Feedback
Nestled in Carlsbad, Cafe Elysa offers a charming atmosphere, particularly with its inviting outdoor seating. Patrons have enjoyed standout dishes like French toast and Carlsbad Benedicts, praising the friendly staff and quick service. However, not all experiences have been positive, with reports of undercooked waffles, bland coffee, and issues of hygiene that ultimately impacted customers' enjoyment. While many appreciate the vibrant location near the beach, concerns about inconsistent food quality and less-than-stellar customer service reinforce the need for improvement. Overall, Cafe Elysa may deserve a visit, but with caution.
We stopped by for breakfast. We had the ham and spinach quiche, an oat latte, and a lavender honey latte. The portion size is crazy big for the quiches, and the fruits are fresh. The quiches were not my favorite. The services were excellent. The latte came quickly. The quiches came warm and cheesy.
Cafe Elysa, driving south for 4 hours, nice stop for breakfast. Friendly service, but definitely felt like we were known visitors. But of course we asked lots of questions and took our time ordering. There is only outside seating and it was a bit chilly (for a guy visiting from Texas). Thee was a nice fire we stayed warm by. The coffee selection was small, but the Milky Way was amazing. I would stop again if ever in the area!
A good establishment, but there are some nuances. When I ordered the Belgian waffles, I expected well-cooked Belgian waffles and well done. However, these waffles were undercooked and half-raw inside. Otherwise, everything was quite ordinary and without any frills.
A place with a line of locals outside gives good indication that food is good inside. The ultimate breakfast sandwich was good, but challenging to eat. I would not get that again. The quiche slice was generous. Hash browns are perfect. Columbian coffee,black, I rate a 7. I would eat there again
The perfect traditional breakfast spot with hot, fresh, and large portion sizes. Excellent variety of meals from breakfast to lunch and pastries and coffees.
