I was searching for a new coffee spot this morning and came across this place. So glad I did! I noticed they serve Turkish coffee, which is pretty unique, but I ended up going with the Almond Cheese Latte. It was so fresh, smooth, and honestly one of the better lattes I've had in a while. The people running the shop were incredibly friendly and took the time to help me pick a drink without making me feel rushed. You can tell they really care about their customers and the quality of what they serve. It's always exciting to find a local coffee shop that's both welcoming and serves great coffee. I'll definitely be back to try the Turkish coffee next time. Highly recommend! read more

I live up the road so I was excited to see a coffee shop open up here. I particularly find the owners are genuinely nice, hardworking, people and I think it's great to support the small businesses in Oceanside. Unfortunately the coffee is just not great. The menu is completely over the top and over complicated- sugar upon sugar. The menu doesn't even list the basics- it jumps right into things like tiramisu cinnamon swirl. The last time I went I ordered a matcha which was just a cup of milk and barely any matcha. I hope they simplify the menu or make it easier to read- it's all over the place. Additionally, the music was so loud I couldn't hear my friend talking. I really hope things evolve and their business can grow. read more

Great local hang. The coffee shop inside area opened up recently and I love the more local feel. I was there when the owner had the cart outside and always great service and smiles every time we come. My favorite is a latte and a muffin which is a hard combination to beat. read more

Mo the owner super chill guy. Fun conversationalist and you can tell he has a really big passion for his business. I definitely will be making this spot a regular on my circulation of cafes. Chill outdoor seating but he is moving from the trailer to the plaza right behind the trailer. He roasted his own beans and the Turkish coffee is definitely authentic and delicious. Will be back to try the food and other drinks. He is open until 4 which is awesome for the afternoon pick me up read more

Sands Coffee Roaster in Oceanside was such a great find. I visited while staying with a friend and we ended up going every morning. It's basically a coffee cart, but the coffee is done really well. Everything tasted fresh, smooth, and flavorful. The outdoor seating area is really comfortable and has that relaxed coastal vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. The barista and owner is very personable and friendly, which adds to the whole experience. There's also a Mexican breakfast truck that sets up nearby and the food from there was great. That'll be its own review, but together it made the whole spot feel like a little morning hangout. It's not exactly a walkable location, but there's plenty of parking and it's an easy stop. I'd definitely recommend it, especially if you want good coffee and a nice place to sit and enjoy the Oceanside coastal atmosphere. read more

My new favorite coffee shop. It's located in an unassuming space and not too far from PCH. The coffee is strong and good quality. I've yet to try the Turkish coffee but I love a good traditional Turkish style coffee. My favorite so far is the Shakerato. It's lightly sweetened but you can still taste the espresso. Service was friendly, 10/10. read more

If you like your flavored coffee to still taste like coffee this is the place for you. I accidentally found this place driving for dd. I told the man/owner(?) That I would have to come back and try for myself. 2 weeks later I stopped by and he remembered what I said lol. read more

Came for a smog test next door and saw this gem! They have all kinds of coffees! I was surprised by the large variety of choices! I was feeling a lavender iced latte . It was very flavorful. they have nice and comfortable outdoor seating to enjoy your drink and day. Also cherry on top! Owner is a really cool guy. Very welcoming, very friendly, and very helpful. Ill definitely be coming back! Thank you read more

Second visit to Sand Coffee Roasters on Oceanside Blvd in the industrial area--and it won't be my last. If you love real coffee, this place is a must. There are chairs and table outside where you can sit and drink the best coffee. The owner (who's also the barista) made me a simple pour-over black Costa Rican coffee, and wow--smooth, balanced, and absolutely worth the 12-minute drive. I could've gone to Starbucks, but why would I when I can support a local business doing it right? Bonus: he took the time to show me the future storefront he's opening in a couple of months. For now, he's running it out of his truck--and honestly, that just adds to the charm. Good coffee. Good people. I'm in. read more

Sooo happy we found Sands Coffee!! THIS place is a proper cup of Turkish coffee. Baby girl is also a fan of their unsweetened banana avocado smoothie. The owner Moe is super friendly and has created a very welcoming atmosphere. Lots of regulars here and for good reason. It's great to see a storefront from what started as a small coffee cart. Support this local business and enjoy a Turkish delight with the best cup of coffee in North County - maybe even San Diego! read more

Love this cute café! Much needed in Oceanside and a welcome addition to the coffee scene. I had a dirty chai latte the first time and then a saffron and cardamom latte the second time and both were amazing. The staff and the owner have all been friendly and welcoming; they really curate a good vibe for all. I loved their little book case filled with literature on Palestinian culture and history and they have a few products by local SWANA makers. Worth stopping by for a drink, a read, or a chat with the staff. read more

Bar far the best coffee/roaster in N county. The ONLY place that makes Turkish coffee! Custom roasting and great ambiance. I kinda hope nobody finds it, but this gut deserves more business!! read more

Highly recommend! I've been here a few times and the owner is super kind + friendly, always making sure the pup gets her pup cup first. We've tried the Spanish latte, tiramisu latte, and coconut latte. I've loved all of them but my favorite has been the coconut latte-- I feel like I'm back in Hawaii! Overall great service and coffee. Will definitely keep coming back, and can't wait for the storefront to be open soon! read more

The honey, sage and lavender drink is amazing. Mo is a mastermind. Roasts his own beans and was happy to share about his process. A little pricey but worth every penny for that liquid gold, and c'mon he roasts the beans himself! read more

Since it's a coffee roaster I ordered coffee! It's pour over so be patient. Choice of dark or medium roast. I opted for medium. Had a nice chat about...coffee with the barista. Coffee was smooth and had the right flavor notes. The beans are from Costa Rica, which I appreciate. They are waiting for permits to come through before doors open on the sit down place. It is currently a cart in the parking lot. Will return to try the Turkish coffee and sweet treat. read more

This coffee truck is perfect! It's located beside another food truck and a mechanics shop. Parking is limited. There was plenty of outdoor seating. It's a great place to hang out. I got their pastries today. It was average. I'm not sure if they made it or not. The chocolate chip croissant was good. The plain croissant was nothing special. Service was friendly. I Will need to try their coffee next time. read more

I heard that there was a new café in town, and I decided to check them out. Introducing Sands Coffee Roasters, located on Oceanside Boulevard and Camelot. Sands Coffee Roasters specializes in Turkish coffee and uses the traditional means of hot sand in order to brew the fresh coffee beans. It was very interesting, just viewing the process and having it explained to me and the beans are very rich and yet are not bitter. I'm not really a coffee Aficionado, but I can really appreciate the care & preparation into this drink and I also appreciate that they have alternative milk options. You can find this small-business gem on Oceanside Boulevard & Camelot Drive, in the Five Star Smog parking lot. They have a very cute outdoor dining-area with umbrella for shading that seats a few customers. The breeze that blows through the area is cooling and the only downside is the random traffic noise. They have a great menu selection that features: Espresso Americano Cappuccino Mocha Nitro Latté Shakerato Affogato Tai Tea Teas Mexican Chocolate I can also appreciate that they serve various sweets & pastries that are all locally sourced. I highly recommend this gem of a café if you appreciate good coffee & supporting small businesses. I also appreciate the fantastic price-points too! Everything is so affordable! I guess the only downside I can give this place is a lack of a restroom, but I believe that customers can ask the Smog Shop next door if there's an emergency. Other than that, this place is awesome blessing to the Oceanside Coffee Drinking Community. read more

Sands Coffee Roasters is a cute little coffee truck in Oceanside with tons of great coffee and tea options. The barista was super friendly and got our big order done fast, even though she was the only one making the drinks. Definitely try the Crème Brûlée latte - it's got a perfect mix of nutty and sweet flavors. I'll be back to try more, especially since they have unique drinks like a Tiramisu Latte and a Peanut Butter and Strawberry Latte. There are a few parking spots out front, plus a bunch of other food trucks around, and some tables and chairs where you can hang out, sip your coffee, and enjoy the fresh air. read more

I learned about this place on IG and it kept popping up so I had to try. How unique the set up is and even more so the menu offerings and warm welcome. There's a great breeze in this spot, lots of seating available with umbrellas, music bumping, taco truck next door. My unsweetened iced pistachio latte was such a treat and a perfectly cool pick me up on a warm Tuesday afternoon. Absolutely delicious and kind to my wallet at only $5.75. I'll definitely be back! read more

Delicious, strong coffee. The man working immediately greeted me and started on my Biscoff Latte. Has cute outdoor seating area! They're expanding into the building and I'm very excited to try their other drinks! read more

I have been curious about this newer spot and am so glad I made time to stop in. There were so many options which was a little overwhelming so I ended up getting an Iced Coffee. It was very good and had a nice flavor. The price seemed very fair which is great. I am not sure if there are different sizes but would be interested in a bigger option if possible. My only compliant is that there was SO much ice I could barley get my straw in. I usually always ask for light ice and did not this time unfortunately. I look forward to trying more drinks there soon! read more

Such good coffee! Mo, the owner, uses such a delicious bean which I believe he roasts himself. Everything from a plain drip coffee to the cool drinks like Lavender Honey Latte is just amazing and he customizes to each person with a smile. You really leave feeling happy because Mo is so genuinely cheerful. Oh and the new patio is really cute too. Love this place. read more

This is my favorite little coffee stop. The Turkish coffee is amazing and Mo serves it with a piece of Turkish Delight to create a balance of flavors. The Ceremonial Matcha is also very good. I really enjoy supporting this local business, because not only are the beverages good, but Mo is the nicest guy who provides fantastic customer service. I can't wait for the brick and mortar shop to open! read more

Stopped here every morning of our trip and again one afternoon because it's that good! Turkish coffee was amazing and the owner (who is incredibly kind and fun to talk to) even served a piece of Turkish Delight alongside it which was seriously incredible, as were all the iced coffee drinks I tried. Such a cute little cart, I can't wait to come back and visit when the brick and mortar place is up! read more

Excellent Dubai chocolate latte! Also they have a great Dubai chocolate bar! Very friendly and very quick service.

Fantastic Coffee and Great Vibes! Yesterday, I had the chance to stop by this pretty cool coffee trailer, and it did not disappoint! The owner was incredibly friendly and took the time to have a pleasant conversation while preparing the drinks. The traditional Turkish coffee was spot on--rich and flavorful--but if you're in the mood for something else, Sands Coffee has plenty of options that won't disappoint either. Highly recommend checking this spot out for great coffee and even better service! read more

Some of the most unique coffee drinks I've tried thus far. Don't get me wrong I love Starbucks but this place blows them out of the water.
