    One of the best places for self-service yogurt! I've been coming here for years and always enjoy the experience. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great selection, fresh toppings, and a fun atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I also love the riddles they put up -- such a nice touch that makes the place even more unique and enjoyable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Always a great stop when craving frozen yogurt!

    The yogurt itself was genuinely good--fresh, creamy, and with a nice selection of flavors and toppings. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Unfortunately, the atmosphere was overshadowed by what felt like overt political messaging, which made the experience less enjoyable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I come to a frozen yogurt shop to relax, not to feel like I'm walking into a political statement.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Everyone is entitled to their views, but I'd prefer businesses keep the focus on great food and welcoming all customers. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great yogurt, but the overall vibe wasn't for me.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    1. There were a lot of flavors and topping options! 2. The spot has fun casual vibes! 3. There were only indoor seatings available! 4. The staff were friendly and timely with our order! 5. Parking lot is medium size and it can get busy depending on time and day! Note: There are set prices by bowl, but they will charge you double if your order does not fit with the lid on!

    lol they got a bigger trump flag best store ever, 10/10 That aside, the yogurt is actually really good, better than the Menchies in Bressi Ranch in my opinion. Location is way more lowkey too, so less children on e-bikes zipping around during dessert time. Gonna be our new go-to, all that considered

    The yogurt options were great. They have cake batter which is my favorite. They charge by the cup size you use, not weight which is a bonus for people like me who like the heavy toppings like brownies and cheesecake. The only issue here was the place is pretty run down looking and could use a refresh. If you're grabbing Togo you wouldn't mind I suppose, but my family sat there to eat. Slight smell and the tables were all marked up making them look dirty. Mirrors were wiped down but not well so you could see streaks. Overall, I little love given to the decor of the place would make this a 5 star experience.

    Tables were sticky and dirty. Yogurt was pretty tasty. Toppings were very very minimal but clean. FYI there was a heavy political theme inside. While I respect everyone's right to express their views, it caught me off guard in a dessert shop. Personally, I prefer a more neutral environment where I can just enjoy a treat without thinking about politics. Just something to keep in mind if that matters to you.

    We stopped by Yogurt Shack with friends and, as always, had the BEST yogurt--creamy, delicious, and totally crave-worthy! But what made the visit extra sweet was Kenzie! She brought such fun, upbeat energy and made everyone feel welcome. We just had to give a shoutout to this fabulous place and their superstar Kenzie. If you haven't been yet, go treat yourself--you'll leave smiling!

    Have been wanting to try this place for quite some time. It's cute and has a lot more seating…read moreoutside in a contained patio. They have delicious delicacies up front that we did not get a chance to try. We arrived for brunch and it was pretty busy. Service was pretty good. Seemed like our table was neglected at times. Huge menu. Lots to choose from. Ended up trying the chicken and waffles, which was standard compared to other restaurant's. The only concern we had was that one of our family members waited quite a while for his meal, only to be told much later that they had run out of the crab. It seemed like there may have been some miscommunication between the kitchen and the waitstaff, which unfortunately led to a longer wait than necessary. While these things can happen during a busy brunch service, earlier communication would have made for a much better experience.

    Strawberry Shack a famous shop located at Carlsbad Village…read more It is a dessert shop specialized in strawberry. They have strawberry dipped chocolate, fresh strawberries, chocolate strawberry caramel pecan, strawberry lemonade, chocolate brownies with strawberry cream, chocolate strawberry chocolate bar, strawberry dole soft serve, strawberry red velvet chocolate chip cookie, strawberry dipped rice crispy, strawberry hot fudge brownie sundae, strawberry Tiramisu, strawberry cheesecake, strawberry Shack shake and more. The menu goes on and on. The staff were so sweet and friendly. We were indecisive because there were many delicious strawberrylicious options. We got strawberry cannoli and strawberry dole soft serve. The strawberry soft serve was refreshing, creamy, fruity and had perfect sweetness. The strawberry cannoli had crunchy exterior and decadent creamy strawberry filling topped with fresh strawberries and light whipped cream. It's a grab and go shop,but they have two little table outside in case you want to stand at one of them until you finish your dessert. I love the Beatles paintings holding strawberry in their hands, It's funny. Strawberry Shack is a sweet place to enjoy sweet desserts. It's a must try if you are strawberry lovers.

But whoever was the cashier and other worker today, please remember your customer service. We said "hi how are you" and got nothing.... Oookay. Then we said "one without chocolate please" "okay". Paid said "thank you" and just directly back to her face in her phone without a simple smile or acknowledgment. I get it. It's hot. It's a Sunday. Maybe slower than usual. But maybe just look like you're happy to be there. Other than that. What we got was wonderful. Just got the strawberry shakes 10/10. But usually dealing with people like that make me not want to come back sometimes.

There are both indoor and outdoor seating. We enjoyed the relaxing and delightful atmosphere of the indoor seating. They have a nice selection of purses, jewelries and Stanley Tucci cookbooks.

The menu includes ; creamy gelati, dairy free sorbetti, gelato specialties, love shakes, coffe, cannoli, ice cream cakes, and desserts. There are many flavors to choose from. Everything looked tempting and delicious. Finally, we decided to get flight of four different flavors of gelato. We chose Carlsbad strawberry, Cookies and cream, Bacio, Tahitian vanilla bean. Their gelato was rich, creamy and silky. The amount was generous. The owner and the staff were very welcoming and genuinely warm. The service was fast. I really like Gelato Love.
