Came here for breakfast, delicious food, servings were perfect, great sitting in the patio, I'll be sure to go there again!

Bright open airy cafe with a surfer vibe in the heart of Carlsbad Village. Food and drink choices are creative and delicious! Delighted to find Cafe Topes sources from some of our favorite local establishments (Prager Bros bread for toast so good. Seaside market tri tip oh wow you must try anything with this in it or on it I can’t even describe the flavor and deliciousness of this famous “Cardiff Crack”! Service with a smile was friendly, efficient and fun. We hardly sat down and already our coffee drinks were arriving. Delicious rich strong smooth and beautiful coffees! Food was well prepared and all ingredients were fresh and of the highest quality. I had veggie scramble and was surprised to find so many types of veg included, even green beans and asparagus. Absolutely delicious. Nothing over salted or greasy. My husband said his sausage breakfast burrito (with house made chips was the best breakfast burrito he’s ever had! We are excited about returning soon to try anything/everything else on the menu, especially the cinnamon rolls.We visited mid week, mid day, so no problem finding street parking and no line to order at the counter. Weekends you may have to be patient. It’s worth it!? PS dog and kid friendly. Inside or out it’s spacious. Front tables are along the sidewalk, side of building is fairly large patio with umbrellas enclosed with a fence.5/16/24 and we are back again! Same amazing friendly welcoming service. Coffee drinks and food both come out really fast. Hubby said his mushroom cheeseburger was really good on par with what he makes at home. Not sure he’s ever said that about a restaurant burger! I had The 222 with French toast (great crisp on outside, custard creamy inside. Amazing . Sub’d avocado for the meat. Eggs perfectly cooked, fluffy and light not dry. Fruit on top was actually ripe and delicious.Another exceptional experience. We will definitely be back again to try more!??

Come here weekly for their latte and breakfast. Good coffee..great service. Like the variety of breakfast dishes they have. We've seen this place transformed from an old antique store to a bustling neighborhood cafe.

Excellent food, coffee and service. Gluten-free options available.
