Everyone that works here is so warm and inviting! And it feels truly genuine. I had a carrot muffin and I'm not exaggerating when I say it was the best muffin I've ever had! It was very moist, the perfect level of sweetness with a cream cheese top and TONS of carrots. I'm excited to go back and try the rest of the menu, as there are so many creative twists woven throughout. The atmosphere inside is so lovely as well. It's perfect for a full meal or just grabbing a coffee and a pastry. Thanks for creating such a welcoming space!

A busy Father's Day at Carlota's.
We live within walking distance. This place, where a car drove into the bad place before this.
One of my kids suggested this new place, I had heard of it because I love the people at Ascend, but thought little of it.
OMG, the place was packed, the place, Immaculate, the smiles, infectious, the food .... Well. Everyone's comments are on point.
Delicious.
We will be back to try everything. We want to support the fine staff there. We want to ensure people know about this little spot, buried in a small Sprouts mall.
We wish all the best to the staff and ownership for making my father's day unique.

This little gem opened up seemingly overnight and has blown our expectations out of the water. Every dish we ordered was fantastic, and every staff member we interacted with had a smile on their face. PLEASE stop by Carlotta to have a wonderful brunch that will leave you satisfecho.

Picked this place randomly off of the reviews it has already, and I’ll say the reviews are not lying. It’s definitely the best place I’ve had for a Mexican style brunch. From the cafe de olla to the poblano, chiliquiles and the tres leches French toast it was all amazing. Great welcoming atmosphere as well. Guaranteed will beat most if not all brunch places in San Diego you’ve been to.
I always crave food is familiar but then also wish for something genuinely different. This place is both! I got a veggie omelette but the sauce made it different than anything else and it was incredible. Then I had to try the muffins which looked truly unique and were so fresh and different and delightful and yet still familiar enough to love them. This place is exquisite. I can’t wait to come back telling everything else.
