Shorehouse Kitchen Carlsbad

A very pleasant brunch eatery next to the railroad tracks. The food was decent, but our server was wonderful and attentive. The outdoor seating area was very relaxing and comfortable. The chicken pesto sandwich was pretty good and the thin cut fries was good as well. We also tried its appetizer of heirloom tomatoes, avocado, Burrata cheese and toast that was pretty good, but wasn’t memorable. It does close at 2:30 P.M. so plan ahead.

We LOVE this restaurant! The location is in the center of downtown and has an old school local vibe. We were stoked to see they have a dogs menu that was pretty impressive. They literally have excellent food choices with fresh eggs, breakfast meats for them and decently priced. We've brought our pug Jojo there a few times and they brought her food out in a nice bowl. We love how the place is full of locals and their dogs, families and people fresh off the train across the way. Its predominantly an outdoor seated scenario. There's definitely indoor seating, but outside is the best. The food is so excellent and has refreshing choices that break the norm. I'm having the Hawaiian pancakes with guava syrup next time. 🌺 The whole atmosphere is alive. If you don't want to stay and eat you can pop into the front part of the restaurant which caters to those who only want coffee and fresh bakery. There's breakfast items on that menu like breakfast burritos to go and other good choices. Its the best restaurant ever. 🌴🥥🏄‍♂️🌊🐾🐾

Delicious! This was my second time here . I had ordered the maple chicken lettuce wrapped with egg whites with a side of house salad. Others in the party ordered the steak/eggs and Monterey omelet with vanilla bean yogurt. We have enjoyed our food. Service was excellent and Ambiance was like an outdoor patio setting. Benches were a little high for my guests. I also ordered a Kyoto ice coffee. It was ok. I truly enjoyed the food and will come again.

This isn’t a negative review—just an honest one. We ordered three items: the bell pepper soup was okay, the chicken sandwich didn’t hit the mark, but the mushroom omelette was actually quite good. Service was very slow. It was a busy weekend brunch, so the delay was understandable, but it did feel like they could’ve used more staff to handle the rush. That said, our waiter was incredibly sweet, which made it hard to be upset about the wait. Personally, I don’t see myself coming back, but I wouldn’t discourage others from trying it. It has potential, just not the best fit for me.

Excellent service and super cute ambience! Food was amazing. We got the carnitas Benedict, angus short rib and hashbrown cakes and the cornmeal pancakes. It was beyond delicious and the portions are super generous. Would definitely recommend!

A local gathering spot for simple California breakfast options. Great people watching and al fresco dining. The food is decent, but not exceptional. There was a solid basic breakfast and a tasty California veggie omelette, but the disappointing breakfast "grilled cheese" had minimal cheese, just a sprinkle of partially melted grated cheddar. No melty cheese pull that the name insinuates. As a grilled cheese lover the dish needs to deliver on the promise. But overall it's an acceptable breakfast spot for an easy, breezy start to your morning.

Garbage service, took forever for everything to get to us, the food is bland with literally no seasoning whatsoever, they don't even use salt. The chai latte was good (you know, 10 minutes after I ordered it...), but everything else was tasteless and pricey. I would not recommend to anyone period

While the location and vibe were excellent, our visit was a bit of a letdown. The food looked delicious but tasted fairly average, and the service was slow and inattentive, especially since the restaurant wasn't busy yet. We even saw some dishes sitting in the kitchen window for a long time. The one bright spot was that the restaurant is dog-friendly and even has a special menu for pups.
