"Wildland’s fantastic homemade breads shine in everything from their pastries to pizza, no matter the hour. For brunch, we love the spacious, all-day cafe’s two sandwiches equally: their pizza sandwich—egg, pesto, mortadella, stracciatella, parmesan—and the breakfast sandwich, which tucks fennel sausage breakfast into a flaky, buttery croissant. Their dog-friendly patio is expansive and relaxed, and might even inspire you to stroll through Carlsbad Village for locally-made glassware and custom wood furniture in spite of all the errands you intended to run afterward." - candice woo, cora lee, ligaya malones
"Wildland is an all-day cafe that does a little bit of everything. They bake their own bread and pastries, make really good coffee (try the silky chocolate-hazelnut latte), and serve great drinks. It's the perfect place for odd hours of the day when it feels too late for brunch or too early for dinner. Highlights include the hearty pizza sandwich—egg, pesto, mortadella, stracciatella, parmesan—and a smoked fish plate with pastrami-style kanpachi and gravlax. Make your way through the huge, dog-friendly outdoor patio to order at the counter, and don't be intimidated by the line, which moves at a decent pace." - ligaya malones, candice woo

"A vibey new all-day cafe from the same chef behind a Michelin-starred North County restaurant, positioned as an accessible, daylong neighborhood spot." - Kelly Bone
"Wildland, a new all-day restaurant, bar, and bakery from the same team behind Jeune et Jolie and Campfire in Carlsbad, has already firmed itself as a community anchor. A Tokyo-style standing bar bisects the sprawling, 8,000-square-foot dining room; behind it, a coffee counter buzzes with activity at all hours. Stop by in the mornings for hot or cold espresso drinks and compelling breakfast plates like the pizza sandwich, a folded pizza stuffed with a runny egg and mortadella. The no-fuss counter-order operation is still sleek enough for languid weekend hangs with friends and family." - Roxana Becerril
