…read morepedestrian-friendly, with a train station and plenty of crosswalks. The dining scene offers a wide range of options, and some recent favorites include: * Blue Ocean Robata & Sushi Bar * French Corner Cafe * Poki Poki Boba & Brewski * Pop Pie Co. * Shoots Fish and Beer Just across the street is the beautiful Frazee Beach, one of several state beaches in Carlsbad. It features some wide sandy stretches and a great promenade that extends to Tamarack beach. What keeps the village from a 5-star rating? Parking, especially on warm weekends and Friday and Saturday nights. It's no easy feat finding parking anywhere close!

I loved being here and I bought some beautiful pieces of art!

I used to come to this street fair more often but now gravitate towards the Oside one on Thursday…read more Omgah, it's Thursday lol. But back to the review, please take time to go on the first week of May! There was around 500 vendors, I might be wrong but it was about six blocks full of fun things to be found. They do need some more things for men but then again, women are more in to shopping as a collective. If you love jewelry, small business finds, and food, it's definitely something I will be coming back for. I can't wait to go next year and replenish my earring collection. Recently started to collect them! We also had the most amazing freakin cake!!!! OMGAH!!!! I promise, if you like a cake that isn't dry, even a coffee cake that isn't dry, this company is worth ordering from! I am going to be ordering some yummy gifts for people in the future. It's called Dolce Monachelli's they do have a website and it's the best Bundt cake you will ever have. They have a cute sampler you can always get as a gift bc I will be gifting with these cakes! I think this is the best cake I've ever had! Sorry I don't have picks of the cake lol it was just too good and I forgot.

Everything about our evening at Blade exceeded expectations…read more I started with an Aperol Spritz, which was perfectly made, followed by the rucola salad with delicate Champagne lemon vinaigrette. It was fresh, light, and absolutely delicious. My entrée, the rigatoni with Italian sausage, mushrooms, and pink sauce, was outstanding. The sauce was rich and flavorful without being heavy, and every bite was fantastic. The service was equally impressive. The bartender was so kind and welcoming, and our waitstaff was attentive, friendly, and professional throughout the evening. A special thank you to Chef Angelo, who came out to visit with guests. It was such a thoughtful touch and showed how much he cares about both his food and his customers. Exceptional food, warm hospitality, and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. I can't wait to come back and highly recommend Blade to anyone looking for a memorable Italian meal!

The group dynamic is fantastic and you really get a nice diverse array of local flavors, history and plenty of time to savor. There was quite an impressive array of food so be sure to go hungry!!! I highly recommend this to locals and visitors as something to do solo, as a fun date (even a first date!), or as a group. I went alone and had a wonderful time! The group is an intimate size of around 8-12 or so and there is something for everyone. If you have a limited diet of being gluten free, vegan or a lot of food allergies this might not be for you, but if you like a wide array of specially prepared gourmet dishes... be sure to book a tour!!

Walked into a busy, hot and crowded room that smelt like absolute dough heaven. I've been trying my best to cut out gluten and cheese from my diet and saw online that they had vegan pizza! To my surprise they had a whole vegan menu...amazing. I also ordered one of their many non-alcoholic options- a Riesling wine, really hit the spot. I had a lovely server who took the time out of very busy wave (not to mention only 2 people on the floor) to describe the whole menu to me, he was very kind and attentive. The pizza shown in the picture is a vegan BBQ smoke show, with their authentic Italian flour dough- although not gluten free (I'm not a fan of cauliflower dough) i left not feeling 'sick' or bloated. I was beyond happy that the pizza wasn't lacking in flavor or looks, very well done. If i could have devoured my pizza in one sitting i would have, but i had to bring it home. The space was hot and muggy but sometimes that's where a lotttt of magic happens! First impression was a hit, will definitely be back to test it out again!
