Small shopping center next to the flower field, I mean directly next to it! Found a cute purse at Coach that wasn't sold online anymore n was sold out everywhere else! 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. read more

Very strange that majority of the sales being advertised at the outlet stores here are "Buy 1 Get 1 50% off".. which to me, isn't much of a deal. Where's the 60, 70% off? Lol. 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. read more

Carlsbad Premium Outlets - Directory - Shopping Centers Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Know what things are worth before you come here. Higher prices than the manufacturer's website and department stores. Converse on the Nordstrom site for $65 (full price) were $100 at the Converse store. Crocs that were $49 on the website for $79 in the clearance aisle in the store. They really should drop the 'Outlet' portion of the name of this place and just keep it was Premium since this mark up is what you are getting when you come here. Fashion Island and Fashion Valley have a way better selection of stores, more inventory and better pricing. Update: To the business owner's response, please follow up with your tenants why they are selling 'outlet' branded products for significantly above the full resale value from their manufacturer's site. See above examples in the reviews. read more

My overall experience was very positive! Great selection of name brand shops stocked to the limits, casual restaurants and ample parking for all. Had no problem finding a nice fitting hoodie at Tommy Hilfiger, and some jeans at Calvin Klein that didn't break the bank Most importantly I would recommend for your family needs. read more

I like they have some stores I like but not many. Small enough to look around quickly so we stopped by again. My husband wanted to buy Levi's jeans but his size wasn't there. I got some clothes from Ralph Lauren. read more

Carlsbad Premium Outlets - Dog friendly - Shopping Centers Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Carlsbad Premium Outlets is located just off the I-5 freeway and next to the famous Botanical Gardens. As shared by many reviews, the outlet features a wide range of stores, from luxury labels like Coach to popular brands such as Nike. The open-air layout is pleasant, and the center is well-kept, making it a comfortable shopping experience. Deals are available so be the bargain hunter!! With plenty of parking and dining options nearby. Like many "hub spots" the area is now equipped with EV charging stations for both Telsa and non-Telsa (EVGo). It's a great place to charge up, grab a Starbucks and to spend the day scoring deals while enjoying the beautiful Carlsbad weather. read more

Haven't been here in about a year and looks like they have some new additions. I went into the croc store here and they are so many cute style and collabs! I love crocs so much and this is prob my fave crocs store I've visited. I came after the holidays so it was jam packed every where. They even had a chik fil a stand selling sandwiches I've never seen that before. Honestly, considering this is an outlet, most of the stores don't seem to have many sales or that big of a discount to me. Still nice place to shop with plenty of options for everyone read more

I am beyond angry with Sunglass Hut and how they handled a $654 charge that should have been refunded months ago. On 12/18, I placed an online order for sunglasses with in-store pickup selected and was immediately charged $654. Shortly after, I received an email saying the item was not available for pickup and would instead be shipped to the store. That same day, I called the store directly and was told they had the sunglasses in the back and to come pick them up. When I arrived, I was then told I could not receive them under my existing online order and was forced to purchase the exact same sunglasses AGAIN in a separate transaction. The store assured me that once the original online order arrived, they would return it on my behalf and issue a refund for the original $654. I trusted them. That was my mistake. Weeks passed. No refund. I returned to the store and was told the original order had been received and returned, yet no receipt, no confirmation, no proof of refund was ever provided. I contacted corporate customer service, who confirmed: Their system still shows the original item as DELIVERED TO THE STORE, with NO RECORD of a return or refund ever being initiated. I relayed this back to the store. They once again promised the refund would be issued. That conversation happened over two weeks ago. Still nothing. As of today, the $654 charge is STILL on my account, despite multiple assurances, multiple follow-ups, and zero documentation to back up the store's claims. Sunglass Hut has now taken my money, provided no product for that charge, and cannot produce any proof that they returned or refunded anything. This is not a mistake, this is gross incompetence at best and extremely unethical at worst. In attempt to "help" me the manager Yvette has given me her direct cell phone number but is now not replying to me. Save yourself the headache, the stress, and the risk of being double-charged. I will never shop here again, and I strongly recommend others think twice before trusting this company with their money. read more

I had a really disappointing experience at the Crocs store. When I first walked in, an employee named Dominic offered help, and I politely declined because I wanted to look around on my own. A few minutes later, when I did need assistance, I went back to him and asked for help. His response was shockingly rude--he told me, "Don't talk to me, you didn't want my help before, so I won't help you now." I was honestly taken aback by how unprofessional and dismissive that was. When I brought this to the manager's attention, they didn't seem to take the situation seriously or make any effort to resolve it. Customer service should never feel retaliatory or disrespectful. Unfortunately, this experience left a very negative impression, and I hope the store takes steps to address how customers are treated. read more

Great place to hang out right next to the flower fields. Just don't expect outlet pricing. Not a lot of selection in the big stores like Nike and Adidas. Sunglass Hut prices are no deal either read more

I had a Yelp event in Carlsbad, so I stopped by this outlet before the event. The site is not as large as other outlets, but it has all the major brands and is convenient for quick shopping. I bought a jacket from The North Face(60% off) and a cute cargo skirt from Levi's (30% off). I made some good purchases. read more

The only store worth looking at for me was the Coach store. I genuinely thought there was going to be a lot more options and variety. It almost felt like a waste of a visit because we could've definitely just bought this back home. read more

Tons of amazing stores. Large selection of options for men, women, and children. Good value at many of the shops.

Great staff. Answered all my questions. They seem to enjoy their jobs. We were assisted right away. They were very friendly to my uncle from Mexico. Great sales and at checkout they gave me an extra 15% off woohoo. Win win. read more

We shopped for sneakers at the Nike store and Diego was a tremendous help. He was patient with us, two women in our late 60's, and we were grateful for his kindness, his knowledge, and his patience. We left with two pair and, thanks to Diego, we plan to return soon.​​ read more

Outlet malls are so hit and miss. You've got to be really discerning, because not everything you find here is actually a deal. For a lot of the shoe stores (New Balance, Nike), the prices are pretty similar, if not more, than what you'd find online. There are a few of the clothing stores that I have found some great items at like the Ann Taylor. Fashonphile is also a great place to shop for pre-owned, luxury items! Le Creuscet is another go to for me because they have the majority of the products I'd buy from Crate and Barrel and often have popular colors in stock! Overall, a fun place to shop around and easy to park, but deals are hit or miss! read more

I don't get up to Carlsbad often, but this outlet mall has some really good stores with even better deals. You might take some time to browse around, but it'll be worth it. I have never left here without buying a few items. And spending a couple hundred.. Of course I wouldn't wanna waste a long drive up here and leave empty handed. Micheal Kors, Tory Burch, Gap, Converse, Kate Spade, Polo Ralph Lauren, are just some of the stores we check out. I do get tired of shopping after an hour or so, and feel ready to eat or drink somewhere with or without the lady. For food options there is Blaze Pizza, Panda Express, Rubio's, Jersey Mike's, Ruby's Diner and few other lesser knowns. Plenty of parking, though the lots in front can fill up. As is at any outlet malls, many people come for the deals just like I do. Just drive around the back, and you will eventually find a spot likely after circling around a bit. read more

I found this outlet to be small and the prices weren't cheaper than other outlets. However, I did like that it was outdoors and the area was mostly clean and the stores they do have are enjoyable for consumption. Parking on a Saturday evening wasn't too bad either but you do have to scout the area to find parking, took us about 4 mins. There are not too many restaurants and unique cafes or whatnot. Tory Burch = No line but busy inside. However, I got my shoes and earrings easily! Gap = No line and the selection was pretty good. Carters = a bit smelly and warm inside but got my items ok. read more

High end outlet stores in outdoor mall. Near the beach. Pretty clean. Not as many pedo type creeps as other malls.

I am so used to going to the UTC and Fashion Valley malls that never went up north to check these outlets. I was in the area for something else and stopped by to check some stores. For some reason I was not very impressed with this mall, I was expecting luxurious landscaping, places to sit, and a more beautiful look. Also, did not find any special deal even if I checked at various sport outfit stores. read more

Outlet Mall is a destination before school starts up again. Our quest was for shoes and clothing that are of prime importance when beginning middle school and high school. We walked from one end of the Carlsbad Premium Outlets to the other far corner. We stopped at several of the main brands, such as Levi's and Sketchers and Van's and Under Armor and Chicos, and several more. One observation was that we came during a weekday afternoon, and it was definitely less crowded. The sun, however, made for a real warm day, and one wish is to have more bench seating in the shaded areas of the buildings. Yes, there were seating areas, and tired patrons looking for a rest haven. The shopping was a value filled and successful endeavor, and the young students will be ready. read more

A decent size outlet if you're in the area and want to get some shopping down. We arrived around 5pm on a Thursday and the place was empty so it made walking around very easy and comfortable. The sales are similar to most of the premium outlet store and we scored some great deals at Under Armor/Nike. We'll probably make this a stop when are are in town or passing down to San Diego. read more

Small outlet mall, right off the freeway while passing through Carlsbad. We came here the weekend after Memorial Day, so it wasn't very crowded. There is plenty of ground level parking in front of each store, allowing one to be in and out quickly. It has a very similar selection of stores as other outlets in the area. We walked the entire area (with some stop-ins) in about an hour. Noticed the the word 'premium' is used for all outlet malls these days, all having the same mix of brands, but none of them having the top designer and luxury brands that don't want to be mixed with the word 'outlet'. But there are some 'outlets' that have brands like burberry, gucci, jimmy choo, lagerfeld, prada...though not in the SoCal area (I think). read more

Carlsbad Premium Outlets - maybe a good time to come back? - Shopping Centers Near Me - Carlsbad, California

I special ordered a pair of legging which I paid for and had them shipped to the store for pickup. I received an email stating they were in on Weds 12/31. I went to pick them up on Friday 1/2 and they had canceled my order and sold it to someone else! They claim it's their 48 hr policy ( something not stated in the email I had received) but the fact I drove 30 minutes to pick up a product I ordered and paid for only to have them cancel it and resell it, is unacceptable. The customer service here is laughable! You would think a company that sells quality products would also have stellar customer service. Obviously not the case! I will take my business elsewhere! I can pay $98 somewhere else for leggings. read more

I LOVE Zumiez. Maybe not the skateboards, but definitely the style. Clothes are nice, and there are workers everywhere. Great selection of music, and there are so many sales. 2 pants and 2 shirts for $135 dollars is so worth it. Check it out if you love the skater style! (Don't buy a skateboard) read more

Great environment and music, great customer service from David, great guy! Top tier experience, definitely will be back

Great place to shop but I wouldn't shop close or near a holiday because we all know prices will be marked up. It's very clean and safe. All the stores are well kept and in some stores customer service was outstanding and others no so much. Great selection of stores, whatever you're looking for that particular store will be there. We found what we needed for our family (Christmas gifts) and were very pleased customers. I would shop there again. read more

This is a shout to recognize an employee -- Want to say thank you to Alee (spelling?) who worked the register yesterday afternoon at 4ish. She took the time to help me sign in to the app to get 15% off. Not only did she teach me a new trick, she was incredibly patient and kind. Super professional and positive. Thank you so much for testing your customers with warmth and respect. Thank you to the whole staff in general. It's a busy store but you keep it clean and well stocked. Awesome selection to boot. Keep up the good work! read more

Wonderful. Lots of parking and shops! There's a ton of places to go to and the food court is pretty big. I remember being with my gf when she bought her first Gucci bag. Haha, $$$$. Now they have a bunch of Tesla chargers there, if you need EV. We loved the Nike outlet. Just go with an open mind and a bottle of water to enjoy the marathon. read more

I love the outlets here. The place has a lot of stores to choose from. My favorite place is the New Balance store. They have a lot of good deals, parking here is never a problem and the service in these stores is generally good. I feel a lot of the places have good prices and often have a lot to choose from. Always a good experience here. read more

This review is coming from someone who lives in Hawaii. In Hawaii, everything is expensive including our own outlets which are not the best at all. We came to Cali for spring break and in my own humble opinion I bought more stuff at this outlet for my 20yo than at Citadel or even Honolulu. We came during Hawaii spring break and found ample parking during the week. We also went after visiting Legoland so it was after 3pm. These premium outlets are better priced than our premium outlets at Waikele and have much more variety. I would definitely return when in the Carlsbad area. read more

Decent outlet mall with easy access to the 5 freeway. The few times I've gone, foot traffic is definitely on the lighter end. I remember when this place used to be pretty packed, so it's obviously showing it's age and wear. The parking troubles that previous reviewers wrote about years ago wasn't apparent during my most recent visits - I was able to find plenty of parking when I'd stop by - usually early in the morning when they first open, or the last hour or so before they close. The deals are hit or miss - some stores have deep discounts for quality items - I was able to pick up a TUMI wallet (https://www.yelp.com/biz/tumi-outlet-carlsbad?hrid=laGlLk1XG6-iXnS6mmQYQQ) at a great price - with no visible defects. The CK store had some uptight employees that forget they are working retail and aren't really better than their customers. But that's a specific store problem, not the fault of the mall. In any case, it's always worth a visit for me when I'm in the area - usually on the way to/from San Diego or the Safari Park. read more
