I went to visit a friend who had recently moved from her home in Solana Beach to Carlsbad By the Sea, and beautiful independent living establishment in Carlsbad. We toured the grounds, saw her lovely one bedroom apartment, then walked across the street to With Creek Winery (and coffee bar). We sat and had a good, strong cup of coffee and a croissant and talked about her move. While sitting there, a man came with a delivery of huge amounts of fresh strawberries. We asked him what he was going to do with all those strawberries, and he told us he was delivering them to the Strawberry Shack, next door to where we were having coffee.
I had never heard of the Strawberry Shack before, so I had to go check it out. 88% of all strawberries grown in the U.S. come from California, many of them right in our own backyard. We've all seen the "strawberry fields" on Cannon and stopped for delicious fresh strawberries at on of the many fruit stands in San Diego.
The Shake Shack used to sell shakes and sundaes at Armstrong Nursery during the time the flower fields were in bloom. About a year ago they opened The Strawberry Shack on Coast Highway in the heart of Carlsbad. Here you can get everything strawberry: shakes and sundaes, chocolate covered strawberry marshmallows, strawberry pudding, strawberry cannoli, strawberry pina colada Dole whip and much, much more. Next time you're in old Carlsbad Village, stop at the Strawberry Shack and try one of creative creations
