“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!“

“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.“

“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. ☕🔥“
