The Tremont Collective is a block in Oceanside the features a "collective" of shops and…read morerestaurants. There's only street parking available. When I arrived, it wasn't very apparent that it was the Tremont Collective. There were plenty of open-concept shops, but it wasn't clear how they were all connected. There was a cafe that had really cute decor, a shop that sells clothes, a restaurant that sells poke/tacos. The prices weren't terrible but also wasn't the most affordable. Overall, I think this place has a lot of potential and is still developing. I personally wouldn't go out of my way to visit, but it's worth taking a look.

My hubby LOVED their Batch Brew coffee and he is EXTREMELY picky. We tried Shoots for lunch which was tasty and enjoyed strolling through the other shops. This collective was more my style than the Freeman Collective bc I want somewhere I can hang out in, but both offer some great food.

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.

4 stars The Shoppes…read moreat Carlsbad is a solid indoor mall for North County. Good mix of stores like Macy's, H&M, Vans, and Sephora, plus a nice variety of food at the courtyard. The mini Bazaar on weekends is a cool touch with local vendors and collectibles. Parking is easy and it never feels too packed compared to UTC or Fashion Valley. Movie theater and Dave & Buster's make it good for more than just shopping. Only downside is a few empty storefronts and the food court could use an upgrade. Overall it's clean, family-friendly, and convenient if you're in Carlsbad. Worth a trip if you want to avoid the big mall crowds.

It's been a few years since I've been to The Shoppes at Carlsbad. There's been a lot of changes,…read moreboth good and bad that I've noticed. First the good: amazing renovations have improved the shopping experience. New flooring; sitting areas with power outlets and comfortable chairs; very comfortable outdoor living space with modern conveniences; a PAW-sitive environment for a 4 legged friends; a very clean and well maintained modern shopping area. The restaurants are all centrally located. Lots of parking areas with easy access. The bad: a sad commentary on the shopping climate/culture with an abundance of closed and empty restaurants and stores. The online shopping experience has resulted in brick and mortar businesses to experience more and more contraction of their customer base since the pandemic of COVID-19. At the time of my visit, there were a few number of shoppers in the mall. It saddens me to see the effects of the online shopping economy. I will try to support more businesses in physical stores and retail shops. It's difficult when you compete with the low price points and convenience of next day delivery from online retailers.

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!!!

The parking lot could used some repaving. I've heard rumors that this shopping center will be razed and new storefronts will be open. I like what is there currently.

Village Faire Shopping Center is located in the heart of Carlsbad. It is also close to the beach…read more It is a Victorian style architecture building. It is a two level shopping center with a nice central fountain. Elevator is available. They have numerous seating all around the shopping center. The center has a very relaxing atmosphere which makes it fun to walk or shop around. Parking is available, but you can park around in the street. It could be challenging sometimes. There are different types of shops and restaurants around. For example; you can find coffee shops, bobba shop, Gelato,ramen restaurant, sushi restaurant, Italian restaurant, clothing, jewelry, souvenirs, board game shop, art gallery, dentist office and more. I enjoyed shopping at many shops there and trying the coffee shop, gelato and sushi restaurant.

The open-air layout is beautifully landscaped, featuring fountains and plenty of seating areas to relax. I found unique clothing, jewelry, and gift stores, while food options range from casual eateries to sit-down restaurants, catering to a variety of tastes, including vegetarian choice, coffee shops and ice cream parlors for a quick treat. Parking can be a bit tricky during peak times, the ambiance and proximity to Carlsbad Village's other attractions make it worthwhile. Whether you're looking for a quick bite, a special gift, or just a stroll, Village Faire offers a delightful mix of coastal charm and convenience.
