I spotted this Dollar Tree while turning around in North County Plaza and decided to try picking up a few items. Based on recent experiences with other Dollar Trees, my expectations were low. Wow ... was I surprised! This is a large Dollar Tree with well-stocked shelves. The associates I encountered were friendly and helpful. There were two check-out lines operating, and I had only three customers ahead of me. It was a quick visit, and I found the items I wanted. read more

Affordable Party Essentials with Consistent Service With tariffs constantly fluctuating, I truly hope places like this stick around. It's a bit of a double-edged sword--while cheap products make it easier to fully theme out our parties, it's also what keeps me coming back. This location gets busy but operates like your average dollar store. The shelves are always stocked and well-organized, and the employees have been consistently helpful during my many visits. read more

I'm just guessing the most people don't leave a review for the Dollar Tree. I am happy to make some comments about this particular location. It's Christmas time, and for most of us, it's a bit of a foot race. I was looking for a particular product for my daughter which she was having trouble finding. So I called ahead to the Carlsbad store to check for availability. The staff, Rachel in particular, was so accommodating. She took the time to run down the product ( Yay, they had it) and put it aside for me. The store was busy when I arrived, but help was on the way . Alva quickly found product and brought me through a short line. I was expecting an ordeal in finding this item. Rachel and Alva made it happen. Thanks to both of you. Merry Christmas to all! read more

They have hallmark cards for $1! So it's nice to stock up without paying $5-9 at other places for quality cards. Great cashiers and shelves well stocked for various holidays. I found some good scrapbook items here. Give them a look read more

The reason I gave this location a five star is because of the workers and the cleanliness of the store and it's fully stocked!!! the manager Rachael is very eager to help and just a kind person and the workers are very friendly and the store is always clean and well stocked go check it out read more

A good place to buy Easter or Christmas candy when purchasing for lots of grandchildren or nieces and nephews. They carry a good variety of sweets which you can balance out with activities of reading or toys for the little ones. We found the original marshmallow peeps as well as new and unusual flavors and colors. I did not know there was a Dr. Pepper peeps before this past weekend. They of course have hollow and solid chocolate whether milk chocolate, dark or white as well as crispness or cookies and cream flavored east bunnies and other animals. There are various types and plastic eggs, Easter grass, brands of jelly beans and toys or tiny soft rabbits. Even junior mints got into the Easter act by making the shape as a flat egg and instead of the sweet white mint filling each egg either has blue, pink or green filling with the same original flavor. This is a good place if you need something inexpensive and seasonal for the little ones. Sandra read more

1/16/23 @ 9AM was cashing out and the woman ringing me up decided to very rudely comment on my weight. "Wow is this why you're so skinny? All you're buying is Tuna packets?" Mind you, my purchase was for my husband, nonetheless what I purchase and why is also none of your business. As for why I'm skinny or how I continue to appear skinny should be no one's business either. Under no circumstances should your cashiers be commenting on people's bodies and weight, I might have let it go and walked away but there is people out there who seriously struggle with their body image and unnecessary/uncalled for comments about one's body should not be tolerated. Learn to keep your mouth shut and don't make comments about someone's body. You get paid to cash people out at a register, you're not getting paid to be nosy. Mind your own business and do your job. read more

Dollar Tree - Cashier's name is Malena - Discount Store Near Me - Carlsbad, California

Lots of crafting stuff and seasonal decor. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Gets busy in there

I like coming here because you guessed it!! Everything is $1 well $1.25 now, still cheaper than the 99CT store which is $2.99 and up. I came here on Sunday and it was so packed. I don't mind the wait since I know they are always busy. Their selection is amazing, literally all the holidays are there. We grabbed some items and left. The cashier was nice. I know some have attitudes but this lady with brown hair was in a happy mood. read more

Ii love that they open @ 8am and they have Hallmark greeting cards for a Dollar or 2for a dollar ;) super convenient for stocking them up for all occasions. read more

Dollar Tree - 2 for a dolla- 'Holla!! - Discount Store Near Me - Carlsbad, California

I absolutely love this Dollar Tree! This is the largest location I have ever been to! They also sell frozen foods and drinks, snacks, housewares and so much more! We took awhile to walk around at this huge location. We picked up a couple drinks and a few cleaning items. I literally could buy a lot of stuff here. I'm on a budget and just got the necessities. Greeting cards are 2 for $1.00! I buy my cards at Dollar Tree and snacks and drinks. I was glad to visit this location for the first time. It's an hour away from where I live but if we are in the area we will stop by. read more

Dollar Tree - Cool stuff for kids - Discount Store Near Me - Carlsbad, California

I didn't come with expectations, so I could walk out with nice surprises! Hey it's Dollar Tree, ain't no target or Neiman Marcus, so the fact that the shelves are somewhat organized and people are not too weird, I'll give it 5 stars. The best bargains here are the greeting cards. There's a secondary line by hallmark that I didn't know of and their cards are sold here for 50 cents when the original price tag on the back says 2.49. It never makes sense to me to spend more than $3 on a card. Their card selection is huge and very organized. You'll find what you need here. Another bargain is the kitchen tools. A ladle for $1? Sign me up. Also you can't miss the 6 outlet socket converter. You turn your regular 2 outlet socket to 6 for $1. I can finally plug everything I need on one wall! Sorry I bought the last one they had that day and I'm going back to buy more. Then you also have lots of cheap party supplies and assorted helium balloons for $1 when Party City sells it for $2.99. $2 might not be a big difference, but that's 200% more profit for them right there. Be a wise shopper and come here first before you head elsewhere. Also it's in Carlsbad after all, probably the least ghetto dollar tree I've been too. I'd totally come back. Thank you China. read more

Today, as I was checking out, the lady in front of me was really rude to the cashier. The cashier was a lady with blond hair. One of the other employees mentioned that it was the cashier's fourth day on the job. I should have said something when the customer was bring mean and rude. The cashier did an excellent job when I check out. She was friendly and very pleasant. I think she's an asset to this store! read more

love this store. come here very often and eveyeone here is always so nice and helpful! always lots of cool new stuff. And most of the stuff is good quality for the price read more

The rudest old woman I have ever met in my life are employed at this store. The first one was so rude to this poor old man just looking for balloons and the second one kept saying negative slurs to the other cashier just talking back and forth about the customers while checking out! Never coming here again. read more

Rachel, The manager at this location, is amazing! She is on top of everything and very friendly and hard-working... Recently when they were out of helium, she would call around and find the other dollar trees that carried it very thoughtful to her customers, she deserves a raise! Makes my day to see her when she's there read more

I've been to this Dollar Tree a few times. It is a fairly large store. What makes this Dollar store stand out from the others is that it is always clean, organized and the cashiers are friendly. There is plenty of parking also. I came here to purchase reading glasses, and I was in and out fairly quickly. I'll be back. read more

I literally just went to this store, and the blonde haired, pale skinned female cashier with bright red lipstick was so incredibly rude to me, I am just in shock! She refused to give me my receipt & I had to reach behind the counter & rip it out & take it, myself. She also refused to give me the bag that I already paid for--which is behind the counter, so I couldn't even reach it. She refused to bag my things, too. I had to ask her repeatedly for a bag & had to bag my items, myself. If I were the manager of this store, this woman would have been FIRED ON THE SPOT!!!! I am 57 years old, and I have NEVER been treated this way by a cashier before! There is one other employee there, a Hispanic looking woman who is also always rude, but her rudeness is in not speaking back to you when you speak to her. At least she gives you a receipt, a bag, & bags your things. The other employees can be quite nice, but this one was SO BAD that I don't even want to shop there anymore! I hope she doesn't last long there, because this is the closest Dollar Tree to me, so I'll have to drive kind of far to go to another one instead. I am still in shock about how blatantly rude this woman was, and she was literally REFUSING to do her job!!!! I had been kind & friendly the entire time. I don't know what her problem is, but a person like that has no business working for the public. She obviously has zero customer service skills. read more

Dirty store with rude staff. Also, be careful with this place... my card got compromised on three separate occasions and every time my last purchase was here. read more

I was on my way home from a beach run and needed to stop by the ATM. The ATM just so happened to be in the same shopping center as DT. I had drank all my water, and needed hydration STAT. Reluctantly, I went inside DT for a cold drink. I found Gatorade. Went to purchase and the line was super long! For 1 item, I was in line for about 15 mins. Annoyed... read more

25% increase at Dollar Tree stores! Truly a Biden type raise. Go check out Wal-Mart instead.

Since Dollar Tree increased prices 25% last year (earlier than press releases said), they have gotten less service-oriented, less customer-oriented, an unpleasant place to shop. This one will only bag your purchases if you pay for a bag. (Jerry even had gloves on, but did not offer to put things in my bag.) They leave carts with stock in the middle of aisles. Today, a clerk was stocking shelves, blocking the way for customers. When I said, "excuse me," she wouldn't move. They should realize that such a dramatic increase in price should mean a little better service. read more

The store is always clean and they always have a better selection than other dollar trees. The balloons and party items always work for me. The cashiers are nice and I always find good items for craft projects here. It's a good place to get things that shouldn't cost an arm and a leg. Good deals. read more

I always come here to pick up wrapping paper, cards, party decorations - How much you say?....that's right ONE DOLLAR! You can't beat that. A few other businesses in this plaza include: Marshalls, Verizon, some Christian book store, Edible Arrangements, Olive Garden, Souplantaion, the Greek Corner Cafe....the list goes on. I will say, I feel like it takes forever to get out of this store. Possibly a little understaffed for the volume of customers that need help. read more

The most dirtiest store I've ever been in. The floors were filthy and trash up by the door. Is there a manager at this store?!

I will never understand why it takes half an hour to check out. You have more than 5 employees on the floor restocking things yet you can't get one of them to help make the line of 15+ people move faster. Everything is only a dollar so I guess I should just suck it up but it takes so long to check out that it makes me just want to go to Target and spend the extra money. Hire some new people or train some on the register do something about the lines! read more

This place is a filthy dump. Nothing is clean. The office door is past filthy. The clerks shirt was beyond dirty. I feel sorry if you had to work at this location. read more

This store does a good job. My only hesitation is the innate desire to contribute to environmental demise by making unnecessary purchases of plastic stuff. read more

Worst dollar tree I've ever been to!!! The manager is very unprofessional. Not helpful at all! Too busy running around doing nothing acting busy and smoking out front ! Disgusting! I would not recommend this place the bathrooms are filthy and the store is so unorganized ! read more

Not a bad place to find some deals, I guess I just couldn't find mine! Employees were very helpful and they were quick to get people rung up and out of the store. I needed some storage boxes , but they had run out. I was able to find a couple of other things plus some candy for the husband. If you're looking to go cheap on a project, food, stationary, school supplies, etc: this is your spot. read more

I love dollar stores. Can't help it. Always end up buying more than I intended to but what the heck, only a dollar apiece, right? This Dollar Tree is located in a small plaza. Good parking availability/ Decent sized store (but not the largest Dollar Tree I've been to) so pretty good selection. Friendly cashier, too. What more could anyone want? read more

Don't know who Isabel V met at this Dollar Tree but I have shopped there since they opened and the store manager and all employees have always been pleasant and accommodating. Seems to me that this type of name calling and demeaning language is totally unwarranted. read more

I love this dollar tree! Always clean, always well stocked, the staff is nice and there is never a HUGE line. It's not too crowded and even when it is, the other customers walk and actually move out of your way unlike other stores. Keep it up Dollar Tree! read more

A great dollar store. Great place to get party supplies, greeting cards and some holiday stuff. It's worth the short drive there to stock up on 1$ cards that are 5$ else ware, and the quality is amazing even for a few buck. This place is super clean, friendly and help full staff. Good candy and food selection. It's high on the bang for a buck meter. read more

I'm gonna have to say I like this dollar tree the best out of the Oceanside locations. It's big, normally pretty clean and organized , they have a great selection of merchandise and re staff are generally pretty friendly. I like how have they have the flower rack outside it makes the store look welcoming but that's just a person preference probably. When you enter the carts are on the right. This is a great place to get birthday balloons heck birthday supplies in general they have a lot of stuff. They won't blow up the balloons in bags that they sell though :-( . Oh this location also sells ice. A big bag for only 1$ . They have pool toys , school supplies , craft stuff , food ( all kinds of basics) , cleaning stuff , home and kitchen stuff. Seriously that have it all. So go check it out! read more

I'm not usually in the Oceanside area but visit this location from time and time and they usually have everything I am in need of or searching to find. This store is usually busy every time so others must agree. read more

So much cleaner & better organized than any other $ I've been too! Employees were in good moods, even went to the back to find what I was looking for, opened up another register when the checkout line grew. read more

This is the cleanest and nicest Dollar Tree I have ever been in. The staff are friendly and helpful. When I asked where I could find hangers they took me over to where they were located! Their customer service exceeds my expectations! Plus everything is only $1.00!!! This place is amazing!! Their frozen food selection is off the hook and tastes pretty darn good! read more

Terrible service. A employee said that if your in a hurry this isn't the store to shop at. Needless to say I'll go elsewhere from now on. Not that that they will care because apparently they DON'T care. read more
