Came back here by accident forgetting I've been here before. Definitely a different experience then my first time which seems like forever ago. The spam masubi absolutely spectacular and it's made to order nice and fresh. The guy at the counter was super cool fun guy. Nice and clean in here. Very warm and cozy vibes. Lots of different spots to sit. I'll definitely be back for the spam masubi. Fun time Thanks

From the moment you walk in you're warmly greeted and feel right at home! There's so many wonderful things about this cafe and the hospitality from the staff is top tier. I enjoyed a 'build your own sandwich' and let me tell you this alone is worth coming in for - everything is made from scratch and just genuinely tastes amazing! I also ordered an iced latte which tasted delicious! The cafe itself is large with plenty of open seating - wether you come here to read, work, or just hangout with friends there's room for everyone. One of the best and most affordable cafes in Oceanside - it is worth the stop!

Entrance

Came for the Oceanside parade and ended up here. It turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip to Oceanside. The atmosphere is incredibly cozy, quiet, and welcoming--perfect whether you want to work, read, or just relax with a great coffee. Its not "just another cafe" I tried their Musubi and Onigiri, along with the edamame and seaweed salad, and everything was delicious. The musubi was made fresh to order, and easily some of the best I've had. You can really tell they care about the quality of their food. The staff were super friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in. It's the kind of local café and lounge that makes you want to come back again and again. If you're in Oceanside and looking for excellent coffee, tasty food, and a comfortable place to spend some time, Brown Cup is absolutely worth a visit. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town. Shoutout to the owner. She's running this place with the energy of three people ( I think she drinks lots of coffee instead of water ) and has a great sense of humor.

A great space to do work! Many cafes now a days are solely for aesthetic, but this one you can actually get work done at. The coffee is good, I suggest getting a banana flavored coffee, it's unique and different but delicious. The vibe is cozy and peaceful. The service is good, the woman who helped me was soo sweet 10/10

Found this cafe on Google and was very pleased with it! We ordered a brewed coffee, peach boba milk tea, and salted caramel mocha. All were delicious! Inside is a cozy atmosphere with framed pictures of nature and couches. The business is family owned and they were friendly. They sell honey as well and gave out free candies by the water :0)

You have to come here just to try this sandwhich! The Southwest Sandwhich! Through the years same taste, quality and size! As costs have gone up so have food sizes gone down. Avocado toasts have become Avocado smears but not here. The picture doesn't do it justice. Option of white, wheat, sourdough. Come try this, you won't be disappointed! Their coffee and service is on point too! Let's support this lil mom n pop coffee shop! Hi Roger and Roger's wife! Im sorry, soo bad with names?!

My go to "meet up with a friend spot". As well as my favorite "treat myself spot". Cozy and comfy. They make the food with love and the drinks always hit the spot. The owners are the most sweet humans and anyone else I've had help me has been a joy and the quality of service is just as good. I recommend stopping in or ordering them as your next delivery order!

Ask the Community - Brown Cup Cafe

Is this place good for groups? A book group?

I've been studying for an Engineering exam at Brown Cup almost every weekend the past few months and would say yes, it's good for groups. They have a good amount of couches and chairs available with coffee (no pun intended) table sized tables to… 

Is it a good environment for kids?

Yes. But quiet.

Perfect for this heat wave weather! The smoothies that we ordered were all delicious! Great…read morecustomer service as well! Highly recommend! We will be back Thank you again!

I was excited to try our RAD juice since an account I follow on Instagram raved about them…read more However, I was disappointed with the overall experience. I ordered the 12oz Oside mix bowl and my mom ordered the 24oz Berry Blast with peanut butter. There were two employees there on the day that we went. I had to tell the person taking our order that we wanted to add peanut butter to the Berry bowl multiple times because he wasnt adding it (I could see it on the screen). My mom and I then sat outside to wait. When our order was ready, my bowl was fine but hers was the wrong size. It was the 16oz and they did not add peanut butter, even though I asked for it multiple times. When I brought it up to the employee, he said it was the 24oz. I told him it wasn't since they have the containers by the register labeled with the size and I could clearly see the second bowl was the wrong size. He finally asked his coworker and she confirmed what I had been saying. He immediately started remaking the second bowl. I understand that there is a learning curve when you're new so I was trying to not be upset about him telling me I was wrong. Anyways, when the second bowl was finally done, we noticed there was barely any fruit and toppings on it. Since I was waiting inside this time, I was able to notice that there were flies all over the place. Especially near the prep area, on the fruit, etc. I would recommend they keep their doors closed to prevent this from happening. Overall, I was not impressed after spending $30 and probably won't be back. I wish them luck and hope they are able to get it together.
