Great service, loved the location. The restaurant had an open concept, but they have inside sitting as well. It was pretty packed which is always a good sign. The food was decent, very nice portion sizes. read more

My first time at the location! The set up is a little different but they make it work! The waitress was very nice and a little soft spoken (and it was a little noisy in there and busy!) I was surprised when she asked me if I wanted to"mock" turkey for my sandwich. I have never heard that before and asked her to repeat herself. Anyways my sandwich was great and so was the salad. I tried a green salad dressing for the first time and was hesitant, but it was tasty! read more

This was an unexpected find in Carlsbad. I was happy to find ample seating and generous portions, but best of all, they cooked my bacon exactly as I like it! Their over-easy eggs and fried potatoes made for a great combination, and the service was top-notch! I had to check the other Yelp reviews to see if this was a fluke, and it seems to be the rule, not the exception. Try this place out for a Sunday breakfast. There were plenty of families there, enjoying the casual atmosphere and delicious food. read more

Food was great. We got the Black egg burrito and the Potato scramble burrito and they both were good. The salsa was excellent and we liked the Black egg burro better. Service was great and attentive. read more

My husband and I have been coming to this restaurant for many years. We have appreciated the wonderful staff and good food. The prices, however, have gone up so high, and higher than comparable restaurants in the area. Every change is a price add on. The portions also have changed. They used to be very generous and are not so now. After so many years, and frequenting Carlsbads and Encinitas Swamis, I doubt I will be going back. Sad really. read more

Excellent service and food ! Out of towners went for Breakfast. Generous portions. Prices are very fair. Coffee was fresh and hot. Would definitely go back. read more

First, the patio.... huge and simply a great spot most of the year to lunch or breakfast. Covered with big umbrellas and right across from the beach in Carlsbad. Great location and mostly easy free parking. Service is always great for me. The servers I've had go overboard with any request. Food is healthy and a huge menu. I love the wraps and get the side of fruit which is again good sized. The chicken caesar wrap is two meals. I've had salads and the burger which I've also loved. Breakfast are also big here and look great. But, for me... it's service and that damn huge patio... it's why we go to this read more

Foods great, but service is a little scarce... we ordered ham & ham omelet They brought it out literally just as soon as we placed our order. It was delicious and enough food for us to split. But.....we never saw our waiter again until checkout. We waved down a waitress for some salt & pepper. Usually there is a line on weekends but the food is so worthy. They just opened indoors and need to work on organizing, boxes and stuff everywhere except the 2 tables they were serving on. Also need to find a different spot to take outside orders, people blocking our table the entire time we were eating. Mask are required, they' are working at trying to keep everyone safe & still serve their customer. Parking is behind the restaurant. We will give lunch a try next time hopefully a slower pace for the staff. read more

A beautiful new location located along PCH. There is plenty of outdoor seating and indoor seating too if you prefer. The menu is standard Swamis, and the food came out quick and hot. The coffee bar here is not self-service unfortunately, but the swamis is Encinitas and Oceanside nearby can offer this. The atmosphere is welcoming and staff are friendly. read more

Food was decent service sucked. We sit and order before a table of 6. But yet somehow the table of 6 get all Their food before us...got myself to go boxes after being ignored. I saw a lot of people order to go..:they had the right idea read more

I wanted to leave 3 stars for my last experience, but I'm leaving 4 because our experience before this one was good. Such a cool restaurant and location! But it didn't make up for everything.. our waiter just couldn't remember what we asked him, coming back with something we didn't ask for or without something we did ask for. We sat outside and I really do not recommend that. We were back to back/side by side with the people waiting in line, constantly bumping into our chairs.. any kind of separator would have helped. That, added to their rush to move the umbrellas and tables around (husband got his head swiped by one) to set them together on an uneven brick patio that wobbles hard enough to spill everyone's drinks, it wasn't a great time. My son ordered the pitaya bowl and it came out 15 min before the rest of our food did, he couldn't wait for everyone else since it would have melted. The rest of the plates also came out at different times, so it really sucked that some of us were eating and some waiting for food while my son was done and just watching Btw, if you've been to the other Swamis location/s, this is not the order up front, grab your food and find a place to sit kind like the others. The lobster benedict was great the first time, not sure why I couldn't find it on the menu this time. But I settled on another benedict this and it was good too! I won't avoid this restaurant on purpose, but I won't be recommending it either. Driving to another location next time. read more

Swami's Cafe - Perfect Eggs Benedict - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Check you bill! I purchased a $9.95 cheeseburger from swami's it was nothing special but I would expect that for $9.95. When I got the bill I was charged $11.99. I pointed this out to the very nice waitress and she Tried to correct it. But it was necessary to deal with a rather rude manager for her to correct it since it was incorrect in their computer. He gave me a discount on the bill of $1.30 this does not bring it down to the price on the menu at $9.95. I honestly wonder if they do this with other items on the menu? I feel they should charge you what the prices on the menu Shows it's going to cost? This is all of course before taxes. So caution check your bill! read more

Great place for a meaty breakfast. This is one of my go to spots for a casual brunch / breakfast in Carlsbad and every location throughout has proven to be consistent in terms of quality, menu, and service. I always get the El Paso benny and smother it in Chalula sauce. If bennies are your thing, this is the place for you. read more

OMG...you have to come try this place!! A friend of mine recommended that we come here while staying in Carlsbad and that is exactly what we did. We didn't have a reservation (they didn't take them), so we were a bit worried showing up for Sunday brunch with our dog and a party of 4 hoping to get a seat. Parking is somewhat tight given this place is on a busy road, so I would recommend you drop someone in your party off to put their name down and then go park. Upon arrival, we were pleasantly surprised that the line was not too long...maybe 5 groups ahead of us. Soon after (very soon as in 15 mins) we were seated! We got an awesome spot where our dog had lots of room :) From start to finish, our experience here was off the charts. Our waitress was so friendly and made our brunch 5/5. She worked with me on making a smoothie without any added sugar by subbing out the apple juice concentrate for a more fresh option. Additionally, she worked with me on my side salad that I could eat with my dietary restrictions. My mom went with a Mexican scramble, my brother got a chicken sandwich, and my dad got a breakfast burger. The breakfast burger was HUGE!! 2 eggs, a burger patty, bacon, all on a sourdough bread. Everything was outstanding and I cannot emphasize it enough. I will 10000% be back any time I am back in So Cal :) read more

With a refreshing ambiance of either indoors with an ocean view or outdoors with an ocean view, breeze, smell and great vibes.....this is an amazing place to eat. The service comes with a smile and the food.......I'll just say; try the French toast with strawberries. It's all good here. read more

Massive 5 stars!!!! Huge breakfast, decent prices and service is exceptional!!! ABC omlette is unreal! The bacon is thick cut and yummy. Get a side of bacon. Kids needed up riding extra chocolate chip pancakes because they were so delicious!!! Jose was our server and hit it out of the park! read more

I just finished up breakfast here. I got the Belgian waffle with strawberries & I chose to make it a meal. Overall, my experience was lackluster. The matcha I ordered was awful; it was mostly milk with clumps of matcha at the bottom. I paid $44 and some change for it, and I will say that it was just not worth what I paid at all. I've never left a food establishment as disappointed as I have today. I hoped for a better experience, but it just left me unsatisfied and still feeling hungry, but unable to eat more food elsewhere because of the fact I already ate unflavorful food at Swami's. My advice is to choose a different spot to eat at. This place is not good. read more

Very delicious food and great service. We had the Belgian waffle which was one of the best I have ever tasted, crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside topped with strawberries. I had the black bean burger topped with Swiss and avocado, it was delicious. The bun was nice and fluffy. All In all a great breakfast with my husband. Thank you! read more

The food was delicious!! Big thank you to Luis for such an amazing service!! Definitely will be coming back.

I take out from here all the time (shout out the smoothies and chicken caesar wraps) and the people are all so so nice and so helpful. When I was waiting for my ride to come back and scoop me up, they let me sit inside at an open table because it was cold and wet out :,) . I know there are plenty of Swamis locations but I'm loyal to this one because I appreciate the people. read more

Went here for Mother's Day brunch! It's not super fancy, but the food and location is almost impossible to beat. The bloody Mary's were strong and tasty!!! There were so many things I wanted to try, but I ended up getting a veggie sandwich, clam chowder, and French fries. I split my sandwich with my dad and had one of his fish tacos (when I go back, I'd definitely order that). The bill was super modest. There were 7 of us and it was under $200 all getting drinks and things. My husband got a chipotle type eggs Benedict that he couldn't stop talking about. The food here is the real deal. Excited to go back to Carlsbad and eat here again! read more

Cute little spot! Busy, but not a super long wait time. Staff was very friendly which is always a plus. I had the multi grain pancakes with fresh strawberries and made it a meal with eggs and bacon. The pancakes were pretty fluffy for being multi grain and very filling. You definitely would be full with just the the pancakes, but I like savory with my sweet so I squeezed room for the bacon and eggs. read more

Very good brunch. My daughter's Açaí bowl was great (she asked me to mention that), and chipotle burger was very good too. Our server was Jose, he was extremely friendly and served us with a smile on his face, his service was very very good. read more

Our first time at this location and I want to start off by saying that the experience was made complete by our server, Celine. She was an absolute ray of sunshine! She was professional, personable, knowledgeable, and attentive. Set up at this location is unique. You can sit indoors, on the patio, or there are a few tables set-up along the sidewalk which is so nice when you want to enjoy the sun. I ordered a basic caesar salad and it came complete with seasoned crispy buttered toast, cucumber slices- everything was fresh! My husband ordered a burger and it came out as requested. The fries were also a delight (my favorite) and some ranch on the side- I was a happy lady! We also really loved the 80's music vibe between some alternative and classic rock. I reckon the beach is just only a couple of blocks from here. Likely an easy walk. Will definitely return! read more

GREAT Service, good food, and awesome spot to eat breakfast or lunch. They always treat you with the best service!!! Never feel like you are unattended. The food has good ingredients and the portions are good as well. Definitely a go to spot. This one in Carlsbad is way better than the Vista location. read more

Great gluten free pancakes! We love this place, the coffees and service. Perfect for families

I love swamis. Their chilaquiles were great. Their portions were pretty big and enough for 2 people. I love their selection of coffee

Almost completely empty restaurant during the Carlsbad Village Square and we are sat down The server told us someone was to take our order. they looked at us while watching their phones and after 10 minutes we decided to leave. Not the hostess and a server watched us get up to leave, and said nothing. I'll stick to the original location. read more

This place is taking extra precaution by following the statewide mandated covid 19 reopening for restaurants. there is ample seating with social distancing 6ft apart of course.

Service is friendly and all around great. My food tasted like dishwater. I wanted to be polite and kind of deal with it but I couldn't continue to eat. They were super busy and I was in a rush to leave. I paid and left. Later, I very much regret eating it as the food did not settle well. This is the rgb it's time I've eaten at a swamis. I think the food needs better quality control. I'm not upset, my stomach was, but I'm not going to eat at a Swami's again. read more

Just came here for a bite, we ordered the stuffed French toast and made it a meal, couldn't beat this one for the price. Interesting location but was quite nice. Will be back for sure read more
