Brunch in the Village is calling and tickets go on sale Friday, April 17 at 9:00 AM for Taste of Carlsbad Village: Brunch Edition, happening Saturday, May 16 from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Tickets will be available on the Taste of Carlsbad Village: Brunch Edition webpage.

After a sold-out debut, this spring favorite invites guests to sip, stroll, and savor their way through downtown Carlsbad on a self-guided tasting experience that highlights the very best of the Village’s vibrant food scene.

Food stops this year include Barons Market, Beach City Smoothies, Cafe Dawny, CBar, Corner Coffee Shop, Coyote Bar & Grill, Dini’s Bistro, Froglanders, Kona Craft Café, Le Papagayo, Lola’s, Norte, Señor Grubby’s, Swami’s Café, and Wildland. Beverage sip stops will feature Authentico Corajillo, Fig & Feather, Baba Coffee, Better Buzz, Burtech Winery, Carruth Cellars, Lofty Coffee, Long Drink, Surfside, Lixir, Mr. Pibb, Topo Chico, and Smile Spirits. From specialty coffee and fresh juices to brunch cocktails and craft sips, each stop has something new to discover.

Along the way, live music and the unmistakable energy of the Village create a lively yet laid-back atmosphere that feels distinctly Carlsbad. With a single all-inclusive ticket, attendees can explore this curated collection of restaurants, cafés, and beverage partners while enjoying a relaxed afternoon with friends, family, or fellow food lovers.

Last year’s inaugural event drew more than 600 guests and sold out quickly. This year, 800 tickets will be released, but they are still expected to go fast. Tickets are $50 each and include all food and beverages and early purchase is highly recommended.

Whether you’re reconnecting with friends, planning a fun day out, or discovering new favorite spots, this event is all about great flavors, local businesses, and community connection. This is brunch, the Carlsbad Village way.
