Sweet Spot in Carlsbad Village is a candy and ice cream shop at 3001 Carlsbad Boulevard offering more than 20 Thrifty ice cream flavors, frozen yogurt, fudge, and candy by the pound steps from the beach. The shop opened in July 2022 in the space formerly occupied by Linda's Yogurt & Deli, and its nostalgic candy bins and chocolate cases stock a range of treats that pair naturally with the brunch and lunch plates at Cafe Elysa around the corner. Candy-by-the-pound bins carry gummies, sour belts, Jelly Belly beans, freeze-dried sweets, and vintage novelty brands alongside a wall of packaged chocolates and toffees. The ice cream counter scoops Thrifty and Dreyer's flavors into waffle cones baked in-house, and milkshakes, malts, banana splits, smoothies, and acai bowls round out the frozen menu — a dessert breadth on par with the craft sandwich-and-beer combos at Board & Brew in the Village's savory lane. Double waffle cones hold two full scoops from the rotating lineup, which cycles through seasonal options including espresso almond fudge, pistachio, and black cherry vanilla alongside year-round staples.
