I came here about 10 minutes before their posted closing time, and the "Open" sign was still on,…read morebut they were already closed. There was no one at the front, and when I asked, the staff said they weren't serving anymore. I mentioned that the sign was still on, and it felt misleading. If you're going to close earlier than 10 PM, it should be updated on the sign or online. It's frustrating to drive out and expect service just to be turned away. Please update your hours so customers aren't misled.

Bad customer service. I came in and started looking at the menu. A treat caught my eye and I…read morestarted asking questions about it, the only answer I got was "it's ice cream" and when I asked again for more detail on what the treat was all I got the same answer "it's ice cream" with a straight face. I understand it's ice cream because I entered an ice cream shop but what was on the menu looked more than a scoop of ice cream. It had what looked like candy and chamoy rim. I felt like she couldn't be bothered to explain the item on the menu with detail. I shut down because I got a little frustrated with the lack of assistance , that's when I flagged down another employe and got the same attitude. I then explained that I was looking for a drink with cucumber bits,chamoy rim and candy but she just said " I don't know" so I just ordered a regular aguas frescas. I felt so underwhelmed. After I ordered and sat down I saw "aguas locas" on the menu and it was what I was describing to the lady helping us. Neither of them could explain the menu, ask what I was looking for or redirect me to something similar. I have never experienced this in any other La Michoacana. I will definitely not be back. I'm all for supporting Michoacanas, I don't mind paying their ridiculous prices but for me BAD customer service is worse than a an overpriced tasteless aguas frescas. Hands down the best one with friendly staff is in Escondido next to North Gate Market.

It was so delicious and the service is great. My friend got regular cookies and cream, and I got rolled Hershey's, which was the perfect amount of chocolate with a chocolate drizzle, pocky sticks and a chunk of Hershey's bar. They pour the cream onto a super cold surface. Mix it up and then roll it. So fresh!

I like Taiyaki ice cream and have come here for years whenever we visit Oceanside. I was just there…read moretonight. My order was taken promptly and the gentleman who took my order had excellent customer service taking my order, then...there was the wait to get my order. There were 3 employees and two were standing around while one worked. A customer who came in after me got his order, and all employees were just standing around. I went to the counter and asked if I had been forgotten. 2 of the employees got to work on my order. The only young woman working there was on her phone and handling food with the same gloves. I said excuse me, to her and pointed out that she had been on her phone and handled food in without getting new gloves. She looked at me and said, "So do you want me to change my gloves?" I replied "yes, it's a sanitation issue. I have worked in the industry and taught restaurant management." She changed gloves, cut off the edges of the Taiyaki waffle she had touched with the other gloves, finished my dish, and slid my finished dish across the counter. She said nothing as she slid the dish of taiyaki towards me, and turned and walked away from the counter. The restaurant had an "A" rating, but the cross contamination issue of handling personal phone and food with the same gloves, is not "A" rating behavior. It was close to closing and I do understand that it was getting late. It is still very disappointing. The restaurant did appear to be clean in the customer area. As I watched all 3 employees, the gentlemen working showed safe and sanitary work behaviors. I hope this cross contamination behavior by the female employee gets corrected.

On Tuesday, May 21,…read more2024 at 7 p.m. , this is my first time ordering at this Gold Coffee Shop from the younger woman who I placed my first order with last night. I ordered the one medium size White Chocolate Mocha Frappuccino with whipped cream and I also ordered one Albacore Tuna Melt that includes Mayonnaise, and mild melted Cheddar Cheese that is toasted in the oven as a Panini. My total cost was $12.00. This Gold Coast Coffee Shop Is located inside the Westfield Shopping Center Mall in the corner on the second floor across from the J. C. Penny's Department Store. When I was walking towards the front entrance to the Gold Coast Coffee Shop last night , I could smell the aroma of a flavored Iced Frappuccino being made in a blender and being served for one of their customers. I received helpful advice on the different kinds of flavored Coffee Drinks, Chai Teas, Coffee Lattes, and different varieties on the Flavored Cold Frappuccinos that were on their menu board last night. The Gold Coast Coffee Shop also serves really delicious pastries I was staring at these pastries in their clear display case last night. I noticed their breakfast pastries were Strawberry Cream Cheese, Blueberry Cream Cheese, Chocolate, Cinnamon with a white cream cheese icing that was drizzled on top on every one if these yummy looking desserts. The younger woman employee told me she has been working for this Gold Coast Coffee Shop for one year now and she does enjoy working for her manager because she is very respectful and will coordinate with her college schedule. I enjoyed my first time experience drinking their really refreshing and very decadent White Chocolate Frappuccino with the added Whipped Cream Topping. And especially trying one of their very popular and New Albacore Tuna Panini Sandwiches. I told the woman employee that I will come back again when I am shopping at this Carlsbad Westfield Shopping Center Mall soon and rider a new flavor. I received excellent customer service and really delicious flavored FrappuccinoCoffee. This Frappuccino was lightly sweetened. I highly recommend this Gold Coast Coffee Shop.

The smoothie itself was exactly what you want after a long day or beach session. Fresh, cold, and actually tasted like real fruit, not overly sugary or artificial like a lot of places.

Definitely coming back. If you're in the area and want something refreshing that actually hits, this is the spot.

Regardless of the presentation, I was not a big fan of the taste. There's nothing that really stand out to me. Not even the drinks, they can either be really bland, milky, or sweet. I mean, to each their own right? I decide to follow up with a second visit for a birthday cake to see if the cake would change my mind. Although was still disappointed. I guess this place was just not meant for me. I will say this place is really nice and aesthetic. Visually pretty and clean, I'll give them that. As well as their customer service, they have a couple of staff that are really nice and welcoming. I appreciate the help I received on the two visits I took here.
