In Carlsbad for work and found via yelp. Opened at 6, doesn't serve real food until 8am on Saturday mornings, not sure of other days. They did have a few pastries and bagels in a case. The service was great, the place is super neat. They have a very neat building, tons of books and a comfy couch. They played some more eclectic music but it wasn't too loud so no issues. I don't think I'll make it back but I'd say if you want a small town coffee shop with good service this could be your stop! read more

Very quaint coffee House! Most interesting attribute was the ice cubes in my iced coffee! I've never had coffee ice cubes but what a brilliant idea! They melt and the coffee gets stronger! Love this forward thinking coffee shop!!! Cute name too! Worth driving to just for the coffee but they also have kombucha on tap read more

Jitters Coffee Pub - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

This is a very confusing coffee shop. You are met at the door by a table with no menu, no prices and wrapped in plastic pastries. There were people inside but we weren't sure if they had to pass the gauntlet to get inside! Coffee weak, latte super sweet without flavor. We felt like we were in a time warp back to 2020! read more

Always drove by this place heading to work so decided to give this place a try. I got the vegetarian breakfast sandwich and it was hands down one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've had! Coming from someone who eats meat more than someone should, the vegetarian sausage was far better than any sausage I've eaten! This place might be the reason I slow down on eating red meat. Lol Also, decided to try their white-lightning coffee! Highly recommend it! Besides the food, the customer service was amazing! Instantly felt at home and welcomed as soon as I stepped foot in the door! read more

White lightening coffee drink & the savory danish totally rock my Saturday mornings!! Only minus is that dogs come inside the cafe & staff plays with them... makes me wonder about pet hair/dander in my food... but everyone seems to appreciate the pet love there. Not a fan of dogs inside restaurants- only on patios- but I can get over it for the deliciousness. read more

I love Yelp because it helps me find places like this. The Avacado Toast was very tasty and the cup of coffee had great flavor to the final sip. Glad I stopped in. read more

The vegan lunches are sooo yummy and affordable! They change daily and are all delicious. The teas are also really nice and organic.

I'm from the Pacific NW and trust me when I say, "I KNOW A GOOD COFFEE SHOP WHEN I SEE ONE!" All of the elements were there... -Almond and Coconut Milk in addition to Soy and the old school white stuff from a cow (Score for the vegan alter-ego of mine!) -Heavy wooden chairs and a mahogany (?) bookcase filled with leather bound books. -Bright & beautiful energy that wrapped me up like a warm blanked with my double pumpkin-spiced almond milk latte. -There is a cheeky dessert (in this case: Sexy Cakes and Super Sexy Cakes) Take it from a coffee shop junkie from the mystical land of where there are as many coffee shops as there are fire hydrants - Jitters is a place I can't wait to return to with a group of friends for a light breakfast, friendly service with a smile, and darn good coffee! P.S. Chess tables would be an excellent addition! read more

Maybe I should give Jitter's another chance.. I went to use their wifi for job searching. I was blown away by their coffee prices. Almost $5 for the Oreo blended coffee drink I wanted! Sheesh. The shop is cute itself but seating is limited. It was hard for me to find an outlet too. They were very friendly which made up for my experience...but then they closed early afternoon! Like, 1pm! I couldn't believe it! Cute little shop on Coast Highway...but there are others close by that I'd check out first! read more

Look no further!! If your looking for a great coffee shop that also slangs Kombucha this is it! Funny thing is, I've always stared at this place from across the street while enjoying a nice cold crafty beer at Surfside Taproom. Then I decided to come check it out when I saw a banner showing that they carried some booch! I've been on this healthy cleanse phase and discovered the great health benefits of consuming Kombucha, but it's pretty hard to find a spot that even carries it, and I'm not taking about grocery store bottled booch, I want the fresh out the draft tap system type. As soon as you walk in you feel right at home, the décor and setting feels like you just entered a mixture of someone's living room/home set up bar. That was a compliment by the way ;) Very beautifully designed! I sat at the coffee bar and asked about their Kombucha, and was told they carry a very popular booch that is CBD infused in which it makes you feel relaxed, focused and helps get rid of migraine or some sort of pain. I decided to give it a try, and the flavor i was given was a ginger taste. I took my first huge gulp....WOAH!!! xD This stuff is amazing!! (I said that in my head, but wanted to scream it out loud haha) I instantly felt very much alert and in tune. Idk if it was some sort of placebo effect or if this stuff is the real deal, but according to the employees...they run out of this stuff pretty quickly. Ever since, ive been coming back to this specific coffee shop for their booch and I don't think I will ever get tired of it. Overall, friendly vibes and great service. Plenty of seating around and cool décor to indulge in. I highly recommend you coming in to see what I'm talking about and to also try their booch. Hands downs, I felt I opened the gate to my new favorite spot, but how rude would I be if I didn't share this little taste of happiness!? read more

This is my favorite coffee shop. I always order cappuccino because it's the best I've had anywhere. The baked goods are terrific, too. To top it off, the prices are reasonable. I highly recommend this coffee shop. read more

This place closes early afternoon. The staff is nice, they don't try to hard to make conversation. I came in an hour before they were closing and they had the chairs up on tables already. The coffee was decent. I got a small mocha. It tasted a little watered down but still better then most places. The prices are a little rediculous, but what are ya gunna do. The coffee shop definitely give off the artsy snob vibe. I usually just get my coffee and jet. The staff isn't very good at suggesting new drinks or something that is offered only at this coffee shop. It's pretty much, plain latte's, mocha's, or a cappuccino. If it wern't for the locals that hit this place up on the daily I see it failing. read more

I have really mixed feelings about this place. The shop itself is really great. The ambience is really hip and mellow, there are a bunch of books all over the place, and there is free wi-fi. It's the kind of place that encourages you to sit and enjoy your drink rather than get in/get out. The staff is friendly and eclectic - be prepared to see mohawks or dreadlocks behind the counter - and the service is good. The coffee. This is where it gets dicey. I've had coffee there twice, both times a very simple drink: iced large soy vanilla latté. Pretty basic. That's like, Barista 101 material right there. The first time, there was so little flavor to it that I actually walked home and put my own vanilla creamer in it. The second time, the flavor was better, but she put so little ice in it that by the time I walked home, the ice was melted and the drink was lukewarm instead of cold. Additionally, I paid five dollars and some change for this drink. I can go to Starbucks and get my fancy pants soy cinnamon dolce latté for far less, and know that it will be made right consistently. So it comes down to cool vibe and sticking it to the man by supporting local businesses versus quality of the drink and knowing I'll get what I want. I will probably continue to get coffee at Jitters when I'm too lazy to go anywhere else, or maybe I'll try their teas. Maybe the teas will get them above three stars in my book. read more

Gave Jitters another chance. And I'm so glad I did. Fantastic experience for round two. (Which has lead to rounds 3 and 4 on subsequent weeks.) First of all, the menu was posted on the counter this time and there were a ton of delicious options. This place is incredibly vegetarian and vegan friendly. In fact, I'm scared to mention this, as I don't want to scare off the veg-averse, but this place is meat-free. You'd never miss it though. The food is well-prepared, really yummy, and the portions are out-of-control huge. Instead of getting the house blend, I ordered a latte and it was fantastic. They have lots of alternatives to dairy milk as well, so you have plenty of options if you're vegan, lactose intolerant, or just want to try something different. Great little ambiance - I can tell this place has its regulars. If you're not careful, you could easily become one of them. read more

I'm glad the name of this place was enough to intrigue me to visit. We stopped by on a cold, rainy day so I could introduce my friend to my favorite cafe drink: a chai latte with espresso -- or a "Dirty Chai!" I was really pleased with this spot because with the addition of espresso and almond milk (I believe they also have soy and coconut, unlike most coffee chops), my total still came under $4, much cheaper than other cafes. The Dirty Chai was very good with a unique blend of spices. We sat inside the cafe to browse their eclectic selection of books. It was a little dusty back there, but they had a nice selection of "coffee table" books that were fun to flip through as we enjoyed our coffee. I also noticed that their furniture was very unique and sleek. The baristas were very laid back and kind, wishing us a Happy New Year as we left. I will certainly try to make it back here in 2013! read more

Considering the location in Oceanside, this is actually a very cool, eclectic coffee spot. Great decor, this is a little taste of Berkeley in the north county. Plenty of books, couches and cool art to check out- This is a good spot to hang out and drink a quick morning reset cup. Decent if not spectacular espresso, although made on quality equipment by very kind and knowledgable staff. This is one of the best coffee shops I've been to in north county, made surprising by its location in Oceanside. Good, solid coffee shop- Recommended. read more

Jitters Coffee Pub - Decent espresso... - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

After wanting to come here for a good six months or so but always missing the opportunity because of their limited hours, I decided to stop by here on my way back up to Irvine yesterday. As soon as I walked in, I realized that it was 3:05 and that they had just closed at 3pm. The guy here was nice though and probably realized I was a newcomer, so he still let me order something. I had wanted to try their Acai bowl but the guy offered to make me an Acai smoothie instead, which I was happy with since they were already closed. The smoothie was pretty tasty, it tasted homemade and had that good Acai flavor I'm used to. They use Sambazon Acai products here, which are my favorite. I can see why they call it a coffee "pub", because it definitely has more of the feeling of a pub than a cafe. They even have a bar you can sit at. They had a display case of CDs for sale from local artists, and they also had a food drive collection basket for the Helen Woodward Animal Shelter set out in front of the counter. I thought this was a nice idea and showed that this place cares about supporting the local community. I'd like to say thank you to the guy that still let me order something even though they were closed. I used to work at a smoothie shop (Robeks) and the second our closing rolled around we would tell people were closed and not take any orders. This was excellent customer service and made me want to return here again. Next time I come here (before they close) I'll try the Acai bowl. read more

I owe the jitters peeps everything. What could have easily been the worst day ever, wasn't, thanks to them. I stopped in this morning for coffee after being up all night with my 2 month old. Sleep deprivation got the worst of me... I had left my wedding rings on my lap while putting on lotion and forgot. Dropped them all in the parking lot and didn't realize until 20 minutes later. While enjoying my iced white lightning and iced white mocha it suddenly dawned on me that I didn't have my rings The nice man found them in the parking lot,and I am forever grateful. I love to support a local coffee shop and this one is great. Nice place, good coffee and awesome people. Thank you jitters. I'll be back many more times :) **edited to add that I stopped in again for a pitaya smoothie and it was DELISH** read more

From the owners to the employees, service to the coffee, espresso, baked goods, location, atmosphere, gelato, premade lunch treats and breakfast on the weekends. I don't think there is anything that I don't love about this place. I haven't had a bad experience yet and couldn't even imagine one at this point. Added Bonus, is that they're located close enough to the water that you can step right out of that icy wetsuit and into that warm cozy cup of yumminess. Don't miss the "super sexy cakes" for the Saturday/ Sunday breakfast. By far my favorite place in North County, I wish I was there right now :) Next time you're in the neighborhood instead of going to Starbucks try a local. I'm sure you'll be glad you did. read more

Best damn coffee in Oceanside, period. Come in on the weekends for an amazing breakfast. I recommend the Sexy Cakes (pancakes) or Huevos Rancheros. Fresh baked pastries are delicious - esp. the muffins! The owners Vallie and Clayton have become friends of mine and are super awesome! I love how it's basically a no bullshit coffee house with extremely low prices. Anyone who knows this place knows it's basically like walking into your second home. You immediately feel welcome at Jitters. There's no reason to go anywhere else. read more

I've been a frequent customer to buy whole bean coffee. Friendly atmosphere and good prices! Owner has taken the time to explain the art of pulling shots to me. read more

Outstanding iced Caramel Macchiato. Starbucks just doesn't compare:) Had a great breakfast sandwich as well. My wife had Avo Toast and said it was the best she has ever had. read more

Our halfway stop from the bike trail. Mexican Mocha is perfectly made by Barista Clayton!

Wow, I'm so sad to have to give this place 2 stars. =( I ordered an iced mocha with whipped cream and a nutella brownie -- $6.75. The mocha was more than I was expecting to pay, but the brownie was adequately priced. The brownie didn't have any nutella flavor (*sniffle*) but it was a very tasty brownie otherwise! The mocha... wow. I REALLY wanted to like this place. Maybe I would like something else. But for something as basic as an iced mocha, I was very disappointed. It was seriously the worst I've ever had. The coffee was bitter, and the chocolate syrup tasted very odd -- perhaps it wasn't real chocolate syrup? Very strange flavor. It was very strong... I asked for extra ice to dilute it to possibly salvage it, but I ended up just throwing the whole thing away. What I did think was a nice touch was that they asked if I wanted regular cubes or coffee ice cubes! I've heard about that, but never seen them in practice. Also awesome was that the cubes were skull shaped! :D Also flowers. Pretty fun. Overall, I might come back for the baked goods, but I'm leery of the coffee. =( It's nice and clean though! read more

This is my absolute favorite coffee bar in America. Genuine, good, friendly, fairly priced (bring your own reusable cup for $1 off), and a laid back but clean and professional atmosphere. This is my new favorite spot for business meetings in the area as there is something for everyone (including wireless). I just wish I had more time to hang out and read what's on their shelves. Must try: Chai Latte with nonfat. read more

Sitting here enjoying a cup off Sumatra. Just finished listening to some jazz by local musicians who were very talented. Free wifi. Cool, calm and inviting. So far I'm in love! I'll update more after visiting more :D For now: Great coffee, Great atmosphere, and Kind people read more

Really cool coffee shop with gourmet food and pastries. Our daughter loved the coffee cake and the avocado toast was amazing! We will definetley be back! read more

Love this place, very welcoming environment with super friendly staff/owners. I really like the different seating options. There are numerous tables, a bar counter, outside seating and soft seating. They provide free wifi. It could be a bit faster but I think for most people and common use it is just fine, I happen to have to run through some work stuff on a term which is difficult at times. I have not tried any of the fancy coffee/lattes or fraps, but I can give thumbs up on the coffee and Kambucha. They also have some quick easy breakfast items such as bagels, coffee cake and other pastries of which I think most are made fresh daily. I personally love the pitaya bowl with fresh berries and bananas. Yum!! read more

Still amazing after all these years-- favorite coffee pub, fun peeps, nice vibe, run into rock stars or just feel Like one.

I was with a friend/regular and ordered whatever she normally gets. It was super good! The guy making the drinks was working some kind of magic. Super good coffee. I didn't try a pastry but opted for some blueberry bar next to register and it was great! Good service and awesome location. read more

What a great funky heartfelt find in Oceanside where coffee shops are a dime a dozen. The breakfast sandwich was filling, affordable and full of fresh flavors. I love Dirty Chai Latte on ice and in all my travels this place put the most LOVE into the drink and it made a difference. The humans were eclectic and the 4-legged's were well-behaved. Next time I'll bring a book and have more time in my pocket. From ATX read more

What a great coffee house. Savory coffee, tasty foods and great service. We had the vegetarian omelet and would recommend this to anyone. Convenient location with adequate parking spaces. If you are looking for a relaxed setting with great coffee, Jitters fits the bill. read more

My mum used to take my sister and I to Jitters from time to time as a special treat when we lived in Vista. I moved to South O about 4 years ago and only just the other day "rediscovered" Jitters, when my husband told me he stumbled upon his new favorite coffee shop that he was sure I'd love. Well, he was right! Jitters is just the right combo of cozy, artsy and coffee. There's a wall of books you can dive into whilst sipping a beverage of your choice. I ordered a black coffee, which was smooth and roasty, with no offensive, bitter aftertaste. The options for food are a little scarce - when we stopped in with family before a hike over the weekend around 7:30am, there were just sweet pastries, croissants and bagels. I seem to recall a bigger selection, possibly later in the day, but I'll have to pay another visit to confirm. Can't wait to go back to Jitters for some more jitters... just gimme some better food options and I'm totally sold! read more

Very good. Loved the booch on tap, albeit a bit pricey (but hey, welcome to Cali). The food was delicious and they were very accommodating to our dietary needs (vegan). Great atmosphere as well. Only thing that I thought was a bit weird was that they were turning customers down before their closing time, as they had already began picking up and shutting down equipment early. Typically cafe's accept customers up until the time they close and then they go through the closing duties afterwards. It's whatever though and didn't affect us - just thought it was worth noting! read more

We were looking forward to going here as it seemed like just the type of place we would love. The man who served us made it awkward and weird as he didn't smile or make us feel like we were welcome. He was just doing his job and going through the motions. For a local business that slams Starbucks on a sticker at the counter, I expected to get help with my recommendation about what sweet treat was the best and maybe a bit of conversation. We arrived 30 minutes prior to closing, and we felt rushed. The staff was talking loudly about leaving, and we put our leftover snacks in my purse and walked out. I hate to rate a locally owned business so low, but I would never go back nor recommend this to a friend. Starbucks might actually give you a better feeling and better food and drinks. Customer service bad and food and expresso average at best. read more

Came here around 11 on a Sunday morning. It was pretty decently full, so there was a bit of a backup with our drinks being made. Plenty of seating while you wait though, little tables and big, a counter, and a handful of couches and cushions. There is book shelves lining the far wall next to the couches, some decent works, some just filler. I plan on bringing some of my own here to donate once I finish them. This place is also a little bakery, so there can be people working in the little kitchen behind the counter and not making drinks (don't think they are avoiding having more baristas). I got a blended Oreo mocha and my friend ordered a double mocha. There was about 8 drink orders ahead of ours so it took about 10 minutes to get out to us. The oreo mocha was okay, a bit heavy on the malt, but still filling. The double mocha was not exciting, though the temperature that they got the milk to was perfect. The whipped cream on both was probably the most memorable bit out of the two. Overall I'd say this place was okay for a little hole in the wall coffee shop, drinks won't amaze you, but the atmosphere is nice at the least. Bring a book to keep you here because the coffee, while plenty affordable, wouldn't. read more

I tired jitters for the first time. Staff was not initially warm and welcoming. Service was "laidback". Not in a good way and the place was dirty. However, this is a coffee place near our home and we wanted to try it, as it is very dog friendly. I love spiced chai and was not sure how it was made at jitters. A girl helped me.. as I explained I did not care for sweet.. she suggested their spiced chai. I did not care for it.. too sweet.. I explained the chai was too sweet. I was told, by a different employee, who seemed more in charge,... "all Chai is sweet..." I tried to share I order chai all the time ... nevertheless ... was not offered an apology or a new drink. read more
