    What a gem inside a parking lot. Love the different syrup options. I had to try the ginger and fig with my hot latte. Inside has a vintage feel with items to purchase not coffee related. It's a great vibe with great tasting coffee and quick service.

    Listen. If I don't have to trust an old, weathered sign that directs me down an alley, past a closed rub & tug massage parlor, around a port-o-potty and into a parking lot before the coffee shop itself is unveiled, then I don't want coffee. Interim is a tiny but cozy, half-hidden caffeine oasis in Carlsbad Village with top notch bean water and assorted morning bites. You can't go wrong. Might make a wrong turn though.

    Cute decor hanging outside

    Super tiny spot. Nice that it had it's own parking lot. Can't fit that many people inside, you'll line up and place your order and get it before leaving. Got an iced americano and a latte for a little walk on the beach. Overall, it was alright.

    Front walk up very cute and inviting.

    Excellent coffee. Just a walk up coffee shop with a few table outside. Very friendly staff and convenient small shop near the boardwalk. Enjoyed a vanilla latte and a white top. If you just want a coffee to go this is the place.

    Perfect coffee spot before going out to the beach. I ordered a hot Mocha. Was very delicious. The owner was super friendly. They make their own coffee and Syrup along with other things.

    One of the best lattes i've had in awhile! This place is a total gem and you probably wouldn't catch it unless you were looking for it. It's a tiny shop that can't fit more than 2-3 people. Really great medium roast coffee and love how walkable it is to the beach. It's in the same back parking lot as Knockout pizza/coldstone/etc. Make your way to this coffee shop if you get a chance!

    Gorgeous plants in vintage tins and pottery create a cheerful entrance.

    Hands down, best coffee in Carlsbad. We've sipped our way around Carlsbad this weekend. Smooth, flavorful cappuccino with whole milk. The interior of this place is charming with vintage pictures, tins, cameras and other cool items for sale or just admiration.

    Cute little inconspicuous coffee shop located in the parking lot right off the 101 in carlsbad village. Pretty much a retro vibe with friendly service and some pretty solid brew. There's a ton of amazing coffee shops in the area, I would put this on the list if you're looking for something super localish with a bit less foot traffic.

    Great coffee! Cozy and in the cut, with a fun kitschy ambiance to enjoy while waiting for your order. We visited on a quiet weekday morning, and it was the perfect stop to grab an excellent coffee on the way to the water. There's tables outside in the parking lot, so there's a little space to sit and enjoy your order as well.

    I love finding local coffee shops while traveling. This is a great place with great coffee, service and some funky things inside to see. I enjoyed my coffee on the relaxing patio.

    Just found this hidden treasure! Feels like stepping into a piece of local history -- from the classic Dodge van out front, to the nostalgia of surfboards on the patio, to the old-school skateboard memorabilia inside. The owner/operator was really chill, and the vibes were warm and neighborly in every detail. I had a cortado and my girlfriend had a cappuccino -- both had a rich aroma, silky smooth texture, and just the right kick of caffeine. We'll definitely be back!

Entering: Never greeted let alone not acknowledged until it became barely. As someone who has worked all types of jobs, going as far back as when I was a teen myself - this is important. The two youngest ladies, at the register, were deep in their gossip that I doubt they noticed we walked in; only customers. I tried to get their attention but to no avail until I walked over and stood in front on them where their conversation had to be cut short. One of the young girls look a smidgen annoyed while the other was trying to rush to get my order. Quality of goods: I ordered a chocolate chip cookie, to share later with my girls and orders sometime raspberry for my teen son that he could enjoy later on break. The cookie was huge, yes, but nothing that beats the moist and chewy cookies I make myself at home, which I can't currently do since my kitchen is beinf remodeled. I asked my son on his bougie donut, later in the day, and he did the so-so hand and gave it an ok and dry. At end: we will stick to SK for service and quality.

I did like how fast the service was but with the first sip it felt as if I was drinking a plant , had an odd flavor. The cold foam was also not thick, more of a watery base and didn't take that great.

It was on the warmer side and they didn't have any shaded seats available, but I love the sun and wasn't bothered by this. The servers were very attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and provided too notch customer service. I love when they can speak to the menu and offer suggestions. Me and my friend opted to share a salad and pasta because we weren't super hungry. We ordered the very fren salad and the Malfadine pasta. The salad was fresh, crisp and had a great flavor. The seeds at times felt like I had them all in my teeth, so needed to do a teeth check afterwards! Haha the pasta is made fresh and was light, but so flavorful. We did not leave a morsel on the plate! I only walked through the inside to find a restroom. It looked like they had a lot of seating for larger parties and a private dining room as well. Super clean, simple design, but felt warm. Wish I lived closer to dine here often, but it's definitely a spot to try if you're in town visiting!

For our first appetizer-type courses, we ordered sliced sourdough with butter and roasted cabbage - both great options. The roasted cabbage ended up being my favorite part of the dinner. It was like a Caesar salad on a juicy, tender cabbage spear with a slight char. I felt like I definitely needed to order some bread to try some element of the bakery. We got another taste of the bakery because we also ordered pizza from the kids menu. I snuck a piece and that was great. We ordered two main courses: one pasta dish and the other was a braised rabbit with morels. The pasta dish was fine but my wife and I weren't planning to share it. We had to share it because the rabbit dish took so long that I had to cancel the order. It was unfortunate because I was really looking forward to that. That was one inconvenience. The other hiccup was they didn't have any beer available because of a cooler issue. They had really good beer on the menu too, so finding that out after I ordered was a let down. I entertained ordering wine or a cocktail afterward, but passed. We were sitting by the bar and the cocktails they were making looked really good. With those issues, the manager spoke with us and sent us home with a slice of lemon meringue pie to rectify. We appreciated the gesture and the service we had all night was good. I'm sure this place gets 5/5 stars most nights. It's a super cool place inside and out.

First, couple months ago, I was left waiting for over 30 mins for a breakfast burrito, I thought they were just busy so I gave grace. I went up to ask the status and they told me the cook went to the store to get more tortillas...... didn't bother telling me or informing me. I directly reached out via IG and they gave me a $20 to come back, super nice of them!! Now, fast forward a few months, I had some time to myself this morning and wanted to enjoy coffee and a bagel. (Best sourdough bagels ever) it comes out and the jalapeños are completely blackened on the top like it was burnt to crisp, oh well I moved on and ate half. I began eating the next half and notice that they left the entire piece of paper on the cheese..... so now I'm left wondering did I just eat another piece of paper on the other side and didn't even notice?!! I take it in and tell them. They're super nonchalant about it and ask if I want a refund or another one. They ended up giving me a full refund and said sorry. It just made me feel like this sort of thing happens a lot. I really love this place but I'm really not sure how this keeps happening to me. I just can't do it anymore. Really bummed.
