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.

This was a great place for breakfast and lunch. My husband ordered the Carlsbad Benedicts Eggs and said it was great with coffee. I had the Philly Steak Sandwich which was good but need more steak and grill onions. The Garden Salad with the rasberry vinaigrette dressing which was very good. We would recommend this place

Food was no freshly cooked. Doesn’t represented the 4.6. Egg omelette saw microwaved bacon was old. Waste of a good opportunity to eat good food while in Carlsbad

Been coming here every weekend for well over 12 years now. Guess it's time for a review? Food rocks. Coffee is THE best. With Better Buzz having opened recently- this place still absolutely ROCKS. Waaay better coffee and services offered. The food... OmgEEE, the food... Whether you want a muffin, or a burger, a burrito, this place even has a variety of breakfast plates and different pancakes. Perfect place for out of towners and townee's alike. I've actually ran into a family over the years who come out to Carlsbad to vacation every year a few times. One word: Enjoy!!

Great selection of pastries and breakfast, food was prepared quickly and was very tasty. I do wish they had a better standard of offering salt/pepper/hot sauce as it was a little bit difficult to find and grab some for our table. Overall very relaxing spotfor studying or a quick bite. Tables were not all clean or bussed and definitely needed to be wiped down more.

Nice little cafe w outdoor seating only, which is what I was looking for. Kids were happy with their stuffed French toast. The acai bowl was okay.
