This place has the best breakfast taco! I love going here and then taking my food across to the beach and sitting there and eating it. Super tasty food and prime location! Plus they make some tasty hot sauce. read more

Great service with great food at great while looking at great views, what the hell is not to love

Service was great. Food was delicious. HIGHLY Recommend the California burrito with mocha ice coffee on the side...sheeesh 10/10

Not sure we knew how good this brunch spot was going to be given it is so unassuming but we have been going almost every weekend since! The carne asada breakfast taco with their iced coffee is my go-to; perfectly filling if you aren't quite hungry enough for a breakfast burrito. With the park situated behind and the ocean/beach view in front, the buccaneer is perfect for enjoying a delicious brunch with a view. read more

We are vacationing from Florida and friends brought us here for breakfast. We were lucky enough to order before it really got busy. Prices were great and portions were large. Everything was made fresh to order. Seating is limited but the view is nice! I highly recommend to anyone in the area. My friend had an acai bowl with peanut butter which I couldn't try due to a nut allergy but she said it was amazing I know it looked great! read more

Best California burrito!!! Definitely would come back and recommend this place to anyone.

Quick service. Reasonably priced. The portion sizes are huge and the food is awesome quality. I recommend the soyrizo burrito (even if you are a meat eater) and the privateer açaí bowl! They have fresh juice, smoothies, and espresso/ coffee. Can't beat eating right next to the ocean! read more

Buccaneer Cafe - Soyrizo breakfast Burrito (No Meat Breakfast Burrito) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oceanside, California

Best breakfast burritos in town. Staff is always friendly and coffee is strong too :)

On our way home from vacation, we wanted to stop and have a quick breakfast that was still delicious. We could not have picked a better place. The sausage burrito is a smash hit! I would eat here again and again. Sitting across from the beach is an added bonus! I highly recommend this spot! read more

Been coming to bucaneers for like 8+ years! Love their burritos. I only get breakfast burritos from here. Best salsa ever. People treat u very nice and ur food comes out great. The only reason I am giving a 4 and not a 5 is because of a recent experience I had then my husband had with an employee early in the morning. First I had went at 7am right after finishing a 12 hour long noc shift at the hospital, not realizing they don't make hot food until 8am, totally fine! I decided I send my husband to go at 8am. I felt she was very short with us, and almost bothered that we were coming to get food I wasn't sure if she was just being short with me, or if I was just too tired to really have a clue what is going on, but my husband had a similar encounter with her... I love bucaneers but just don't want to feel unwelcomed like that. read more

Best pancakes in Oceanside - a little crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside = perfect! Super delicious fresh fruit smoothies, fresh squeezed OJ, and bomb breakfast sandwiches. I really appreciate that they use compostable take out items - paper straws, paper containers and compostable bags. read more

This is a really cute beachside cafe with excellent smoothies and açaí bowls. The wait is worth it. Food was done quickly, even with a long wait. read more

Buccaneer Cafe - Beef Loco Moco - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oceanside, California

A little place across from the ocean for great breakfast and caffeinated drinks, hot or cold (it is California, you know). We stayed within walking distance for the long weekend and came here often the menu is classic and crazy. All depends upon how funky you want to get in the morning. Love it to da MAX read more

Fantastic! We came here on a Saturday morning at 9 am for breakfast. There was a line of six or seven people, but we quickly got to the counter to order and our coffee and food were out within ten minutes of ordering. We also snagged a table right away, which was great. I had the breakfast burrito with bacon and a latte. Both were absolutely terrific. The woman working at the counter was so friendly and polite, and you can't beat the ocean views provided here. read more

A weekend morning at 9 am, 78 degrees, under a clear blue sky, sitting outdoors where all 4 or 5 tables have a view of the ocean (close enough to smell the salt and hear the murmur of the surf) and eating a plate of Moco Loco... It was like church, but more filling. Staff is smiling, friendly, my order came out in minutes and the coffee is all you can drink. Need a review say more? Well, there are these details... It's outside, so you could be attacked by dogs, cats, homeless persons, vultures, mountain lions, seagulls, sparrows, various political groups, religious groups, misc terrorist entities, squirrels, and/or land sharks. Oh, it could also rain and/or be cold... snow in Oceanside is unlikely. So dress appropriately. Be aware that this venue, like most venues, on the planet is highly vulnerable to meteor strikes. Summary... 5 Stars Good to great food Happy staff Outside venue read more

Family-friendly vibes. Great food. Even better service. The ladies and gentlemen at Buccaneer Cafe always deliver a great experience.

Good food, good smoothies, decent atmosphere. Everything is pretty much self serve besides the actual taking of the order. A gorgeous view of the Beach right across and basketball court and beautiful spot for a picnic behind the place itself. read more

Love the location of The Buccaneer Cafe. The place is really busy a cool little local spot next to the beach. I'm happy they have vegan options. The wait is long but the food is worth it. I ordered the vegan burrito customized but they instead just gave it to me the way it originally came. Cute place, even though my order was wrong it was still tasteful. read more

We wanted to try a new coffee spot so stopped at Buccaneer cafe , the service was good and the breakfast burritos were amazing . Didn't end up getting drink was unsure if they had iced drinks . Nice spot for a coffee shop will be back soon read more

AMAZING food, and we loved the ambiance. It doesn't hurt to be right next to the water, but this place was great. Needed a quick place to stop by, definitely was delivered higher quality than we needed or required in the moment, just stumbled across a true gem. Definitely going back here when I'm in the area. read more

Well, it's official. I have a new favorite breakfast burrito!!! I've lived a block away for a year and a half now and finally decided to give it a try. I mean, why not, I've heard nothing but great things about it from several unrelated people. I decide to hoof it over there since it IS only a block ( a LONG block but still only one ) and I could use the exercise anyway. I see the usual bevy of tourists and cyclists and stroller pushing mommy's along the way as today is beautiful so the walk in is entertaining! I arrive about 10am and the place is PACKED! tables full and there's a pretty good line at the counter.. (order at the counter, find a seat and wait for your name to be called to retrieve your food) which moves remarkably fast. I settle on the Breakfast Burrito since I've heard a lot about it (all good) Besides, who doesn't love a good burrito? Dumb people, that's who! Touchdown!!!! As I complete my order and the nice lady behind the counter hands me my Diet Coke (YES! Coke NOT Pepsi!) I turn to find a table just vacated and I swoop in for the perfect seat where I can both watch the hoards flock to the beach AND enjoy the view of the ocean. As I take it all in I notice adjacent is a coffee bar which makes what looks like anything you could want from the Bigbucks kind of place and she's quite busy and handing happy people their morning fixes of caffeine. There seem to be a lot or "regulars" and calling of people by name with friendly waves. Always a good sign. The "Dude" is perched in a chair studying the waves and as he mows through a burrito (I'm starting to think I made the right menu choice) I can only guess he has decided to surf today because he tosses the wrapper in the trash and retrieves his board and heads off into the sand. "Sam, I have an order for Sam" I hear bellowing behind me and I pop up to get my highly anticipated breakfast. (See photo) The burrito has lived up to the hype and the salsa is fresh and really good!!! It doesn't take long to devour it and I'm already pondering when my next visit will be. I peruse the scenery and decide to take the lady at the counter's offer of a free refill on my soda. When this happens 3 separate groups try to schnore in on my table and a collective groan sounds when I tell them all I'm not actually leaving yet. I take in some more of the tourists (always funny to watch) and finally get up and walk home.. Taking the beach and the water and sand del great on my feet! My first thought was to give it ONE star hoping it would keep people away so I could have it all to myself but that would have been rude.. I'm a lot of things in life but not typically rude (unless you're asking for it) I gave it 4 for the lack of seating only.. not their fault but still a deduction . Food- 5* Staff - 5* Ambiance - 5* Open for breakfast at 8 read more

My son in law loves this place for breakfast and I stopped there to get him a gift card as a little extra birthday present. Arrived at the window at 2:01 (someone before me had just finished their order) and asked to buy a gift card. The woman pointed to the "closed" sign she had just flipped over and just said "sorry." I explained that I didn't want food, just a quick gift card order. She looked me dead in the eye and said, "We. Are. Closed." And turned around and walked away. I know I can order a gift card on line. But I was in the neighborhood and really? So, go there for a great breakfast, just don't be a minute late!! read more

Mmm flavor, courteous service, grand atmosphere, what more can one ask for while enjoying breakfast in beautiful San Diego. I especially appreciated the self service table of water, napkins, cutlery, and condiments. Picnic table style was casual and cozy. Weather was great today enjoying the kitchen sink breakfast burrito and carne asada taco. Affordable prices for yummy eats. A must try! read more

Good beach cafe. Friendly service. Made it there past breakfast but too small to keep the eggs going into lunch. Settled for two quesadillas. Chicken and a Carne Asada. Side of Guac and sour creme. Chicken was good. Nice chunks of protein. Carne was a bit to wet. Decent flavor. Great outdoor views. In fact we had to share with our little squirrel friends. read more

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE OF ALL TIME!!!! I've been coming here for years, I love their breakfast burritos, but I will NEVER come back here ever again. I accidentally grabbed the wrong burrito when they called out the name, drove all the way to work and realized my burrito was wrong. I went back to return the wrong one and get the breakfast burrito that I ordered and two girls, immediately began telling me that I took a very expensive burrito and I've cost them money, and now they had to remake two more burritos and didn't want to remake the proper burrito that I ordered because I should have been more cognizant at listening to the names! Then continue to tell the entire kitchen staff the same story and we're all irritated they had to make the burrito that I ordered and paid for, then, yet again, when I went to grab the burrito that was remade for me, told me next time to be more cognizant in front of a line of people. The worst most disrespectful staff I have ever experienced at any sort of customer service establishment. What kind of employees speak to customers over grabbing an accidental food item by mistake?! I will never come back here ever again, which is such a shame because I'm a Oside local and recommend this place all the time but I absolutely will never make that mistake again. read more

Great acai and breakfast burrito right by the beach. I wonder if I could have added avo to my burrito, it was a bit one note. Can't wait to come back. I wish the acai came with another topping but you had to pay. It was just strawberries and banana. Would have added a touch with coconut or pb! read more

Food & service was great and the location is even better!! Perfect for a quick meal before or after a beach day

Staff was super friendly and helpful with navigating the menu. Food was great and had a nice view of the ocean. We went on a Friday evening and they had live music playing that was great. Highly recommend coming here if you're in the area. read more

Delicious burritos - quick service - nice beachside location for a quick stroll to walk off the food

HEALTH WARNING! Their own sign and the law says all employees must wear masks. Yet, of the three cooks preparing my food, NOT ONE was wearing a mask. This is shameful during a pandemic that has already killed 200,000 Americans! The girl taking orders at the window had no explanation. We will not be back. read more
