every time i come back to home from school, vinaka is the one place i go to relax and catch up with my friends. i've been going there since high school and it's wonderful...the service, the coffee, and the atmostphere. it's very close to the beach so a wonderful stop for anyone staying at carlsbad. :)

this place is like a vacation every time you go in. It is decorated hawaiian themed, and the staff really make you feel at home. great atmosphere, and a great alternative to starbucks. (honestly, their mochas and chai's are better than starbucks too). Great desserts too!!!
