    Classic chicken pot pie - very good! Yummy!
    Vivian H.

    Ive been talking about pot pies with a friend for awhile now and when I found these places, I knew I would be visiting. I was on my way back from LA and stopped in a few days ago. Staff very helpful here. I ordered a classic chicken pot pie and a slice of caramel apple pie to go. Both items well made and delicious! A bit pricier than say getting your food from the grocery store but this is also a food business. The little shops where Pop Pie is located is a really nice environment and was nice to come here for a bit and just relax in the shared outdoor space. Parking is tight here, I circled twice before finding a spot. I'd definitely come back again!

    strawberry rhubarb pie (vegan!)

    I had the most delicious slice strawberry rhubarb pie from here! They offered to warm it up for me in store but it wasn't quite warm enough so I took it home and put it in the microwave for another minute and it was HEAVENLY. Texture and flavor of both the filling and the crust were amazing. This place is fairly vegan friendly, the strawberry rhubarb was the only vegan sweet pie option but they also had a vegan savory pie that sounded excellent as well.

    Wonderful pies! I love Pop Pie and this one is the third one I've checked out since the original one in University Heights a awhile back and I frequent the PB location and have gone to this Carlsbad one a few times. Their classic chicken pie I had on my most recent trip is excellent and very scrumptious from inside fillings to the outside. I also l love their guava cream cheese hand pies, such a sweet treat! Service is great and the outside has a relaxing atmosphere with a nice spacious area to enjoy the savory and sweet treats from Pop Pie.

    So yummy! I tired the green hog & cheese pot pie & it was amazing so amazing I forgot take a picture because I couldn't stop eating it haha it was like green chile braised beef with a slice of jack cheese and the crust on the pie was delish! I also tried a slice of the apple pie which was also really good I would have enjoyed it better if it were also warm like the pot pie but overall it was all so good I'll be back to try more items!

    As a vegetarian, I almost always go for the roasted veggie with yellow curry, it's my go-to savory option. We ordered two and shared them between the four of us, but I barely got much since I'm a slow eater and everyone else finished it so fast We also tried the guava cream cheese, which was great. I'm not big on sweets, but this one was perfect to share because it's definitely too much for me to finish on my own unless I took it to go. The whole area is really nice too, it's a shared open space with Roosevelt Roasters, Stella, and a brewery, with lots of tables under the trees. There's a great mix of sun and shade, and it's very family-friendly, which makes the vibe even better. We were about the order the mashed potato side but the server warned us that it contains meat which we truly appreciated :)

    Arriving right before closing, I was looking for a light dinner to satisfy my hunger. When searching on Yelp, up popped Pop Pie!!! Perfect!!! My brain popped up a sensory memory recalling visiting the Normal Heights (?) location having tried the Steak 'N Ale Pie and then my mouth started to water. Drove a little faster and trusted my Maps for the Fastest Direction possible. Sure enough, with 16 minutes to closing, we immediately pulled into the parking lot and there popped up in my view was Pop Pie!!! Entering into the bright and warm room, I was greeted by a kind young lady, dressed warmly with a warm smile and the buttery aroma of pies baking (or being kept warm) that entered into my olfactory senses. My eyes glanced into the warming case to see that there was a limited amount of pies available. I chose the classic chicken pie and the guava cream cheese hand pie (recommended by the helpful pie person) and I decided to bring my treasures back to my hotel to enjoy!!! When I got back to the hotel, the classic chicken pie was still hot. Using my surgical skills, I gingerly cut open and removed the flaky and buttery pie crust to reveal the piping hot goodness inside. The gravy was well seasoned as well as the generous cuts of chicken. The crust was perfectly baked. The Pop Pie People have perfected the savory pie recipe!!! The guava cream cheese hand pie was also delicious. The cream cheese to guava filling was perfect, making the hand pie perfectly sweet. The quaint village mall, perfectly designed with the Carlsbad flair, is where the Pop Pie resides with other eating establishments as well. There's a nice outdoor courtyard with tables and chairs where you can enjoy your meal. Must be pet friendly because there was a sign kindly asking that dogs not to water the plant boxes. At night, patio lights softly illuminates the courtyard creating a romantic atmosphere for friends and families to enjoy. Another memorable meal from the Pop Pie People!!!

    Tasty Classic Chicken Pot Pie

    I really like this little place! It's one of the restaurants located in an outdoor food court with tables in the middle of a small courtyard. Pop Pie's is essentially a shack. Walk in, place your order, and within a few minutes, your pies and sides are ready. Take them to go, or dine in the courtyard. I did both. I've already been here twice and ordered: Classic Chicken Pie $12.50 Chicken breast/thigh meat, vegetables, pearl onions, creamy herb sauce, in a all-butter crust. Steak & Ale Pie $13 A British style pie made of slow-braised beef, barley, mushrooms, carrots, dark ale gravy, all in a all-butter crust. Mashed Potatoes & Gravy Side $4 Skin-on red potatoes, crema, cracked black pepper, sea salt, chicken gravy. Mushroom & Leek Quiche $8.50 Roasted oyster mushrooms, citrus leeks, sun-dried tomatoes, farm eggs, crème fraiche, in an all-butter crust. Creamed Corn Side $4 Corn, cream cheese reduction, dash of salt & pepper. I enjoyed both the Chicken Pot Pie (great consistency and flavor) and the Steak & Ale Pie (large chucks of meat and a savory sauce). The Mushroom Quiche was also tasty. The Creamed Corn was a hit. Tips and Comments: They offer two sizes of sides. They were out of the Green Hog & Cheese Pie. A diner commented the mushroom quiche was a different recipe than the first time she tried it and that they use a lot of pepper in their dishes.

    Savory pies

    I've been wanting to try this place for a while and I finally got around to it. There is a good amount of parking nearby both along the street and the parking lot but it will fill up pretty quickly depending on the time of day that you arrive. The shop is nestled in a little Courtyard with a bunch of seating and other restaurants I ended up trying the guava hand pie, the steak and ale pie, and the chicken tikka masala, which is a seasonal flavor. The savory pies were so delicious 10/10 would recommend them either eating them fresh or heating them up at home. The guava hand pie was kind of disappointing it was just okay tasting I wouldn't recommend it. The lady working was nice and with all the seating outside it's a nice place to hang out at.

    Cute location with outdoor seating in Carlsbad. Everything was in stock even Saturday evening being busy. The chicken pot pie was amazing !!! Definitely coming back for it !! The apple pie was good!! Don't love the cornmeal peach but coming back to try the other pies definitely!! Cool addition of California canned soda ! Girls working were very nice!!

    Biggie!!!
    Paul N.

    Biggie Approved! I always wanted to try this place! Located in Carlsbad Village Pop Pie was pretty amazing! What prompted us to the here was their Red Chile Pork pie- really good flavor and not overly spicy which would have been ok with me. The crust was warm, flakey and buttery, so good!!! We also tried the chicken pop pie with a side of mash potatoes- both very good and the gravy was over the top!!!

    Where's the sauce?!
    Diana C.

    The crust is flakey and the inside of the chicken pie is good - but way too dry. You need more sauce! I guess that's why their outside water container was empty. I'm surprised at all the 5 star reviews from Elites. My friend had the beef one and it was even drier than mine! I would pass.

    Glad we randomly stopped by this pie shop. The chicken pot pie is a must try. The blueberry pie slice was a hit with my son so much so, he had to get another slice. What's great about this place is there's outdoor seating for all the restaurants that are a part of the outdoor food hall. So you can have your pie but also have other food as well.

    Came in early last week with my sister hoping to snag the Tinola Pie collab with Chef Tara, but it sold out in just 30 minutes! Bummed we missed it, but honestly the yellow curry pie more than made up for it. The filling was incredible and the pie dough itself was chef's kiss. We demolished ours in minutes and I ended up grabbing some to go on the way out. Pop Pie is a small booth but don't let that fool you. There's plenty of outdoor seating to kick back and enjoy that classic sunny California weather. The staff were super friendly and there was zero wait, which was a nice surprise. Already thinking about my next visit and hoping the Tinola Pie makes a return. So many pies to try, so little time! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

However, my friends from North County highly recommended this establishment and kindly invited me to join them. The outdoor seating is spacious and inviting, creating a pleasant atmosphere. The friendly service adds to the overall experience. Initially, I was contemplating getting a coffee, but my friend insisted on trying the matcha. And let me tell you, you won't regret it. As I mentioned earlier, I'm not usually a fan of matcha, and I often end up regretting it and discarding it. But this time, I was pleasantly surprised.

This place has such a loyal following that people will happily walk a few blocks just to get their Revo fix. One of my favorite things is their seasonal menu. I've learned to fully embrace each special while it's here because once it's gone, it's gone. Right now, I'm completely obsessed with the Coconut Mango Sticky Rice Matcha. I'm pretty sure the baristas recognize me as "the Sticky Rice Matcha lady" at this point! I'm soaking up every sip while it's in season, and although I'll be sad when it's gone, I know they'll surprise me with something amazing next season. Their food is just as impressive. The toast is delicious, they use Prager Brothers bread, organic avocado, and fresh tomatoes, and you can really taste the difference that quality ingredients make. It's refreshing to find a café that clearly cares about food integrity. Another huge bonus for me is that they offer almond milk. So many coffee shops default to oat milk, but I appreciate having another option that fits my preferences. The only downside is the parking. My strategy is simple: go early if you can. Once it gets busy, finding a spot can be an adventure. But even with that minor inconvenience, Revolution Roasters is absolutely worth the trip. Incredible coffee, thoughtful seasonal drinks, quality ingredients, and a team that clearly cares about what they serve. Easy five stars.

Mike and the entire team at Dreamwave are doing such an incredible job of making the experience worth every penny. The quality of the coffee, the work they do, and the service they provide is truly top tier. While they do have a lot of fun flavors, this is not the kind of place that drowns the palate with sweetness. They expertly balance the ratio of syrup, milk, and espresso to provide the best outcome. The nuttiness of their roast really shines, and they're always happy to adjust the sweetness if you need them to. Personally, I love the lower sweetness level being the default. These guys know what they're doing! We've been visiting for the past week and have stopped through Dreamwave four times this week. While I'm always in the need of a coffee fix, we've gone out of our way to visit multiple times because the people have been so beyond kind. We've sampled most of the house flavors and I can confidently say they have all been delicious. This would definitely be my go-to shop if I lived nearby.

We ordered the Smoked Salmon Tartine, and it was SO good -- farmer's cheese, capers, pickled onion and dill on their sourdough. Honestly, the food was top tier. Everything coming out of the kitchen looked amazing, and after trying the bread we actually ended up buying some to take home! For drinks, we had a matcha latte with oat milk and the canned nitro cold brew. Just a heads-up for my fellow coffee people: the cold brew isn't made in-house, but that didn't stop it from being really good! We liked the coffee so much that we actually went over to the local coffee shop that supplies their beans afterward and bought some beans to take home. And definitely don't skip the bakery. The chocolate chip cookie was delicious, and the chocolate croissant had that super crispy, crackly exterior. I personally would have loved a little more filling to make it slightly more moist, but that's completely subjective -- if you love a crispier croissant, you'll probably LOVE it. The atmosphere might have been my favorite part. It's beautiful, calm, inviting and just has that perfect Carlsbad coastal café vibe. Between the food, fresh bread, pastries and atmosphere, this is absolutely somewhere I'd come back to whenever we're in the area. Definitely worth a stop -- and come hungry because everything coming out of that kitchen looks delicious!
