“Camp Pendleton location, food is inconsistent and orders are usually wrong. service is not good and "management" is really bad. treat our military better!!“

“Loved their lattes! Quick service and great food“

“This was our first visit but it won't be our last. Good coffee, tasty sandwiches, and super friendly service.“

“Elissa puts so much thought and dedication into her delicious creations. You won't find Costco muffins repackaged in cellophane at this cafe - you WILL find her handmade recreations of traditional French pastries, fun fantasy-themed original creations, alongside custom flavored and hand-painted chocolates. Highly recommend, delicious. I only wish we lived closer and could visit more often (but that's why my wife has a monthly chocolate subscription to Elissa's companion business, 'Chocolates by E')“

“Great food, great feel, friendly help“

“The atmosphere is the draw; across the street from the Pacific Ocean. Everything on the menu looks amazing; we had the Pirate Buccaneer açaí bowl. We needed a third wheel to finish it!
It’s a definite must-do when you visit Oceanside. But com early because they close at?“

“I stopped in here for a sandwich. I got the Reuben and a side of fries. This is a delightful spot. It’s like the 90s in the best possible way. The only thing that was missing in the atmosphere was music. I feel like they should lean into that and maybe have a 90s playlist to add to the vibe. My Reuben was perfect-a classic diner sandwich very tasty and so were the fries. The service was friendly and efficient. Ample seating, a perfect little area out front (curbside) counter seating and more tables inside. I bet this place is a local favorite. I’ll def go back!“

“Love this place! Great coffee and breakfast sandwiches.“

“Absolutely the Best and most welcoming Coffee shop Ive enjoyed! To know that it's Mission oriented is so pleasing to the Lord♡! Great salads and of course coffee too!“

“Amazing coffee, very accommodating, excellent food, delicious scones and staff is kind and helpful. We highly recommend !!! ☕“

“Simply amazing! My husband and I frequent Naked. The food is awesome, and the service is amazing. We thought we would post a review of a visit we made there a few days ago. When we walked into the restaurant, (early 8:00 am) for breakfast, there was a table that had already been serviced with about 14-16 people. Michael, the manager was already taking their order. When he was finished taking their order, he came over to our table to take ours. He told us that there was a large table before us, so it might be a while before we received our order. Surprisingly enough, within in 10 minutes!, no lie, the large table was being served their orders and at the SAME time, our order came out as well. I don’t know how they do it. We love coming to Naked! Thank you Michael and staff!!! Kim & Tony“

“Best Pancakes. Always good everything. 👍👍“

“Milk Organics is the best place to eat healthy in Vista! Delicious açaí and pitaya bowls, vegan pastries, amazing sandwiches, awesome smoothies and superb homemade granola. I definitely recommend stopping by. The decor is super cool and the staff is friendly and kind!“

“The very best Indian food I have ever eaten in all of San Diego county.“

“As our first breakfast in Oceanside my wife and I walked down to this lovely place to have crepes. We both are fans of savory crepes and both ordered the ham and cheese. Flavor was great and the serving was generous. The only suggestion I woud have is maybe just a touch of Dijon be made available for the crepe. Wonderful meal and we will be back!“

“North Coast Church Coffee House is one of the best. They serve the best coffees under the Lord’s name. The staff are always smiling, and cheerful. Thanks for a place to hang out, or have a bible study session.“

“I ordered the breakfast sandwich served on a pretzel croissant, and it was sublime! Eggs were cooked perfectly. The croissant just added an extra flavor profile I am hooked. This is a little hidden café, literally in front of the library entrance.“

“Mooie plek, goede sfeer, nice people“

“Love The Bunker House! My favorite is the lavender matcha latte with one of their delicious O-side bakery pastries, toasts, sandwiches or French toast sticks. Did you hear me? FRENCH TOAST STICKS. The people that work there are so lovely. Go visit. You’ll love em.“

“The Market at Legoland was well-stocked with lots of plant based options, including bottled and canned iced lattes (LOVED my iced caramel cold brew oat milk latte in a pink can!), vegan parm crisps, cookies, candy, fruit, a selection of salads, sandwiches and more. There is a coffee bar with almond milk and oat milk for non-dairy milk options. Super conveniently located right at the entrance - stock up on your way in to the park!

“Just stopped in for coffee! Menu looks fantastic-can’t wait to try! Cute decor and staff very friendly!“

“Had a wonderful time at Bliss Tea and Treats with friends and family celebrating a 55th birthday this past Sunday. The food, teas and atmosphere were fantastic and the staff couldn’t have been better ! I also love to support black women owned enterprises as they can really be underrepresented and appreciated. Thanks Bliss Tea and Treats ! We’ll be back !“

“This is my favorite local haunt offering great specialty coffees and bakery items. Couple that with being surrounded by beautiful choice of plants at decent prices. Always welcoming and friendly.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars – Absolute Beachside Gem

Camp Coffee Company in Oceanside is what happens when good vibes, great coffee, and a perfect beach location all collide in the best possible way.

First of all — the setting. Cozy, stylish outdoor seating right by the beach. You’re literally sipping coffee with ocean air in your face. It feels fancy but relaxed at the same time. Not pretentious. Just right.

The staff? Super friendly, sharp, and welcoming. The whole team has that effortless cool energy — and yes, Oceanside definitely hires well. Professional, quick, smiling, and on point.

Now let’s talk about the real reason we’re here: the coffee. Six bucks. Amazing quality. And they even throw in cookies. I mean… come on. In 2026, that’s basically a miracle. Strong, smooth, perfectly balanced — not that burnt chain-store nonsense. You can tell they care.

Honestly, this is probably the best coffee spot right by the beach in Oceanside. Great crowd, great atmosphere, great product. Whether you’re closing deals, on a date, or just pretending to journal while people-watching — this is the move.

Camp Coffee Company, keep doing exactly what you’re doing. You nailed it. ☕🔥“

“We stayed at the hotel as part of the Legoland vacations package. The hotel is right next to the park and because you stay there, you get early access to the park. Breakfast is included but still best to make reservations. We stayed in a Friends themed room with bunk beds for the girls. The girls had a great time and enjoyed meeting characters on site.“

“I manage a law firm in the area and this Better Buzz has a five star customer service mentality! Literally made my day after a terrible spill. Shilo the manager could not have been more helpfull. The drinks were delicious. The staff and barista wonderful. We look forward to making regular visits to this coffee house with a vibe that good. If I could give more stars I would! Life is Better BUZZED at Mission Ave Better Buzz!“

“Doordashed breakfast on vacation! Absolutely delicious!!!“

“relaxing atmosphere, friendly service“

“We’ve been eating here for the last 2 years and have always had a great experience. Great soups, salads, sandwiches, and burgers. Also, our 5 year old loves their food.“

“Surprisingly good prices and portion sizes. Food quality was good as well.

They were a bit understaffed, which contributed to longer waits but they were still friendly and tried their best.

The paper menu is outdated so they no longer offer some of the items like the power bowls. They've also added more items to the menu that doesn't reflect on the paper ones, which can get confusing when you're ordering for the first time.“

“Desayuno muy rico cafecito y ensaladas deliciosas todo fresco ☕️😀“

“One of the best sandwiches and great service“

“Such a wonderful relaxing spot for delicious coffee! My dog loves it too!“

“Campus Café is a fantastic food stop for breakfast or lunch. Today I did their Korean barbecue that was their special for Thursday. So yummy. Has just the right amount of fight and balanced out nicely with the salad. You won’t be disappointed coming here.“

“A beautiful atmosphere with friendly staff and great food!!!“

“Mike is the best! He always makes the best drinks and conversation. Stop by for a drink/chat at the best coffee shop in oside!“

“As a tea drinker this presentation felt sophisticated and the chamomile strength was delicious and soothing. The freshness and rainbow colors of this bowl complemented the light delicate dressing. The watermelon radish added a pungent spice and with a dollop of hummus was perfectly balanced. Felt light and healthy and was a great vegan option. The music was mellow and the volume matched the mood of the time of day. Will be back again and try more of the not coffee menu.“

“Taste Great 🏋️‍♀️💨! Hot pastrami almost taste like Johnny pastrami in Los Angela’s but it’s omg 😱 good good goodness good 👍🏽 lol“

“One of the best sandwiches and great service“

“The place is nice, bright, and clean. They offer various salads and drinks, as well as bread. The black pepper ciabatta turned out to be a bit tough, and the pepper wasn't noticeable at all. But the tea and coffee are excellent. It's quiet and peaceful — a good spot to sit, read, or have a conversation.“

“Adorable coffee shop right across the street from our hotel. Great energy and vibe, and the customer service is fantastic. The music was fun and the place felt lively. Everyone was friendly and helpful.

We ordered the Mexican mocha and it was delicious. I’m very picky about Mexican mochas and this was one of the best I’ve had.

We also tried the ham and cheese croissant, the avocado feta toast (no tomatoes for the picky eaters in our group), and the OG açaí bowl. Everything was fresh and tasty.

Definitely recommend this spot.“

“Love Panera’s chicken salad sandwich with sliced grape and almonds! Broccoli cheddar soup is awesome as well!!!“

“Food is good however, I ordered my Eggs Bene pouched medium to hard they came super loose - yuck. They don’t tell you the potatoes are made with red potatoes- yuck. Lastly, the outside patio is filthy. Really really gross sticky.“

“The pastry here is incredible! Had the croissant, pain au chocolat, and a baguette. This is comparable to the pastry I've had in France. Outstanding!“

“Todo muy rico los sándwich y las ensaladas las recomiendo“
