    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

    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!

    Great authentic Turkish coffee! The owner is super nice. The other patrons were great to chat with while there. The Turkish Delight was great too!

    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.

    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.

    Dear Yelp Community, Tried this mobile coffee company recently. For a small cart, the menu is extensive. Staff is cheerful. Brings hospitality to the area. Well wishes. Sincerely, Anna

    Saffron Vanilla Cardamom Latte  it's delicious

    I'm excited for them to open their store soon! Their lattes are excellent (I tried the biscoff and the Vanilla saffron cardamom). Great energy from the owner made our experience even better- we can't wait to come back.

    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.

    The service was well, good coffee if you like bananas and coconut. Support local businesses!

    Friendly and helpful service. Had a lavender coffee. Not to sweet. I enjoyed it and would get it again. Cutest lil coffee trailer. I liked the cups sleeve also. It covered the whole cup. There are tables and chairs with umbrellas in front also.

    Banana latte

    Very good coffee. Mom and pop shop. We got their banana latte and Colombian roast and it came out really good. They have a very wide variety of different coffees.

The owner greeted me and was really kind. I ordered the spicy hummus, gyro wrap, and chicken kebab salad. It was all very flavorful. The tzatziki sauce was like no other and had a familiar taste I couldn't really hone in on what it was. I wish I grabbed more for my gyro because it was a pretty good size and was packed with meat. I've had many gyros in my day and I can say this one was well sized and also well priced for what you get. My wife's chicken kebab salad was also a hit. Not only was her chicken kebab very flavorful with Lebanese spices but the salad dressing it came with was also a very flavorful herby vinaigrette. I noticed there wasn't anybody inside the restaurant but it was also late. I also happened to notice that they had a lot of takeout orders ready to go. That tells me that this place is a real hit and many people come here for the cuisine. All in all, my wife loved the food and we will be returning again. I can see us getting food here more often.

They have real shish kebabs with several protein options, and we went all in on the family platter. Yes, it's a little on the pricier side, but the flavors are absolutely there and it felt worth it. My one suggestion would be to ease up a little on the sauce portions. I'd love to have both hummus and sauce with the platter instead of just one giant bowl of one or the other. The rice and salad were tasty, the pita was fresh, and we'll definitely be back.

    I found out about Kan Zaman from a 1 star review of neighbor down the street, called Baba Ali,…read moreacross from Lins Grand Buffet. Reviewer crtisized Baba because they had so little meat for so high a price $30 and that "bigger portions for cheaper prices can be found at Kam Zaman." So here I am. I love lamb and the moussaka lamb shank was recommended to me by my server Alejandra. $23 sounded reasonable to me. Besides the entry in the picture she gave me a basket filled with pita bread and brought me garlic butter and chopped Olive tapenade. I spread that inside the pita with the garlic butter and it was so delicious. I am taking the leftover pieces to put in my toaster oven and heat to crispy and spread the garlic spread and olive tapenade at home yum. I do not live in this area I come from San Diego and Scottsdale arizona. But I am selling my short-term vacation rental in Temecula Wine Country and I don't have any food there because it's not my home. So I found this restaurant through the bubba review. I shall eat here as long as I stay in Temecula the service is warm and welcoming and the food is very satisfying. The portion of the lamb shank and rice was generous so that I save half of it in my own takeout box to have for another dinner with a pita bread. Looking forward to the leftovers. some men win I read the one-star review of no remember Alejandra was my wonderful server, checked up me often

I was really unimpressed with the falafel lover meal that only came with 4 falafels on the plate and some rice lol The rice was wet with maybe yogurt? I was not a fan of that. The wet rice was gross. There was only 4 falafels. I love falafel and thought the falafel lover would have more than just 4. Seemed like a rip off for what you get. My husband ordered chicken and rice and the chicken was stew-like. It looked unappetizing and he said it was gross lol I just don't understand the flavors of this Mediterranean place. We would not come back. Ambiance was midrange as it was not too busy and not dead.

Every other local Mediterranean food place prices their chicken kebab at around 17 dollars and some change. This place charges a ridiculous 23 dollars after tax. And they don't even include hummus, but they give you pita bread? ( if you pay an extra 9 dollars you can get hummus! Unbelievable. Other places give hummus for free in their bowls. This place is over charging. After I arrived at the place I and I go in to pay, I had waited 15 minutes as the person over the phone quoted me. But then I find out they don't accept cash?! No where is this mentioned. Didn't even tell me over the phone. Do you think they are cashless in Istanbul? Just absolutely ridiculous. The woman tells me just this time she will accept cash. But she doesn't have change. So I had to pay 25 dollars for my already overpriced meal. ( after I gave her the cash she opened the register and there was cash and coins in there, I could have gotten my exact change back, but whatever. This place is a joke. She then told me to wait another 7-9 minutes. After I had already waited 15 minutes. So after waiting a total of 28 minutes I finally received my food. I honestly wish time machines were a thing because I'd use it to go back in time and never have ordered here. Terrible first experience. And the vibes are atrocious. Non of the staff looked happy. Mean faces everywhere. 0/10, the food was alright. Not 23 dollars worth. I get more for way less at other places.
