This coffee stop is located on a one way street. As you head west it will be on your left hand side. Street parking is available. It is within walking distance of the beach. Not too far from where the Farmers Market and Night Market (both on Thursday) takes place only a block away. Cute coffee stop. It has a two seater table outside right on the sidewalk. It has an open window street facing with 3 bar stools. No screen or glass. It also has 5, 2 seat tables and 1, 4 person table indoors. They have a cute back patio with a few tables and an umbrella for one of the tables for shade. Cute succulent wall decor and mural in the back patio. Take note that the surface in the back patio is loose sand. Has a hard surface but with sandy top. My order today was a large, hot Mexican Mocha and a cinnamon roll warmed up. The Mexican Mocha comes with 2 shots of espresso which I think is standard but they do ask if you want to add more. Two works for me. The mocha was perfect. Not strong but robust enough. The cinnamon roll wasn't huge, perfect size without feeling too guilty having a pastry. The customer service was excellent. Greeted immediately when I walked in and they had the time to make small talk. Friendly smiles which is a plus in my books. The place is clean and the decor is minimal but inviting and makes the place welcoming. I would love to come back and try some other items on their menu. Free Wi-Fi for customers! Stop by and give them a try. read more

Quaint modern coffee shop just a stone's throw from the O'Side pier. Friendly service, chill atmosphere and buzzy beans. Yours truly had the brown sugar latte with almond milk and an extra shot of espresso. It comes with two but I needed three in my life. Delicious. Not overly sweet and got my appropriately caffeinated. Cheers! read more

We went here after reading about it in the O'Sider, and we weren't disappointed. Staff was friendly, drinks were solid, and I'm convinced that the $8 breakfast burrito is the best value in downtown Oceanside. We will definitely see you soon! read more

Came here for the first time to try out their lavender latte and was not disappointed! The latte was creamy and delicious without being to sweet & the lavender flavor is perfect! Not super strong or artificial tasting. The service was great, super friendly baristas. The inside is quite spacious, they have both indoor and outdoor seating. Major plus for me is it is dog friendly! Brought my little pup with me and they gave us a free dog treat, so cute! Will definitely be back! read more

My husband and I have been trying out different coffee shops in north county recently. This one has been my favorite so far! I got the crème brûlée late and my husband go an americano and a drip coffee. All 3 drinks were good. I expected their coffee was going to be good based on all the reviews and they were not lying. I also got their pop tart pastry. Unfortunately it looks better than what it tastes. I thought it was going to be completely filled with jelly but it was not. There was just a little spoonful. I'd deffinitly pass on that. The atmosphere is very laid back. I love the little patio in the back. It's a good area to get some sketching or work done. The workers were friendly and welcoming. I can see myself being a returning customer, when in the area! read more

Went there early morning on a Sunday. The neighborhood overall is quiet and it is easy to find parking. The place was not busy in the morning. The vibe was cozy and living room like. Great spot to work from! The barista was very friendly. Ordered a vanilla iced latte and a vanilla hot latte. Definitely recommend the iced latte over the hot latte. Overall a 8.5/10. read more

My friend and I came in 39 minutes close. I've been wanting to try this spot so I'm happy I got in before they closed. The girl was super nice, not rude or annoyed by the time. Matcha was super creamy and delicious. They heat up their pastries when you order !!!! Which seems very uncommon for the area for some reason. So definitely getting my business with that alone. This is the type of cafe id spend a few hours getting work done in. Especially their back patio seating. It gets the perfect amount of sun and it's just a really peaceful spot. Will be coming back read more

The best coffee place that we have found in this area. This is the second time we have been back to it. We usually get a regular latte and cappuccino. The regular size is 16 ounces which is equivalent to a Starbucks grande. The base coffee itself has lots of flavor - deep, nutty notes, very smooth and not bitter at all. We haven't tried any of their flavored coffees, but the original one is just so super good on its own! They have oat milk for those who cannot have dairy. We also got an array of pastries to try. The raspberry "pop tart" is amazing. It's like a flaky turnover with real raspberry jam filling. The cheese danish is also really good. It is a little sweet, like a cream cheese filling. Obviously made with layers of laminated pastry. The ham and cheese croissant was good, but all of the filling shifted to one side. We also loved the cinnamon roll. It is baked to about a medium consistency. Not too gooey, not too dry. Pastries were approximately $5 each. We got a bag of their whole bean coffee to make at the place which we were staying. The guy working there was very friendly and nice. The shop itself is small, but well organized and clean. Definitely worth a try if you are in the area! read more

Such an easy cafe to sit and relax or have a quick bite to eat with friends/family. Conveniently located off Mission Ave right before PCH. Easy to grab coffee and have a walk to the beach too. I absolutely loved the relax vibe the cafe and staff gave. Everyone was kind and welcoming. Our barista gave great suggestions too. We quickly put in our order and only had to wait a few minutes to receive everything. They were so fast, especially on a Sunday. Our lattes were 10/10. I loved my Mexican mocha and my husband thoroughly enjoyed his salted caramel latte, as I was lucky to get a sip or two. We also loved the everything bagel. A bagel, cheese, egg, and bacon.

Ignite Coffee Company is the kind of place that instantly feels like home. This locally owned café (founded by an Oside native) offers more than just great coffee -- it delivers a full sensory experience. The aroma of freshly roasted beans hits you the moment you walk in, setting the tone for a perfect start to your day. The ambiance is effortlessly inviting. Their lovely outdoor courtyard, creates the kind of warmth to the space that encourages you to slow down and savor the moment. It's stylish without being pretentious, and the natural light makes it a great spot to read, catch up with friends, or just enjoy a quiet break. Service here is top-notch and the staff are genuinely kind and attentive. They're happy to customize drinks and offer recommendations. It's clear they care deeply about both the craft and the community. Bonus points for their in-house roasted beans ; the Honduras and Ethiopia varieties are especially popular ;) If you're in Oceanside and looking for a coffee spot that blends quality, charm, and heart, Ignite Coffee Company is absolutely worth the visit. It's the kind of place that turns first-timers into loyal regulars. One small note though - I'd love if their in-house syrups are a bit more ingredient-forward versus more sugar-forward.

salted caramel was okay, lavender iced latte tasted stale somehow. very light roast and the double shot does not come through.

Coffee isn't much to write home about. I liked that they at least have a sugarfree vanilla syrup, but the latte was almost only milk. The cashier was very kind so I appreciate that part. read more

No better way to spend a rainy day than chillin at a coffee shop with a warm drink in hand, and on this rainy day Ignite Coffee was happy to provide! I tried a drink from their seasonal menu, a warm banana latte which was perfectly balanced between sweet and smooth coffee flavor. The two employees here wear very welcoming and friendly to my dog and I! There is a back sitting area as well as a moderate amount of seating inside. A nice place to meet a friend or relax for a little while. I look forward to trying some other things on the menu! read more

I'm testing a new theory...and it's that anyone who is willing to invest in a Slayer espresso machine, they care a lot about their beans. So stop one on my Slayer-theory tour is Ignite Coffee roasters. And so far, my theory is testing true. Waiting in the queue, I can see that they roast Ethiopian beans, my particular favorite. After talking to the barista though it sounds like their house roast is a blend of Ethiopian and Honduran roasts. After trying the espresso, you can taste the bright fruitiness of the Ethiopian bean, and their roast was done with care. Very clean aftertaste and one that leaves you with almost nothing on the palette. Really though I'm splitting hairs on what is fundamentally a pretty perfect pull of espresso. If you're looking for a little pick-me-up, you can't miss with Ignite. read more

I stopped by for a quick coffee before hitting the road back home it was a Monday 30 min before closing and there was plenty of street parking around and the place understandably empty. I ordered one brown sugar and one caramel brûle latte both iced. They have ample amount of seating inside and outside. Cute little mural on the wall. The employee possibly owner was so kind and we were able to chat about the passionfruit in the back. Now I believe the brown sugar coffee has some cinnamon and some other stuff in there but was still enjoyable ( im not a big fan of cinnamon) and the caramel brûle was delicious. The drinks are on the sweeter side so if you want something a little less I would specify that when you order. Looks like a cool local hangout spot. read more

When it comes to coffee shops in Downtown Oceanside, there are so many to choose from. I feel that it is critical to support the smallest, family-owned businesses as much as possible in the city, and this is what leads me to reviewing Ignite Coffee. Ignite Coffee Co is owned by locals and operated by locals. This traits are what makes the heart of Oceanside businesses. Located on Mission Ave. near the downtown area, Ignite Coffee is right on a main road just blocks away from Oceanside Beach. This makes it a great place to "people-watch" from their open-window seating area. Parking can also often be tricky in the downtown area, luckily there's street parking right in front and around the corner from this café. The interior is very simple & straightforward with ample seating for couples or small groups. They recently opened up patio seating to the rear as well and this adds to their versatility. Ignite Coffee also showcases pastries from other nearby small businesses. This is yet another reason to support this small café, as they are the epitome of best local business practices. Their menu is quite simplistic, featuring all of the basic coffee flavors and also boasting seasonal specials. Service is fast, friendly and even neighborly and they keep everything clean. I personally love getting an "extra dirty" chai latté. All in all, I love Ignite Coffee Co for what they stand for in the Oceanside business community. read more

What goes better with hazy coastal mornings than fresh roasted coffee and croissants? Seriously the best coffee in Oceanside! Roasted in-house and served with a smile! They took the time to make an excellent pour over, with all the fruity notes a light roast should have. It was perfect. We also ordered a vanilla latte that had the perfect ratio of coffee to milk to vanilla, and a cortado that was espresso perfection! If you're a coffee snob that likes a modern and chill vibe, then this place will not disappoint! Highly recommend. read more

I've been wanting to check this place for a while. Parking can be a little tricky if it is busy down town, but when I went it was not. I parked close the Wig Shop. I was able to place my order quickly and receive in a good amount of time. There was space to chill in there and the barista was pretty nice. I got a Brown Sugar Latter and it was great. No complaints on the drink. I was searching briefly for a straw but did not notice any. No big deal. I'm looking forward to trying more things from here in the future! read more

Ignite Coffee is a great place for lattes! Coffee: 9/10 I tried out their brown sugar latte as well as a matcha latte. Both were very good, but the matcha was a bit sweet & not as ceremonial as you think it would be! Both overall were good drinks & I'll be back to try different drinks hot/iced! Service: 10/10 The young lady that was working was very nice and had a great attitude! She was very fast on making my order and just had a sweet vibe to her. Inside The Shop: 8/10 So sad it was raining outside because i'd love to sit and sip on their beautiful porch outside of the shop! They did have a lot of back stock/inventory in a corner and i wish i could've taken a cool pic of the full logo on the wall. Overall, great shop experience for an Oside coffee shop!!! Def step by when you're in town, they pretty rad!! read more

This local craft coffee spot is as good as it gets! If you like James' coffee - the beans here are definitely on par with theirs so you won't be disappointed! Here are some details: * They roast their own beans * All syrups are made in-house * Nondairy options are almond and oat * Food options are pastries and donuts * There are a couple seats against the wall and a table up front. Hours: 7AM - 2PM (except Tuesdays I think) Street parking. Ambiance is super mellow/ laid back. I ordered a flat white and it's the best I've had in a very, very long time (super smooth)! If you don't know what to order, talk to the owner. He's really personable and can help make recommendations. I've been looking for a good local roastery for a LONG time - thank you Ignite for being exactly just that! If you're looking for good quality coffee - this is it! I can't wait to come back and try other menu items (like their chai tea). ps - They also have a rewards program so make sure you enter your number and earn those points. Happy Anniversary Ignite!
