I ran in the other day because I had forgotten my earrings before going out for dinner and I felt a little naked on my earlobes so I grabbed a cute pair.

I buy the bulk of my jeans here and have gotten great sweaters, jackets and dresses. The clothes are nicely organized and they only buy/sell things in good shape.

I personally LOVE that everything is organized by color!

They have lots of summer clothing, dresses, skirts, shirts, some men's stuff. Didn't even know they had a back patio until I saw the photos on this site. Will have to try it. The shop is really small and if there are more than 5 people inside it's hard to move around., But I found a great pastel, tie-dyed maxi skirt for $28 and grabbed it. Lots of tshirts here too. If you forgot all your vacation clothes at home, you could re-do your wardrobe in this store.

Municipal Coffee has officially become our go-to spot! It's tucked just inside of Marky Mark's…read moreMunicipal Athletic-wear store just off Coast Highway in O-side. It's truly the kind of place you find once and then keep coming back to. The vanilla lattes are beautifully crafted; smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced without being overly sweet. And then there's Camden... he completely elevates the experience. You can tell he genuinely cares about the craft. From serving espresso in a ceramic cup to walking you through the tradition of pairing it with sparkling water (very European, very cool), it turns a simple coffee run into something memorable. And the brownie... the brownie... wow. Warmed to perfection with thick walnuts and enjoyed out on the patio, it's dangerously good. Like, "we came for coffee and accidentally had a whole moment" kind of good. If you're anywhere near Coast Highway, don't miss this spot, especially if you're here for the café experience.

Absolutely LOVE this place!…read more I first discovered Municipal last year after realizing one of the owners is Mark Wahlberg and as a longtime fan, I had to check it out. First off, having Urth Caffé inside the store is such a game changer. The coffee is incredible, and the whole setup is just next level. It's not your typical cramped coffee shop. There's actually space to sit, work, and enjoy your time without feeling rushed or squeezed in. The vibe here is unmatched. It's become one of those spots where you can get work done, meet up with people, or just hang out. I've even found myself regularly connecting with others who now use this as their go-to morning coffee spot. And the people? Top tier. Kamden, the GM of the coffee shop, is one of the most welcoming and positive people you'll meet. He genuinely makes your experience fun and memorable every single time. On top of that, the apparel is seriously impressive. Municipal is putting out gear that absolutely rivals anything else on the market. The quality is outstanding, and their shoes? Unreal. I wear them daily! They're that comfortable and versatile. If you're anywhere near South Oceanside off PCH, you HAVE to check this place out. Coffee, workspace, community, and top-tier apparel all in one spot. It doesn't get much better than this!

As a local, I really want to support businesses that add something positive to Carlsbad Village…read more Unfortunately, after an extremely disappointing customer service experience with Megan, the General Manager overseeing this and their affiliated stores, I won't be supporting this business. Carlsbad Village is special because of the many independent businesses that work incredibly hard to create a unique, welcoming community and represent our city well. As this group continues opening and operating more storefronts throughout the Village, I think the standard of customer service should match the privilege of being part of that community. My experience with their management unfortunately did not reflect that at all. There are too many wonderful local businesses in the Village that genuinely value their customers, and those are the ones I'll choose to support.

We saw a big lineup of men's and women's clothes including tank tops, sweatpants, shirts, hoodies, leggings, cropped shirts and hats. Souvenirs are everywhere- stickers, mugs, phone cases, postcards, and more. The store is very well organized, super neat and enjoyable to just browse around in. Our contact person, Babek, was very helpful when we were trying to figure out how to disengage the rope bracelets we liked from their wood column of a stand. We picked up two postcards and two bracelets for the grand kids and a gorgeous Carlsbad vinyl sticker for our car for just $16.15..
