"You order at the counter then they give you a number that you display on your table. I ordered the Egg Plate breakfast with my eggs scrambled, crispy bacon and half fruit and half hash browns. The eggs were cooked nicely. The quantity appears less than normal. The bacon was 70% crispy. The hash browns were cooked perfectly but needs some seasoning. The fruit was hit and miss. Most of the strawberry pieces had brown spots and the honeydew pieces were a little slimy. They brought my breakfast quickly and they have a beautiful patio to enjoy it."

"Cozy Coastal Vibe with Delicious Brunch” Cafe Elysa is a charming spot in Carlsbad, just steps from the beach, offering a relaxed atmosphere and a partial ocean view from the outdoor patio. The breakfast and brunch options are fresh and flavorful favorites include the croissant sandwiches, stuffed French toast, and quiches. The coffee is excellent! Service is friendly and quick, and the cozy patio with fire pits makes it a perfect place to unwind any time of day."

"Hands down a friend of mine said this place was tremendous. Needless to say I was blown away by the taste, the friendly staff, and how attentive and welcoming they were!"

"This morning's coffee date landed at Cafe Elysa. Elysa serves a bold cup of coffee with tasty treats. They only offer outdoor seating, which allows the patrons to enjoy Carlsbad weather. Most of the outdoor seating is covered. I found myself savouring coffee by the fire pit. The fire and the music added to the peaceful ambience of Elysa, where I reflected on life. With Elysa located near the road, we experienced some traffic sounds. Next time you are near Carlsbad Village take a moment to enjoy Cafe Elysa. I look forward to another cup of coffee at Elysa"

"Always a great place to bring friends for breakfast or coffee . Located next to the beach you can’t go wrong with their menu. Between the mouth watering quiches, flavorful Benedict’s and fluffy pancakes you’ll walk away stuffed and glad you came ."
