Beautiful place! Great atmosphere! I love how you can order from your table by scanning the QR code. This was my first time here with my girlfriend and we both loved it. You can bring your dog too! Great drinks, Great food and very nice employees. Bravo! read more

we ordered 8 drinks to go. nothing was labeled or had lids and I had to ask for a carrier. when I asked if we could have which drink is what the barista looked at me like I was crazy. ended up labeling the drinks wrong. the place was cute but because of the service I will not return read more

I've been here several times at this point. Communal is the heart of the Tremont collective. It has gifts, food, coffee, cafe items, alcohol, greeting cards & flowers. It's a vibe as the kids say. Cute Oside stuff- shirts, glassware, stickers. Main attraction is the coffee shop but I find myself buying beautiful bouquets of flowers here a few times a month. Parking us the only bummer - it's free but hit and miss street parking. read more

One of the trendiest spots in Oceanside - situated on a backstreet, this shop can have a line down the street on a Sunday morning (we know... we waited in it). They are dog friendly and were casual about people bringing their dogs inside. There is plenty of seating indoors and out - despite being very busy. We found parking fairly easily on the street, though I'd imagine it could be more difficult later in the day when more of the local shops are opened for lunch, etc. I waited in line for about 15 minutes, ordered our drinks and coffee, then waited 5 minutes for my drinks, 20 minutes for my food. Something I've learned about California - it always takes so long to get food! I enjoyed peaking through the retail selections while I waited in line and enjoyed the smell of the fresh flower bouquet on the table, placed there by the shop next door. A lot of college students here + young adults. A mix of hip + surf vibes. The salmon spread bagel was awesome! Our lattes were good, as well. read more

After wanting to come here for many months, I finally made a point to go out my way to visit. The spot is visually beautiful -- the decor is minimal, clean, and modern. I love the fact that they have a flower shop attached and a cute store next door. Overall they have a phenomenal spot on the corner of the street. Now for food and coffee: It was good, but I wanted more. I was itching to try the black sesame coffee which I would definitely get again, but even with this being said it lacked in sweetness and could be better. Their donuts were amazing, but I've had the same ones at other locations because they are outsourced! The maple is my absolute favorite. I got the plant-based frittata sandwich which was all vegan and it was pretty delicious as well, but I wish the presentation was a bit nicer, as it looked like it had just been lazily thrown together and was falling apart. I also wish some of the mushroom inside were smaller because it was a bit texturally overpowering!! For $12.50, you would also think it would be a bit bigger, or maybe come with something on the side. I also got to try the peach ricotta toast, which again was good, but I'm not sure if it was $13 good. Essentially, I don't know if the food and coffee was good enough to excuse the prices. I was kind of left wanting something more? Service was a bit subpar. I wish they had been a bit friendlier, everyone kind of seemed to be phoning it in and didn't seem very happy. It was also kind of slow as well. I also love that they are dog-friendly, but wish they enforced that dogs don't jump up to areas where they are serving drinks/food. I saw a large dog jump up and place its paws where they served coffee. I don't mind, but I imagine for people with allergies that could pose an issue when it actually gets near their food. TLDR - I do think they have a good thing going for them. They have a unique menu with some great items, and a beautiful and aesthetically gorgeous spot, but I think this spot could be amplified for sure. With better service, and more reasonable pricing, and maybe some more care into the execution of the items, I could see this becoming a favorite. I will be back to give it another shot and hope to be impressed, there's so much potential here! read more

Used to love this place. Now waiting over 20 minutes for 2 sandwiches. Others who came after me got their sandwiches 10 minutes ago. Spent over $55 and takes over half an hour to get a couple of sandwiches?!?! Both sandwiches were wrong after waiting so long! Not what it used to be. I'll find another place from now on. read more

Great atmosphere, excellent baristas, kind staff. The flavored lattes are a treat and not overly sweet. They offer oat milk and almond milk for dairy alternatives (soy milk not available). The food is splendidly curated but some are priced too high for the portion side. read more

It's a cute place, I went on Saturday at 10am, before my hair appointment down the street, I was 30mins early so I thought I'd grab a coffee and croissant. The line was half way to the door, so about 6 ppl ahead. That took 15mins. The girl at the cash register was moving so slow, like when she warms up food and stuff, just the type of person to walk really slow in front of ppl.. which seemed to create a longer line that went out the door after me. There were 2 other girls making coffees - also super slowly and chit chatting. I thought okay it's my fault bc it's Saturday and ppl are here for brunch and I should've just gone to Starbucks. So I didn't order anything crazy, got a cappuccino and croissant, for some reason she didn't heat it up so I had to ask her to - which she seemed annoyed by. Then I waited for the cappuccino, 10mins passed while I'm standing there waiting, and I texted my stylist saying I'm running a few mins late. Another 16mins pass!! And I just ended up leaving without my cappuccino. I feel like the owner needs to hire more ppl, and have someone awake and bubbly and just more up to speed. 26mins from the time of ordering is a bit much to wait for a to go cappuccino. read more

Food and bevs both excellent. Busy but there was seating and only had to wait less than 10 minutes

The ambiance is amazing and the coffee and food is always great. Great place to relax and chill.

Forgot to snap a pic first but I had the maple sausage egg sandwich and my hubby had the Black Forest ham & egg bagel on an everything bagel. We both give our sandwiches a "10". Delicious! I normally don't eat bread or I'll remove the top slice and just eat the bottom but after eating my sandwich I ate the top English muffin because the maple butter was so delicious! ....and I'm on vacation pulling 25K steps a day. I also ordered a decaf americano coffee and it was the best coffee I've had so far on this trip. Delicious! Love the patio seating. And their little shop has some great items. Can't wait to come back. read more

We came here on Sat afternoon and weren't too busy. We were able to get a table right away. I have been to their other locations (north park and south park) and I liked this location the most. It's open, airy and lots I liked that the tables weren't crowded. The coffee was good, my husband ordered cinnamon which was also good since it wasn't too sweet. The only thing is that like some other reviewers had mentioned it is a bit on the pricier side. read more

Love, love and love everything about this place. The food, coffee and the ambiance is great.

Saw other reviews mentioning her so maybe she'll change her attitude if she sees these! Girl working this morning Thursday with dark hair and bangs is super rude and unfriendly. Very standoffish and not the normal customer service we are use to as we are frequent customers here. Next time she's working we'd probably choose to go elsewhere. We brought a friend in town today and we're raving about how much we love this place and disappointed they didn't get the customer service and experience we are used to! We're early risers with our baby so not very nice when we start our day coming to get breakfast and coffee and are met with someone who is the opposite of friendly. read more

This place has cute aesthetic and a lot of spots to sit both inside and outside . However , the food and drinks were mediocre for the price.

It's a gorgeous spot, great great vibes! I love sitting and looking at the decor. The coffee is solid. I tried a latte that had some lemon flavoring in it and it was light and yummy. I had a brioche toast that was solid. I didn't love the portions, so small! The avocado toast was similarly small. Water bottles for $42. It's a high end offering in comparison to the casual vibes at most oceanside coffee shops. I'll come back. It's just weird to see this type of spot in my home town. read more

I got the blueberry toast with ricotta paid $13 plus tax and this is what I got. I only took one bite in this photo. It was delicious but come on it's so skimpy and small, I'm paying $13 plus tax they could have made more of an effort and put it on a much bigger slice of bread or something for that price. Highway robbery. Enjoyed the coffee as well but won't be buying anymore toast for that price. read more

Adorable coffee shop with cute decorations, gorgeous floral arrangements, and most importantly, fresh and very delicious lattes, teas and plates! I had a vanilla bean latte - it arrived hot, with beautiful latte art, and perfect level of sweetness. We then ordered lunch - my friend's plate with sweet potato, brussels and turkey sausage looked incredible. I had the eggplant/veggie bagel sandwich. Everything was so fresh and so flavorful! The bagel was crispy and chewy, and the toppings were perfectly placed and complimented each other so well. We stayed for a few hours coworking, so also ended up with an assortment of teas - all nice and hot and flavorful. Excellent wifi, great location with plenty of street parking. Can't wait to go again! read more

Wow! We were completely thrilled with Communal. While passing thru Oceanside we chanced upon this amazing restaurant. The food was absolutey delicious as well as being unique. I ordered the Chicken Sando. It was out of this world good. My partner ordered the biscuits and gravy.. not at all what you would expect. But better than anything you imagine. Beyond that the patio area was just so beautiful as was the inside. The place is dog friendly. Our wonderful waiter surprised us with a water bowl for our dogs. Very thoughtful. The staff was so friendly, always a smile. We cannot wait to make a return trip read more

My initial feeling is to give 3 stars based on this first experience, but the atmosphere of this place and its future potential with simple customer service improvements pushed me to give 4 stars since there's no option for 3.5. I'll cut to the chase. This place is obviously extremely aesthetically pleasing which is what draws people in. I wanted to dine in and order several things off the menu, but the place was packed so I just ordered one thing to go. My first suggestion would be to increase the font size on the menu. This would help the line move faster so ppl aren't reading the menu once they get to the register. Secondly, friendly, welcoming greetings would go a long way. Thirdly, once a customer orders, giving them an estimated wait time will help set their expectations and avoid frustrated customers asking if they were forgotten. I patiently waited 26 minutes for avocado toast. Thats it. Just the toast took that long. Had I known it would be that long I would have ordered a pastry to hold me over while I waited. (Pastries are ready quickly). While waiting I watched several others standing for a long time waiting on items and approaching the counter to ask when the food will come out. No apologies for the long waits. My fourth suggestion, service with a smile, empathy, and thank your customers. My 5th suggestion, take it or leave it, is to limit laptop working in the space to Monday-Friday and leave the weekends to dining customers. This area is full of ppl dying to try all the wonderfully described menu items here, but they are less likely to order more food if there is no where to sit due to laptops overtaking every spot. Daily revenue could increase greatly when space is maximized. I understand that may not be goal of every business so that's why I say take it or leave it. To sum it all up. I will return, because my food was delicious and the atmosphere here is exactly what I like. I just know to come at a time that I'm not hungry and have plenty of time to wait. Hopefully, I can catch a table next time to dine inside and order more things. read more

Communal Coffee - cobb salad - Cafes Near Me - Oceanside, California

yay! my friend and i were looking for a cute place to eat brunch/ lunch on our way to san diego, and i'm so glad we came across this on yelp! the interior was very nicely decorated, and i appreciated all the natural lighting through the open doors and the skylights. on a saturday afternoon, there was one person ahead of us in line, but only a few spots open left to sit, as many people were studying in the shop. our drinks finished first and then the rest of our food came out within the next 10 minutes. the smoked salmon bagel ($15) was pretty good! nothing too stand out particularly, but definitely above average. i will say that the portion is relatively small for the price. the avocado toast ($12), although very simple, was veryyyyy good. maybe it was a mix of the herbal (rosemary?) bread or the chili flakes on top, but i thought it was very flavorful, and super enjoyable to eat as an avocado toast lover myself. honestly, still cannot pinpoint why it was so good but would order again. the matcha was perfectly balanced in sweetness and having a good matcha flavor. it was $7.50, because it costs an extra dollar to exchange for oatmilk, which is pretty expensive i will say unfortunately. regardless, still a good drink. overall, great experience! four stars overall because the portion sizes are very small comparative to the price. sigh. but still yum. read more

I came here thursday morning and ordered and ice lavender honey latte. the latte was delicious! i feel that sometimes with floral syrups, the flavoring can be too overwhelming but this was not the case. the flavors blended perfectly together and you can still taste the lavender while also getting hints of coffee with it. I can only speak from my experience ordering my drink to go but i will absolutely be back one day to try their foods and to even see what their work environment will be like. read more

Communal Coffee - inside - Cafes Near Me - Oceanside, California

Food/drinks we ordered: Smoked salmon bagel, earl grey blueberry latte, sweet mint cold brew, French toast The smoke salmon bagel was simple and pretty standard in terms of portioning, presentation, and how it was put together. Tasted good, but I've had better ones! The same can be said for the French toast! It's simple, it tastes yummy, it is on the sweeter side (and that's without syrup) but I've also had better ones! For me the earl grey blueberry latte was a bit bitter and lightly sweetened. It's not my cup of joe this time around, but it's still a nice drink! The sweet mint cold brew is definitely a drink I'd order again! The name encapsulates exactly how it tastes; a light sweetness, a splash of minty essence, and cold brew coffee. This was my favorite item of the day! Ambiance: very nice interior design with a lot of natural lighting available. Could definitely see myself studying here if I ever find myself out in Oceanside. The total price was around $45 which I think it's pretty standard cafe pricing nowadays, but it felt pricey compared to other cafes for what we got. read more
