50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Oceanside

“This restaurant fills up quickly. But if you get there right and open, you don’t even need reservations. The staff is very laid-back but the food is super sophisticated. Be sure to order one of their desserts. It was my favorite part of the visit.“

“straight fire as far as fish and flavors all in all over the top 💯💯💯look forward to going back 🔥🔥🔥🔥👀“

“Great vibes! Great music! Great vendors! Great people! Great City!!! Oside!! #glowingitup #abcdesigns619“

“Delicious, comfortable spot.“

“Vegan comfort food so good you'll tell everyone you know about it. My wife and I had meatloaf sandos because we haven't either of us had meatloaf in decades and we both liked it when we did eat meat. Scott's (hey Scott) meatloaf isn't like your traditional meatloaf with granules of ground beef. Instead, it is more the texture of a fine dice of beef, and man, it is mind-blowing good! I hear the Reuben will make you want to move to Oceanside. I'd love to see what this place could do with a tuna melt. The fries are superior and, well, they nailed it. Love the 60s/70s counter-culture vibe and, of course, the surf undertone (it's blocks from the waves). The service is what you would hope for and holds a soupcon of joy behind it. Scott is personable and you can see his heart is in the food and the restaurant. Finally...calling all meat eaters! This place is the place for you. I used to eat meat. I too know the dissatisfaction vegan food can bring. In short, I am not unsympathetic. You won't be dissatisfied here. I wouldn't be surprised if you returned and brought other people. I've tried all the meat substitutes and this isn't like that. They got hold of something here and it's really good.“

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

“excellent service, delicious selection“

“We have enjoyed dining there. So, for a birthday celebration we ordered from the catering menu. We got a large butter chicken, small lamb masala, small naan, and a large basmati rice. The food was ready for pickup when we got there and everyone raved about it! Thanks Himalayan Bistro!“

“Amazing. Makes me feel like im back in La Patria all the way in SoCal. Definitely nailed the Colombian and Peruvian food down. This Colombian co-signs this place ✔️. Give them a try if you're looking for sensational South American style flavor all the way down to the music they play!!!!!!!! 🇨🇴 🇵🇪“

“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.“

“Birria Tacos are fantastic! Location fresh & lively and beers plentiful and delicious.“

“The customer service is outstanding“

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

“Usually In N Out is 5 star for quality of food, price, and service. Tempted to give 3 stars for this visit alone.

Our visit: friendly cashier, but maybe spending too much effort on being too nice. Missed a burger we ordered. Of course, a little fault on our part cuz they most likely read off the order to us.

In addition to the missing burger, another burger was totally off when we got home- 3x3 (paid for it too according to receipt) we ordered was a double double and wrong toppings.

So 2/5 burgers messed up. Not a great ratio.

But In N Out is solid all around usually, so I guess 4 stars is OK.“

“The food here is reminiscent of the flavors of the Thai food restaurants in Thai Town of LA. That’s a very good thing. Meaning that the food is cooked more Thai style, not Chinese style. Love it.�“

“Handel’s is hands-down the best ice cream around! Creamy, rich, and packed with flavor, I never knew ice cream could taste so good. Huge portions, amazing variety, and friendly service make it a must-visit every time I’m in the area. The only place where brain freeze is totally worth it.” 🧊“

“Visiting LA with the intention of trying a new coffe shop and omg google maps suggested me this place!

[5/5] Dirty Banana Mylk: blended to perfection, not too sweet, well balanced!

I wish they have this in Sacramento but well done!“

“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!!“

“I recently visited Stratford at the Harbor in Oceanside with my wife and two daughters, and we had the best dining experience ever! The location is perfect, right by the water with breathtaking harbor views that set the perfect ambiance for a family evening out. The food was absolutely delicious—everything we ordered was fresh and bursting with flavor. My daughters couldn't stop raving about their meals, and my wife and I were impressed with the diverse menu options. Our server was incredibly attentive and made sure we had everything we needed, from recommendations to making sure our drinks were always topped off. The atmosphere was welcoming and family-friendly, yet it still felt like a special night out. We’ll definitely be coming back again and recommending Stratford at the Harbor to all our friends and family. A must-visit if you're in Oceanside!“

“Great food. GREAT Drinks! Rebecca is awesome!“

“Excellent food and Excellent customer service. I brought my my mom here for dinner. It is my second visit. The owner knows her menu. She doesn't even write your order down. Omg...the food is so fresh and delicious!!😋🥢🥠🍜👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🤩“

“Portion sizes were good, the chicken and carnitas were good, the al pastor didnt taste like anything tbh. They put lettuce on the tacos, and guacamole which for most is a plus but for me wish they’d mentioned it on the menu before i ordered. I wanted a burrito but they make them weird missing the things i want (rice beans cheese with the meat) and adding things I dont generally go for (lettuce salsa fresca guacamole)

Its authentic but whitewashed, like the menu caters to the oceanside surfers rather than latinos who want an authentic tj taco. Overall it was decent but not my top tier favorite.“

“On vacation staying at an Airbnb in Oceanside California. Went to Buccaneers for breakfast burritos to take back delicious. Bacon and egg and sausage and egg. It's a small shack off the road with a lot of people ordering, picking up and eating. And boy was it delicious. Big burritos could have split one but enjoyed it the next day for lunch 😋. There were 5 of us and everyone loved them,!“

“Smallish restaurant with tiny parking lot of about 10 spots shared between 3 businesses. Like the roll up garage door windows, lots of outdoor picnic bench seating under shade canopies (which we couldn't use on this rainy day). Beer selection is pretty good, we had the meat lovers 12 inch pizza and liked the thin crispy crust, a bit skimpy on the toppings but tasty enough.

Parking: I think 10 spots between 3 (?) businesses in this very small strip mini mall.“

“Amazing coffee - bold and smooth. Kind, joyful great humans! Love this place. Come visit, you’ll be so glad you did!
We are back again this morning. Flat white and a delicious pumpkin cream cheese muffin for me, house drip and a delicious almond croissant for my hubby. The coffee is perfection here, no matter what is ordered. Jason carefully and thoughtfully asks enough questions to be able to make each drink to perfection. He even got the tiny bit of raw sugar in my flat white perfect. I’m so impressed. Be sure to find Camp Coffee and their awesome crew whenever you visit O’side. It’s a real treat.“

“Great customer service that went above and beyond. Taking inspiration from a video and creating something 💯 better this team helped to make a memorable weekend for a great group of people. Working through emails we were able to coordinate the exact design as well as someone to pick up and deliver the cake. Thank you! The cake was better than I imagined!“

“The food is so good, fresh and delicious typically Indian food.“

“Ordered this via DoorDash and wow! Probably the best and most flavorful bún đặc biệt I’ve had in a long time. The noodles were perfect, the meats were tender, and the herbs and veggies tasted super fresh. The portion was generous. Definitely my new go-to spot for Vietnamese food!“

“Just got their VEGAN sweet potato pie, and it’s DELICIOUS. Been eating plant-based for 14 years and this is the best vegan sweet potato pie I’ve had. 🧡“

“We enjoyed our two curry dishes and the papaya salad.

For us, the papaya salad was too fish sauce strong, it was good, but overpowering.

We enjoyed the beef curry and our tofu kabocha curry. Perfectly flavored, a 5/10 is genuinely a five, and the portions were great with just enough to bring home leftovers.

As a group we enjoyed the ribs appetizer, but the beef was tough and overcooked. Flavorwise the ribs were great, but chewy.“

“Wow! This is exceptional Thai food. The flavors are layered to the point you taste each one.“

“healthy and delicious food. Good customer service 😋“

“If you like cronut style donuts Parlor Doughnuts is a must try! I consider myself a donut connoisseur and this place is top notch!! The Sandy Beach and Vanilla Frosted sprinkle were the top crowd pleasers. Peanut butter and blueberry amazing as well.“
