Let me start off by saying place is adorable. This is just a review for the to-go-box of 4 s'mores…read morefor $20. Absolutely not worth it. The kit comes with 4 small size regular marshmallows (nothing home made) and 4 TINY pieces of chocolate that wouldn't even cover one s'more. It's all Graham cracker one marshmallow and a smidge of chocolate. See photos. Yes they include a tiny bit of caramel sauce and peanut butter sauce on the side, but I'm sorry, these don't even make complete s'mores. More expensive ingredients...ok. But not including enough to make an ok s'more is odd. The Graham crackers are also run of the mill. Maybe try the s'mores made there? A take home kit your better off getting a bag of large marshmallows, higher end grahams and a nice block of fancier chocolate for $20. I have ZERO problem spending premiums on food and good ingredients...but this kit is a rip off do not do it.

Was walking through the Shoppes at Carlsbad when I noticed this store in the corner, right across…read morefrom the children's play area on the 1st floor. I'm not really a s'mores person, but wanted to check it out since it was new. The owner (I presume) said they've been open for about 3 months now. Décor was cute inside. They have kits you can purchase or you can order individual s'mores. They have a vegan option too, so you'll have plenty to choose from. Good service. Small s'mores, but I guess the vegan and organic ingredients make them a bit on the pricier side ($7-8/s'more). Not complaining, just thought they would be a bit bigger. But I guess I don't need the extra spike in blood sugar anyway, so it's all good. The Classic was good. I ordered mine with oat milk chocolate. This place is still new, so hope folks check it out. It reminded me of a s'mores shop in Portland, Oregon.

Overall I'd give this place another shot to try some other menu items but we were really only impressed with the chimichurri sandwich. The relish, bell peppers and all the fixings were amazing!!

If you haven't discovered Savory Farms Gourmet Market in Carlsbad yet, consider this your sign to…read morestop what you're doing and go. This place has quietly become one of my favorite spots in the area, and after my most recent visit, I felt compelled to share why it deserves every bit of praise it gets. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a team that genuinely loves what they do. The staff here isn't just friendly -- they're knowledgeable in a way that's increasingly rare. Whether you're asking about the best cut of meat for a weekend dinner party, looking for a wine pairing recommendation, or just curious about an ingredient you've never cooked with before, they'll give you a real, thoughtful answer. No blank stares, no vague suggestions -- just honest, enthusiastic guidance from people who clearly take pride in what they sell. It feels less like shopping and more like getting advice from a friend who happens to be a culinary expert. The selection? Where do I even begin? The wine wall alone is worth the trip. It's an impressive, carefully curated collection that spans a wide range of regions, varietals, and price points -- approachable enough for casual drinkers but deep enough to excite serious enthusiasts. Browsing it feels like a palette adventure . Then there are the frozen meats, which are genuinely outstanding. The quality and variety on offer rivals what you'd find at a high-end butcher, with options that make it easy to elevate any meal at home. It's the kind of selection that has you rethinking your entire weekly dinner plan the moment you start browsing. Bison steaks? Duck sausage? Beyond those standouts, the broader selection throughout the market reflects a real attention to detail -- artisan products, specialty pantry items, and fresh finds that you simply won't stumble across at a conventional grocery store. Here's the part that really seals the deal: for the quality and curation on offer, the prices are refreshingly fair. Gourmet markets can sometimes feel like a luxury you have to budget for, but Savory Farms manages to strike a balance that makes shopping there feel like a smart choice, not an indulgence. You walk out feeling like you got great value -- and great ingredients. Bottom line: Savory Farms Gourmet Market is the kind of local gem that makes you grateful to live in or visit Carlsbad. Exceptional staff, a remarkable selection, and prices that won't give you sticker shock -- it checks every box. Whether you're stocking up for a special occasion or just want to make a Tuesday dinner feel a little more special, this is the place to go. Highly, highly recommend.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I realized that Grubhub/Doordash doesn't include their wine and gift basket sets. Jason was able to help me order what we wanted, include a note, and do a local delivery (local delivery fee $30) .

I'm happy we were able to support a local business and they were so accommodating. Will happily order from them again. Thanks again, Jason!

Unfortunately we live in Carlsbad so when Barons opens, LA will be a distant memory. Good place to shop for organic and fresh food. I will say one more time the produce is very fresh.

I am not sure what I was expecting (maybe like a grocery store refrigerated and freezer section,) but I was surprised at how it was laid out. It was three aisles of the lower banks of freezers, with full wall freezer along two walls, and a few dry goods which makes sense because everything that they have is frozen at ideally the peak of freshness. It was very clean, looked a bit futuristic and was well coded. With different color signage to indicate where the poultry, beef, pork, seafood and prepared foods were. Easy to head to the section you were looking for. We looked around the store a lot and the folks who work there were very attentive. They asked us a number of times if we needed any help, answered any questions that we had, and even gave us some suggestions and background on certain cuts. We ended up going with some picanha, a couple other types of steaks, and a couple options of seafood. All the pricing was all very reasonable and now we have a fully stocked freezer.
