Mermaids is a women's apparel boutique located at Carlsbad Village Faire…read more The boutique has chic, relaxing and inviting ambience.The decor and furniture has a mixture of soft and light blue color and crisp white which reflects the beach environment. I visited the women's apparel, but I realized there is another Mermaids boutique for children and gift shop. Unfortunately, it was closed by the time I stopped by. The boutique has a nice selection of chic and fashion clothes as well as casual style for the beach. They also have beautiful accessories. The price was reasonable. The staff were very nice. Definitely, I will come back to Mermaids

Municipal Coffee has officially become our go-to spot! It's tucked just inside of Marky Mark's…read moreMunicipal Athletic-wear store just off Coast Highway in O-side. It's truly the kind of place you find once and then keep coming back to. The vanilla lattes are beautifully crafted; smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced without being overly sweet. And then there's Camden... he completely elevates the experience. You can tell he genuinely cares about the craft. From serving espresso in a ceramic cup to walking you through the tradition of pairing it with sparkling water (very European, very cool), it turns a simple coffee run into something memorable. And the brownie... the brownie... wow. Warmed to perfection with thick walnuts and enjoyed out on the patio, it's dangerously good. Like, "we came for coffee and accidentally had a whole moment" kind of good. If you're anywhere near Coast Highway, don't miss this spot, especially if you're here for the café experience.

Absolutely LOVE this place!…read more I first discovered Municipal last year after realizing one of the owners is Mark Wahlberg and as a longtime fan, I had to check it out. First off, having Urth Caffé inside the store is such a game changer. The coffee is incredible, and the whole setup is just next level. It's not your typical cramped coffee shop. There's actually space to sit, work, and enjoy your time without feeling rushed or squeezed in. The vibe here is unmatched. It's become one of those spots where you can get work done, meet up with people, or just hang out. I've even found myself regularly connecting with others who now use this as their go-to morning coffee spot. And the people? Top tier. Kamden, the GM of the coffee shop, is one of the most welcoming and positive people you'll meet. He genuinely makes your experience fun and memorable every single time. On top of that, the apparel is seriously impressive. Municipal is putting out gear that absolutely rivals anything else on the market. The quality is outstanding, and their shoes? Unreal. I wear them daily! They're that comfortable and versatile. If you're anywhere near South Oceanside off PCH, you HAVE to check this place out. Coffee, workspace, community, and top-tier apparel all in one spot. It doesn't get much better than this!

I am a real woman with curves and appreciate being able to wear fashionable items that are cut with ample room for the ladies to stay covered. Lorielle has impeccable taste which can be seen in the details and embellishments throughout the store, all of which are sold at reasonable prices. The side street location is steps off of the beaten path where you will find gifts for the feminine crowd. They even gift wrap the bounty with hand made bows to make them fun to unwrap. If you like to play live barbie doll then bring a friend and play dress up in the store. The staff are experts and happy to help you find just the perfect piece for a special occasion or something that you will want to wear everyday. You will make a fashion statement with your polished looks not only because of the fun textured and detailed clothing, but because of that smile that beams from your eyes when you look and feel radiant.

This little tiny boutique sits just across the road from Panakins on N. Coast Hwy 101 in the…read moreLeucadia section of Encinitas. The owner Laurie LaForest has excellent taste in choosing what is in the shop. The clothes are generally on the casual side and always fashionably pretty with some romantic thrown in. There are always dress up items thrown in. The jewelry is all handmade from local artists and is very pretty as well. Since the shop is small she only carries a few of each item so buy it when you see it or else someone else will grab it up.

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.

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!!!

I personally LOVE that everything is organized by color! My reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is just that the price points are a little higher then some other places I frequent, and they have a mix of thrift and new merch, but it's hard to tell which is which.

Spent some time in Asylum buying a couple bracelets and hunting for sandals for my college-age son…read more The owner (I believe?? Rich?) was incredibly helpful explaining the differences in sandals, how to fit them, and with helping us figure out which were best for my kid. He let him try on all the pairs, talked to him about which were better for his needs and how they should fit. He didn't have to do any of this, but did! Challenge was they were sold out of my son's size. This man coulda tried to talk him into something else (wherein we would have left temporarily happy but ultimately displeased), but he did not. He sent us down the way to another local shop in the hopes they'd have what we needed (they also did not). We returned and he made sure to give my son the model info so we could buy the right ones on our own and was super helpful and pleasant about all of it. Sure, I would have preferred to buy them directly at the store, but it wasn't to be and unlike some big box or online place, he gave wonderful human service like only a small shop can. 100% recommend coming here for some shopping. They have a good wetsuit selection, body boards and surf boards for sale, wax, Vans, swimsuits, sandals, clothing and more. The inventory is great and the staff is a bonus. Thanks again, Asylum!
