Ample parking, well designed, some rad places. I'll be really stoked when these guys fill out the rest of their shops. They've already got a ton of great stuff: -the habit -Michaels -multiple Banks -chipotle -project pie -so much more Worth your time to stop by and check it out! One they get a couple more places to chill, I'll definitely hang out here.

It's always a pleasure to visit the La Costa Town Square for whatever I need. I think that's because it feels very spacious, is well designed, the streets and shops are well laid out, the paint is fresh, and the entire campus is kept clean. Couldn't ask for a more pleasant experience.

5 Stars! Happy New Year 2020, today is 01072020! I enjoy driving and chauffeuring my teenage son and his great friends. They went to the luxury movie place Friday, 01032020; I dropped off, ran errands, and returned just in time to pick up after their movie! Plenty of parking! I didn't order or buy anything! I was driving my beloved child and his great choice of friends and that's what I was suppose to be doing: deciding to love! Ever-Virgin Most Powerful Triumph and Reign!

Lots of options here! A great place to just find a parking spot and walk through. I brought my dog, and she was fine and safe outside Starbucks while I ordered. Lots of friendly people on the sidewalks the Saturday that I went.

Such a pretty and well kept Town Square! I went to Jersey Mike's and got a great sandwich. They were really busy but super quick!

This my go to place.. it’s great for going to. I like walking on the concrete there, it has a good feel to it. You are allowed to touch the textured walls and there are stores, don’t get me started on the stores. The stores have very complete ceilings and super well done floors. Overall I highly suggest walking on the concrete there

La Costa Town Square – A Refreshed & Elevated Lifestyle Hub Location & Ambience Nestled at the intersection of La Costa Avenue and Rancho Santa Fe Road, this vibrant open-air center blends modern plaza living with ease and charm. Wide pedestrian walkways, fountains, and well-maintained landscaping give it a polished yet relaxed atmosphere. Retail Anchors & Services • 🛠️ REI relocated from Encinitas in early 2025 to a spacious ~28,000 sq ft store, complete with full-service ski and bike mechanics—an outdoors-lover’s paradise. • 🛒 The former Vons has been completely remodeled into Pavilions, offering a higher-end grocery experience, a wine cellar, and gourmet selections (with moderately increased prices). • Other notable tenants include Petco, Michael’s, 24-Hour Fitness, as well as banks, salons, and eye/dental practices—making it a convenient one-stop hub. Dining & Entertainment • The Cinépolis luxury theater remains a key highlight, offering recliners, in-theater dining, and cocktails for memorable movie nights. • Recent updates: Luna Grill has closed its La Costa location    . However, favorites like Bushfire Grill, Project Pie, ice cream shops, and coffee spots continue to serve visitors. Parking & Accessibility Parking is plentiful and easy to navigate, with EV charging stations and wide-drive aisles. Centrally located, the Town Square serves surrounding communities like Bressi Ranch, Rancho Santa Fe, and Encinitas. Community Feel Local reviewers praise the clean layout, family-friendly vibe, and convenient amenities. One noted: “It offers plenty of parking spaces and some quality eateries… Just pay attention to the kids riding e‑bikes.”   ⸻ ✅ Final Verdict La Costa Town Square remains a stylish and functional destination in Carlsbad. With its mix of practical retail (Pavilions, REI), upscale recreation (Cinépolis, fitness), and casual eateries, it’s ideal for errands, family outings, or a relaxed evening. The loss of Luna Grill is notable, but t

Great place for a stop. Enjoyed dessert at Susie Cakes and Coffee at Starbucks. Wow what a treat! I parked once and enjoyed great views, window shopping and dessert and coffee and it never hurts to get a little extra walking in at the same time! Enjoy.

Beautiful shopping center and well kept. Array of nice shops, especially since REI moved here. In addition to Vons, La Costa Town Square features a state-of-the-art fitness center, national and specialty retailers and a vibrant collection of restaurants.
