Parlor Doughnuts is always incredible. Pretty bummed that my local location in North Park has been…read moreclosed for quite some time, but it's so good that I'm willing to make the trek (on public transportation, no less) to this location. It's in Downtown Oceanside very close to the beach/oceanfront, surrounded by tons of restaurants. The store is pretty tiny, with some outdoor seating. The store keeps the doors open, so it can feel pretty stuffy inside on hotter days. The staff working is always pretty attentive and pleasant.

Okay, I was already excited for gelato, but this place somehow managed to exceed expectations…read more First off, every flavor we tried was amazing, but the pistachio? Yeah... that's the one. I would happily make questionable life decisions for another scoop of it. But honestly, what made this experience stand out wasn't just the gelato--it was Venezia. Huge shoutout to her for being so patient while we stood there completely incapable of making a decision. Instead of rushing us, she took the time to help us figure out what flavors we actually wanted and gave us recommendations that absolutely did not miss. She was incredibly sweet, genuinely welcoming, and made the whole experience so much better. And listen, this place is about an hour drive for me. An HOUR. Yet I'm already planning my return trip because the quality of the gelato and the service made it 100% worth it. If you're anywhere near this place, do yourself a favor and stop by. The gelato is ridiculously creamy, packed with flavor, and made with the kind of quality you can taste immediately. Dare I say it... the creaminess might even be better than An's Gelato . 10/10. Came for the gelato, left wanting to be friends with Venezia

Loveeee great customer service, which that implies that they'll make it if they can We went with our children (3 of them) and the girl wasn't very kid friendly, but she did make really good hot chocolates so there's that. They stay pretty busy and it's pretty small inside. we ended up trying the Indian food next door and totally recommend that too!

Regardless of the presentation, I was not a big fan of the taste. There's nothing that really stand out to me. Not even the drinks, they can either be really bland, milky, or sweet. I mean, to each their own right? I decide to follow up with a second visit for a birthday cake to see if the cake would change my mind. Although was still disappointed. I guess this place was just not meant for me. I will say this place is really nice and aesthetic. Visually pretty and clean, I'll give them that. As well as their customer service, they have a couple of staff that are really nice and welcoming. I appreciate the help I received on the two visits I took here.

My friend and I had a wonderful first visit at Bliss Tea & Treats with Rushell! Her current…read morelocation is in her transformed back patio. As soon as you walk through the entrance gate, you are transported to a lovely tea garden. We did make reservations ahead as it is reservation only. Rushell greeted us and we were quickly seated. We chose the La Dolce Vita Tea Experience. We were able to sniff the tea leaves first in individual test tubes which absolutely helped me pick my tea. I loved that experience! Once everything was selected, we were brought out our teas and salads. The salad was refreshing and I especially enjoyed the fresh tomatoes, garbanzo beans, and house vinaigrette. I had the Eiffel tea and absolutely loved it. I typically prefer black teas with either hints of floral or fruit notes and this tea had the perfect combination. We were then given our individual towers/ tea tiers which consisted of three sandwiches (smoked salmon pinwheels, apple Brie melt, and Prosciutto, Feta And Balsamic Fig Sandwich) of our choosing, a cranberry orange cake scone with creme Fraîche and strawberry preserves, and a trio of desserts (lemon cake with blueberries, petite four, and a rosemary shortbread). I honestly loved everything I ordered. I loved the cake scone as it was very moist and the sandwiches were all divine with powerful flavors in each bite. I didn't love the creme fraîche, as I prefer clotted cream with my scones, but it does offer a great break from sweetness of the cake scone. I especially enjoyed how toasted the Apple Brie melt was. I love short breads and petite fours, so I'm a bit biased but they were my favorite desserts. Not only did we have a lovely time due to the atmosphere, tea, and delicious food, but we thoroughly enjoyed Rushell herself! She was so welcoming and shared so much with us. Happy to always support local and especially women-owned businesses. I can't wait to go back!

Thank you for the last 18 years....your breakfast/lunch menu was always made with freshness and love. Your pastries are next level, what more can I say...and the staff were always so amazing!

I've only been to Petit Madeline twice…read more Once before we moved to Oceanside and once more recently, a 10 year gap. And when I had a taste of their food a couple of days ago, I'm not sure why I didn't come back sooner. Service was very pleasant. Plenty of seating. Had the chicken and waffles and it was really good. The savory crepes could use less onions but the meat had a lot of flavor. Good locatin also, close (ish) walk to the pier if you want to burn off the calories. Not waiting 10 years to go here again.

The spot is tigh, but if has great vibe and the service is always friendly and attentive. The parking is small, but it's manageable if you come at the right time.

Service was great, and the atmosphere has mom-and-pop shop vibes with a very welcoming and clean feel. They also have both Spanish and Mexican style churros with dips you can get filled or on the side: caramel, dulce de leche, or chocolate. Both versions are tasty and come out fresh!! Don't skimp on the potato balls and sandwiches too. I just love this place. I also love that they have affogatos with a legit espresso machine. They use vanilla soft serve for their affogato, and it was delicious. I didn't even miss the traditional gelato aspect.
