Beautiful romantic view of the Pacific Ocean. Good food, but a small menu! They close at 2pm on the Friday that we went in December 2018! Prices are a bit on the high side for the portions, but tastes very good! The waiter was friendly and attentive to us! read more

Thank you, fellow Yelpers for sending us here. Almost passed it up, because no one was in there. It was the dinner hour, and I think they are known for breakfast/lunch. The service was (of course) excellent :)... But the food was amazing! House made manicotti filled with shrimp and fresh bay crab...ricotta was balanced with garlic and Parmesan, and the bechamel on top was bubbly and browned in the edges.... Best seafood manicotti ever! It was so good that we decided to try them out for breakfast the next morning. Did. Not. Disappoint. The crab cakes are among the top five I've ever had in my life, and the red potatoes were perfectly crisped and seasoned... It's a family affair here, and the service is perfectly casual friendly, as you'd expect in a surfer community. I look forward to my return to Oceanside, and this perfectly perched bistro overlooking the three arches... read more

We wanted to support a local business during this pandemic...as well as being tired of our own cooking. So after seeing signs in the window that they are open for take out Wednesday through Sunday 8-3, we called in a lunch order. Wow, just wow! My chicken and bacon melt on grilled sourdough with Apple pesto was delicious (especially the Parmesan cheese on the grilled bread). My husbands sandwich was chicken/bacon/avocado and he loved it. Your breakfasts have always been excellent, so now can't wait to try your tacos and other goodies. We are sorry you have not gotten payroll or stimulus help like many others, so knowing you are working hard to serve folks is fantastic and much appreciated. read more

solid 3 stars. with all the hype of this place and the great reviews. I was not that impressed with the food. the gravy they made was very bland which took away tremendously from the meal I had. although I can not remember the name of the dish I had. but it was basically an eggs Benedict and sub out the hollandaise sauce for a sausage gravy. maybe this place all had 5 star reviews because this area does not offer much for good breakfast restaurants. I would go back, but not with high expectations. read more

Nice place in Oceanside with a view of the beach. Glad we picked the Blue Agate over the two other cafes on this street. Great, friendly service. I think the two guys who run the place are twin brothers. The breakfast burrito was really good. can share it amongst two people if not too hungry. read more

A hidden gem for sure! Amazing clam chowder and seafood. Everything is fresh and tastes spectacular. The seafood melt was to die for and the fries were super crunchy and tasty. The food just melted in your mouth and the service was really good. The people were really nice and always checked up on you. The view of the beach is awesome too. read more

The view is incredible. The food is great! Crab cakes are awesome! Owner and staff were very friendly and welcoming. Great stop along the coast read more

Found this gem on our drive on the Three Capes Scenic Drive along the Oregon Coast. Cute spot with an amazing view. I ordered the crab and shrimp melt with a side of chowder - delicious! My husband had the pork tacos, which also were tasty. read more

Opens at nine in the morning for breakfast. Some good views if you sit at the best tables. Oldies music on the ancient radio. Relaxed and convivial atmosphere. Plenty of breakfast choices, but the coffee is a little weak and won't give you much of a kick. My wife had the seafood scramble and I had the house special, which is crabcakes with eggs and potatoes. Both dishes are extremely filling and tasty especially when you throw in a giant homemade white flour biscuit with butter. We were full most of the day after consuming these enormous breakfasts. But we did get a bit of a tummyache so be aware of what happens when you go overboard with the delicious potatoes. Friendly service. Reasonable prices. See photos below of our two dishes. read more

Just love love love this place. I had been here 2 years ago and was just talking about this place not knowing where is was and this morning we were looking for breakfast and got the runaround from others that weren't open and then....ended up at this place. Super surprised and happy that we found it again. Must have been fate. The food is incredible and the coffee is AMAZING!!! 10******* read more

Delicious food and great service. This little cafe by the beach serves all classics with seafood touch. You don't feel like eating out, but in your aunty's house. Very friendly with spectacular view! read more

Lovely outdoor seating with great food!! I'm gluten free and dairy free and found the crab omelette was delicious and fit the bill! Service was good. Clean restrooms. Highly recommended!! read more

We had an amazing breakfast! I was so pleased w/ the Pacific scramble-seriously the best breakfast dish I can remember eating (& I go out to breakfast a lot in Portland:)-very flavorful! My husband also enjoyed his crab cakes w/ eggs. The staff was very kind & accommodating-our waitress was extra helpful. We ate on the back patio & felt quite safe. Highly recommend read more

Great food! I love to sit outside on a sunny day with my pup! The BLT is a classic and delicious. The food never disappoints.

Diamond in the rough, Absolutely the best crab and shrimp melts I have ever had. I will go out of my way to eat here from now on.

Such a vibe! Amazing breakfast with a beach view and the kindest staff. Homemade biscuits are a must try!

Perched high above Oceanside beach, this little charmer has a memorable crab melt. A bit spendy but worth it. Check hours during covid.

Really great family owned restaurant. Such a nice family that runs it too. Whenever my husband and I come to Oceanside we have to stop here. Their pork tacos are to die for! Love their great white breakfast burrito too. Right up from the beach too, couldn't have a better location. I have a seafood allergy and they are so good about accommodating that too! read more

Always great food, excellent atmosphere and sea air! What more could you ask for??Fish and Chips

Such a cute place! The staff was very friendly and catered well to my kids with coloring materials. Everyone in my group (4 adults, 3 kids) loved their meal. The seafood was fresh and well-prepared. The presentation was lovely. Even the fries were delicious! Not an "ocean view" if you're sitting on the back patio, but still a wonderful restaurant in every other way! read more

Great setting, and all of our food was very fresh and delicious. I really enjoyed the Seagarden sandwich. Good service and kid friendly.

This was a gem we found wandering the coast. It is small but delivers in big flavor. The rockfish was amazing. I had the Chicken Bacon melt and was blown away. The pesto on the grilled sourdough bread was addictive. If I lived closer, this would be a favorite spot! read more

This place is perfect! Small but the food is really good and inexpensive!! Perfectly located next to the beach!!

I had some time to kill while waiting for a ride, so I chose the Blue Agate Cafe to get a bite before hitting the beach one last time. I'm glad I did! Highlight was the Rockfish tacos. 2 to an order and they were delicious. Not spicy at all. Some hot sauce would be nice...but they definitely stood on their own without any. I also ordered an Arnold Palmer and I can honestly say it's the best one I've ever had. If you are deciding where to eat in Oceanside, I would easily recommend Blue Agate. read more

Awesome Food! Best Clam Chowder! Love the little warm cafe beachside feel! A must see, taste and feel!

I think this place used to just be open for breakfast and lunch, and now does dinner based on the reviews...? We went for dinner and it was pretty disappointing. The chowder was luke warm and did not taste fresh. We also got the Seafood Sampler, which was pretty underwhelming. The service was kind of crazy bad, which is weird bc all the other reviews said it was great. I think it's because we came for dinner. I even think it was the owner that sat and served us. He was just very not warm and when I asked what he liked best on the menu, he said, "I don't know, I'm not the one that's going to eat it." It was kind of bizarre. I would say come here for breakfast based on the reviews, but skip the dinner. read more

I will have to say that it was clear, since there are only several restaurants here in Oceanside, that you should visit this one if you are here. Nice Yelp Reviews already - we lucked out on a sunny day - gorgeous views. The owner waited on us and she was lovely. Breakfast - they do right! I have to say, I think it is the BEST crab cakes I have ever had! She said it's a secret they make themselves - her two sons are the chefs. (not "cooks" - truly they are wonderful in the kitchen) The homemade biscuits were swell (I am a biscuit & gravy fanatic) - the gravy really delicious as well. Fascinating pics on the walls from the 30's I think of what it looked like then. Flowers on every table were a nice touch. They will be putting new tables in she said soon. A nice fireplace which must be cozy in there on a winters rainy beach day. They are only open for breakfast and lunch - off season. I understand their dinner meals in the summer are fantastic (and who wouldn't want to have a cocktail sitting there looking right at the ocean) NOTE: It is very small. If you are here in season - expect a wait!!! We did not have to wait at all b/c it is April. I can see tho, on a summer's day they must be packed. It is only steps from the beach - and on a not busy day - plenty of parking right there. The only thing that was missing is great diner-type coffee cups for sale :) I DID buy the t-shirt though - as I am a mermaid fan. read more

Our favorite place to go when in Oceanside besides the beach. It has a great small community feeling and the food is great. The food is all homemade and the biscuits are wonderful. read more

This feels like having breakfast at a friend's house. If your friend has an awesome view of the Pacific Ocean, that is. Cozy and super friendly. I was created with a hearty welcome, sat down, and was pointed to the coffee (it was 9:30) -- help yourself, "fix it how you like it." I liked that very much. No waiting for refills, just help yourself to a mug and good coffee with sugar and cream available and also hazelnut creamer if you prefer. I liked the relaxed atmosphere a lot and the friendliness that never felt forced, just familiar. I ordered the sausage benedict -- sausage and homemade biscuits topped with an egg any style, sausage gravy, and cheese. Nicely seasoned red potatoes on the side. I could have used a little more gravy if I'm honest but it's not like there wasn't plenty of food -- I couldn't finish the whole plate. It was delicious and hearty. I paid my tab and with a friendly wave and "have a wonderful day!" I set out to walk it off along the beach. I liked this place a lot. It's a lot like Oceanside itself, in that it's not a tourist trap but small and inviting. No pretension at the Blue Agate -- just feeding people and feeding them well. read more

We were camping at Cape Lookout and wanted a nice breakfast to start our day. This is a quaint little cafe with an ocean view. Service was friendly and our food was fantastic. Definitely not great for large groups. The breakfast menu had no omelettes. Which is my go to. Other then that it was perfect. read more

Stumbled upon this place site seeing at the lighthouse. We were famished and this place looked tiny cute. The lady warmly welcomed me and my two Russian friends that had no idea what the chips were in fish n chips! All the food was made from scratch. That fish chowder was spectacular! Also the best fish and chips because it was thick fish and breaded. Delicious! I will never be in that area again in my life, but if you are....don't miss the Blue Agate! read more

Nice cafe right at the beach. Super friendly staff treats you like family. We were here for breakfast. The menu wasn't overly complicated, but had enough to please most tastes. I ordered the full biscuits and gravy, which was quite good, but a bit too large for my stomach to handle. This place is not trying to be gourmet, just good home style cooking. read more

While on vacay we stopped here for breakfast after the recommendation of Ben at the Terimore Hotel. And I am glad he told us to eat here. From the moment you walked in to the moment we left the staff made us feel like family. I love the fact that they have a counter with self serve coffee. I am a peson that needs their coffee pronto and this is the way to go. I ordered the breakfast sandwich and my husband ordered the french toast with ham. People are blessed to have this place in the neighborhood with great food and service. Food was fresh and delicious. Thank you. read more
