Amazing food made from fresh ingredients. As vegetarians we were very happy to have so many options. We ordered cranberry orange waffle, black bean burger and protein veggie wrap. Everything was so delicious. 😋

Delicious freshly made to order breakfast !! Especially loved the ham and ham omelette. Also my son, Ash customized his breakfast. It was a "waffle Benedict" with soy chorizo and avocado and I think it should be called "Ash's Benedict" 😀

Location and service here was excellent. We sat outside, which is right on the road, but not too loud. Server was fabulous. I had a breakfast burrito and which was huge. I had to save half for later. Good quality. Lots of breakfast potatoes on the side. The group had pancakes and loved them also.

Huge portions for an eclectic menu. Anything from smoothies to corned beef, granola bowls to stuffed French toast. Celine was an amazing server and the atmosphere is chill. A must try if you’re in the area and multiple locations to try

We made the best choice for breakfast, while on our Carlsbad, California vacation - (family friendly)! The space, service, and food were top notch. The chilaquiles were the best I’ve ever had (with green sauce!), and my husband loved the chorizo breakfast burrito.. Check out the adorable kids Mickey Mouse pancake. Our 11 year old said his banana chocolate chip pancakes were the best he has ever had (which says a lot!). The food presentation was quite impressive for a little cafe as well. Our server, Luis, was friendly and great. Very fast service. Outdoor seating available. Don’t think twice - make this a must stop! We will be back! Thanks, Swami’s Cafe Carlsbad.

I’m sincerely sad to be going home from Carlsbad because I can’t eat at Swami’s every day anymore! We tried it on our first day in town and ended up going back for breakfast every morning. We tried several things and everything was amazing. The eggs Benedict is the best breakfast I’ve ever had. Delicious food, beautiful plating, fantastic service, and very reasonably priced. Luis is so friendly and very knowledgeable of the menu. They have gluten free options, too, which was why we tried it in the first place. I can’t wait to return to Carlsbad so I can eat there again!!

Lunch was a great here from start to finish, I got the Buffalo burger with any egg ur choice on style, egg whites for the win, the burger was juicy and amazing first time trying ground Buffalo too. The service was fast and very friendly even though we went during lunch hr there was no wait time at all plenty of open sitting outside and in. Everything tasted fresh. Will be returning. If you have never been here this location is located right of Carlsbad Blvd before the alkaline water fill station. Highly recommend.

The food here is amazing. Our server was very nice, but another staff member, I believe his name was Louis, truly stood out. He had incredible customer service and brought so much energy and positivity. He was just full of life and made the whole experience even better. I was only visiting California and had come the day before, but the food was so good I had to come back again. Everything tasted A1, truly top-tier and full of flavor. The customer service was outstanding. I honestly can’t say enough about how great it was. We had everything we needed, and every question we had was answered. At one point, there were three different staff members helping us to make sure we were taken care of. Overall, an amazing experience from both the food and the service.

We stopped into Swami’s in Carlsbad for brunch and had such a great experience! For food, we ordered the Chicken Teriyaki so good, tender, and flavorful. I also got the Buffalo Burger, but swapped the bacon for an extra egg, which was a perfect choice. Everything tasted fresh and well-prepared. On the drinks side, I tried the iced matcha latte with 2% milk light, refreshing, and just right. I also had a double dirty chai (hot), which was absolutely amazing, my boyfriend even said it tasted like it was made just for me. The bitter but had a slight sweetness to it, exactly how I like it. We sat outdoors since the weather here is so much nicer than back home in AZ and humid TX absolutely perfect for enjoying brunch. Service was quick and friendly, and our server even shared that the restaurant is named after a nearby meditation center, which was such a cool tidbit. The location is great too on a quiet street, just a short walk from the beach and the village center. Relaxed vibe, great food, and friendly service. Definitely a spot we’ll be coming back to!

In the heart of town, a delicious breakfast place with great service! 👍 Lots of seating, inside, outside and on the street/sidewalk. 👍 Extensive menu, everyone can find something. 👍 Several home-made fresh squeezed juices (delicious, albeit expensive). 👍Great service from Luis. Also great buss and host service (did not catch his name). 👍 Appreciate they offer potatoes either hash brown, or whole style and several veg options as well. 👍 Very large portions.

Did online order. Completely missed my coffee order. Acted like they never got it. No syrup with our order, and didn’t give me the coconut I ordered for my French toast. Also no utensils. Completely missed it for our Mother’s Day to go order. Lots of gluten free options but missed it on service. Just realized also that my avocado toast with herbs has no herbs, no microgreens- so disappointed in this place!

I'm sorry to leave a one star review but I hate this location the music in the café is extremely loud and even in the kitchen you can hear it just from the bathroom and noise from people sitting in the dining room, it gave me such a headache, the waitress we had never took our menus from our table after we ordered or checked on us once during eating lunch, I noticed her standing by the door looking at her cellphone, I'm not a fan of the open concept kitchen either, parking here is a bit difficult and you either have to walk up stairs to access the dining room or take the wheelchair lift. The food is mediocre at best my mom got a Ruben sandwich with super tough corned beef on it and a side salad that didn't look so fresh, I got a buffalo burger and fries, it was ok, but after eating it I had a bloody nose and felt terrible afterwards, we also ordered an iced mocha and Mexican mocha, my mom enjoyed her drink, mine was really strong and bitter so I added in some stevia from the table, we spent 60 dollars here definitely not worth going out of the way for, my mom had issues trying to pay for our meal and figure out the tip and sales tax, the system they use here is weird. The window screens need replacement and the dining room just looks like it needs a renovation, it's very small and loud, the view just looks across the street. I wish they had more gluten free and organic items to choose from, sadly I wasn't able to take a Picture of the menu there's so many options on it and the portions you get here are big, I'm not a fan of the huge pieces of produce they put in the salads here it makes it hard to eat. I'm not returning to this location again.
