The Shakshuka Verde was delicious! It is spicy in a subtle way. At first, seemed mild, but as I continued to eat it my mouth began to tickle. The toasted bread with olive oil was the perfect accompaniment. I wished I had one more slice of it as there was a lot of verde sauce with the perfectly poached eggs. As for service, it was good. You order at the counter and are given a number to place on your table and your food is brought out to you. The person taking the order was very polite and answered my questions without making me feel rushed, in spite of the line of people behind me. It has a casual atmosphere. They are dog friendly which is a plus for me. Looks like a great place to meet with friends for brunch or a latte with one of their delicious desserts. I took a Maple Pecan Scone home with me. It did not disappoint! Perfect texture and flavor. Not too sweet. Paired perfectly with the iced latte that I also took home ! read more

Let me set the mood for my TERRIBLE experience here. Mothers day, one person up front taking orders/making drinks. We patiently waited over 10 minutes to have our order taken, mind you there was nobody in line ahead of us when we walked in. After 15 minutes at our table, my wife and daughters pancakes came out. My french toast would be "5 minutes" so okay fine. After us waiting to order, the line piled out the door. People literally leaving the line because only one poor girl was doing all the upfront stuff. About 10 minutes after they brought my families food, a guy came to help her up front but my food nowhere in sight even though the guy that came up front to help hollered to the back to say "the first French toast is ready".. 20 more minutes pass by, my food is still not out. They are done eating by this point, my wife goes to ask for mine to go...10 more minutes, they finally give us my food. Waited so long for such incredibly tiny portions. $14 for an order of pancakes, $21 for an order of french toast. Yikes. read more

Five Stars! Kettle On Coast has a uniquely flavorful menu. The flavors are insanely good, aromatic and complex. It's North African/Mediterranean. Don't compare it to the old restaurant that used to be there, it's its own thing. They do still have some of the "old favorites" (recipes from Petite M) in the front-facing pastry shelf like the famous "all day bun" I came with a friend recently and had a great experience. We ordered the French toast and the Shakshuka Verde, a decaf pour over and green tea. The shakshuka was absolutely delicious with a little heat on the finish but not too spicy. In fact, I think spice would overpower the flavor profile. 2 large pieces of thick bread come with the shakshuka and you essentially use the bread like a utensil. Eggs are poached to perfection. On the sweeter side, the French toast is thick cut and dusted with sugar, and comes with whipped butter and an amazing crème fraiche. Just outstanding! The pour over was okay, it's not my normal choice, so I think next time I will get an Americano or a latte. The pricing is higher than other local places, but you are paying for the elevated menu, so I think it is worth it. After brunch, it's just a short walk to the pier! Also good to know: they have some dog-friendly menu items! Love this. read more

Kettle on Coast opened about two weeks ago, and we decided to stop by on a whim. The previous spot, Petite Madeleine, focused on breakfast and offered some kid-friendly options. Kettle on Coast has shifted toward a brunch menu and even includes a dog menu, which I think is a fun and thoughtful addition. That said, there's still an opportunity to expand the kid-friendly offerings. They currently have pancakes and French toast, but adding a simple kids plate-- something like eggs, hash browns, and a side, would be a great fit especially given how many families are in the area, both local and visiting. They're still serving the same pastries from Petite Madeleine, which is a nice touch for returning customers. The interior has been refreshed with updated seating (the booths remain), new pendant lighting, and a more open layout that makes the space feel inviting. The coffee bar is now set up as a pickup area where they call your name when drinks are ready. Hours are currently around 7:00 a.m. to 2:00/2:30 p.m. Service-wise, I'm not sure if we visited on a short-staffed day, but everyone we interacted with was calm, friendly, and knowledgeable--especially when answering questions about the menu. One thing I noticed was that the person who took our order also brought out our food. Timing was a bit slow: it took about 20 minutes to receive my jasmine rice and closer to 40 minutes for the Turkish eggs. As for the food, the naan was more like a fluffy pancake with a slightly crisp exterior rather than traditional naan, so the description felt a bit off. The jasmine rice was delicious, but I needed a bigger bowl since some of my food started falling out of the bowl once I mixed it up. Overall, we're looking forward to coming back and trying more items on the menu, but will give it a couple weeks. read more

Maybe I need to clarify on the restroom? The walls, door jam and door sticky. The floor was 'mopped' yet it must not be done with a clean mop and a grease busting cleaner. You may also want to look at how the lower foot of the walls are dirty. These may be the 'extras' that are not on the restroom chore list you may want to add. I also noticed that you did not acknowledge that your cashier went straight from the till to making coffee. read more

I had a delicious mediterranean bowl for breakfast, and an espresso. The service was good and very quick, i didn't have to wait long to get my food or drink. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating at this location. And parking is also easy on coast highway and on the side streets, so you won't have to pay. The decor is still the same from the previous restaurant here, and so it is cozy and a great spot to stop into when you are on Oceanside! read more

21 bucks for egg and grits, extra egg. Slow service, mediocre meal. The place that was here before was better tbh. read more

Kettle On Coast - Egg and grits, extra egg - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

We recently visited Kettle on Coast, and it did not disappoint! I was especially excited about the menu--usually, to find something this unique and high quality, you have to drive all the way into San Diego. Having this in our own backyard is amazing! My daughter was so excited for breakfast but couldn't decide between the pancakes or French toast... so we got both (of course!), along with the Turkish eggs. Everything was incredible--we cleaned our plates! The chef has created a beautiful, thoughtful menu. And for those who loved Petite Madeleine, no need to worry--they kept the same bakers, so all the desserts and pastries we know and love are still just as delicious. The baristas are top-notch and truly know how to craft quality coffee. The service was just as impressive--my 9-year-old daughter felt so special. They took the time to answer her questions and offer recommendations, which meant a lot. When we finished, I asked her if she enjoyed it, and she said, "When can we come back for lunch?" That pretty much says it all! You can tell the owner is building something really special--very family-oriented and community-focused. After hearing about how involved his other locations are, I'm excited to see what he brings to Oceanside. We will definitely be back! read more

So I was invited to check out a new concept coffee shop by Chef David and I have to say. The food is PHENOMENAL! ill be telling all my San Diego/ Oceanside Fam n Friends to visit this cute coffee stop with some incredible bites. I wish I took more photos before I DEVOURED my dishes. Its so exciting to see dining excellence that goes against the grain of traditional (basic) egg sandwiches and just overall boring breakfast. I was excited to see what arrived to my table and eager to try unique culture mash up dishes. Mediterranean with an Afro twist. Im here for it 1,000%. Im a kettle on coast fan for sure now and ill be trying every item on the menu!!!! Also my Goldie latte was fantastic I love Lavender drinks and this had the perfect touch! read more

Food was absolutely delicious and I was excited to try a new restaurant. Paying $22 for a small amount of food, no matter how good it was, is not appropriate. I literally had to stop at another place to get additional food for my breakfast. read more

I have come with the tea on Kettle On that replaced Petite Madeleine. The good: they kept many of the awesome staff, and the fresh baked pastries are as delicious as ever. We still have a great bakery in downtown Oside! I got the French toast and it was tasty! I'm not sure I felt the African theme they were going for, but my stomach was happy. Not so good: prices seem to be up across the board. My toast was $21 for one piece of bread, lookin a little sad and lonely on a mostly empty plate, so they are definitely going for a more upscale vibe. Money up, portion size down. My broke self may have to just stick to pastries. read more

Kettle On Coast - French toast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

Came at the soft opening Saturday before Mother's Day. First time having cilbur (Turkish poached egg) and shakshuka (made with green tomatillo base) this place did NOT disappoint. Also had the cappuccino, the pecan scone and cinnamon sugar pull apart. Practically rolled out the door instead of walking The kitchen is small so it does take a little bit for the food to come out, but there was also a live DJ so just a chill morning brunch overall. The servers were really nice and attentive. Highly recommend! Worth the drive from OC down again for this! read more

Stopped by for breakfast and coffee and Kettle On Coast did not disappoint. My husband and I ordered two dishes to share, the French Toast and Jasmine Rice bowl. Both were incredible. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. We'll definitely be returning! We also tried an iced oat milk latte and it was delicious as well. The staff was very warm and welcoming and the overall vibe of the place is great! read more

Coffee shop breakfast reimagined Holy shnikes Batman! This a culinary adventure that leaves you with your eyes rolling back in your head, body shaking, and desiring just one more nibble. The innovative menu is a trip to multiple continents. I have never had a coffee shop provide Michelin quality food at affordable prices. Sorry Givino, your chef surpassed your coffee, which is delectable as always. The dog friendly environment and menu bring a world of joy and smiles to all. The decor is a nod to African design and your grandma's kitchen. Memories, comfort, caffeine, and full bellies guarantee a return visit. I am proud to see The Kettle On continue to grow and enrich the communities around each location. That Bib is on its way. read more

Food and drinks were delicious, carrying over the pastries from the previous business are a huge plus. Staff were attentive and kind, able to help clear up an understandable mix up on the pickup bar. The kitchen is cooking up tasty new options, but portion size is just not there for the asking price. For a menu that advertises the shareable design of the food, I was baffled seeing a stack of silver dollar pancakes hit the table. While we were happy with what we had, I can't personally justify Kettle as a frequent stop due to pricing. read more

Stopped by this morning for their signature. Drink the lavender latte. I can't remember the exact name and the chocolate chip cookie. Both delicious. The main reason I'm giving it five stars is because the barista this morning was amazing. Not only was she providing excellent service. She was running the register, and she was being a barista, and she was getting the pastries for everybody. She did it in such a calm demeanor, and she was so professional. I would trust her with my children. read more

Absolutely loved this new spot! The coffee menu had so many great options, I ordered the matcha latte and it was perfect and not overly sweet. The food was just as impressive with lots of delicious choices from the pastries to their dishes. I tried the shakshuka verde and it was amazing! On top of that, the staff were incredibly friendly and service was great. Overall, the atmosphere was light and open, making it such a relaxing and welcoming place to sit and enjoy food or a drink. Definitely will be coming back! read more

1st this will be my last time here. Got there at 0730, Mothers day. 1 waitress, working the front. Taking orders, making coffee, trying to get bake goodies for everyone. She is amazing. Now the coffee, doesn't taste good. Food tastes different. Owner not as good as the last one. Just different there now read more

This was our third visit, and we've enjoyed it every time. Come hungry -- there's a great variety of food to choose from, making it a fun spot to share dishes with family and friends. The coffee was smooth and rich without any bitterness -- absolutely loved it. We also appreciated the inclusion of pastries from the restaurant's traditional menu; it was a really nice touch. One thing we noticed is that the staff was working incredibly hard to keep everything running smoothly, so it did seem like the restaurant may have been a bit understaffed for Mother's Day; while obviously overwhelmed, the team remained friendly and attentive throughout. read more

Excellent‼ I'm going to start at the top of the menu and work my way down. It's great to have a restaurant willing to expand our culinary experience. Counter service is a disappointment, but who has actual wait staff anymore? I can't wait for the hours to expand and maybe the menu as well. read more

We came here on Sunday for the first time. We thought we would give it try although all the flavor profiles were not our usual. We ordered the French toast and the jasmine rice bowl. We like a sweet and savory. After bite one it was a WOW. The rice bowl has so many amazing umami flavors going on and was blown away. It was perfect how the French toast had such great texture and not over sweet in any way. The new vibe is so chill and calming. Love love love read more

The food was amazing and the service was great. I was sad to see Petite Madeline go, but it does look like The Kettle On Coast bought their pastry recipes and so we still have a cute local bakery in O'Side! Will definitely get the Turkish eggs again. The chicken was delicious, but I did think the chermoula tahini was a weird paste consistency. Tasty, but pasty. Like glue. Was worth trying, but prob wouldn't get again. Coffees were strong and well balanced! read more

The food was fantastic. I had the almond croissant and flat white and I will be going back for both.

Fav cafe in Oceanside! Blown away by the flavors and quality of every menu item we ordered! Still smiling!!! Horchata Latte and carrot cake was pure perfection! read more

Exceeded all expectations, plus outstanding signature coffee. One of my new favorite brunch spots in Oceanside.

I enjoyed trying Kettle for the first time since it was Petite! Having spent a lot of time at Kettle on Grand I knew to expect good things, but the unique flavors made even more of an impact than I expected. My Jasmine Rice Bowl (herby eggs, pickled onions, avocado, wilted greens) was miles better than your standard avocado toast. I'm usually a "push the greens to the side" kind of eater but the greens might have been the best part. Cooked in some sort of flavorful delicious oil. My chai was excellent as well. The server and chef David were very attentive and friendly. Happy to say I still love this place, I'm so glad I can keep coming as a little refuge from the office. read more
