    Crab cakes
    Ellena K.

    Cute little place in Oceanside. I loved the interior, tons of old pictures and decor. We stoped in for breakfast, had the pancakes and crab cakes. Both were pretty good, nothing super impressive. Service was very fast, especially for how busy they were. There was a decent amount of tables inside (and I think a patio), but I imagine it gets busy. I would love to come back for lunch or dinner. Menus had a pretty large variety too!

    Had a wonderful breakfast with my bestie at the Blue Agate. The place is very small with lots of ocean view windows. Lots of history on the walls of Oceanside. Tables are quaint with small jars with flowers on the table. We got there a little after 11:00 when they switch from breakfast to lunch. Even though it was past time, they still let me order breakfast. I got the chicken fried steak and it was delicious. It was a good portion but not too big and the steak was thin and crispy with peppery white gravy. Very delicious. The home made fried potatoes were really clean and cooked well. At first I just ordered sourdough toast but then I saw them deliver a big fluffy biscuit to another table. I asked the waitress if it was possible to get one of those instead if it wasn't too late. I offered to pay the difference but she said it was no problem. This was a light and freshly baked with jam and butter. Don't skip this if you go there. The company I was with, the view, the food and the service made this a highlight of my trip. Did I mention the beautiful beach is right across the street? Do not miss out on this amazing place. Your tummy will thank you.

    These are the nicest people! Great service, willing to chat when not busy. The food was great. I tried the Blue Agate fries which have cheese and pulled pork. The sauce was a little rich, but works with the fries. The chowder was good (but a little heavy on the black pepper). The fish tacos were awesome. And I love the berry lemonade. The shop is small, so prepare for a wait during busy season.

    Beautiful scenery.

    View is stunning right from the table and very friendly service. Also the food was delicious.

    Excellent for breakfast, next to our cabin, and across from The beach, location, location, location. The food was super yummy and big portions. We were not sure about the crab cake eggs combo but took a chance. It worked. The skillet potatoes were excellent, golden crispy outside and soft inside. Loved the biscuits, soft, warm, melted in each bite. Service was fantastic, family run business, the owner is lovely l, we had a nice conversation with her. They do have an outside patio.

    Perfect breakfast view. Crab cakes are lovely.

    Love this darling little cafe. Great breakfast, cozy setting. The waitstaff feel like they could be my auntie and the food is comforting and yummy. Parking is terrible as this is a teeny town.

    Steamer clams
    Mason Y.

    Nice friendly establishment that was one of the few restaurants open in the area. We had to wait 30 minutes for the breakfast menu to close out before they started serving lunch, but they communicated that very well I won't hold it against them. We had the crab cakes, steamer clams, and grilled rock bass. The steamer clams were a nice portion, but still had some sand in it. However there was a nice mix of onion and tomato broth plus buttered toast that it was quite satisfying. The crab cakes were a bit small for my taste and it felt like it could have used some more crabs. It was also a bit dense. The grilled rock bass was great - they ran out of rice but the side salad sub was not a bad choice. Overall, a solid place in the area!

    Country Benedict, country fried steak and view of the ocean
    Emily K.

    On our last morning in cozy Oceanside, we decided to try this local place near the beach access. It's small and weathered, but was a great experience. Our waitress and who we presume to be the owner was very friendly and shared even history of the place. We ordered a coffee, the country benedict, country fried steak, and an orange juice. The food was delicious! Huge portions. I will mostly think about those potatoes, which were both soft and crispy. The owner was proud to share everything was made from scratch, and you can tell. The orange juice did get missed in the order, but we didn't mind and the owner was kind enough to take it off our bill. It's a little pricey of a breakfast, but you'll eat good and you can't beat the cozy location near the water!

    Crab cakes with eggs over-medium
    Tim M.

    I definitely enjoyed the food here! Blue Agate is a small cafe right next to the beach, so you can fuel up and head over a few feet to the beach! The crab cakes are excellent, though I think they need more crab in them, and I think it would be amazing if they had a lemon glaze on them. But overall it's delicious. The breakfast burrito is excellent. Stuff with plenty of protein, and the size is pretty big, so you might want to share it if you eat less. Service is friendly and they seat you right away.

    Fish tacos were super good and fresh! All the ingredients were perfect. Crab cakes were some of best I've had. Great outdoor seating.

    Some of the best tacos I have ever had. Super fresh ingredients and flavors. Steamers were flavorful with tomato, onion, lemon and parsley.

    Is this cafe still open? We drove from Lookout Cape and were disappointed it was closed. Hours say it's open now but called ahead this time and no one answered.

    They are open, ate there today

    The short: This…read moreplace is what you see in movies, it was cozy local, and had awesome food. The vibe was honestly perfect, and I would go out of my way to come back The long: In good old Manzanita, there's this wonderful little spot for those that wanna have a drink and a good bite to eat. Welcome to poach 503. I was a solo diner looking for a bite to eat and stumbled upon this place and let me tell you it was packed 15 minutes after opening. Luckily, since I was by myself, I got to sit on the bar relatively quickly. As for the vibe, it was very homie cozy and honestly made you feel like you were part of the community. The lady that took my order was quick to answer questions and very straightforward, you could also tell that she knew all the locals by name and made a great conversationalist. I ended up getting a nice little hot chocolate wasn't the most adorable cup and sipping just watching the conversations roll by. As for my food, I got the Brekki sandwich which honestly melted in my mouth. It had an interesting tank to it, but that was part of the character that made it so good as for the potatoes that came with it they were fantastic. They had a nice mixture of Cajun and other spices(to my unknowing self). If anyone is in or near manzanita, I would definitely recommend as everyone seemed to be enjoying their drinks in a lively environment with some good food. Rating: 4.75/5

    This place was called Yolk when we had brunch here a couple months back. They do not take…read morereservations, we got there before they opened and there was a line already. We were the first group that didn't get seated when they opened and meant a 45 min wait. We were seated about 50 mins later. It was worth the wait. By the time we left, we were told the wait was more than 2 hours. We got French Toast with side of eggs, Florentine, and Lemon Ricotta pancake. I loved the Florentine, the hollandaise sauce was perfect. French toast and Lemon Ricotta Pancake were perfect. It was a great brunch.
