This is always the perfect breakfast spot in Carlsbad. Whether you're craving something indulgent like their variety of pancakes and benny's or you're wanting something on the lighter side, like an egg white omelette or açaí bowl, there are a plethora of delicious options! The service is always friendly and prompt and the setting is coastal casual so I always feel comfortable coming in from a walk on the beach. The beautiful patio is a great location for a birthday brunch as well. My 4 year old became best friends with our server Brittany. We will be back multiple times! read more

I've been coming here since it opened and it never disappoints! The wait staff is friendly and they really hustle here. I've had many things on the menu here and have enjoyed them all! The Mediterranean Egg White Omelette is one of my favorites. It has olives and feta cheese with quinoa, mushrooms, and pine nuts stuffed inside. Delicious! It's open air seating and dogs are allowed. They even have a dog menu. My dog loves it here too! Definitely one of the best breakfast restaurants in Carlsbad! Worth the wait to be seated. read more

One of my favorite locations for brunch or just grabbing coffee to go while in the village. Their almond joy coffee brings me back every time. Tastes like heaven! Love the balance of not too sweet as in it's sweet enough but doesn't overpower the actual flavor of coffee. It does not matter what food you order off their menu, it will be delicious! I've ordered something different each time and always love it. Sometimes I've been a bit skeptical but I've fully learned to trust in their menu. They know what they are doing. I recently had their chicken, pistachio pesto, & burrata sandwich and it was a fantastic combo of flavor. Every bite was delicious and blended perfectly. I also love their salmon eggs benedict, maple fried chicken breakfast sandwich, cornmeal pancakes, mango pancakes, and Tahitian vanilla French toast. As I said earlier you cannot go wrong with any option on their menu. Just a tip, but I do suggest joining the waitlist early because this place gets packed quickly! read more

Shore House Kitchen holds a truly special place in my heart because it is one of my absolute favorite brunch spots in all of North County. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu ... I have never, not once, had a bad meal here. The short rib Cardiff Crack Benedict is probably my personal favorite thing on the menu (it is unreal), but please also order the giant dirty cinnamon roll. Get one to share with your whole table. You will not regret it. The avocado toast, the burritos, the Benedicts.. it's all just so good. They have an extensive drink menu with unique lattes, and the patio is dog-friendly, which I love. The only little challenge is that it's first-come, first-served, so it can get busy, but it is absolutely worth the wait. Just go. Go right now if you can. read more

Visited Shorehouse Kitchen for brunch with another couple and had a great overall experience. We joined the waitlist ahead of time, and the hostess was kind enough to seat our friends who arrived earlier so we could all sit together. The cappuccino was solid (better than your typical breakfast spot), and the orange juice was especially fresh and delicious. I ordered the California omelet--really tasty and a reasonable portion. Others had the pistachio multigrain benedict and classic benedict, all well enjoyed. Service was a standout. Dalton was super attentive and thoughtful--quick to adjust the heater when we mentioned it was warm and great about checking in and refilling coffee. It's a busy, lively spot with classic breakfast options and a few twists. Not overly trendy, but done well. I'd definitely come back if I'm in the area. 4 stars read more

With our little dog in tow, we scored a table at this busy restaurant. We've dined here many times and it's been very good in the past. On this visit we ordered: * Classic Eggs Benedict: $18.75 * Shorehouse Cheese Burger: $17.50 Our waiter was pleasant and brought out a bowl of water for our dog. And considering it was busy, our food arrived quickly. The Eggs Benedict was tasty, the eggs were perfectly poached. The ham was very salty and smoky. The side of potatoes were way too cool. The burger was ordered medium rare, but arrived medium. The roll was too large for the burger. I ate this as an open face sandwich. The side of fries were crispy, but cool. I wouldn't order a burger here again. I do appreciate how dog friendly this place is, they even have a little doggie menu. That said, the noise volume is high, with loud background music and the busy patrons chatting, and potatoes should be warm and fries hot. Overall, it was okay, not great. read more

Casual open air restaurant (I did see heaters, but we were there on a sunny day). Service was immediate and friendly, with Nikko as our server. The Bloody Mary I ordered was spot-on. We are not "big eaters " so we split the classic Eggs Benedict with hash browns. Nikko came out w/ our food perfectly split. Eggs were done just right, the Hollandise was lovely, and plenty of protein via slices of Canadian Bacon. As an additional nice touch, Nikko gave my husband another Arnold Palmer in a to-go cup. 5/5 for service and food! read more

Shorehouse is located right in downtown Carlsbad, and it definitely stays busy. I really appreciated that it's family-friendly, and the presentation of the food was great. Service was friendly and accommodating, and even the patrons around us were pleasant. As for the food, it was just okay for me. I ordered their Benedict, which looked beautiful, but the bread was mushy and the flavors didn't come together well. It was disappointing since it's supposed to be their signature dish. My sister ordered the chilaquiles, and that dish was actually really tasty. My son loved their hash browns and the fruits. read more

Shorehouse Kitchen - Eggs Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Been to Shorehouse a few times. Today for breakfast I had eggs Benedict w veggies. It was so delicious added benefit it was much healthier version of classic. On whole grain toast with scrumptious pistachio pesto with delicious grilled veggies. Hollandaise sauce was equally delicious not heavy perfect sauce. I highly recommend. Their coffees are so good! Had a delicious vanilla latte. Highly recommend this place. Tip: most of the tables are outside but they do have heaters. Weekends can have wait lists. read more

Good quick service. The food was really good; it has your basics but with something new added like sun dried tomato for my omelette.

I always enjoy dining at Shorehouse. We got lucky one Saturday and didn't have to wait. Normally, we plan ahead and join their waitlist, since they don't allow reservations. The atmosphere is comforting and cozy, making for a relaxing dining experience. My Fruit Granola Yogurt was delicious, and my husband loved his Angus Short Rib & Hash Brown Potato Cakes. I paired mine with fresh orange juice and Sweet Orange Spice Black Tea. They offer loose-leaf teas, which is a nice touch. My husband ordered a tasty black coffee. They even have a dog menu. We've ordered from it in the past, and our fur baby enjoyed the Brunch Bark Bowl. There is a dedicated parking lot for visitors, which is a big plus since most businesses in Carlsbad Village only offer street parking or public lots scattered throughout the area. Come visit them. read more

So, I have already written a review for Shorehouse, but just could not resist another word. Food is wonderful. Please read the paragraph on the menu which explains the great care they take in offering the freshest ingredients. And you can taste that very freshness. Coffee is carefully selected. Yum! I do want the spotlight one the servers, Daisy. I am a local, and she has been our server many times. Without fail, she is prompt , polite and professional. At this point, she even remembers some of my specific preferences . . Always a nice touch. You can't miss at Shorehouse. read more

this is a sad and jarring tale of two visits. the wife and kid ate here the day before I joined them for a late brunch and raved about the place. totally different experience the very next day. the ROASTED TOMATO and GOAT CHEESE FLATBREAD with sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, pine nuts, fresh basil, mozzarella and parmesan cheese was pretty good. uneven ingredient distribution and most of my slice was crust but when you dine out with a nineteen-year-old boy, the order of the day is the quick and the hungry. had a bite of the wife unit's THAI CHICKEN SALAD (Napa cabbage, romaine, edamame, carrots, celery, bell pepper, peanuts, and cilantro with a sesame-peanut dressing). a sad rendition of one of my favorite salads. flat and flavorless with a definitely not fresh flavor and visual profile. the boy, who raved about the cabernet-braised ANGUS SHORT RIB with hash brown potato cakes and two eggs over easy he'd eaten the day before, waded sullenly through his STEAK FRITES and declared he'd NEVER order that again ... there is absolutely nothing nice to say about my LJ BURGER (Angus ground beef, goat cheese, honey-cured bacon, fig spread, caramelized onions, and arugula with whole-grain dijon) except that it sounded great on paper but was inedible on my plate. ordered medium rare, my burger arrived WAY past done. the meat was dry, dense, tough, and chewy -- easily the worst burger I've ever had. fortunately, SHOREHOUSE KITCHEN has a dog friendly patio and mine ate most of my brunch. truly a nasty experience. the second star's a nod to the fam's eats the day before. read more

My wife and I used to love this place, but our last couple of visits have been disappointing. The quality of the food has declined recently. On our most recent visit, I got the black forest ham omelet with hash browns and my wife ordered the egg white and tofu frittata with breakfast potatoes and a fruit cup. The omelet and the frittata were pretty bland and both the hash browns and breakfast potatoes were not crispy and did not taste fresh. The fruit cup was pretty much inedible. The fruit was not fresh, it looked like the fruit had been sitting for a few days and had a funny smell coming from it. We told our server about the fruit cup and he removed it from the bill without us having to ask. Our server was great and was very understanding about the fruit cup. We could tell from his expression that he agreed that a fruit cup of that quality should not have been served. We've usually had no issues here, but the last couple of visits have made us less excited to come back. read more

Delicious! This was my second time here . I had ordered the maple chicken lettuce wrapped with egg whites with a side of house salad. Others in the party ordered the steak/eggs and Monterey omelet with vanilla bean yogurt. We have enjoyed our food. Service was excellent and Ambiance was like an outdoor patio setting. Benches were a little high for my guests. I also ordered a Kyoto ice coffee. It was ok. I truly enjoyed the food and will come again. read more

Good place to come if you have lots of time. Order the mango pancakes with granola and guava syrup - very delicious. The pancakes are fluffy, light with lots of mango - the crunch and sweetness from the granola and guava are a perfect combination. We also ordered the short ribs, which were disappointing- a little dry and a small portion on top of a generous serving of hash browns. Nice place on a sunny day - cute outdoor patio that is dog friendly. Thankfully the patio was lovely as we had to wait a lengthy time to both order and receive our food. read more

...and yet again, another wonderful dining experience here at Shorehouse Kitchen! Came here for lunch after playing 2 hours of pickleball, so needless to say we came hungry! LOL. As always it was a gorgeous day in Carlsbad, so we opted to sit outside. Still the same awesome service from the moment we were greeted and seated (always plus points for beautiful friendly smiles!). Even though we came at noon, we were still able to order from the breakfast menu! We all knew what we wanted and ordered the Angus Short Rib & Hashbrown Potato Cakes, and the Maple Fried Chicken Breakfast Sandwich, which were all spot on! We enjoyed our meal wholeheartedly and our bellies were happy and full! LOL. CHEERS and happy eating till next time... read more

First time trying Shorehouse kitchen and everything was amazing - ambiance, food, and service. I think I heard our server say her name's Ashley (I hope I heard correctly if there's an Ashley there), she was spectacular. Kudos to her for taking care of our group of 10 girls on a busy Saturday morning, along with the other tables around us. I shared some dishes with friends we tried the: - Angus short rib potato pancake dish and asked for a side of hollandaise sauce - Bacon Parmesan Risotto Benedict - side of breakfast potatoes - the mango & granola pancakes with guava syrup Everything was absolutely chefs kiss, a 10/10 - taste, presentation, quality. Highly recommend and would come back again. read more

Shorehouse Kitchen is a little overrated to me. It's a popular brunch spot both in Carlsbad and La Jolla with airy seating, but just okay food. We visited the Carlsbad location for Mothers Day, so the wait was understandably very long. Even getting onto the waitlist, given the size of our party, it took about an hour and a half. You do need to be within about a 10 mile radius to put yourself on the waitlist, so it doesn't work if you're trying to drive up from San Diego. They have seating in an "indoor" covered patio area, a back patio with umbrellas and a few seats in the front street. We were seated on the back patio area. The plus here is that they are dog friendly so we were able to bring our pup with us! They have an extensive brunch menu. I got the chilaquiles, which are my go to on a brunch menu, but they were just okay. They were really saucy and extremely spicy. The sauce was a little overpowering and didn't provide a great balance with the chips and other toppings. Overall, the sauce was almost too much that it was slightly inedible. I took it home and was able to add some more eggs and it made it better. I think people come here for the vibe. The food just isn't it for me, but I can appreciate that it's a nice spot to enjoy a meal and solid for group outings. Parking was also available in the lot next door, which was convenient, especially for this area. read more

Had an extremely different experience this time!! Service was absolutely amazing! Nikko took such good care of us and made us feel so welcomed even walking in with our 4 little ones (our oldest being 5 years old) I know tables with kids can be a bit much for servers but not for Nikko, he was great! We ordered their maple fried chicken sandwich, salted caramel waffle, caramelized Tahitian vanilla bean French toast, and the kiddos had a traditional egg, bacon and biscuit breakfast. Everything was so delicious even their coffees were really good! Will definitely be back the next time we are in the area! read more

Great food, everything was very yummy. Eggs benedict traditional with Gluten Free English Muffin and the Monterey Omelet. There were a few kitchen mishaps but they were quickly remedied. I look forward to eating here again. read more

Yelp waitlist for the win! I love that Shorehouse has a virtual waitlist. I think a ton of people opt to breakfast here because of it. So convenient & efficient! Vibes are great. Indoor-outdoor sea breeziness + great menu. I usually go with one of their fun Benny options, add extra hollandaise though. I notice they're light on it typically. Don't sleep on their drinks either! It's a full on fun cafe menu in addition to elaborate food options. read more

Great brunch option in Carlsbad with its own parking lot and plenty of street parking. They have a small coffee shop location at the front as well for quick grab and go. Service was friendly and quick. They have a large outdoor seating patio with also heaters when it's cold. Also has an indoor area as well. Food was solid with their Smoked salmon bagel. I liked my short rib hash, but needed a little something to cut its heaviness. Their California omelette was a winner 5/5 would recommend. read more

We decided to order family style and so we ordered three dishes. We ordered the Roasted Pistachio and Veggie Eggs Benedict, the Angus Short Rib and Hash Brown Potato Cakes, and the Mango Pancakes with House Made Granola and Guava Syrup and we split each dish in half. The food overall as very good, especially the Mango Pancakes with House Made Granola and Guava Syrup. The Angus Short Rib in the Angus Short Rib and Hash Brown Potato Cakes was cooked very well and was super tasty. I loved the hollandaise on the Roasted Pistachio and Veggie Eggs Benedict, but the veggies were a little bitter because they were under seasoned (including the side potatoes). I also was not a big fan of the bread, but the pistachio pesto was amazing. We also shared a Macadamia Roasted Kyoto, and were underwhelmed by that as well. It tasted like pure cold brew and the sugar did not improve the taste. We loved the service! The waitress was on top of it even though it was a busy Saturday and our waters were never empty and food was to our table in a reasonable time. The ambiance was also great. There were others around and it caught the beach vibe of the town, and there were dogs outside on the patio. I would definitely add this place to your list, just make sure to join the waitlist when you leave your house/apartment/hotel and check in when you arrive. read more

"From the great Atlantic ocean To the wide Pacific shore To the queen of flowing mountains For the hills and by the shore" (Willie Nelson) Our final California meal before returning home was at the Shorehouse Kitchen in Carlsbad. It was a very popular destination and there was a wait list for Saturday lunch. Status texts from Shorehouse were sent via a Yelp.to text which was something I hadn't seen before. Waiting to be seated, I saw something else I hadn't seen before -namely a "Doggie Menu" ranging from free water up to $8.95 for Fido's Finest - a mish mosh of ground beef, turkey and bacon! The menu for human beings is awesome -eggs, omelets, benedicts, carnitas, risotto cakes, pancakes, waffles, small Plates, salads, sandwiches, soups, flatbreads, etc. Three of us had $4.25 teas to drink, and one of us had a $6 fresh squeezed OJ for $6. My iced White Ginger Pear Tea was terrific. We went all over the menu for our food -Two eggs and toast ($7.95), Two eggs toast and bacon ($12.90), a Monterey Omelet ($18.95) and for me a Poblano White Chicken Chili ($9) and a Side Caesar ($7). My chili was very good. It was a generous portion of cannellini beans, roasted white corn, red bell peppers, red potatoes, white cheddar & cream with a big hunk of fantastic honey cornbread. The salad was Romaine, shaved parmesan, fried capers, garlic butter croutons, served with a house-made Caesar dressing. Our server, Daisy, was professional and helpful. All in all, we enjoyed our lunch at Shorehouse. The food, service, and menu variety were all very good. read more

So, so good. We stopped in due to my husband checking the yelp page and spotting a maple fried chicken sandwich he had to try. We were greeted immediately and sat at a really nice table. The wait staff was constantly checking on us and really pleasant. Our table had a view onto the main drag of town and had a lovely indoor/outdoor feel. We opted to have a vanilla latte and the kyoto macadamia iced coffee. Both great and if you don't finish they have a to go cup option. For mains, we had the mentioned sandwich. I went with the white chicken chili and the Caesar half salad. My husband loved the sandwich and he felt it was perfectly filling. The chili is more like an east coast chowder, slightly thin, but so damn good. It was so fresh and had nice chunks of chicken. We will add this to our regular list of stops whenever we're in town. read more

This place has become one of me & my friends' fave places for breakfast in the past couple of years. They have been consistently good. Went today at 10:15ish and knew that it was pretty risky because it's full-blown tourist season so we expected a wait. But surprisingly, we were able to get seated right away and had a choice of sitting inside or on the patio. We opted to dine al fresco. Our server was friendly, helpful & efficient. Food came out in a timely manner. We ordered the Beach Bowl and Roasted Veggie & Pistachio Benedict and had the Kyoto macadamia nut coffee. Each dish was absolutely delicious! They were perfectly crafted and flavors distinct & balanced. You definitely get what you pay for here. We love this place. It's casual and has a chill vibe. It's located in the heart of Carlsbad Village, has its own private parking lot, there's indoor & outdoor dining (some people bring their dogs), they provide great customer service and have great menu items including specialty coffees and drinks. We highly recommend! You won't be disappointed. read more

Their vibe is cozy and chill and great for catching up with friends or grabbing a casual meal. The food hits. Their most popular dishes clearly stand out.

Very yummy and great system for reserving a table, which was able to accomodate us on a busy Mother's Day.

Was super excited to eat here since it's always busy at the festival but not a redo. they served the food like warm , the freshly squeezed oj tasted watered down , the buttermilk pancake was flat and tasted fried , not fluffy and light, turkey sausage tasted cheap and no flavor super grainy and disappointing. Food portion poor - maple syrup super watery and thin - the good things were the sourdough bread toast and cute individual jelly jars. Oj was not delivered so since it came late it was comped. Not much variety no real meat options read more
