There is also a Jimbo's grocery store and several different restaurants. Henry's and Parakeet Cafe are the newer additions to the existing lineup. The Forum hosts community events on major holidays as well as free workout events on the weekends. I recently went to their Art and Walk walkaround event and loved it, there were food samples from the participating restaurants, wine tasting and live music. Overall great vibes and fantastic event. I enjoy coming here for a coffee, shopping or a bite to eat.

There is no security building that we could find or anyone to talk to about it, so guess I'm just on their hit list and risk my car getting towed if I ever come back to this mall!

Workers were very attentive and helpful. Actually had to go back and buy it bc I couldn't stop thinking about it lol Went to the toy store and found rare stuff my son was hunting for so that was a treat. The staff there were also very helpful and gave my son few free sleeves for his one piece cards. The place is very small, very clean and all the stores were organized. It wasn't very packed on a Saturday, it didn't feel that way but the parking was a hot mess. Lol maybe bc they share parking with the flower field. My favorite is the view of the flower field next door. Really is heaven on earth when you see such colors surrounding you.

I guess not too common nowadays. These outlets in general is pretty standard with pretty empty crowds so it's not hard to find a parking spot. The vibes here feel like more of a casual mall with the food and iced tea shops having more people in line for than any of the retail stores. However.. I was able to find a great deal at one of the stores! Still worth walking around to look and browse through some stores. Children activities.. they have a fun life-sized checkers board to play with and even a train ride.

4 stars The Shoppes…read moreat Carlsbad is a solid indoor mall for North County. Good mix of stores like Macy's, H&M, Vans, and Sephora, plus a nice variety of food at the courtyard. The mini Bazaar on weekends is a cool touch with local vendors and collectibles. Parking is easy and it never feels too packed compared to UTC or Fashion Valley. Movie theater and Dave & Buster's make it good for more than just shopping. Only downside is a few empty storefronts and the food court could use an upgrade. Overall it's clean, family-friendly, and convenient if you're in Carlsbad. Worth a trip if you want to avoid the big mall crowds.

It's been a few years since I've been to The Shoppes at Carlsbad. There's been a lot of changes,…read moreboth good and bad that I've noticed. First the good: amazing renovations have improved the shopping experience. New flooring; sitting areas with power outlets and comfortable chairs; very comfortable outdoor living space with modern conveniences; a PAW-sitive environment for a 4 legged friends; a very clean and well maintained modern shopping area. The restaurants are all centrally located. Lots of parking areas with easy access. The bad: a sad commentary on the shopping climate/culture with an abundance of closed and empty restaurants and stores. The online shopping experience has resulted in brick and mortar businesses to experience more and more contraction of their customer base since the pandemic of COVID-19. At the time of my visit, there were a few number of shoppers in the mall. It saddens me to see the effects of the online shopping economy. I will try to support more businesses in physical stores and retail shops. It's difficult when you compete with the low price points and convenience of next day delivery from online retailers.

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.

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.

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. Whether you're looking for a quick bite, a special gift, or just a stroll, Village Faire offers a delightful mix of coastal charm and convenience.

On my last visit, I noticed a fairly new set of electric charging stations for electric cars-- nice that green-friendly shoppers can be supported.

Maybe that's why their website makes a point to mention "rideshare drop-off / pick-up friendly". We've been to the center three times, usually midday, both during the week and once on a weekend. Two of those times we couldn't find parking and left to take our business elsewhere. Yes we could have driven around and around for the eventual space but there wasn't anything in there to warrant that for us. Maybe someone else won't feel the same way. May try again in the future if I'm in the area but won't make plans to meet anyone there in case there isn't any parking.
