50 Best Coffee Shops in Oceanside

“I love how this small , family-owned business is located conveniently on Mission Ave. Great service and they have some pastries & vegan sweets too. They’ve got a nice seating that allows for people-watching and most importantly, they support other small bakeries & businesses by carrying their goods. It’s a win-win and I love that for our community.“

“We came here on Tuesday night, before closing and ordered 2 white chocolate blondes, the drinks were yummy, but on the sweeter size. We didn't get the doughnuts, but definitely want to come back and try some. They made our kids quickly. I liked that they had outdoor seating as well, so you're able to grab some treats and a drink, and take a seat outside.“

“Ordered my first ever California Benedict and it was delicious! Perfect way to celebrate my birthday. Big shout out to the staff fir their energetic birthday greetings.“

“Amazing coffee!!! Great atmosphere and you feel at home. ❤️❤️❤️“

“Best coffee I've ever had, every flavour isn't overpowering but enough for it to be satisfying, a hint of it per say and that's how I like my coffee, choice of crushed ice makes this combo perfect, very refreshing, shoutout to the kind man who runs this cute succulent place! ❤“

“Love everything about this place: the vibe, the service and especially their drinks. I didn't get a chance to try their toast yet but will definitely be back for it. I got the Dirty Banana Milk and finished it so fast I forgot to take a pic. Great spot to try in Oceanside!“

“The gelato and coffee were delicious; the atmosphere lovely; but especially the service was amazing. The servers behind the counter were so kind and patient, clearly wanting their patrons to be taken care of“

“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.“

“Everything about it is amazing.“

“A few months ago our nonprofit organization was looking for a place where our families could meet up to enjoy some amazing coffee and socialize a bit. Our Angels at Right Hand Angels are disabled and many times they are not accepted in the community. That is not the case here. Each time we have walked in our families have been greeted with kindness, dignity and respect. The staff and owner is always quick to make a smile or chat for a few and even have made some great selections on foods and the game chess. One of our athletes in particular is very quick to claim his favorite chair where he can visually see everything and everyone around him in hopes to make small talk with families. Socialization is so very important to them. We think nothing but the world of this facility and highly recommend the dirty spiced chai and avocado toast. Join them. Atmosphere is very pleasant and wheelchair accessible.“

“Cute little shop love it!“

“Juliana, thank you so much. I know I accidentally made a mistake when ordering, but she’s still honored the drink. Always great service here, I will be a loyal Better Buzz customer forever lol and they are very quick and efficient!“

“I love supporting a family business and an amazing cause. This is a great atmosphere to hang out, with an airy, open floor concept. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Their white chocolate mocha with a pump of coconut, is an excellent choice! The bacon, cheese & apple croissant was also a delicious treat. Aside from amazing coffee, it just feels good to be there.“

“Just been for the first time today. Great coffee and definitely worth a try!! Will be back!“

“very excellent service very nice people great place spend the morning and have coffee locally owned“

“Best place to enjoy the best coffee and the place has the best workers“

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

“Nice spot ! You can eat at the counter seating and see the beautiful beach and ocean just across the street.
I had the Kitchen Sink burrito ($11.95) was all good, except I think it would have been better, if the fries were a little crispy.
Parking was tough on the weekend, as the lot is shared with a park area next door.

“Came for the Ube Matcha but left with Calamansi-Mango sparkling drink.

9/10- Calamansi-Mango sparkling drink.
10/10- Ube Swirl Brownie. Perfect sweetness. I love it 😻

The server was so nice and polite. Asked me if I want the center or side piece of the brownie. Sadly, Ube wasn’t available until 1030 today. She also suggested my drink when I mentioned calamansi. I’m satisfied with the service.

Don’t forget to get their drink stamp card 💙“

“Was driving by and my daughter saw this store, so we stopp e in. It is brand new in Palm Tree Plaza, next to the new Nail Bar and by Perfect Cuts. Can’t wait to return. Excellent coffee, in-house pressed juice, fun snacks and sundries, and friendly, informative staff and owner. Could be a fun meeting spot as they have a counter to sit and sip.“

“Good and speedy workers! 5star!!!“

“The customer service is outstanding“

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

“Great food and great service...an outstanding spot for breakfast! Although we live 2,000+ miles away, we hope to be back someday. Almost forgot...great name as well.“

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

“Excited to have Better Buzz 🐝 in Oceanside“

“Great doughnuts. 5 out of 5. HOWEVER…..LOUSY customer service. Like the worst. How anyone can take a great business and then ruin it by hiring a bunch of teenagers who clearly get high the entire shift instead of actually working is beyond me. The female working the counter, as in the one chosen to represent the company has no clue how to talk to people, how to answer basic questions (“do you have gluten free donuts available”), has no idea what is even on the basic menu, cannot understand simple and logical English, can’t speak clearly or loud enough to be hear over the counter, and couldn’t even convey “vanilla dip” to a coworker in the back. The only person with a clue was the barista. She was pleasant and politely tried to respond when the dingbat couldn’t get her brain to register. I felt like I was completely in another dimension and I didn’t get the memo to come in stoned or gorked out of my mind tripping on a drug before ordering a couple doughnuts!! Seriously. Also, at 8am in the morning, half the menu shouldn’t be sold out already. Just sayin. Gluten free doughnuts? Nope. Cronut holes or whatever they call them? Nope. I was told to come back in the evening. Last I heard, bakeries (or doighnut shops) bake in the morning since donuts are a breakfast food. I remember back in the day when people actually took pride in their jobs, managers trained coworkers properly and owners didn’t leave their business in the hands of a 17 year old. Clearly, this is a thing of the past.“

“A perfect location for breakfast at the edge of the Fremont Experience. Clean restaurant with a modern diner vibe. Great service and food!“

“Mooie plek, goede sfeer, nice people“

“I have been in customer service all my life and love it. I also like to acknowledge and share the great customer service experiences I come across or I am given. I have been to a Starbucks maybe 3 times total. I know REALLY!!! Yes really. I’m 65 and can count on 1 hand the number of times I’ve been to Starbucks. I’m not a huge coffee or tea drinker but I saw a special on the Albertson’s Store App for any Grande beverage. I decided to give it a try. Anjalea greeted me. I mentioned hadn’t used the Albertsons app for something like this before. She helped me with that. I mentioned what I was looking for, she asked a couple of questions regarding my preferences then says “I got You”. “ It’s one of my favorites”. She had a co-worker with her and I am so sorry I didn’t get her name. They were both extremely friendly, helpful and spot on for the drink I was looking for on this very hot day. Kudos to both these ladies. I felt welcomed, and the Paradise Drink that was suggested and then expertly made - well AWESOME !!! Doesn’t begin to describe it. Thank you and a big shout out to these ladies that gave me a great experience while at the Marron Rd Starbucks inside the Albertsons store. My UPS box is in same shopping center and I will be stopping in and ordering the Paradise Drink now. Take care, warm wishes and keep doing what your doing.Thank Again to Anjelea and her team mate.Pat“

“I love the coffee here. It’s the 3rd time I come with my mother and the ladies that work here always treat us well, even when when there are a lot of customers. The tables are always clean and the music it’s great and relaxing. I recommend coming here and enjoy the great view“

“I recently visited this Starbucks location and was pleasantly surprised. The store was impeccably clean and beautifully maintained, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. What truly stood out, however, was the exceptional service provided by the friendly and efficient staff. They were not only courteous but also went the extra mile to ensure a positive experience.

I highly recommend this Starbucks to anyone seeking a quality cup of coffee and a friendly, welcoming environment.“

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

“Nice atmosphere - new, clean, large open seating area, pleasant music playing - nice, kind, responsive employees - java and food were tastier than anticipated- even offered to serve my cafe Verona in a mug . . . yes please! Will be back to this location even tho Starbucks is not my thing.“

“great dining place. good food and great service.“

“healthy and delicious food. Good customer service 😋“

“This Starbucks is located inside the north oceanside Target. It’s very convenient to do some shopping here and get your coffee while staying out of this SoCal heat. They have some nice little tables and chairs between the Target entrance / exit and the Target checkout stands. The restrooms are on the other side of the entrance exit. The coffee is as good as any Starbucks. My coffee today was ready in just a few minutes after ordering. The barista was knowledgeable and precise with my order. I recommend this one. ☕️ 🎯“

“The people working here have wonderful customer service. I’ve only ever had good experiences. About a year ago on my late mom’s birthday, they had accidentally made my drink iced and not hot and were so gracious and friendly about remaking my drink which meant so much to me on a really hard day. I have continued having great experiences with this particular location.💚“

“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.“

“It’s addictive♥️ It’s fun to be there and drink Macchiato and eat apple pie😋“

“Caffeine run, picked up my Iced Mexican Mocha and a Blondie for my girl. Drinks are always dialed in with consistency, and deep flavor profiles. Love supporting our local oside small businesses. Let’s all do our part and keep them thriving. Thank you Black Rock crew!!!!!“

“We like this place, we keep coming back. This is a true authentic French place.
Today I just had an iced coffee and the smell and taste was good.
The service is excellent. Elena has an outrageous sense of humor.
The atmosphere is great with paintings from our local artist.
Support O'side!! And small local businesses.“

“I'm a big freshly baked bread guy. Stop going to local chain stores like Albertsons, Ralphs, Vons... Go to this french bakery for fresh, quality items like the Sourdough Loafs, Baguettes, and Croissants! They put better ingredients and love into their products.“

“NiNi was our server…she and the kitchen crew were exceptional! Nini was kind, happy, efficient and attentive. GREAT service and also…tasty food. Air conditioning wasn’t working but we still enjoyed the food and service! We had an excellent dinner. Thanks!!“

“Everyone at this Starbucks is always so friendly. I actually feel comfortable asking if they can specialize my drinks. They are very patient, kind, and willing to offer an opinion. I enjoy the interaction.

Shout out to Brendan who helped me at the window today (08/26)!“

“Mmmm 😋 the sweet smell and melt in your mouth YUMMINESS makes me feel like a child again“
