Brown Cup Cafe & Lounge

The southwestern breakfast sandwich was amazing, lavender honey matcha lattes delicious, the atmosphere is comfy and cozy. Definitely recommend!

This place is such a cute homey spot with great people and great drinks!

One of the best places in area. Breakfast amazing and healthy. Lady behind the counter so polite and friendly. We love it.

Very friendly. Good matcha iced latte

The location is near Oceanside train station, near Oceanside Municipal Pier Beach, about 15 minutes, crossroad of coast and springs streets. I ordered muffins and coffee. Our experience was great there. The coffee was one of the professional coffees that I ordered. The personnels are friendly. Nice area to rest, sit, talk, and great for personal meetings or business meetings. Next experience, I would order something new! Maybe a food, omelette, or a sandwich

Just a quick stop along a crowded freeway took us to this sweet setting with fresh delightful servings.

Ordered a cappuccino and it was extremely hot, burned my tongue. The foam was basic, nothing better than what I could make at home. The café itself was a little bit dirty and old-fashioned.

This is an update to my previous review:
After trying a few places in the area, this place offers a great breakfast burrito and London fog tea late is great.
One of my favorite places in the area. 👍🏼👍🏼

Coffee Late great,

London Fog tea late, was good

The place is definitely recommended

Good coffee n reasonable size coffee for pricing. Electronic ordering and in person as well. Enjoyed the waiting decor and cold fruit infused water while waiting for my order.

I actually did not have enough money to buy a cup of coffee, and I just wanted to get out of the house to go somewhere to get out of the heat and get some work done. I was minding my own business and using a personal hotshot, not even the cafe’s Wi-Fi. The old guy behind the counter (owner maybe?) kicked me out because I didn’t buy anything. I understand if it was packed and I was taking up space or being loud but there were 5 people other than me in there and I was just tucked in the corner minding my own. I feel like it would be basic human decency just to let me do my work, ON MY OWN PERSONAL HOTSPOT. If I do ever end up going somewhere to buy a cup of coffee, this will not be it. He didn’t even come up to me quietly and ask me to leave, he told me from across the room.

If you are in a hurry don't go, they are Too slow and made a lot of mistakes with my my order. And it is too expensive for what they offer.

My boyfriend and I love Chai lattes and this place was great, so much so that we came back our second day in town. The staff were pleasant and the atmosphere cozy, would recommend!

I was disappointed because this place was recommended to me. I ordered the breakfast sandwich thinking it would be great to have a bodega style sandwich that was cheap and easy near me. It was listed as “starting at $3.50” and then had pick three next to it. They then proceeded to charge me an extra $2 for two tiny very thin slices of ham, another $2 for egg and another $1.25 for a tiny portion of avocado. Luckily the sourdough was not an up charge. The ham had a weird sour taste that I first attributed to the sourdough, once I figured it out I didn’t finish it. Worst $9 breakfast sandwich. Just be upfront with the price and have the options listed. I also expect when I’m paying $2 for an add on that it’s not just thin pieces of deli ham or the tiniest slivers of avocado. We also ordered a bagel with cream cheese which was barely toasted, and a latte and a mocha. My husband drank his latte but it was really watery. I had a few sips of my mocha before I just tossed it. Super disappointing experience. I actually liked the kinda dated furniture that was in the store but was so put off by everything else it was ruined.

This place is a hidden gem. Despite being on the crumby side of O'side, the large lounge chairs and jazz offer real respite in a calm atmosphere. The simple fact that you can settle into the space instead of feeling like you constantly need to move around is a real blessing. The person taking orders is difficult to understand due to a combining foreign accent and quiet demeanor. Please respect this space.
