Al's Cafe in the Village | Carlsbad

Since Al’s opened in 1991, it has been a local favorite. And yes Al, who spent many years in Hawaii, adds a touch of Hawaii to each meal and will likely be on hand to greet you! If it’s breakfast you want, he’ll probably recommend one of 10 types of eggs Benedict or their famous cinnamon coconut macadamia nut French toast.

Lunch favorites include salads, Angus beef burgers and homemade soups. When you see your meal you’ll definitely agree that this is one restaurant where you’ll get your money’s worth. It’s often packed with lots of happy locals. There is also extra seating on the sidewalk patio.

Of course, their homemade desserts are very popular too! They also make 12 varieties of fresh homemade fudge, which are available daily. Be sure to ask for a free taste
