    My Granddaughters love the classic chicken pot pie.... They say the very BEST!! They tried the butter chicken it is not their favorite Parking can be challenging...

    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!

    Classic Chicken Pot Pie

    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.

    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.

    Apple pie slice with whipped cream

    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 :)

    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.

    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!!!

    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.

    Biggie!!!

    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!!!

    (D) Classic Chicken Pot Pie , (D) Veggie Pot Pie (Veg)
    Joriene M.

    Classic Chicken ($12) - This felt like a comforting, homemade meal. The buttery, flaky crust was the star--I'd love the recipe for this so I can replicate it at home. Salted Caramel Apple Crumble ($7) - This was undoubtedly their best pie. They nailed their savory pies but blew me away with their sweet ones. The highlight was their salted caramel filling. This is a must try item here! Pumpkin Cream Cheese ($7) - This was an elevated pumpkin pie as you could taste more spices than a traditional one would have. My favorite component was the dollops of cream cheese--they achieved a great texture and flavor with them. The pepita was also a nice touch!

    Cute boxes and carrying case

    After a long afternoon and creating upon supper time I decided to drive a few blocks from where I had an appointment to Pop Pie. Pop Pie has been on my radar for far too long for me to just now experience the goodness. The tiny but mighty shop is located in Carlsbad Village by Revolution Roasters, Stella Jean's Ice Cream and Shoots Fish. I placed my order online while I walked around the patio. The gal in the shop was really sweet and helpful. She answered questions and gave me some suggestions. I came home with the cute box of dinner which was still piping hot when I opened it up to eat. Love this place! Be back soon.

    Salted Caramel Crumble Apple Pie...

There is chicken fried steak on the menu and that is one of my weaknesses. There version is tasty. It's not the best I have had, but I would get it again. This last visit I noticed they had machaca on the menu. I was able to order it, and I will not be ordering chicken fried steak anymore! The eggs and beef were perfectly mixed together...and, with the added onions and tomatoes, it was very delicious. I chose to order the dish without the peppers, and it was perfect for me. Mix in the spanish rice and the beans....and it makes for a tasty bite to wrap in your provided tortillas. The plate also comes with pico...but it doesnt even need it. Yes, as you proabably have guessed, this is a non spicy version of machaca, but it is still very flavorful and yummy. This may not be the most authentic dish in South County, but it was yummy and comforting. I will be back for more Machaca!!

Beach Break Café totally nails the Oceanside beach vibe. Laid-back, minutes from the water, with genuinely great service. Then there's the food. I was hanging 10 on a fluffy omelette stuffed with tender shrimp, scallops, creamy avocado, and melted cheese. Every bite was rich, fresh, and ridiculously good. Not to mention the side potato pancake, a meal in itself! And the pancakes? Big, pillowy, melt-in-your-mouth fluffy. The French toast was golden on the outside, soft and almost custardy in the middle. Basically, breakfast had no business being this good. After 5/6 years between visits, I think I waited long enough. This is definitely a wave I'd ride again!

It's such a fantastic, family-friendly location with a lively atmosphere and great local energy. The service was wonderfully attentive and made us feel right at home. For my main meal, I went with a veggie omelet and added hot links. I initially thought adding the hot links might be a bit too much, but it turned out to be the perfect combination! Next time, I'll just make a mental note to ask for no mushrooms, and the tomatoes were a bit heavy for my preference, but overall it was delicious. I also grabbed a side of bacon, which was cooked just right. Now for the highlight of the meal: the omelet usually comes with a side of toast, and I was torn between that and their famous coffee cake. I originally ordered the toast, but as soon as our server stepped away, I had a change of heart and asked to swap it for the coffee cake. I am so glad I did! It came out with an amazing warm crust, wonderful texture, and delicious frosting. If you aren't a big fan of heavy sweets, the frosting might be a little rich, but for a treat, it was incredible! Tips: When you pull up and park, keep in mind that the main entrance isn't right where you park--it's actually located on the other side near the street light corner. If you're debating between toast or the coffee cake, go for the coffee cake! You can always ask for the frosting on the side if you prefer it a bit less sweet.

    Fun Fact: "Manna" means an unexpected blessing, especially in a time of need! Atelier Manna was…read morecreated by Michelin-rated Chef Andrew Bachelier and his wife Larah as a creative workshop where food, art, wellness and community all come together. - Located in Leucadia, Atelier Manna is definitely not your typical brunch spot. It feels part restaurant, part art studio, part wellness experiment, and I mean that in the best way. The space is intimate and eclectic, with cookbooks, ceramics, artwork, salvaged materials and little pieces collected from the owners' travels throughout the space. You can tell there was a lot of thought put into making it feel personal rather than overly polished. Parking is do-able across the street by train , or on the street or surrounding neighborhoods. Best time to come when its not busy is W or TH morning! And then there's the food. We started with the Turkish eggs, soft poached eggs sitting over herbed yogurt, chili garlic butter and herbs with toast. The combination of the cool, tangy yogurt with the garlicky, slightly spicy butter was SO good. The toast is basically mandatory because you're going to want to swipe up every last bit of that sauce. P.S. dish comes with two eggs but you can order an extra egg if you have more people. The steak & tortilla was another standout. Snake River Farms zabuton steak with Spanish tortilla, black garlic romesco and Jimmy Nardello peppers. The steak was tender and cooked beautifully, but what really made the dish for me was the black garlic romesco. Rich, savory and slightly sweet, it tied everything together. And then came the torrija, Spanish-style French toast. This is not your basic brunch French toast. It's made with thick-cut sourdough, saffron vanilla, peach leaf oil, stone fruit and whipped labneh. The outside had that delicious caramelized/crispy texture while the inside was soft and custardy. The labneh was also such a good addition because it gave the dish a little tang to balance out the sweetness. Definitely a dish I'd order again. But we can't forget the drinks because Atelier Manna takes their non-alcoholic beverage program VERY seriously. Their "vitality tonics" are basically zero-proof cocktails with a wellness twist, and they are way more interesting than your standard juice or mocktail. I got the Mentawai: coconut, cold-infused green tea, lime leaf, pandan and astragalus, force carbonated. Light, refreshing and slightly tropical with enough acidity to keep it from tasting like straight coconut water. My friend got the Goldenrod, made with clarified cucumber, turmeric, honey and long pepper. Very refreshing and earthy with a little sweetness. Another friend went with the cold brew, which was smooth and fruity with a creamy body. I really appreciated that the drinks weren't just an afterthought. They actually felt like part of the experience. Overall, Atelier Manna is one of those places where you can tell the people behind it genuinely care about the details. The menu is creative without feeling like it's trying too hard, the space is unique and inviting, and the food manages to be indulgent while still incorporating a lot of fresh, thoughtful ingredients. Definitely a brunch spot worth the drive up to Leucadia, especially if you want something a little different from the usual eggs + mimosa situation.

My friend ordered the French toast and he said it was good, though he found the outside a bit too tough (like the outside of a well baked cinnamon roll). This would be a great place to do shared plates and we'll be back again!
