Came back with my husband and had to update my review. I feel like Banana Dang has leveled up or…read moresomething. Much better vibes and friendlier staff. Food and drinks are still good. I tried the Green Fire, which was really yummy. Also had a cappuccino. This has become one of my favorite spots when I'm in Oceanside. I just love the art, the chillness, the banana-theme, the community flavor. This time I saw they had some free stickers and a sheet with recommendations for other businesses to check out in Oceanside. Super cool. See you next time BD!

I love their Banana Iced Shaken Espresso! It's a different combination that I would never think to…read morehave, but the banana pairs perfectly with the espresso. The baristas are friendly here and prepare your drinks with much TLC. It has seating on the inside. There is art on the walls along with an area of merchandise that can be purchased. Tote bags, tee shirts etc. When I want something different from an ordinary latte, I come here. Also, you can order this drink half-sweet if that suits you. The only downside is that parking is sometimes difficult. However, with that being said, if you've never tried the banana- espresso combination, this is the place to do it!

To my shame, I've walked past Pier View so often, not even giving it a thought of consideration, as I judged the place by its exterior alone. It just didn't look vibey enough. That all changed on our most recent visit...After walking a couple miles to a completely different coffee shop, hubs and I found it closed. Bummer. The next closest place was Pier View. I hesitated. But I was desperate for a pick-me-up. We walked inside. "Oh wow, it's so spacious in here. And the girls working here look... cool...", I thought. We placed an order for a couple featured drinks and a lunch sandwich. Let me tell you. Everything was PHENOMENAL. It was SO GOOD we came back the following morning and brought the rest of our family to try our exciting find. Same amazing quality coffee, plus another amazing sandwich (a breakfast one this time). I literally cannot wait to go back to Oceanside because of this place.

Parlor Doughnuts in Oceanside is hands down the best donut spot in town. From the very first bite…read moreyou can taste the quality, freshness, and creativity in every donut. The layered dough is perfectly soft, buttery, and crispy at the same time -- unlike any regular donut. Every flavor we tried was absolutely incredible, especially the French Toast and Churro. You can truly tell they put passion into everything they make. The service was just as amazing as the donuts. The staff was welcoming, friendly, patient, and made the whole experience feel warm and inviting from the moment we walked in. Even when busy, they kept a smile on their faces and treated everyone with kindness. The location is beautiful and perfect as well, right in the heart of Oceanside with such a great atmosphere. Whether you're grabbing coffee in the morning or treating yourself after a beach walk, this place feels special. Parlor Doughnuts is more than just a donut shop, it's an experience. Easily the best donuts in Oceanside and one of the best dessert spots in all of San Diego County. Highly recommend to anyone visiting or living nearby.

Yes, I'm a nerd. A nerd who watches entirely too many cooking competition shows. So that's the…read moregrain of salt you can take this review with. My fiancée & I had seen Parlor Doughnuts numerous times after the Oceanside Sunset Market. & every single 1 of those times, we were already too full from grazing at all the food stands by then to give it a try. So on a Saturday afternoon, when we just happened to be nearby, we popped in for some impulse buy doughnuts. With a staggering variety of delicious looking toppings/ flavors, the possibilities looked enticingly intriguing. Staff behind the counter was friendly attentive, & helpful. Although there are some savory options available, which seemed to me like pizza toppings on doughnuts, we stuck with sweet: maple bacon & bourbon caramel. Tried & true flavor combinations, both. But the dough, whoa. For starters, the 2 doughnuts we got didn't have holes. That actually makes a difference in how the doughnut cooks. Secondly, the dough ate more like bread dough than a doughnut. Doughnuts have a hole for a reason. You see, it's physics, son. When you consider how thermodynamics affects an oblate spheroid vs. a toroidal sphere, it becomes evident that a doughnut without a hole will not cook evenly throughout inside. In fact, this was specifically proven on MasterChef Canada Season 8, Episode 8 during a doughnut pressure test. In that episode, Andres forgot to put holes in his doughnuts & they were undercooked in the center. Hey, I did start this review with admitting I'm a nerd who watches too many cooking competition shows. Uniform doneness aside, there was also the breadiness. If I'd been told these doughnuts were some kind of new take on Pan Dulce, maybe I would've liked them more. But given the expectation of a doughnut, what I tried at Parlor Doughnuts just wasn't it. The staff was great, & the toppings were fine. But with the word "dough" literally in the name of the product, to come up short there leaves something to be desired.

Somewhat limited seating inside, no more than 30 seats probably. 3 outlets available. Wifi and bathroom available. The only downside I would note is the noise level is a bit on the higher side even with noise cancelling headphones, difficult to study or take meetings here. It's much more of a social or grab and go coffee shop. The offer discounts for teachers, first responders, and transit workers as it is conveniently located across the street from Oceanside Transit Center.

Sunday morning at 9:15am, the drive thru seemed to move much faster than for those dining in. Our food was delicious. The breakfast sandwich hits home, and the ham and cheese croissant is always crisp and buttery. The pistachio croissant is another favorite, it never disappoints. Our drinks were a different story. I waited 30 minutes for my cortado - which tasted absolutely horrible. It was burnt and awful, I couldn't bring myself to finish it when I tried.. The mint iced coffee was off too (we've had better at other locations).. Other people (before and after us) were growing furious and impatient. While the person at the register was friendly and kind - the speed and turn around time for drinks was lacking. There seemed to be no sense of urgency even as the line inside grew longer and longer - both the line to order and the line at the pickup counter. A family of four was seated at a table when we walked in. When we left, I noticed someone from that particular table walking up to the pickup counter still waiting for their drink... If I waited 30 minutes for my drink, how much longer did they wait? Yikes! It might've been an off day, who knows, but it was pretty terrible. All in all, while the food is good and the location is convenient - I will probably stick to ordering items on the menu vs. ordering something like a cortado for any future visits.

That is a common sense right?!! I guess not for her. To make things worse, after going to the front and asking for utensils, they handed me cheap plastic ones.
