This place is amazing. I feel they need to put a sign that shows they are open in the morning because people that don't know just look and miss them. We had: 1. Wilbur -sausage mixed with egg and bacon on top. This is delicious 2. Breakfast burrito- i added sausage with bacon burrito. They have a Sriracha sauce and jalapeños were added on the side. The lady who took my order was afraid it would be too spicy,so she placed it on the side 3. Loaded tots- so ginormous is a meal on it's own 4. Macchiato - this blew my mind, the lady definitely knew how to make her coffee. She asked if I wanted it like a cappuccino with the foam or the macchiato we all know from sbux or peet's. What blew me away was she asked me if I wanted a cinnamon steamed milk, which just took it to a whole new level ... I can't wait to come back soon read more

We came here for drinks after having brunch, they are outdoor, dog-friendly, and family-friendly spots where you can also get coffee (if the cafe is still open). They play good music and have a TV for sports. There were 6 of us and our server was friendly, knowledgeable about the products, and made food recommendations. Our drinks came fast and they were good. In the afternoon they had a taco stand and you could smell all the goodness they were cooking. read more

Okay so I didn't get a chance to dine-in yet... but I'm definitely going too soon! My wedding was on Saturday and to hurry and grab a quick bite to eat that wasn't junk food or fast food my sisters bf went and picked us up breakfast from there. I got the avocado toast with an over medium cooked egged and omg it was heaven!!!!!! My only thing is they could put a touch less chives... it was too much for my taste but still absolutely so amazingly good! Here is the food in the to-go box. Will leave another review of the place when I get the chance to dine-in. read more

Cool coastal bar in Carlsbad that has an adjacent food option...the beers are good with a nice selection on tap...the food, ordered at a separate window, was on point and in line price wise..the sliders were very good as were the chicken tenders..outdoor seating as well as an upstairs area that looked to be covered in the event of inclement weather...would return in future, RECOMMEND read more

Wandering around Carlsbad Village, I noticed this cute coffee bar and saw that they served food as well. It was a great find! The staff were so great and friendly. The service excellent. This is fast casual service...you order and pay, they bring the food and beverage out to you. Seating is all outdoor. This place is obviously popular with locals. Lots of friends meeting up, with children in tow. The latte was perfect and the sandwich delicious! I had a very pleasant time people watching and enjoying a leisurely breakfast. It is located centrally in the old downtown business neighborhood. read more

I visited on a beautiful Sunday morning. The seating is open and the environment is lively. They have a variety of coffee and latt as well and a few brunch items. There is a bar where you can order mimosas. The service was very fast and the staff is friendly. The food was amazing, adding avocado to the breakfast burritos is a must as well as asking for hot sauce if you like your food spicy. This a cute brunch place I will definitely come back to. read more

Live Crackheads! I'm a regular, but I have one request.. Fix the blown speakers! Sounds like shit!!

I'm usually skeptical about breakfast sandwiches, but this place was so good! I ordered The Softy which was scrambled eggs with chives, bacon, cheese, and "crack sauce" on a bun. The bacon was thin and crispy, my fave. The sauce was also really delicious! Whenever a restaurant lists some type of house sauce I'm usually expecting something similar to thousand island. I was surprised to taste a sauce closer to aioli. Love! The portion was perfect, the sandwich held itself together, and was overall amazing. I'm addicted, so I'm definitely a crackhead now. read more

Great atmosphere, location and prices. Food - average. Not bad, but not great. I would say that this is a place to get drinks, unless you are starving - order food. Service is usually good, unless they are busy, might take a little longer.... read more

Placed a food order and tried to order a latte and the espresso machine is broken. Ordered an $8 kombucha and that came out in a plastic cup full ice liquid maybe would come out to a 1/2 cup of liquid. None of the heat lamps were on and it's 46 out. We asked the bartender to turn them on she told us the barista does it. The barista who was in charge of food orders told me the bartender can turn on the lamps. So basically no heat lamps for anyone. Signs on the lamps say don't turn on yourself. We waited close to 30 minutes for food. When we received our food the eggs were extremely over cooked. Nothing was seasoned with salt. Food was extremely dry and lacked flavor. When I went back to return the food the barista was extremely professional and nice (she was the best part of the experience) and we were refunded for our food. I think for such a nice place they are missing the mark. Broken coffee machine, small drink portions, and bad food. read more

A cute brunch spot in the heart of Carlsbad village! Food: definitely errs on the side of breakfast/brunch menu items with a fun drink selection. We got the breakfast burrito with additions of avocado and tater tots -- greasy, filling, and heavy on the eggs! While it was pretty tasty, I'd say there wasn't anything too special to the burrito itself. The side of salsa however was surprisingly good and had a slight kick to it! Also got the crack burger with its side of fries -- this was VERY delicious with a burger patty topped with an egg and nicely offset by the sweet pickles. Fries were a little underwhelming, but as a support character to the burger, it'll do Service: we originally thought we order at the bar or little shack cashier but were redirected to sit first and wait for a waitress to come by. Ended up at the top deck (pro tip: bring a jacket it's windy up there). Food took some time to come out but we were in no rush so we didn't mind. Main qualms are that we weren't really checked in on besides the initial order and one waitress accidentally threw away my friend's remaining burrito while we were paying on the iPad sadly. Although I probably will not return, I think this is a solid spot for a North County local or even a tourist to try out for a quick lunch or some drinks! read more

Stopped here for a quick breakfast before walking around Carlsbad. Food is decent, nothing exceptional. It was a little greasy but that's expected. Coffee is bland. The waitress didn't seem to be very educated on the menu. The best part about this place is the location and how there is outdoor seating. There is a bar but I did not try their drinks, maybe next time. Right next door is choice juicery. Coffee: 2/5 Service: 3/5 Food: 3.5/5 read more

Good drinks, weird vibe for the high end bar menu. Music is way too loud for afternoon cocktails and it's really pushing a late night bar scene while being an outdoor chill patio location in touristy Carlsbad Village. I really do like the cocktails. Service is very similar to a late night hangout spot, you're leaving over a bar or trying to get a servers attention as they whiz past you. A couple of food options but nothing is gluten free, if you have celiac eat before or after. Four stars for drinks but it loses a star for the mismatched vibe with the location. I miss when this was a hangout for just the weird vegan juice shack thing next to it. I'd swing by if I don't mind yelling at a friend 2 feet from me over the music at 1pm on a Sunday I guess. read more

A beautiful Sunday Morning breeze, fantastic s quick bites, and a beautiful outdoor vibe. We were in town visiting family and wanted to try local favorites. The service was quick, the food was great, and we were in and out of there in no time. The staff were all friendly. Due to COVID there is a scanner for the menu, you order at the window, they cal your name, you get your food, and enjoy. It is self-seating as well. If you are looking for a heavy meal or sit down service this isn't the place. But we were not disappointed at all. I highly recommend the Avacado Toast! read more

We stopped by for brunch after a nice morning walk at the beach. I've been looking out for this restaurant for awhile. The setting is cute and the location is convenient. We ordered the Crackhead, the tater tots, a mocha, and a cosmo (their version). The food was lovely and the service was nice as well. The only thing I didn't like was the cano didn't come in a cosmo glass. The tater tots were the so good though. If we return we'll order that only. read more

Parking along the street right before the restaurant. Located next to a cute smoothie shop. Wilbur - I questioned whether or not this was the Wilbur at first because I couldn't find any sausage. all other pics I saw of it had a sausage patty. I opened it up and saw a couple of sausage pieces thrown in on the top.... Softy - there was way too much bread to really enjoy the sandwich. I just ended up eating the eggs/sausage with the tots. Tots - these were good, def recommend. More sausage on this than the Wilbur sammich. Def get this to share, large portion and it gets overwhelming after getting 1/4 of the way through. Maybe ask for the sauce on the side? It was drenched. I would say eggies does a better job on the sandwiches. The tots were good tho. read more

Good walk by brekkie in a chic lil corner in the village. Full bar is a huge plus. Cute little bar fashioned from a shipping container. Had a softie sandwich and avocado toast. Was a good sandwich overall, I liked mine, and the toast was yummy too. Cute little place in a neat little neighborhood. Get a buzz, cruise the shops, take a min and enjoy. I didn't quite feel the crack sauce, seemed to just be a mayo spread, expected a bit more but that was the only drawback. Affordable fresh breakfast, and I'd do it again if I was in the neighborhood. Thank you! read more

This place is a great place to get brunch! Located near the beach in Carlsbad. A little loud when the train rolls In but the food and the customer service makes up for it. We like to get here in the early morning to beat the mob! I haven't tried their coffee yet, but everyone who's here always orders them, and they all look yummy. We like to go for more of a protein style breakfast and we get the chicken sandwiches. 10/10 would go back and get again. They have heat lamps and picnic style benches and you offer at the front booth read more

After a beach morning with my kids, we decided to come here for brunch. The kids found the name funny, so I had to explain to them about cracking eggs and how it's a breakfast/brunch/lunch place, because well, I don't want my kids to know the words "crackheads" in any other form, ok? LOL. We got the softy crackheads breakfast sandwich, which is soft scrambled eggs with bacon, chives, and their special sauce. We also got the breakfast tots which was amazing! You can taste the fennel in it and even though the tots were covered in the sauce, there's still some perfectly crispy tots and even when it was sopping up the sauce underneath, it still was slightly crispy and delicious! It's now my favorite dish here! And my daughter opted for the crack burger, which was huge, but she loved it and was able to make two meals out of it. Due to COVID, it was outdoor seating, then again, this entire place is outdoor seating and they have spaced the seats out perfectly. We went upstairs to sit further away from everyone and it was a nice view of Carlsbad Village and a nice breeze from the beach as well. I think this may be my go-to brunch place from here on out. Good service, delicious food, unpretentious, and close to the beach! Win, win! read more

Chill atmosphere and good tasting food. The only negative is the train blaring the horn but it didn't bother me as much as it bugged my family.

I was trying to find a breakfast spot going back home from Rosarito. I ordered two Wilbur breakfast sandwiches. Too much bread it was too filling, my breakfast sandwich hardly had any sausage it was more like the essence of sausage. At least it wasn't too expensive I paid eight dollars for a breakfast sandwich. I took off the top bread and scraped off the mayo and ate it. but I would never go back again. Rdawg ordered the same thing but with cheese, he ate it with no complaints. And you know what his sandwich seemed to have more sausage in it. That's why I'm leaving four stars, one star for me and three stars for him. read more

The crackhead egg sandwich was very good. Bread was soft and the sandwich tasted great. I had this for dinner so really it's good anytime not just breakfast. The fried bologna sandwich was a nice changeup from a traditional club sandwich. The combo of fried bologna, pickles, and cheese was tasty. The French fries were also surprisingly good. Quick service too as we were in and out in 30 mins. read more

Great spot for drinks, close to the beach! Nice staff and their bar food is top notch

Such a fun find! We took the girls & our 2 dogs - the breakfast burritos were AMAZING, which keeps this rating from being a 4. My hubby's avocado toast was crazy overflowing with chives, but not much avocado so I think he'd give that dish a 3.5. Our waitress was lovely & accommodating & even tho it was overcast & in the 60s, the space heaters & fire pit made for warm ambiance. Would recommend (just not the avocado toast)! read more

Visited a week ago. Great little outside place. Enjoyed day time. Night is a little loud & busy. Dog friendly. Sat at bar. Service very attentive and friendly. Now my concerns. One bartender used gloves to cut citrus. Was impressed until she broke away to make drinks & take payments, with gloves on and came back to cutting. Found out she used gloves because had a cut & citrus would burn. Not for sanitation. Then we notice that they all tuck their cleaning towels into the back of their pants. Mail bar back tucked his in front. They all use these towels to dry glasses that have just come out of dishwasher. Clean, tuck over and over. Same towels. I truly hope that someone of authority reads this. It's a great fun place. But those infractions are unacceptable. read more

Crackheads - Menu - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Off the list. I've eaten here many times in the past few years for weekend brunch and lunch and it was always good. Today was a complete disappointment. It was a weekday holiday, not very busy. Nobody up top and only a few tables below. There were no servers and no menus this time, you had to scan a code and fight through the often nonresponsive menu site and then order at the counter. Okay fine, whatever, maybe they run it differently on weekdays. The single staffer at the register was nice at least, no complaints there. But the food took over 30 minutes to come out and was tasteless and cold. We had to add salt, pepper and hot sauce for it to have any flavor. The avocado had no detectable seasoning, and the tots were so cold the cheese had solidified and we had to saw through it with the ridiculously small and flimsy plastic utensils that were provided. When we ate here before, at least we had real metal utensils. I don't know what happened here but we most likely will not be coming back. read more

I love hanging out with friends here! They have a really great cocktail list (if you're like me and love an easy, sweet drink, get the cosmosis jones, it's like an amazing pomegranate lemonade) and the vibe is always very relaxed and cozy, even on busy nights. I love how spacious their seating areas are, and that they're dog friendly, so you can meet a lot of cute pups here. I haven't gotten the opportunity to try the food yet, but the bar service is always friendly and prompt. Plus this place is in the perfect spot to add to your weekend bar crawl list. read more

Amazing food, so many options. Best breakfast burrito. Cool sandwich options. Super reasonably priced alcohol. Fun place to hang with a group and meet new people. read more

Not very good breakfast sandwiches. Tough, chewy bacon, not crispy. An egg-sausage mixture, instead of a separate sausage/egg patty. A glob of mayonnaise to mask the flavors. The best thing about this catastrophe was the bun: the least complicated item. Well, at least the people are nice. I suggest focusing on the bar first, before consuming their food sober. read more

We loved their breakfast sandwich and burrito!! We got the Crackhead breakfast sandwich - the bun was soft and fluffy, the bacon was perfectly cooked, melty cheddar and I really liked that the egg was over medium... that is my preferred doneness for yolks because I'm one of the few who don't really care for a runny, messy yolk. The breakfast burrito was exactly how I always wish every breakfast burrito could be - generous amount of melted cheese and the eggs, bacon, sausage and tots were all mixed together so that every bite was THE PERFECT BITE!! Also their hot salsa that came with the burrito was soooo tasty and delicious on the burrito! We can't wait to come back here!! read more

Yummy drinks and cute atmosphere! Our waitress definitely knew her stuff and recommended us drinks that we liked. Atmosphere was chill and spacious.
