    This is what they should look like (FRESH strawberries) not candied or jammed.
    Celly D.

    First & last time, I would give 0 starts if I could, because I got a cup of goo, I ordered the Dubai strawberries. Deserts: Paid 29.00+ for a large cup of goo (garbage) if you charge that much make it good. Also ordered a very small slice of cheesecake. I called in advanced to ask if they offered Dubai chocolate strawberries..... I was assured they did and they were delicious. They are NOT, as they were making the cup of goo, they began layering WATERY STRAWBERRY's that looked jammed. Similar to the ones in certain deserts. I posted a picture of what they are supposed to look like and they did not look or taste anything like it. Service: super nice, young lady was really kind. The only thing I would say they NEED to improve is communicating how it is made. I asked how they made/prepared it, layered it and if the strawberries were fresh. (Fresh is fresh, they are washed cleaned and cut then added to the dish) not cut and added to a bowl of sugar water. (It wasn't and hour in from adding them to the bowl as you can see from the photo. Location: it's a small spot on facing the street, small shack. Order at the window, pick up at the window.

    If you're anywhere near Oceanside and have even the slightest sweet tooth, run (don't walk) to The Strawberry Shack. This place is a strawberry lover's dream. #StrawberryFieldsForever Shack Vibes: 10/10 -The vibe is laid-back and beachy--super Instagrammable with the little shack setup and colorful signage. Many, many strawberry options to fit your palate that you won't want to miss out on. Strawberry Treats: 10/10 -Let's talk about the real star here: the strawberries. I tried the classic strawberry shortcake & strawberry dole whip... I'm still dreaming about them. The shortcake and the strawberries are ridiculously fresh and juicy! The shortcake? Absolute perfection. Fluffy, not overly sweet, and topped with a mountain of fresh whipped cream and sliced strawberries. It somehow manages to be indulgent without feeling too heavy. Bonus points for everything being made fresh right in front of you. The strawberry dole whip is a solid choice when it's a bit warm outside but it was delicious! Must try! Service: 10/10 -The staff was super friendly, too--smiling, helpful, and clearly passionate about their strawberries. Budget Friendly: 10/10 -Prices are reasonable for the quality you're getting, and portions are generous. Definitely a must-visit spot if you're in Oceanside, whether you're a local or just passing through. Overall Rating: 10/10

    It was a nice spring day when we went, but after running around the Flower Fields trying to take pictures of everything, it got hot and we needed a cold and refreshing snack. THE FOODS | Sundaes, chocolate dipped strawberries, and soft serve. We ordered... - Dole Whip | Sweet and tangy pineapple flavored soft serve, piled up high in a small cup. Grateful for the amount of soft serve we received, but there was a slight twinge of anxiety as we raced against time to eat it all before it melted everywhere. THE DRINKS | Shakes, coffee, and bottled water. We ordered... - Strawberry Shake | Your classic strawberry shake with whipped cream on top. The shake is perfectly thick and creamy where you can still drink it through a straw. Deliciously sweet! THE STRAWBERRY SHACK FEELS | The Strawberry Shack is small with one window to order and another window to pick up your food/drink. Plenty of tables with umbrellas are adjacent to the shop. The vibe is casual. THE PARKING SITUATION | Get there early to snag a spot near the entrance of the Flower Fields (Strawberry Shack is located inside). We arrived about 8:30 AM and found a spot basically next to the entrance. Parking is free. WOULD I COME BACK? | Yes, their strawberry shake is really good! The dole whip soft serve is good too, but a little too much and you're better off sharing it.

    Their strawberry shakes are amazing. Very healthy too. It's probably better to skip the chocolate in the shakes. Worth the wait if there's a line but there usually isn't a line on weekdays.

    Go for the Strawberry Shack special THE STRAWBERRY SHAKE SHACK. I came for the strawberry cheese cake but decided to get the special and I must day it was the best decision of my life and I don't make many good ones either haha. Let's get straight to it, the venue is small with no place to dine in or out,it's more of an order your treats and carry on with your business kind of place. There is two tables outside where you can stand and use. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. When it comes to parking you can park on the street or the small shopping center next to it.

    Strawberry shortcake sundae
    Mary R.

    The ice cream was very good although I expected something different! I didn't know it was soft serve . The strawberries were fine but I expected fresher strawberries bigger sliced not in so much sauce! The cake was the cake you can buy in the market and make your own sundae Whipped cream is always good I loved the flower garden that's why I stopped for this treat! It was still good !

    Strawberry shortcake. Shortcake at the bottom covered in fresh strawberries, vanilla ice cream and whipped cream! $13! Highly recommend!

    Strawberry Shortcake was amazing!!! Fresh strawberries, vanilla ice-cream, whipped cream and a shortcake at the bottom! Perfection! $13 and worth it!

    Strawberry Fields Forever a big #shoutout to #TheStrawberryShack for the amazing service and most unforgettable desserts! If you are visiting or live in Carlsbad, PLEASE visit The Strawberry Shack's permanent location in the heart of the Village. Tyler and his team were amazing, in making suggestions to perfecting our selections from their menu. This adorable establishment serves 5 star specialty gourmet desserts at affordable pricing. Every dessert is phenomenal and the list of the yummy yummy delights are wonderfully crafted: Strawberry Shakes & Shortcakes to Chocolate Dipped Strawberries, Homemade Chocolate Covered Strawberry Marshmallows, Homemade Strawberry Pudding, Strawberry Cannoli's, Strawberry Shortcake Gelato along with other Strawberry delights. In these trying times, when most people have some type of a budget, or are without work because of COVID-19 we are all trying to find some type of normality. People (families) are looking for places/locations that respect the value of money without compromising the quality of a product or the quality of service. You will find this at The Strawberry Shack!

    I found the cutest little gem on our way back home for the strawberry cheesecake brownie was very good, and the strawberry sundae was to die for !! 10/10 Not only was it aesthetically pleasing put the customer service was great too!

    Seriously if I was in an electric chair and I got to choose one last desert it would be from the Strawberry shack. It's so good. It reminds me of being home in Ohio. It's also super fast and friendly service.

    Strawberry shake!

My order had not even been started despite them already having the printed order. I had also called about 30 minutes before ordering to verify the ingredients and mentioned I would be coming after a vet appointment across the street. I had my pet with me and still needed to stop at the pharmacy, take her home, and get to class, so I ended up standing outside while keeping my car running with the AC for her while they made an order that was already supposed to be ready. The staff were not rude, but that does not change the poor service. If you provide customers with a pickup time, especially when they arrive after that time, the order should at least be in progress. I hope there is better attention to online orders and more accurate communication about pickup times going forward. As a first time customer, this was an impression I can't forget. I'm not sure if I would come back.

    I was excited to try our RAD juice since an account I follow on Instagram raved about them…read more However, I was disappointed with the overall experience. I ordered the 12oz Oside mix bowl and my mom ordered the 24oz Berry Blast with peanut butter. There were two employees there on the day that we went. I had to tell the person taking our order that we wanted to add peanut butter to the Berry bowl multiple times because he wasnt adding it (I could see it on the screen). My mom and I then sat outside to wait. When our order was ready, my bowl was fine but hers was the wrong size. It was the 16oz and they did not add peanut butter, even though I asked for it multiple times. When I brought it up to the employee, he said it was the 24oz. I told him it wasn't since they have the containers by the register labeled with the size and I could clearly see the second bowl was the wrong size. He finally asked his coworker and she confirmed what I had been saying. He immediately started remaking the second bowl. I understand that there is a learning curve when you're new so I was trying to not be upset about him telling me I was wrong. Anyways, when the second bowl was finally done, we noticed there was barely any fruit and toppings on it. Since I was waiting inside this time, I was able to notice that there were flies all over the place. Especially near the prep area, on the fruit, etc. I would recommend they keep their doors closed to prevent this from happening. Overall, I was not impressed after spending $30 and probably won't be back. I wish them luck and hope they are able to get it together.
