Parlor Doughnuts is always incredible. Pretty bummed that my local location in North Park has been…read moreclosed for quite some time, but it's so good that I'm willing to make the trek (on public transportation, no less) to this location. It's in Downtown Oceanside very close to the beach/oceanfront, surrounded by tons of restaurants. The store is pretty tiny, with some outdoor seating. The store keeps the doors open, so it can feel pretty stuffy inside on hotter days. The staff working is always pretty attentive and pleasant.

Service was great, we got a free donut at the end of the day! The doughnut is huge! However,…read morecroissant doughnuts aren't really my thing I guess as I'd prefer a regular croissant or doughnut to it and felt there was too much dough. The Sandy Beach was surprisingly not super sweet for my less sweet taste bud. The French Toast however was super super sweet because of the filling and I venture to guess that the other filled ones would be way too sweet for me as well. I didn't try the savory doughnuts but I think I would like that better with the 'bread'.

I have been eyeing 1022 for a while and finally decided to stop by after a hot day at the beach!…read moreThere were so many unique gelato flavors to choose from, but I ended up getting the ricotta & fig and it was absolutely delicious. The two flavors complemented each other perfectly, and the creamy texture really enhanced the flavor. The staff were incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable about the different gelato flavors. There are still so many flavors I want to come back and try, especially the pistachio and tiramisu. I'll definitely be back, and next time I'm looking forward to trying out their coffee as well!

Okay, I was already excited for gelato, but this place somehow managed to exceed expectations…read more First off, every flavor we tried was amazing, but the pistachio? Yeah... that's the one. I would happily make questionable life decisions for another scoop of it. But honestly, what made this experience stand out wasn't just the gelato--it was Venezia. Huge shoutout to her for being so patient while we stood there completely incapable of making a decision. Instead of rushing us, she took the time to help us figure out what flavors we actually wanted and gave us recommendations that absolutely did not miss. She was incredibly sweet, genuinely welcoming, and made the whole experience so much better. And listen, this place is about an hour drive for me. An HOUR. Yet I'm already planning my return trip because the quality of the gelato and the service made it 100% worth it. If you're anywhere near this place, do yourself a favor and stop by. The gelato is ridiculously creamy, packed with flavor, and made with the kind of quality you can taste immediately. Dare I say it... the creaminess might even be better than An's Gelato . 10/10. Came for the gelato, left wanting to be friends with Venezia

One small tip it would be nice to have a small sticker on the plastic wrap with the name of the item along with the label on the shelf!!

Not the biggest fan of this place. Just not it for me. My idea of a bakery deviates from their idea…read moreof pastries I guess. I'm just not used to individually packaged pastries. Regardless of the presentation, I was not a big fan of the taste. There's nothing that really stand out to me. Not even the drinks, they can either be really bland, milky, or sweet. I mean, to each their own right? I decide to follow up with a second visit for a birthday cake to see if the cake would change my mind. Although was still disappointed. I guess this place was just not meant for me. I will say this place is really nice and aesthetic. Visually pretty and clean, I'll give them that. As well as their customer service, they have a couple of staff that are really nice and welcoming. I appreciate the help I received on the two visits I took here.

My friend and I had a wonderful first visit at Bliss Tea & Treats with Rushell! Her current…read morelocation is in her transformed back patio. As soon as you walk through the entrance gate, you are transported to a lovely tea garden. We did make reservations ahead as it is reservation only. Rushell greeted us and we were quickly seated. We chose the La Dolce Vita Tea Experience. We were able to sniff the tea leaves first in individual test tubes which absolutely helped me pick my tea. I loved that experience! Once everything was selected, we were brought out our teas and salads. The salad was refreshing and I especially enjoyed the fresh tomatoes, garbanzo beans, and house vinaigrette. I had the Eiffel tea and absolutely loved it. I typically prefer black teas with either hints of floral or fruit notes and this tea had the perfect combination. We were then given our individual towers/ tea tiers which consisted of three sandwiches (smoked salmon pinwheels, apple Brie melt, and Prosciutto, Feta And Balsamic Fig Sandwich) of our choosing, a cranberry orange cake scone with creme Fraîche and strawberry preserves, and a trio of desserts (lemon cake with blueberries, petite four, and a rosemary shortbread). I honestly loved everything I ordered. I loved the cake scone as it was very moist and the sandwiches were all divine with powerful flavors in each bite. I didn't love the creme fraîche, as I prefer clotted cream with my scones, but it does offer a great break from sweetness of the cake scone. I especially enjoyed how toasted the Apple Brie melt was. I love short breads and petite fours, so I'm a bit biased but they were my favorite desserts. Not only did we have a lovely time due to the atmosphere, tea, and delicious food, but we thoroughly enjoyed Rushell herself! She was so welcoming and shared so much with us. Happy to always support local and especially women-owned businesses. I can't wait to go back!

Thank you for the last 18 years....your breakfast/lunch menu was always made with freshness and love. Your pastries are next level, what more can I say...and the staff were always so amazing! I didn't get to write this in your memory book, but every time I had the pleasure of eating in-it was pure zen. Good food, relaxing environment, and good people....it will all be missed.

I've only been to Petit Madeline twice…read more Once before we moved to Oceanside and once more recently, a 10 year gap. And when I had a taste of their food a couple of days ago, I'm not sure why I didn't come back sooner. Service was very pleasant. Plenty of seating. Had the chicken and waffles and it was really good. The savory crepes could use less onions but the meat had a lot of flavor. Good locatin also, close (ish) walk to the pier if you want to burn off the calories. Not waiting 10 years to go here again.

There are lots to choose from like tortas, tacos, Birria, as well as the namesake sweet churros. On my last visit I got to have one of my childhood favorite fair treats, stuffed churros con Dulce de Leche. Maybe someday they'll also have Guava filling as an option. The spot is tigh, but if has great vibe and the service is always friendly and attentive. The parking is small, but it's manageable if you come at the right time.

Service was great, and the atmosphere has mom-and-pop shop vibes with a very welcoming and clean feel. They also have both Spanish and Mexican style churros with dips you can get filled or on the side: caramel, dulce de leche, or chocolate. Both versions are tasty and come out fresh!! Don't skimp on the potato balls and sandwiches too. I just love this place. I also love that they have affogatos with a legit espresso machine. They use vanilla soft serve for their affogato, and it was delicious. I didn't even miss the traditional gelato aspect.

It was so delicious and the service is great.

They pour the cream onto a super cold surface. Mix it up and then roll it. So fresh!

I like Taiyaki ice cream and have come here for years whenever we visit Oceanside. I was just there…read moretonight. My order was taken promptly and the gentleman who took my order had excellent customer service taking my order, then...there was the wait to get my order. There were 3 employees and two were standing around while one worked. A customer who came in after me got his order, and all employees were just standing around. I went to the counter and asked if I had been forgotten. 2 of the employees got to work on my order. The only young woman working there was on her phone and handling food with the same gloves. I said excuse me, to her and pointed out that she had been on her phone and handled food in without getting new gloves. She looked at me and said, "So do you want me to change my gloves?" I replied "yes, it's a sanitation issue. I have worked in the industry and taught restaurant management." She changed gloves, cut off the edges of the Taiyaki waffle she had touched with the other gloves, finished my dish, and slid my finished dish across the counter. She said nothing as she slid the dish of taiyaki towards me, and turned and walked away from the counter. The restaurant had an "A" rating, but the cross contamination issue of handling personal phone and food with the same gloves, is not "A" rating behavior. It was close to closing and I do understand that it was getting late. It is still very disappointing. The restaurant did appear to be clean in the customer area. As I watched all 3 employees, the gentlemen working showed safe and sanitary work behaviors. I hope this cross contamination behavior by the female employee gets corrected.
