I seen my coworker eating this one day and had to come back for one myself. It didn't disappoint and I'm on and off when it comes to avocado toast, I need to be in the mood for it. It's something I wished I craved more and Love Island makes seem like it's the best thing since sliced bread, I mean it does have bread. Anyways, this place is a must stop by and pick up something! They have a smaller menu but it's one of those menus with a lot of good things to choose from. I will be back for some more, it's also super cute in here! Thanks for the amazing tasting toast! I also love how the burn the edges of the toast, makes even yummier if that's a word haha The outdoor area seems to be a place where people like to bring their kids and chill by the water. There is a nice fountain area within the common area along with a lot of other places to eat. It could also be a great place for groups to meet up and have several different options to eat instead of only having one place to choose from. read more

We stopped by The Morning Grove recently since it was in such a convenient location, right in The Island plaza and just a short walk/drive from the Residence Inn where we were staying. The first thing you notice is the cafe decor, which is very cute and makes for a welcoming atmosphere. We ordered The Lemonberry, The Golden Wrap, and two iced lattes (one large and one small). The food, presentation-wise, everything was on point. The lattes were solid, and the Lemonberry was a nice treat. However, the experience took a turn with the Golden Wrap, which my wife and I decided to split "halfies." While eating it, we noticed the wrap had a distinctively sour taste coming from the egg. We initially chalked it up to a specific seasoning or a tangy twist on the recipe. Unfortunately, about two hours later, both of us started feeling very funky and nauseous. Since we hadn't had any other food or drink during that window of time, the wrap is the unconfirmed culprit of our stomach upset. It's a shame because the vibe of the place is lovely, and the rest of the order was perfectly fine, but the aftermath of the Golden Wrap definitely dampened the experience. If you go, maybe stick to the drinks and the sweeter options! read more

This was a cute little spot! I loved the decor. I didn't realize the exact location until I pulled up, and immediately knew it was going to be small. It was, only about a few seats inside, but a lot of outside seating. The drinks were really good. Even though they ran out of blueberries for the lemonade they were able to add strawberries instead. The sandwich I chose wasn't that great, but my friend enjoyed theirs. Overall, cute spot for a least a drink. read more

The Morning Grove is a really cuuute brunch/coffee spot in the inland part of Carlsbad called The Island. The Spring decor created joyful warm vibes which made me want to hang around. Although inside has limited seating, I luckily snagged a table but good to see there were more seating outside where it's an open area. Kudos to the staff for multitasking to address the busyness. I had to wait a bit but it was worth it since I enjoyed my crissspy croissant sandwich and wildflower latte. I definitely recommend this hidden gem to the Yelp Community :-) read more

Yummy coffee and snacks!! I love the cinnamon honey iced latte. The staff is always sweet and friendly!

Fairly new place located at the food court of the Island of Carlsbad. Cute establishment with a nice aesthetic. There's only a couple of small tables inside so I assume seating is primarily outdoor in the common area. Customer service was average. Menu consists of various coffees, teas, smoothies, breakfast and lunch items. I was here to try the coffee. I got the iced caramel cloud and it was delicious. Caramel & white chocolate? It was a great choice. There were 2 sizes, 12 or 16oz. I chose to get the 16oz. I did have to question whether it was the 16 because it looked small. So far, it seems promising. I'll have to go back and try their other menu items. read more

Such a cute vibe! The girls working were so nice and helpful also. I wasn't sure what to order since I don't like super sweet drinks, and was suggested the Sol but only half the sweetness. It was perfect! I hope to come back here again before our vacation is over. read more

The Morning Grove is the cutest, most welcoming cafe in The Island. Hidden between Breakfast Mug & PT Fusion, this is a perfect place to get your morning coffee. I went in today after it was recommended to me by my husband; met the owner, Nathaly, and she was amazing! Great conversational skills, bubbly, happy to be there. TMG has only been open 7 months and, as a coffee snob, it was WONDERFUL! I tried the Caramel Cloud Iced and it was the perfect balance between sweet and strong, freshly brewed coffee. The white chocolate was not too overpowering (like some places) and instead, added a nice, subtle aftertaste. Highly recommend to anyone wanting a coffee, lunch, or pastry. The pastries she had on display looked delectable! read more

The Morning Grove - The Pink Dose !! Very delicious and very filling for a quick drink to sip on ! - Wraps Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Looks like somewhere to try in this area of Carlsbad that is (in my opinion) lacking cafes with strong espresso drinks and simple egg and cheese breakfast sandwiches , like the ones offered here as a solution to that problem! it's not open on Sundays like some of the other businesses in this food court as I write this. read more

I cannot believe I haven't written a review about this place yet. I was actually coming in here to update my post with additional photos nut was shocked to see I haven't yet posted about this gem. This owner goes above and beyond with thoughtful details, makes me feel spoiled like a partner should treat you and I get this here. It's the little things that elevate your life. The food is healthy and delicious, and the drinks too. The seasonal decor is adorbs. I just had a banana latte and (I don't like too banana things or too sugary) and it was super balanced and friggin delish. And what really sets me over the edge to get my lazy butt to volunteerily write this is the added enhancements. Look at my cup. She has holiday sprinkles and a micro holiday sticker logo! That is super unique, adorbs, and makes my life feel special. I love moments like this. It reminds me of my time in Japan. Thanks for going the extra mile and making every encounter special. Other businesses should add their sparkle like you do. read more

came by for lunch but a worker was talking to someone by the door and blocking the entrance. once we got in line, we were ignored bc maybe they thought we were still looking and let the people who walked around us and stood to the side order first. i didn't appreciate being ignored and not being acknowledged that i was next in line so we decided to get pizza instead. the place is super cute though and aesthetic but the workers could use some extra training. maybe i'll stop by not around lunch next time for a better experience read more
