The service was great, and the place had a great vibe. The food was just OK in my opinion. You can tell the people inside were regulars and it was a popular place for most. I loved the biscuits, but the gravy was saltier than I prefer. I did enjoy our server she was very kind. read more

It's our first time here, super friendly service our server Sarah was great. Food was unbelievably good, we were thinking it would be just okay.Its cutely decorated surfer style, with real surfboards hanging from the ceiling . Only thing that would make this place better would be they served booze. read more

This lovely hangout was sprinkled with locals, always appearing good sign. The menu was vast, and my "Amazing" omelet lived up to its billing. Son wolfed the chocolate chip pancakes AND eggs and bacon, and my bride savoured an epic-looking veggies scramble. Our waitress stopped by frequently to top off coffee in massive mugs, check in that all was well, and make sure we were as satisfied as we appeared. The patio was lovely and the food amaz - no, AWESOME! read more

Amazing! We visit Oceanside 1-2 times each year and have somehow missed eating at BBC. That will never happen again. Our inaugural visit was Super Bowl Sunday morning around 11:30am and we had a very short wait...maybe 10 minutes. There are different seating options: booths, round and rectangular tables, and bar seating. It is roomy and easy to get around. It almost seems there could be a couple more tables squeezed in but it all felt good and easy to walk by to get around. The food!! They have a pretty good list of items to choose from with breakfast and lunch options. Everyone should be able to find something their liking. We ordered the chile verde omelette/hash-browns, mahi mahi burrito with chile verde sauce, mushroom burger/fries, corned beef breakfast, and 2 sides of coffee cake (huge slices) was chosen. I read something about BBC being known for their coffee cake. We could see why. The flavors were amazing. My son said it was all clearly made with love. I'm not sure I could explain it any better. I didn't see anything out of place on any of our plates. Food was overflowing and just tasty. The brewed ice tea was flawless. That will definitely bring me back. Our server, Christine, seemed to know what we needed. We asked for salsa and she brought out a homemade salsa and hot sauce. She also finished my sentence regarding a to-go cup for my tea. Everyone seemed happy to be working there and together. They were just all in concert. The place was clean and very cleverly decorated in a surfer style with hanging surfboards and skateboards. The bathroom was the best. Very clean and super cute ocean painted walls/ stalls. read more

Beach Break Cafe was a classic Oceanside diner experience full of surfing treasures and history. The food came out in generous portions and the host and waitress were kind and accommodating. The overall feel was a comfortable local establishment which is much more appealing than a traditional tourist spot. I would love to visit again. read more

Wow, what a great place service was awesome. Food was delicious and so much we split it. The coffee there was so delicious that after 3 cups my husband and I took a cup to go definitely recommend it if you're in the area. read more

Dined here again last weekend for our anniversary brunch, and it was heavenly. Hubby and I split the ABC omelette and we each got a potato pancake, mine was "loaded"...YUM...hubs also got his fave: biscuits and gravy. Every single thing about the food was ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. Very rich, decadent, filling, and memorable. The coffee cup they served me was from the city we took our honeymoon in, 33 years ago...and our wedding song even played (yes, the Oldies, ha ha) while we were there. What are the odds??? Our waitress was very smiley, which is so refreshing these days. It was just a great experience. The ONLY downside: the coffee. Could've been a fluke, but the decaf was bitter, so my next cup I got "regular"...and it tasted "burned". Next time I'll just skip coffee. Other than that, very delightful. Thanks, BBC! read more

Love BB! Great food, casual beach atmosphere and homely. Their service was great as always from hostess to server. Visited on a weekend mid-morning, wait was 20 minutes. Sat and server quickly took our beverages. Server was super friendly and checked in on us a few times for refills etc. during our visit. Ordered a waffle, kids Mickey pancake, Santa Fe and Chili Verde omelette, all were really good and flavorful. We love their home style potato's and harbor sauce! It's the best. We visit here often and it's our top breakfast spot. read more

Beach Break Cafe - Chili Verde omelette w/ corn tortillas and home style potatoes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oceanside, California

So so good!! Been here several times and ordered from here " to go" for their "Weekend Seafood Benedict" for years prior. It's better in person. Their menu is extensive. Friendly service. Always busy. It's like a Surf Memorabilia Museum upon walk in. Complete with Surf videos on showing different stunts. Never a dull moment here. Great coffee, iced water with lemon, fluffy pancakes for the kiddo. I get something different every time. Today my son had a double order of bacon, some cold press OJ and fluffy pancakes with butter, syrup and powdered sugar on the side. I had their Awesome Omelette paired with coffee cake that taste so soft and flaky yet ooey gooey delicious like a cinnamon roll with perfectly crisped hash browns. We loved it once more. Even our Dalmatian Mister Raffi approved upon eagerly receiving the leftovers. *Update: I also included pictures of my Seafood Benedict and the Surf memorabilia... plus a dish I had last week Huevos Rancheros with their breakfast potatoes. All in all we've been there 3x in one to 2 weeks. Our favorite breakfast place in "South O" South Oceanside. A South Oceanside tradition since 1988. read more

Everything was great here!! First off great service, very kind and helpful staff. They had my to go order ready to go with no issues. Their food is top notch!

Beach Break Cafe is one of those places that just feels good to walk into. The staff is always welcoming and upbeat, and you can tell they care about the people coming through the door. The food was fresh and hit the spot, and the portions were solid. It has that relaxed beach vibe that makes you want to slow down and enjoy your meal instead of rushing out. Great service, great energy, and definitely a place we will keep coming back to. read more

Every time I come home I try to get out here for breakfast, but I am not a morning person, so I never make it. But this year my brother and I made it a point to come, so on a Wednesday around 10:30 am we were seated. Our waitress was Alyshe and she was great. I am from the south so I always have to try Biscuits and Gravy if someone has them. I will say I was not disappointed. The gravy was tasty and the biscuits soft. My brother had the short stack pancakes with bacon and eggs. Huge pancakes. He kept saying "this is too much I can't eat it all", but would then say "it's so good I can't let it go to waste". LOL I forgot to mention that the coffee was very good. I must have had three cups. So now I can check this place off my bucket list. I will have to come back for lunch next visit home.

This is a great restaurant! It's been around a long time and the food is consistent. Delicious and you get a bundle of food!!!

So this was the first time that I came to this restaurant. I live in close proximity to this area and I never knew this place was here. It's very cute. It's a very surf-like if you're into surfing. There's quite a few cool pictures and things that are up in the little cafe that are super cute. They have an extensive menu, breakfast and lunch that well exceeds what is expected of this little cafe. I had an egg and some cottage cheese only because I'm on a restricted diet. However, it was good. The people in my party had BLTs and things of that nature and they looked incredible. All the food is incredible. Here the vibe is excellent. They are only open till 2:00 p.m. they have on-site parking so you don't have to park on the street and the service was excellent. It's a really cute place to come for a weekend breakfast and the prices are reasonable. read more

So I'm not a huge fan of breakfast but this place is quite exceptional. It wasn't super busy when we arrived (a little before 8:30 on a Saturday morning) but started to get pretty busy by the time we finished our meal. I got the minced ham scramble with cheese, breakfast potatoes and coffee cake. Also got hot chocolate. My husband had chicken fried steak and coffee. He said the coffee and chicken fried steak were really good. My ham scramble was great - eggs weren't runny and the cheddar jack cheese was perfect with it. The hot chocolate had a hint of cinnamon in it and was surprisingly delicious. Service here was excellent and I would 1000% recommend it to anyone looking for a good breakfast spot. read more

Come here early! The lot was already pretty full right before 8am on a Sunday. Service is pretty quick with how busy they were. Thankfully they spot looked fully staffed. Our waiter was a young kid and very polite and attentive. We had viewed photos beforehand so we knew we'd be going with the chicken fried steak breakfast. The omelettes that were being served around at other tables looked beyond huge and tasty! The steak was crispy and hot! The gravy was so tasty and seasoned very well. I'd have to say this is one of my top spots for chicken fried steak and I only have two. The coffee cake was a great addition to our meal. Started with salty and ended up with some sweetness. My fave combo. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. The tables were clean as well as the restroom. It can get a little loud inside as to how crowded they got around 8. read more

Brunch spot that hits the spot! Vibes here are homey and great. I came in a group of 4 on a Saturday morning around 11am. It was packed and I thought we would have to wait at least an hour. To our surprise, we only waited 15 minutes or so! What we ordered: Awesome Omelettes: one of the best omelettes I've had in a while. The shrimp inside makes the omelette so much tastier than normal. Corned Beef Hash: standard corned beef hash with tasty potatoes. The egg on top helps with the texture. Banana Crunch French Toast: recommend as a plate to share! These have a crunchy layer of oatmeal, which makes the texture so much better. Fish Tacos: loved these. They were fully loaded tacos, and the mahi mahi was not too dry. I also ordered a hot chocolate, which was normal, but loved that it had all the fixin's (whipped cream and sprinkles). read more

Beach Break Cafe - Chicken fried steak and eggs and Potatoe pancake - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oceanside, California

All good......a bit noisy. Great service.....fruit cup a bit soggy? Parking s bit of a problem.

Service was awesome and so was their food! Omg so glad I was able to come across this place, thanks to Yelp and all the great reviews. We arrived and only had to wait 15 mins to get seated. Our server was very friendly and their food portions were generous. I got the veggie scrambled with house potatoes and you can choose coffee cake or toast, it was a lot of food but it was soooo good. I have to say the veggie scramble was probably the best I ever had, I never had broccoli in eggs and wow it was delicious, loved their house potatoes mixed with the peppers. Overall great food and I highly recommend. Clean bathrooms, great service and food. I would come back again when I visit this area. read more

My wife and I stopped by this morning and had the perfect breakfast - huevos rancheros for her and avo toast with perfectly cooked over medium eggs for me + delicious, moist coffee cake.

The world needs more people like Sarah. Thank you Sarah for making our day!! read more

On our way from San Diego to Magic Mountain we stopped here for some breakfast. The food was really good, I got the ON Fire scramble with potato pancakes and coffee cake, the wife got a Greek omelet and my kiddo got eggs and pancakes. The restaurant was clean and well maintained and they keep people moving in and out efficiently, getting told 15 minutes and only waiting 5 is a big plus for a hungry party of 9. But for me it's the service that killed it here Molly was the name on the receipt and she was amazing, was great with the kids, got everyone refills, brought every sauce imaginable to the table and even cracked a couple of jokes. Live in the area or traveling through stop and eat here. read more

Food was tasty and eggs were cooked as ordered (over easy). Service was pleasant. I sat at the counter, which is waist height: the + is that the seats are chairs, not stools. The - is that the view is then often the servers' butts. I would go back of in town again. read more

Beach break is my absolute favorite breakfast place. The service is always great, the food is always delicious and it's located in a fun area. My absolute favorite is the corned beef hash with a side of coffee cake with vanilla or regular coffee. The combination of the salty and sweet is perfect. Banana crunch French toast is also delicious. If you visit, don't sleep on that homemade coffee cake. It's served warm and with fresh frosting drizzle. You usually get to choose that rather than toast, even if you get it to go it's a must have. read more

Our go-to brunch when we're in the area. Food is good and fulfilling before heading back to LA. Cornbeef hash and egg is just right, not too salty. The pancake sandwich is good. It's like a deconstructed sandwich but with pancake. Coffee cake is a must. It's delicious. You can taste the coffee. Depending on the time that you go, parking can be tough. You can park in the neighborhood and walk. Wait time will depend, too. But worth the wait, imo. Service is quick, too. Will definitely come back again. read more

Probably one of the coolest California surf/beach inspired cafes on the southern west coast. Skateboards (even several metal- wheeled ones) and surfboards (some valuable collectors) and pictures (mostly surf related) on the walls, ceilings and shelves. A very beach-vibed ambience and crowd. Oh, the food was good too. Dicks read more
