Pretty decent mall on the border of O'side and Carlsbad. It's got a decent selection of stores but…read moreI wouldn't call it "high end" - but, for me, that's a good thing. Doesn't seem like it gets crowded very often but, then again, malls ain't what they used to be (I've been here a few times now). This mall has some cool stores and, interestingly, a section at the back end of the mall for collectibles and such...almost like a mini Frank and Sons (IYKYK). For the stores I've visited, my interactions were largely positive - friendly, helpful staff. Some stores are more expensive than others but it depends on what you're looking for and how much you're willing to spend. Remember - it's a mall. Would definitely return to check out some movies, for sure the comic store and collectible section at the back end of the mall on second floor.

I ended up stopping by the Shoppes at Carlsbad while trying to find the Luna Grill restaurant in…read moreCarlsbad. My family and I were staying at Legoland, and one evening, we decided to eat at Luna Grill. We couldn't find the entrance to the restaurant, but the directions kept providing the location at The Shoppes at Carlsbad. We ended up parking, and exploring some of the stores inside, until we found out the restaurant was located on the opposite side of the main entrance and you go inside the restaurant outside of the mall. While exploring inside the mall though, it did have a lot of stores and entertainment available. It was nice that it was indoors and there looked to be a lot of other dining options available! There was plenty of parking spots too! If you're visiting Legoland theme park, and staying a few days, I'd recommend stopping by this mall. It was nice to take a break from the theme park and you can get a chance to go shopping!

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.

OMG!! May I just say: THIS IS THE CLEANEST ONE I HAVE YET TO BE IN! Not only that, but I got a…read morecart (not kidding!!)AND everything on my list. In other words, they had an inventory. 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 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.

This was during their early set-up they were just settling into this comfortable space. Oceanside has created several community shared spaces over recent years, adding to the craft beer, local wine and thriving food scene. A co-op style environment, where local artists, makers and creatives show off there work and which you can support and shop SoCal. There is one of a kind art, fashion and jewelry. An added bonus is coffee, so you can linger longer with abundant seating around. It's one of those places where you will always get your find on; a card, a baby gift, a plant.
