The moment I walked in, there was a line of adorable puppies waiting alongside their owners, so I got to enjoy a healthy dose of cute pups! I absolutely loved how pet-friendly the place was. They also had a super charming grab-and-go section with goodies and gifts. I ended up picking up a couple of cowboy shot glasses and some chocolates to gift. The strawberry matcha latte was delicious and definitely worth trying. The wait wasn't long at all, and there were plenty of seating options to choose from. The bar area was very clean, and there were lots of cozy, sunny spots both indoors and outdoors. Overall, it was such a welcoming atmosphere, and I can't wait to come back. read more

Pretentious? Yes. Delicious? Also yes. If you're the type of person who shows up with a MacBook, orders matcha, and appreciates minimalist coffee-shop aesthetics, you'll fit right in here. The hours are great, the space is clean and inviting, and the matcha was okay. One thing I found a little odd: they bring your food to the table, but not your drink. Not a huge deal, just something I noticed. I came here twice in a row because I couldn't stop thinking about the lemon basil burrata toast. The first time was incredible which loaded with toppings and full of flavor. The second time looked noticeably lighter on the burrata and basil. Maybe it was an off day, because I know how good it can be. Overall, I'd still come back. The matcha was good enough, the toast was good enough to bring me back immediately, and despite the slightly curated "everyone here is working on a startup" vibe, the food was worth the visit. read more

I had a great experience here. Not a coffee drinker but came with a friend and was pleasantly surprised by their non-coffee selection. I had an Iced chai which was perfectly spicy and not overwhelming along with their turkey pesto breakfast sandwich which was balanced and the right size for a light breakfast. Would come back! Parking is easy (lots of street parking nearby) and service as fast with both indoor and outdoor seating. read more

Communal Coffee - Turkey Pesto Breakfast Sandwich - Cafes Near Me - Oceanside, California

No complaints about this spot besides maybe it's only street parking. Ample seating, delicious food and drink, and a little shop you can browse while waiting in line. The sandwich was great, and I was iffy before ordering just because I don't like English muffin too much but the toast on it made it good. I had a hot london fog but would love to try the coffee next time. Seems pretty dog friendly, or that's just the Oceanside public acting like the Oceanside public haha. read more

Such a cute and homey coffee shop! The interior is beautiful and cozy.... The location is tucked in within a residential area which makes it even more Home-y...... The coffee is delicious! The burrito is GIANT and delish! The bagel tasted so fresh and awesome! The Avocado toast can be passed upon! It is nothing special for the price that you are paying! As for the service, it is the one aspect that needs some loving if you will..... To that NOT so friendly employee who brought us our food, please use your brain and bring utensils to your guests. That is a common sense right?!! I guess not for her. To make things worse, after going to the front and asking for utensils, they handed me cheap plastic ones. To the owner of this place, PLEASE invest on some regular utensils instead of plastic ones! I don't think it is too much to ask! Thank you somuch! read more

The vibe is great for working. The service is quick and the staff is polite. However I'm very disappointed with the quality of the matcha latte. The addition of $1 for almond milk is ridiculous for a $7 diluted matcha. Clearly it's cheap matcha powder. I'm not complaining about the price but the quality of the matcha is unacceptable to call it matcha. So you should order something else. read more

Communal Coffee is my go-to Saturday morning pick-me-up. The lavender honey latte is my favorite. The space itself is super cute and has such a welcoming vibe. One of my favorite parts is that they even have a florist inside making fresh bouquets, which adds such a nice touch. There's also a small shop area where you can browse things like candles, books, clothes, jewelry, and even bottles of wine. The staff are always friendly, and there's plenty of seating if you want to hang out for a bit. They have WiFi, so it's a great spot to get some work done, and there's also outdoor seating for those sunny SoCal days. They also offer food options and even alcoholic coffee drinks, which is a fun bonus. Overall, such a great spot...definitely one of my favorites in the area. read more

Ambiance wise this place was beautifully setup. There is plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors although I can imagine the place can get pretty crowded during peak hours. The Golden Coast drink was great and offered a great blend of espresso, honey and sea salt which was so good. Sweet but not an overpowering sweet. The Communal Burrito was honestly not very great tbh and I would probably opt for ordering a toast instead... otherwise pretty solid morning coffee place! read more

Wow! I have been to the other locations in north and South Park and this location in Oceanside is immensely better. The size is larger with high ceilings and amazing lighting. There are several tables with outlets available to charge your devices. Lots of street parking nearby and ordering is really fast. I thoroughly enjoyed the vanilla cronut (the frosting had real vanilla bean!) and the salted caramel latte had a balanced flavor of espresso and caramel. My new favorite in north county! read more

I am typically not a huge coffee drinker {I'm more of a tea gal, but I've slowly been dipping my toes in the coffee game - Give me all your go-to coffee recs}, but as soon as I stepped foot in Communal Coffee, I knew it was my kind of place. While this review is for the Oceanside location, there are also location in Downtown San Diego, Bankers Hill, and both North and South Park. Upon arrival, you will need to find street parking as there is not a designated lot for this space; this can be a bit tricky at times, but hang in there because it's worth it. Communal Coffee is a coffee and shop focusing on inspiring and bring for the local community - Their tagline: Fostering inspiration, cultivating community. The coffee space / restaurant / shop is a beautiful space that not only serves delicious coffee drinks, but serves a selection of wine & beer, has a wonderful food menu, as well as a shop where you can purchase local, hand-crafted goods and stunning bouquets of fresh flowers. It's honestly and location with all of my favorite things under one roof. The space itself isn't large and depending on the day / time you visit, finding a seat can be a bit of a hassle as a lot of people use this as a work space and come set up shop with their laptops and occupy the space for extended periods of time. Thankfully, each time I've visited and been able to find spot either at a table or a stool at the bar.. some with a short wait time while waiting for something to open up. Just be advised if planning on attending as a group as you might find seating a bit more challenging. The team is wonderful and always engages in conversation while greeting you, taking your order and attending to your needs while you're there. I love that each team member seems to enjoy being there and makes it feel like it isn't "work" to them. To me, this shows that the management team / team leaders have created a happy work environment, which is clearly the sign that they are doing something right here. Ok, onto the good stuff.. the menu! Drink wise, you'll find Coffee's, Matcha, Tea's, Wine, Craft Beer & who doesn't love an Espresso Martini?! Visiting while you need a little pick me up.. the Chai Latte is always a great choice, but the Salted Caramel Latte is where it's at - Rich, creamy and just the right touch of sweetness! Here for a bite.. Fresh Pastries are always available {they are located by the register and change up regularly}, Toasts, Breakfast Sammies / Burrito's, Bowls, Granola, Bagels & More.. The menu has everything you could ask for. My husband enjoys the Salted Maple Sausage Sammie - Pork Sausage, Baked Eggs, White Cheddar and a House-made Maple Butter on an English Muffin {with vegan substitutions available if need be}. My go-to is the Communal Avocado Toast - Crispy Buttered Sourdough and Avocado topped with Sea Salt and Chili Flakes - Always add the Soft-Boiled Egg - it completely elevates this dish and is the perfect meal! You also can't go wrong with the Communal Burrito - Eggs, Roasted Potatoes, Salsa Verde and Red Peppers with your choice of Sausage or Bacon all wrapped in a Crispy Tortilla - Delicious! You will absolutely love the shop, the food & drinks and the overall vibe of Communal - This place is not to be missed! read more

Great coffee shop! Really tasty vanilla latte (I tried it both iced and hot, hot was technically better but it was barely a competition) and the gals behind the counter provide friendly service. I love the design of the space, lots of natural light and plants, not too cramped and lots of seating and tables inside and outside to sit and do whatever. They played REALLY good music while I was there (The Smiths, Arctic Monkeys, TV Girl, the strokes, queen) which was unexpected and very fun. It's definitely a nice spot to do work, however it's not a library, so if you get distracted easily by noise I recommend bringing headphones as groups of all types were hanging out. It's a nice spot to sit with a friend or draw/read. Wifi is strong, bathrooms are tidy, but parking nearby is a little hard so be prepared to walk over unless you get lucky. And they have a cute gift shop with all kinds of temptations. I plan to come back to try their mimosas. Overall very great spot! read more

Came here with my partner we ordered a breakfast burrito, granola bowl, lavender honey matcha and a cortado. The granola bowl looked great my partner really liked it and she liked the Cortado so that was solid. My order didn't work out to well. The burrito was pretty bland, and I was given a lavender honey latte instead of matcha so I had to get my drink re-made. It was ok not the best matcha I've had but it was good. There is plenty of seating both inside and outside, it's a quiet neighborhood so its nice to sit outside and enjoy the day. If I were to come back I'd definitely get the granola bowl over the breakfast burrito. Maybe try a different drink as well. read more

I enjoyed this spot, it definitely gets busy. Met a friend for breakfast and it's nice place to just chill for a bit, eat, and chat. I'd come back to try their other coffees. The cold brew wasn't as strong as others I've had in the past but it is definitely flavorful 2 drinks and 1 bagel for $22 is a bit up there but it is what it is for the "vibe" Gluten free bagel and cream cheese definitely tasted very yummy. Place was on the cleaner side but I went pretty early in the morning and the bathroom felt grimy. Not messy but just dirty which I don't love. The chef comes out and brings you the food which is kind. I'd come back and overall had a decent experience read more

I loved communal's location!! It's not on the highway 101 but just one block off. Which allowed for easy parking close by. I thought their balance of coffee lover and working remotely on a lap top was done well. Plenty of seating inside and outside. Everything is organized and clean. My barista wasn't welcoming or nice, she never even made eye contact with me. The coffee was good but not great. But I only tried a vanilla latte. So yes, I would go back! And I look forward to it. This is the place to meet a friend for a drink or light bite or do some much needed catching up on emails/studying. But, there is better coffee. read more

Parking a little tough to find since it's located near Coast Highway and a neighborhood. The service was quick and friendly when we ordered our drinks. I would come here again to try their coffee drink or any seasonal drinks they offer. This coffee shop has plenty of seats with outlets, so you can study. They offer alcoholic drinks like espresso martinis which is unique and the music they played today was house, so you can also come to grab a bite get some drinks, and hangout with friends. read more

For drinks, I had an Iced Ube Matcha Oat Latte, and my husband got a regular black coffee. Service was great, and we had such a relaxing morning on the patio at Communal Coffee with our dog. I'll definitely be back! Surprisingly, parking was super easy to find, even on a weekend, even with street parking. read more

I happen to be at the Tremont Collective for the Makers Arcade North County Holiday Pop-Up and decided to have brunch before I got into my shopping mode. I was in the mood for some cozy coffee and fresh fruit. The Communal Coffee was the perfect trendy place to address my sunrising needs. Anyplace that fosters community is where I want to be. I loved the bright welcoming and comforting atmosphere with a touch of flower arrangements and plants all around. About the menu, it's extensive filled with great options. I ordered the Lavender Honey Latte and Granola Bowl. Despite the busyness, I didn't have to wait too long. The staff was on it!

I've been here twice. Once a year ago and this past Thursday. The first time I was there, I ordered a Lavender Honey Latte with avocado toast and my husband had a Batch Brew House coffee w/breakfast sandwich. We sat at the counter. The order came in good time. The drinks and food were good. We did find the food pricey for the size. There were people catching up or working. Seems like a good cafe to work remotely. This last time, I had a meeting. I had a lavender honey latte (lightly sweetened) with a plant based frittata sandwich. All was tasty. The sandwich is rather small for the price. Overall, my experience here was good. Nice place to work remotely or have a catch-up/meeting with someone. There's street parking and outdoor seating. read more

I tried this cafe twice a year apart and both experiences ended the same. I am a black woman and it was quite apparent that's not this establishments cup of tea (). First interaction I came in with my boyfriend we were treated to horrible stares and annoyance when asking questions about the menu. We did not order and let them know thank you so much we're going to head out have a nice day. Second time I went with my mom and sister same exact experience only towards us not any other customer. I expressed my apologies to my family because I knew Communal Coffee behaved this way in the past, but didn't mention because maybe they've changed for the better. Disappointing but whatever I would suggest not going in there if you're a person of color. read more

The coffee here is so delicious! I ordered an iced Mocha and my wife got an iced banana caramel latte. The banana caramel latte was fenomenal! I would definitely order that drink again. The Mocha wasn't sweet enough for me, so I added some brown sugar and that did the trick. The place inside is so cute aesthetically. It was very busy on Memorial Day, with everyone working on laptops or having meetups. The entire place is wheelchair accessible, including the seating and restrooms. We will definitely be back. read more

We love communal. It's such a cute coffee shop and has become a great hang out for a lot of families with young kids, given the shared courtyard in the back (which is completely enclosed and gated). The coffee is really good as is the food although it's a bit overpriced. They also have the next door Annex where you can purchase flowers and small cute little nicknacks, including toddler toys and clothes as well as cook books and small kitchen keepsakes. Overall, a really cute and aesthetic place with friendly service. read more

This place is a VIBE!!! Recommended to me by a friend, I woke up early Sunday morning and decided to check out Communal Coffee because 1) a girls gotta eat and 2) sometimes a girl has to treat herself, especially the day after her first Ironman 70.3 :))) Anyway, Crystal M. gave me a great recommendation for the Smoked Salmon Toast (I was between that and the hot honey prosciutto) and I'm so glad I got the salmon because it was so fresh and so filling, too! I also ordered a hot matcha latte (duhhhh) with lavender honey. So, it was so good that I ended up ordering a second to go...along with some super cute souvenirs from the super cute market of sorts also at Communal Coffee. I'm obsessed with this place and will 100% be back. I have my eye on the Espresso Martini MOCKTAIL!!! This place is a vibe, this place is my heaven. Check it out!!! read more
