"Not often am I in the Carlsbad Mall, also known as The Shoppes at Carlsbad. Wanting to make the best of it, I stopped by Gold Coffee Shop. The wait time was reasonable. There was only one customer before me. The coffee that I ordered was freshly made, a pour over coffee ☕. Rather than a bold cup, I wanted it smooth. He added heavy cream, which made it perfect. Oddly the coffee shop did not offer wi-fi. When you find yourself at The Shoppes at Carlsbad, you may want to enjoy a cup of coffee at Gold Coffee Shop."

"Always a treat coming to this chill coffee shop. At a nice location next to JCPenney, the elevator and a mini indoor children play place. Definitely great drinks, amazing service, friendly all around and the drinks are on point. An atmosphere where one can rest or hang out with a few buddies before shopping around the stores in the mall. Check it out for yourself and select a good refresher."

"It was my first time here today. It is very clean inside....so neat. The decorations and the floor set up is very relaxing. Very well lit inside. My only wish is if they could play some music inside though I guess because it is inside a mall, it already is very noisy. I ordered a caramel frappe and it was great. Its not very sweet just the right amount of all the element I look for a drink. I hope more people discover this place. Its a relaxing spot for me. I feel like I have to come over here each time I visit the mall. It is one of the great attraction here considering how small the shopping mall is."

"The Oreo milk shake was delicious but the plastic cup they use cracked in multiple places before we were able to finish it. In less than an hour we had milkshake all over everything before we realized it was leaking. Beware of the plastic cups."

"We stopped in here while doing some shopping on a Saturday morning. The atmosphere is welcoming with a good variety of different beverage choices. I ordered a horchata latte and it was 5/5! Prices are reasonable and the coffee tasted like quality beans! Will definitely be back next time we're at the mall."
