Awesome Food. Staff, definitely give this place a A plus!!! Got to try the coffee cake

Loved the Coffee Cake! The service was good. Bacon and hash browns were great. You may have to wait on the weekends but worth it.

Zell & Gary have made the Beach Break Cafe, the best place for Breakfast and lunch. The food is always great and we love the decor and the friendly staff. read more

Great food and service! Always a huge wait but it always moves quickly! So worth the wait and they provide coffee on the house while you wait. read more

Great breakfast spot to sit outside with the puppy! Never been disappointed with the food! My BF gets the country fried steak and loves it! read more

The banana crunch French toast was really good! Everything was fine not anything to write home about but generally good

Worlds best coffee cake, service is always with a smile and food is super delicious. Was our go to place when we lived in Oceanside, now living in Orange County it is still our go to place, worth the trip. Mitchell and staff are awesome!!!! read more

My friend recommended this place for our brunch before our disneyland trip so now it became a tradition to go eat here when we have LA trips from San Diego! Okay, not to exaggerate but everything here seems to be so good. Great Food, friendly staff, clean place & fast service! Oh whatever ur gonna get, i'm sure it will be good but coffee cake is a must get! read more

Very tasty food. They have a wide array of options. The only thing I didn't like was that our food came out very staggered but it's ok, it was all delicious. read more

Awesome food, and a cool vibe. This review is admittedly a year or so past due so my experience was pre COVID, but I imagine it'll still be applicable once we get past this COVID BS. Gotta love the surf decor and pots of self serve coffee while you wait. Will eat here again. read more

Breakfast has always been unbelievably good at beach break. You need to go and experience if you haven't already as you won't be disappointed as the menu is endless and will satisfy everybody in your group. read more

We stopped in one morning while on a cruise. We were pleasantly surprised good food and good vibes. It was a bit crowed for us but otherwise nice spot. read more

UPDATE 7/17/17: A few days after posting my review below I was contacted by Mitchell from the BBC family apologizing for our less than stellar service. He offered to have us come back in for another chance on them. I did not post the review to receive any type of refund or discount but, I must admit that I was unbelievably pleased to know that they are looking out for unsatisfied customers and went the extra mile to address my concerns. The hubs and I will be back in shortly to once again give BBC a well deserved second chance. Thank you Mitchell! A staple in Oceanside for many, many years, we've been several times and always had excellent food and fabulous service. The wait on the weekends is usually an hour minimum so we try to come during the week if we don't want to wait forever to get a table. We came here on a Wednesday right around noon and the place was packed but, the wait was only about 10 minutes. The server arrived to take our drink orders promptly after being seated and then a few minutes later to take our order. The food came out within 15-20 minutes and was piping hot and looked amazing....unfortunately, looks were a bit deceiving. My vegetarian Omelette was extremely over cooked making the eggs dry and the vegetables overdone. My husbands steak and eggs were also overlooked and not close to the medium he had requested. Our server was all of a sudden MIA so we didn't complain and just soldiered on. Fortunately our son fared better with his fish burrito and even though it was massive, he polished it down with a quickness. I also noticed that the generously sized coffee cake they are known for has done a shrinking act and is literally half the size it used to be. Here is the most disappointing part: while the server was friendly she came by non stop asking if we were doing okay and not in a good way. She had already dropped the check shortly after the food arrived assuming we would not order anything else. But, what if we had wanted a dessert or something? I could understand if they were super busy and she wanted to turn over tables quickly to make more money but, by the time our food arrived the place was half empty. Now here's the worst part; my husband was still in the middle of eating when she swooped in like a ninja and took his plate. Seriously, he had his fork in his hand when she came behind him in total stealth mode and literally his plate away before he could say anything. He was so shocked he didn't even react right away and get her to stop and he still had half of his meal on the plate. Needless to say this completely soured our experience but, I actually saw her eyeballing our table until my husband put his credit card down and then she beelined it to the table to check us out. Overall, not a good experience at all and I'm not sure we will return. There are just so many amazing brunch spots in the area that will appreciate our money and treat us better. read more

We were visiting Oceanside for a few days and some strangers we met at dinner highly recommended this restaurant. They did warn there was going to be a wait. We were patient and checked in after being advised wait was 35 minutes. After 35 plus and seeing others that came after us being sat we checked and they did not write my name down. The man said "...we called a Ron and someone came to be sat down". That explanation didn't make sense. But they did call a man named Kaden Raden so their methods are suspect. They immediately sat us on a 6 person table. Service was good. Waffle was good. Bacon was very very crispy. Wife loved the fruit provided. She did not like the vanilla coffee. Place is living on the reputation that it has established. Surf and skating decor was nice. read more

The food is just as good as it was when I first ate there 20 years ago. Clearly the family that runs the Beach Break cares about quality.

I live in LA & only come here once every few years and they never fail to disappoint! the food is amazing and the quantity is great, def recommend read more

First time here and it sure is a busy place. Love the variety of selections from their menu. They have covered outside seating as well a counter seating and a large dining area inside. Their waiting area is really cool with all the vintage skateboards on the walls. My 13 year old grandson just couldn't figure out what to order "too much good looking stuff to chose from" read more

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

Great food, fabulous service and a real neighborhood feel. Love coming here for brunch on the weekend

Horrible breakfast...second time in a row we've had a bad breakfast here...wait was not worth the effort. Nice surroundings but the food was not good and the prices a bit steep for our desires...we'll look elsewhere next time and leave this place to the locals... read more

They are currently conducting petty thief. They have sold gift cards, they collected money for these cards, but they won't accept their own gift cards for payment. They claim their new computer system won't read the cards, and provide no ETA for that to be fixed. It is their problem but they've put the monkey on the customer's back. I strongly recommend you take your business elsewhere. read more

We loved this place when we stayed down in San Diego area. You can grab a cup of coffee while you wait for your table and I HIGHLY suggest trying to book a reservation or call ahead (if they allow you) because it fills up quick but it's soooo worth the wait. The portions are huge and their customer service was exceptional. We will be back here every time we visit the area. Also, parking is sparse so be prepared to drive around the block. read more

I've been to the Beach Break Cafe in Oceanside, CA twice and it's amazing! Great food! Great service! read more

Outstanding! Every breakfast I've had here (4 to be specific) was great. Food is high quality and always has a wonderful spin on it. Love this place. And they are following all COVID protocols. read more

Enjoyed the 2 egg breakfast with toast and hash-browns-yummy! Hubby had the corned beef and hash and he said it was truly corned beef and hash, not the kind out of the can and folks "pass it off" as fresh and authentic. All and all, a great place for breakfast. It is on the list to try again. read more

We have been going to this restaurant for years. It's fresh food and gigantic breakfasts. The special treat is their coffee cake. Yummy. Oh yes and. Chicken fried steak read more

This place is soooo busy. Went by myself so getting a place at the bar was pretty quick and easy. But coming with a large party would probably be. Nightmare. The food is so delicious it should be illegal haha. Their corned beef is house made and so yummy. Everything is cooked perfectly and as a side you can have biscuits and gravy... yes please! The staff is casual and friendly. All around a good place to eat if your alone or willing to endure the wait. read more

Love the coffee cake! Always great service. My favorite is the veggie omelet...makes me feel less guilty about the coffee cake, and it's delicious. read more

This is probably my favorite breakfast restaurant that I have ever been to. They have a wide selection of items on their menu and have great service! The line is usually really long though because of the breakfast rush they're are not open that late. Customer service was also great. They didn't rush me even though there was clearly a long line of people. Parking is gone quickly since there are not many parking spaces. Overall, Beach Break Cafe is a great place to have breakfast for all ages! read more

Beach Break Cafe - Wife enjoying lunch at the Beach Break Cafe Only Only - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oceanside, California

The food was pretty good, pretty average diner food, except for the coffee cake which was awesome. Service was average, not bad by any means but nothing out of this world. I would go again for the coffee cake alone. read more

My friend and I made this our destination for our mid-morning motorcycle ride through the coast from Mission Beach and we were not disappointed. When we arrived around 1245ish we were almost immediately seated. Customer service was on par and staff was friendly. Our orders were promptly served, and it tasted delicious. My friend had their California Omelet and I had the Corned beef hash. We both had decided on the Coffee Cake after seeing the waiter serve them up to other patrons. May I tell you, it was the right choice. Cake was nice a soft and you can tell that it was baked fresh. Just trust me on this, I based my visit from the rating and reviews and it's on par. Go give them a shot. read more

Hungry for breakfast. Stop here! Local American diner with generous portions and kind waitstaff. Lots of eggs and pancake options. Plates so generous I needed to share. During a recent remodel, we ate get a few times and sent the extra food for lunch with kids. Great stop if you have gotten early to surf in O'side and you are looking for a generous helping of American breakfast. Friendly atmosphere a great bonus. read more

Overall, I was very impressed with this place. The servers were all very friendly and everyone was really chill and nice. All of the food and drinks were very reasonably priced, and the location is absolutely perfect. The only reason I did not give this five stars is because the dish I ordered had several issues with it, I would recommend this place. read more

Been a favorite place to dine since I was 8 years old. The food is always good and comes out fast despite the fact they're always busy. The atmosphere is incredible with surf boards hanging everywhere and a different coffee cup every time. I highly recommend the Frisco burger or strawberry French toast and no matter what you get, start with a piece of their amazing coffee cake. read more

There was a lot of crowd even in the early morning. The food was fresh and delicious. The staff was nice and cooperative. I recommend this place to everyone. read more

The coffee cake is to die for and the coffee is good and hot! Service and food is fast- great when you're hungry!

The portions are still big but the service the last 2 times we visited has been terrible. We love their coffee cake and breakfasts but sadly, will not be returning. Too far to drive for us to get lousy service. read more

Best French toast- Banana crunch is the all-time favorite. Whip Cream, cinnamon, crunchy topping. You can get a half order, for the calorie-conscious. Might be a wait but it's worth it. Parking is right so look around the neighborhood streets, a short walk but not too bad for the treat you're about to partake in. Gotta go you'll love it read more

What more do you want from a local Oceanside staple. Diner style and staff is always great!
