There are two floors with about 40 restaurants, shops and services surrounding a wonderful fountain courtyard with plenty of benches. My eldest daughter and I were here to have a ramen meal at GONZO! Ramen (very delicious!). Got a chance to shop at GONZO! Store (very cute!). Swung on over to Hooked on Poke and Presotea for an extended meal with a poke bowl and avocado smoothie (just okay). Carmel popcorn and lemonade pickup from Always Popping (nothing special). We couldn't help ourselves, but to walk on over to GelatoLove to enjoy some yummy Amarena gelato (so yummy!). It's a great place to dine, shop, chill and people watch. We had an amazing visit. If we didn't need to go someplace else that evening, we would have stayed here a bit longer. We'll definitely return to check out the other restaurants next time. Thank you Carlsbad Village Faire Shops!

The whole area is more pedestrian friendly with these crosswalks included in the design. There are a variety of breweries, restaurants, and things to do. I'm a huge fan of Candles on Tap- where you can create your own custom scented candle. Modern Times Taproom is a fave when I'm wanting a beer and I love the gelato shop. Parking can be a little tricky, but that's how it goes when you're steps away from the city's best dining/retail AND the beach. Go for sunset, stay for drinks & dinner. It's a great place to be!

The staff do not wear gloves. There are some hand sanitizers available for customers to use. This place is open and available with limited capacity. They are not sanitizing in between customers. While I was grabbing some food and drinks here in this establishment several days ago, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the moment. They currently don't have happy hour. They also do not allow pets in their establishment. Parking: The parking lot for this establishment is decent size. It is right across from McDonalds. The parking spots here are not too bad. Food & Drinks: I bought some chips and alcohol here. Great selection of alcohol here to choose from. A lot of them are actually cheaper than the ones that you buy outside of base. Staff: The staff here are very kind, friendly, and helpful. They accept both cash and credit cards. There is no credit card minimum. They speak English and Spanish here. Whoever said they spoke tagalong clearly doesn't understand Spanish or has never heard of Spanish before. Lol. I spoke to her and she understood me just fine.

Dear Little India Center,…read more Uppar kya hai? (What's up?) Thank you for helping ease me back into the real world after spending six months in India last year. You know exactly how to take care of my cravings for all things Indian. You had the foresight to fill your shopping center with many different restaurants both vegetarian and non-vegetarian, both North Indian and South Indian. Ashoka the Great, Madras Cafe, India Princess and Surati Farsan Mart. Whenever I need my Indian food fix, this is where I come. You added not one, not two, but three Indian grocery stores so I can pick up my spices, atta flour, lentils, tea and Indian veggies and make Indian food whenever I want. You have cool stores like; a sari shop filled with the brilliant reds, oranges, golds and aquas of India, an Indian video store where you can rent or buy the latest Bollywood movie and a yoga center for inner peace. You even added a Hindu temple for those that are devotional or would like to perform puja. Little India Center, you though of everything, but where are the masses of autorickshaws, the pollution, the packs of feral dogs and the street urchins? That would make it REALLY authentic. Think about it. Achcha din lo! (Have a nice day!)

SMALL FARMERS MARKET (4 stars)…read more It's convenient, right off the freeway. But I trek all this way to get THREE SONS farm egg because this is the most south they post up at farmers markets.

Whether it's taking your date out for a Christmas…read morestroll or an evening out with your kids, this neighborhood is bound to put a smile on your face. Most of the houses in this community participate in the annual tradition of putting up beautiful lights and holiday decorations for all to enjoy during the month of December. There's about 4 blocks of houses to view. You can walk on the sidewalk or drive through in your car. The lights are supposed to be on between 5-10pm daily. Some tips: - it gets very busy. I recommend you come right when it starts at 430-5pm. By 530pm, the streets are already packed with cars and people walking around. - when it's busy, it's really hard to navigate with a stroller. I recommend you leave those in the car. - dress warmly and wear comfortable shoes to walk in. - be prepared for lots of traffic going in and out so plan accordingly. The best part is that IT'S FREE!!
