While I was visiting Oceanside, I heard several glowing recommendations for Camp Coffee Company…read more Since I don't actually drink coffee, I decided to stop by and order a chai instead--and I enjoyed it so much! ​It had a perfect hint of spice that made it incredibly flavorful and refreshing. Most importantly, it tasted high-quality and authentic, rather than just tasting like a super-sweet, artificial chai syrup. ​If you are in the area, I highly recommend checking them out, even if you aren't a coffee drinker!

Syrups seem to be a mixture of homemade, Torani, and twenty two barista. I noticed they had many vegan options in terms of pastries Service was friendly! Somewhat limited seating inside, no more than 30 seats probably. 3 outlets available. Wifi and bathroom available. The only downside I would note is the noise level is a bit on the higher side even with noise cancelling headphones, difficult to study or take meetings here. It's much more of a social or grab and go coffee shop. The offer discounts for teachers, first responders, and transit workers as it is conveniently located across the street from Oceanside Transit Center. They also have a points system tied to your phone number. Would come back for coffee!

I tried the Green Fire, which was really yummy. Also had a cappuccino. This has become one of my favorite spots when I'm in Oceanside. I just love the art, the chillness, the banana-theme, the community flavor. This time I saw they had some free stickers and a sheet with recommendations for other businesses to check out in Oceanside. Super cool. See you next time BD!

I love their Banana Iced Shaken Espresso! It's a different combination that I would never think to…read morehave, but the banana pairs perfectly with the espresso. The baristas are friendly here and prepare your drinks with much TLC. It has seating on the inside. There is art on the walls along with an area of merchandise that can be purchased. Tote bags, tee shirts etc. When I want something different from an ordinary latte, I come here. Also, you can order this drink half-sweet if that suits you. The only downside is that parking is sometimes difficult. However, with that being said, if you've never tried the banana- espresso combination, this is the place to do it!

My favorite coffee shop I've been coming here since it…read morefirst opened as a coffee shop, and it's still my absolute favorite. The owners are such a kind, welcoming family they always make my husband and me feel right at home. I love their seasonal drinks, we always stop by to try the newest items, and they it's never s miss. Every coffee I've had has been amazing! My go-to food favorites are the torta Oaxaqueña and the ham & cheese panini, and their pastries are just as delicious. It's not just great drinks and food, you get a cozy, homey vibe, friendly faces, and beautiful plants all around. There's truly no place like Plantology

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!

There's ample seating inside and outside. The interior space and vibe is clean and spacious. They have a lot of great coffee options and their baked goods and breakfast options are outstanding. The Blueberry sweet corn scone was so good that I had to buy a second one for breakfast the next day. The Avocado and pickled onion toast and breakfast sandwich were also delicious. I highly recommend this spot if you're in south oceanside!!

I loved that they had outdoor and indoor seating and had the menu largely printed . I decided to try their seasonal favorites - Honey Comb Latte with Honey Comb Foam (5/10) & a ham and cheese croissant (9/10) . I did like how fast the service was but with the first sip it felt as if I was drinking a plant , had an odd flavor. The cold foam was also not thick, more of a watery base and didn't take that great. I did see a comment that also mentioned the croissant not being warmed up which was exactly what I thought when I received it, but the taste was still delicious , having it warmed up would give it 10/10. I was excited to try the coffee , but left disappointed with the taste. I could even fini

Lots of parking here, the interior of the space is airy and bright with lots of natural lighting and many tables. It would be a good place to sit and get a few hours of work done. however, only a few tables have access to a socket so keep that in mind . They also have a fun little assortment of items you can shop for, including handwoven baskets, coffee paraphernalia, and other merchandise. They have pastries and prepackaged snacks, some of which were gluten-free, which is always appreciated. I got a iced strawberry Matcha, and it was very good. They use ceremonial grade Matcha and a yummy strawberry jam/purée spread. It takes a little bit to mix it into the iced Matcha, but once you blend it in there, as I did, it was really tasty. The staff was very friendly as well! Overall, really enjoyed my drink and the good vibes, and would love to come back.

I went in when they opened this morning and the shelves were only about 20% stocked so I looked in…read morethe cold case and bought a strawberry cake parfait and a caramel pudding. The whipped cream on the cake parfait had zero flavor and cake wasn't much better. The caramel pudding was more solid than pudding consistency. There was no flavor to it and the caramel on the bottom wasn't very sweet so even if you stirred it into the pudding, it would not add much flavor. The best part was the ceramic container. I wouldn't buy either of these items again.
