Great coffee and even better pastries! The Cinnamon Roll Coffee Cake is so good, but you should come try it yourself! Service was friendly and welcoming, and the overall vibe is fun and relaxed. If you’re looking for a great spot in Oceanside for coffee and pastries, this is it.

Still good coffee, but this place is not as good as previous visits some time back. Everything served in paper, even for consumption on premises. Staff suggested this was because doing dishes at high volume would be hard. (For $4 an espresso, buy, or hire, a dishwasher?) Shortbread cookies, which used to be mind bending, were undercooked.

The service here was okay and it’s a nice place to sit inside if you can get a table, but our coffees were disappointing. My americano and my husband’s latte were tasteless. Given that there are so many good coffee shops in the area, I doubt I’d return.

Wow, what a 5/5 spot! We tried drinks off the Winter menu and opted for the cinnamon roll cold brew foam on top. I found myself slipping back into the mannerisms of a 5 year old and only sipping the cold foam off the top, bc damn it was THAT delicious. Though my love of that cinnamon roll foam may lead you to believe otherwise, I don't love overly sweet coffee. The drinks here let the coffee shine first and are sweetened an appropriate amount. IMO, it rides that perfect blend for a coffee treat out! My husband and I split an avocado tomato toast and were surprised it came with 2 slices! For $13, 1 expected a single toast, so we felt that given the market norm - the 2 slices of sourdough with avo and tomato felt like a bang for our buck. (I KNOW, but late stage capitalism, ya know?) The sourdough was buttery and crunchy and the tomato and avo plentiful. The space was cute, service welcoming, and the whole vibe was very down to earth and low key. There were quite a few people studying and the other patrons in the space were respectful of the quiet vibe. There's outdoor seating out front for the more lively crowd too. There's playlist also had some great finds! 5/5, we'll be back again!

One thing to say: gluten free cinnamon rolls!!
They're a little more like a nice moist cake with cinnamon roll qualities like the icing, but its the best gf treat I have found around the area! (Sorry I ate it before I took the picture, I don't normally write reviews)

Great cup coffee. This was recommended by my wife. Staff is friendly and prompt. It shows its busy 10am but they were fast. I wish they had cups to relax and enjoy the coffee. I'll be sure to bring my mug next time 😊. They do have just about every table filled as people are meeting and working remotely from what I observed. Overall I would recommend even if you have to wait a bit for parking.

Coffee is good, food is good. I buy their beans every once in a while and they always taste great. My only gripe is they only do paper cups, so you get the slight taste of paper in the smaller hot drinks.
Great coffee & pastries
