Vinaka Cafe

Employees are kind, drinks are quick and the ambience is awesome.

I've been coming to Vinaka for a couple years now for "cafe days" where I do homework, read, do art, or chat with friends. I've seen them go through a lovely remodeling process that brings so much life to the already adorable cafe. They more recently got various sized mugs for in-house use which is a refreshing break from the constant plastic to-go cups you find elsewhere. Always friendly and lively folks behind the bar helping out too. What prompted me to finally post a review were the two lovely baristas who were so kind and made the most delicious sandwiches and drinks my partner and I have ever enjoyed here. It just reinforced all the reasons I love coming here! ** Seating can sometimes be difficult to find for 2+ people as Vinaka is justifiably popular! Lots of outlets/extension cords and outdoor seating though.

Quaint and cozy cafe in the middle of Carlsbad village plaza! I highly recommended their selection of beverage menu and specialty treats. Evening well spent.

Best atmosphere of any coffee shop in Carlsbad. It is actually cozy inside, and the music never too loud. It is not a big corporation chain like the other over priced competitors. Also best chai tea lattes and a mean fruit tart

I think the atmosphere is pleasant, but I don't like how close together all the tables are. I tried the hot cafe mexicana, and I didn't taste anything but the oatmilk. I think they forgot to add the coffee to my coffee. The cake was fine.

This place is pretty cool. They have gluten free bread for sandwiches and s little play area for toddlers.
