50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Oceanside

“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.“

“Delicious, comfortable spot.“

“Soo so good! Their dishes are unique and hearty! My favorite dish was the Eggplant. There was so much, it was shared among the three of us, one of which does not like eggplant… yet she loved this dish! The food was a nice fusion of Balinese and Western. They managed it perfectly! We can’t wait to try a few more of their dishes! Oh, and the dessert was heavenly! And to top it off, awesome 80s music in the background.🎶“

“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“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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. ☕🔥“

“We ordered the family meal to go and enjoyed the variety and flavors. Since there are only two of us, it provided several meals for us and we’ll definitely order it again! (The staff are also helpful and friendly).“

“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!!😋🥢🥠🍜👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾🤩“

“It’s in-n-out. I cannot think of a fastfood chain that’s more consistent than them. You know what you’re getting here. Also, as an aside, shout out to in-n-out for being basically the only chain of their ilk to not massively raise prices during covid.“

“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.�“

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

“The customer service is outstanding“

“Super fun atmosphere. Loved all the merch they had. Wish they had hand soaps, but they've only got the bar soaps.

I also wish they had pictures to accompany their menu. I suppose it doesn't matter too much. Bananas can be quite overpowering, so maybe many drinks are very much just banana 🤔
I'm not sure how I felt about my Blue Mylk, but the whole experience was fun overall. I'd like to come again and see if my theory holds any substance or there is a good variety of drinks to try.“

“Some of the best breakfast I've ever had.“

“I am Mexican , I usually go to TJ for tacos , but here these tacos are the best in this side of the border , the adobada has their piece of pineapple 😱“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“First time here. But we will definitely be back again. Food was great. friendly waitress. Big portions, had to take half home.“

“Excellent quality food and service . Chef Angelo does a great job and making true Italian food.“

“Definitely the best Indian Cuisine I've ever had, compared to a lot of Indian food restaurants across the US.....sooo delicious“

“les recomiendo los tacos estilo tijuana los jugos 100 frutas 😃“

“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.” 🧊“

“Oh this place is amazing!🥰I met this staff member named mary and she is lovely!😊 She goes into detail and gives me advice on what to get based on the menu. She knows her stuff when it comes to this job. Mary is a great person and staff member overall, she gets a 5 star rating as well. The smoothies are amazing and the PB&J chia pudding is oh so amazing!🥰love this location far more than other nekters I’ve been to!!🙏“

“After a long search I've discovered Julian Bakery's pea protein bar. Absolutely outstanding. These pea protein bars are the real deal. No artificial aftertaste at all—likely because the ingredients are actually natural. Just five ingredients, all high-quality, including premium cocoa. You genuinely feel like you’re eating pure health.

What really sets these bars apart is how easy they are on the stomach. Pea protein digests beautifully—no bloating, none of the heaviness you get with whey or sugar substitutes like sucralose. The sweetness comes from monk fruit, which says everything about their commitment to quality (it’s far more premium than stevia).

I have two a day—my favorite way to end a meal. My favorite bakery by far. They absolutely nailed it. No wonder they have a heart next to their name logo. ❤️“
