Love this place, service is great and very fast. I was told wait would be 20 mins but it was under 10. Smaller parking lot, so be patient or go before 10am. Staff are nice and different staff to take order, bring out foods and clean your dishes. Must order Coffee Cake, it's soft and fluffy. Topped with glaze which is not overly sweet. 5/5 Killer Burrito comes with a side, which I recommend the potatoes. Homemade soft potatoes and great seasoning. Burrito has scoop of sour cream and guacamole on top. Second time ordering this burrito. 5/5 I wish this place was in Orange County read more

Beach Break Cafe - Inside - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oceanside, California

First time at Beach Break Cafe and everything was excellent. The staff was very friendly and our waitress helped with questions we had and very attentive to making sure our drinks were filled and we had everything we needed. Food was good. We ordered the Portuguese Linguica Sausage that came with 2 eggs, home style potatoes and upgraded the other side to a specialty strawberry banana pancake, the spicy chicken omelette with fruit and home style potatoes and 2 kids pancake meals. very reasonable price for a family of 4 We will definitely be coming back. read more

We hit up Beach Break Cafe for breakfast this morning and it was excellent. It has that great, friendly neighborhood service where you feel right at home. A few highlights: * Kid-Friendly: We sat on the patio which was perfect for the boys. The portions are generous, even for the kids' meals--the chocolate chip Mickey pancakes were a massive hit with our sons. * The Food: The corned beef hash was perfectly seasoned and tender. I highly recommend swapping the toast for a drop biscuit and gravy--it's a welcome alternate that pairs perfectly. We also tried the popular Banana Crunch French Toast; it lived up to the hype with great texture and wasn't overly sweet. The coffee cake was an warm balance between cinnamon crumb and most cake sweetened with just enough icing on top. * The Service: My coffee was never cold or empty until I finally told them I was finished. That's the sign of a well-run cafe. * The Bonus: Portions are so generous that we had the leftovers for dinner later that day. Who can say no to breakfast twice? Definitely a local gem. We'll be back! read more

Parking lot is small. Portions are a good size, but food was just okay. Restaurant is big, with outdoor seating and surf theme is cool. I've been here before and the food was amazing, but today it lacked flavor and wait staff weren't that friendly. Gave them 4 stars because of all of my experiences here, but my last trip was really just a 3 star. Coffee cake is a must and the killer burrito is my go to order. read more

There's a reason this place has reviews like that. I'm not a big breakfast food fan but this definitely made me one. The corned beef hash had GENEROUS amount of beef. Not overloaded with carbs. I loved every bite. And biscuits and gravy were phenomenal as well. The coffee cake is a little sweet but that's my personal preference. The cake itself was very moist. Would definitely come back every time we go to SD. read more

Beach Break Cafe - Corned Beef Hash and Eggs - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oceanside, California

I used to be a big brunch person but over the years I have had a lot of disappointing experiences. Now it's rare I go anymore. A friend had a doctors appointment she needed a ride to so I happily obliged. After the appointment she wanted to go get breakfast and this was her choice. I have always heard good things about beach break, but it's a little bit out of the way from where I live so I've never made it there. There was one space left in the lot when we arrived, perfect. When we walked in, it wasn't too busy there was plenty of seating and no line.. We waited a few minutes but it was fun taking in all the surf/skate decor. We were seated in a big cushy booth and coffee was offered immediately. We both obliged. The menu is pretty extensive so we did have a bit of a hard time deciding everything sounds so good. Prices are reasonable comparably. Our server came back to check on us multiple times while we were trying to decide. Finally, we decided to split the Greek omelet and for our two sides, we each got a piece of coffee cake that my friend had raved about. While we waited, I continued to look around at all the different memorabilia on the wall walls. It's very cool. Our food came quickly and it was very tasty. The omelette had just the right amount of tomatoes and herbs and cheese. While the coffee cake was absolutely as she had described. It was a nice size as well. Our server kept our coffee full and continued to check on us. All in all it was an enjoyable experience and I will definitely come back here for breakfast brunch again I can't believe I waited so long. read more

Three stars. Beach Break Cafe feels like one of those longtime local spots people grow up with, there's probably some nostalgia baked in. For us, it didn't quite land the same. Food was okay, nothing to complain about, and it came out quick which I appreciated. The gravy did taste like clam chowder which wasn't necessarily a bad thing, just different. Coffee showed up lukewarm though, and the service felt a bit off. Our server seemed distracted, had to ask twice for Splenda, and eventually just grabbed it myself. At one point, he clocked out mid-shift without a word. It's fine, in fact I had just told my wife prior, looks like a lot of people working and not many people to serve, they should make some cuts. I will say, the busser stood out, incredibly kind and went out of his way to make us feel welcome. Honestly, that was the first moment it felt like anyone really cared, so thank you for that. Hostess experience was mixed. We got seated, but no crayons for the kid, just a coloring page. I noticed a bunch behind the stand, so maybe you have to ask? She didn't seem too thrilled to seat us, though I did notice a warmer vibe with the next group. Also worth noting:, no changing table in the men's restroom. Overall, not a bad spot, just didn't feel particularly welcoming, and that matters as much as the food. The bathroom did have some cool murals in it and nice mosaic tile throughout read more

Love this place! It's an Oceanside staple! I get the Santa Fe omelette it has chorizo cheese avocado & salsa/sour cream on top, so delicious and so are the homestyle potatoes yum! It comes with a side coffee cake & I love that they always have tangerine juice. The breakfast is great I still need to try lunch items so I'll be back. read more

I'm very disappointed , I was really looking forward to a good brunch and classic favorites but this is not it . Soggy waffles biscuits, and gravy with no meat and a brown gravy sauce. But on the other hand, we did have two people ordered lunch things and they were good the chicken enchilada surprisingly the sauce was pretty damn good. And that burger was something I'd eat again , but breakfast never again ! read more

From the moment I walked in I felt like I stepped back in time. Lots of old surfing, memorabilia, including surfboards skateboards and pictures. Very cute place..We were seated right away. Friendly server. I ordered the huevos rancheros. First time I've ever had that dish and it was good. Hashbrowns came with it and they were very good, nice and crispy. Oh and the hot sauce on the table is very good. Excellent breakfast place. read more

I loved this place! Always passed by but my mom suggested going here on Tuesday around 11:30, busy but no wait. Ordered the corned beef with med eggs and a side pancake. WOW! They have 2 types of fresh homemade salsa and Tobasco! The salsas were perfect, the less spicy one cut some of the saltiness of the corned beef. I love fresh corned beef over canned and not too many places do it well, this one does it perfectly! The potatoes were perfect, too. Oh and the pancake was so good. Perfect salty/sweet combo. I don't usually care for pancakes but this was so fluffy and yummy. The surf ambiance was super cool and added to the fun vibe. Server was super nice and food came out at a reasonable time. Oh and the bathroom was clean and super cute with all the underwater painting. Can't wait to go back and take my husband! read more

One of the better breakfast options in Oceanside. Located right on HWY 101 it's not very far from the ocean and carries that casual, beachy feel to the restaurant. It's quite large on the inside with many different sitting areas as well as covered outdoor seating, which is where we sat for our breakfast. There is a large free parking lot in back so parking was really easy. Our waiter was also very polite and the service was very fast. Only downside was we had to wait about 30 mins to be seated for a party of 4 for our Saturday morning brunch. For my first visit I chose the Santa Fe Scramble and loved it. The chorizo was perfectly spicy and it was a large sized portion. I opted for the free Coffee Cake on the side and thought it was one of the best Coffee Cakes that I have had in a very long time. It was moist and full of cinnamon flavor and the glaze on top was warm and just mixed so well with it. I would not miss it! Overall a great breakfast spot. I don't drive up to Oceanside often but next time I do I would definitely consider eating here again and would recommend to anyone else in the area. read more

Beach Break cafe is a regular breakfast stop for me when I have been fishing in San Diego on my drive home. Great breakfast offerings. Friendly staff, cool surfing motif.

We came in on a Saturday morning at 9:30 am and we had a lovely breakfast. I had the veggie omelet with hashbtowns. It was a huge serving.

I would return if I am in the area again. read more

$20.56 (before tip) for 1 ABC omelette, no drink. Website pricing is wrong, dont trust it. Was almost $2 more in restaurant. Staff is friendly, but I definitely got left alone 95% of the time, only got checked on once. Bacon was really overcooked and the egg was almost crunchy. Not the best, thankfully not the worst. Would I come back? No, I dont think so. Hasbrowns were pretty flavorless, omelette was pretty small considering price. read more

Beach Break Cafe is one of my favorite restaurants in Oceanside. It has this beach relaxing vibes. There is always a waitlist, but it moves fast. There is a designated parking lot behind the restaurant. You can park your car in the neighborhood, if there was not available spots. The service was fast. The staff were very attentive and friendly. My family and I ordered many delicious dishes from their menu. We got; - Awesome Omelette 5/5 Scallops, bay shrimp, Crab, bacon, avocado, Jack and cheddar cheeses It came with two Sides of your choice. We got coffee cake and hashbrown. It is a must try if you like seafood -orders of biscuit & Gravy 5/5 - orange juice We also ordered Ham deli sandwich to go with Cole slaw and one more order of awesome omelette with coffee cake and biscuit. The food was extremely delicious and savory. Their coffee cake is one their signature. The biscuit was very fresh and flaky and Gravy was rich, creamy, and savory. We enjoyed our time there. It's a wonderful restaurant to start your day with and get positive energy. read more

Let me be clear: this review isn't about me. It's about my wife who is selectively picky in the way only someone who truly loves food can be declaring these the best carne asada tacos of her entire life. The carne asada was unreal. Juicy, loaded with flavor, and the corn tortillas were basically baptized in carne asada sauce. She hit the sauce bar like it was a tasting flight including a habanero salsa that snuck up on her like a tax bill. Freshness level? Off the charts. They were literally unloading onions off a truck while we were eating. A friend ordered a molita the little quesadilla-style one and it disappeared fast, so that should tell you something. Everything coming out of that kitchen looked and smelled like a win. They had to come back a second time before leaving. And of course, the only proper pairing: a glass-bottle Mexican Coke. Proud to say my wife now understands the importance of my foodie reviewing since she used yelp to find this place. read more

The menu has something for everyone, the service was friendly and fast and the decor is beach themed and really fun to look at. We will come back if in the area! read more

Wait time is not bad for a busy Saturday. It was raining and they accommodated us to be seated inside rather than the patio. Service is great. Everyone is great. Great food. We enjoyed everything.

We've been coming here for years now. Every time we are in the San Diego/Oceanside area this is one of our must go to spots. I tell all my friends who come down to check it out. Decor is so fascinating and paint job in the women's bathroom has yet to fade. Orange juice so wonderfully fresh. Still huge portions, excellent service and still well-priced. I could go on and on. Average wait times are about 15-30 mins depending on time you come and if it's an holiday weekend. The wait is ALWAYS worth it. My favorites are the omelettes and coffee cake. This is one of the few places that also serve Portuguese sausage that I know of. The menu and home-style cooking always bring me childhood nostalgia. read more

I'm going to start with food. Food was excellent, and so delicious. It was really big in size so definitely shareable or something to take home for leftovers. The Chile verde omelet was so flavorful and tasty. I ordered hash browns and coffee cake on the side as my choices, very filling. My husband got the banana crunch French toast which was huge and he ordered a side of bacon. It was good, and we had a lot of leftovers. We got seated outside because it was insanely busy. We got there around 10:30, got seated outside (covered patio) at 11, and it took about 15min to get our cup of coffee and waters. That's the only reason for the 4 star instead of 5 star because of the wait. It's definitely a beachy surfer vibe inside and reminds me of Hawaii! It was a chill atmosphere. Just don't be starving because you'll most likely experience a wait, but be hungry enough to eat a huge portion! read more
