"I’m excited that Shake Shack, the global burger behemoth that began as a New York City hot dog cart in 2004 and now operates over 250 locations worldwide, is heading to Carlsbad. I note it first arrived in San Diego in 2017 with a location at Westfield UTC and subsequently opened outposts in Mission Valley, One Paseo, and Little Italy; its new 2,854-square-foot space at the Beacon La Costa complex on El Camino Real will include a large outdoor patio and is expected to open toward the end of the year. The chain’s core menu features burgers, chicken sandwiches, flat-top Vienna beef dogs, frozen custard, and crinkle-cut fries, and it is currently running seasonal specials through October such as a Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich, Hot Honey Fries, non-alcoholic Lime Agave Margarita and Watermelon Mint Mojito, and a Cherry Pop Shake (vanilla cola frozen custard with Amarena cherry, popping candy, whipped cream, and cherry caramel candies)." - Candice Woo
