20 Best Cafes in Oceanside

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

“This place is the cutest. And they have the yummiest tea ever. I love the pink decor and small deliberate choices to make each and every experience on your visit memorable. I'm not a huge fan of their homemade bread, but I think it's vegan bread. I appreciate the attention to detail and care, but I would also like some choices for bread. Other than that, we haven't tried much else, so it's hard to make a firm opinion about the food when I haven't had much. But, the bathroom is also very nice, and the place has a homey feeling and nice staff. It's worth a try.

Dietary restrictions: I think they have vegan options too.

Kid-friendliness: so/so

Wheelchair accessibility: Sort of.“

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

“I’m not usually around the Oceanside area, and this was my first time here. It’s a cute spot, laid back and the staff is friendly, but I ended up taking someone else’s order—which I agree is on me—but my name was on the receipt and it came out around the time I was told it’d be ready. I was in a rush, no one else walked up and the employee there had only double checked my name and not the order, again on me for not clocking the incorrect dishes but I really wasn’t sure what everything’s supposed to look like. I appreciate the management for being responsive, if I’m ever there again I’d be happy to give it another shot.“

“The frost is to die for and just like Korean Bingsu! The staff is so sweet and they offer full GF options. Our new go-to spot!!! Thanks Aqua Cafe for great healthy food and good friendship!“

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

“Yesterday was my first visit to Vigilante's Oceanside location. I've been to the College Park location in Maryland before, but this was my first time visiting on the West Coast. The cafe is beautiful. There was so much natural light, beautiful decor, and it was nice to be greeted with smiles when I walked in (you all have the coolest merch as well). For the first time ever, I ordered an iced, dirty chai, and it was SPECTACULAR! Ivan made it for me, and I could tell that it was made with love. Also, the manager, I believe their name is AP, was such a delight. You can tell that the team enjoys one another, and it is evident in the service that they provide to their customers. I'll definitely be back, and I'm also looking forward to the Vista location opening soon. All the best!“

“This place is amazing! I came here with my husband since we share a love for crepes and these are some of the very authentic crepes! The taste and service was amazing and would highly recommend. Also, affordable. Would highly recommend and we will return often!“

“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.“

“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 !“

“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.“

“I recently stopped in to get a coffee while waiting for a shuttle to go to LAX. At the time I thought both staff members were extremely friendly and the coffee was delicious as I waited for my ride outside. A few days later I realized I left my hydro flask outside on one of their tables and I was back in Charlotte NC. I reached out to them and Jason was extremely responsive and sent it back to me no questions asked. This just shows you the type of quality individuals that work here and having killer coffee and a clean cool establishment are icing on the cake. Anytime I’m in Oceanside, I will be definitely stopping in!“

“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!“

“relaxing atmosphere, friendly service“

“Love the iconic location which was made famous by the movie Top Gun!“

“This place has a beautiful, calm, earthy and laid back vibe. Felt liking walking into a family members house who's invited everyone over for food and fellowship. The service was great, so effortless and relaxed! I go to restaurants, coffee places and the like to wind down, relax and have a good time and this place delivered!! They have an amazing event place, floral shop and coffee cafe, it's so awesome!! I've been looking for a space to write and create while drinking coffee and tea; found it!!!! Don't miss out on this gem!!“

“Great service, good atmosphere and clean place. Thank you! 👍👍“

“Stopped by here for a sandwich and brewski for lunch. I got the Californian and it was delicious but a little messy! That won’t stop me from coming back and hanging out though. Adam was a gem, he helped me feel super welcome and taken care of. Lovely little spot in the strip when you want to stop by for an afternoon hang!!“
