    Charcuterie board! Can add a steak for 7$
    Brian E.

    The food was great and so was the service Mireya was our server and she was very sweet from the second we walked in the door. We got the Charcuterie board to share and it was perfect for two people everything on there was perfect. Was looking for something new and local to Oceanside and here it is!

    Was in the area and never been to the breakfast Mug. I definitely will be back. I ordered the eggs Benedict with cooked spinach instead of the English muffin. Met the owner and was very cool. Come check them out!

    Nutella French toast
    Sarah S.

    First time here , figured we would try it since we were in the area . Walked in and it's fairly a basic setup . Nothing interesting about the dinning area , it did appear clean and tidy . The good : Service was decent , the server was friendly but looked like there was only one server on hand so drinks took a little bit to get . Now on to the bad : Drinks came out , I suggest you don't order the Chai brûlée .. it looked much better than it tastes and I usually love Chai drinks . The other drink the caramel one was better but no wow factor there either. Received hash browns , eggs, bacon and Nutella French toast . The only thing hot was the eggs. The Nutella French toast did not taste fresh . It was more like the frozen French toast you buy at the store , and for the amount it costs, I could do better at home . The ugly : my hash browns had a hair in them, and not just on top, like really meshed into them . I didn't even take a bite , at this point after one bite of egg and one bite of French toast and hairy hash browns we were ready to leave . The server was the best part of this restaurant, he apologized and only charged us for our drinks . Super nice , yes I left him a tip for his service , definitely not for the food . Tip to our server : your a good server , you should change jobs where the taste of food reflects your efforts . We will not be back and I do not recommend this place to eat . It's one thing for pictures and food to look yummy , it's super disappointing when the food that looks yummy is actually quite not .

    The Country Breakfast. Grilled duck breast. Pork patty sausage. Biscuit and gravy. With hash brown side. Yummy.

    Always looking for a great breakfast spot. This place checked all the boxes. Delicious, Friendly, Clean and half a lot of choices on their menu. I was intrigued by the duck breast option and ordered that with the biscuits and gravy. It was really good. The very definition of "comfort food" Omar was really friendly and super quick with the service. Can't wait to come back to try the other menu options. Support this cool local business.

    Great breakfast. Very clean. Had the veggie Benedict and my husband had the omelet. Both were great!

    biscuits and gravy, home fries, cottage cheese,  Side Bacon
    Taylor S.

    Came here after a particularly bad morning where the power went out as I was making breakfast. The staff was so kind and greeted me with a special of the day, which was a delicious soup. My breakfast was amazing - biscuits and gravy - the only thing I'd say is the potatoes could have been a little more crispy but that is a personal preference. The whole place is adorable and cozy, but what really set this place apart was the attentive and prompt service - everything came out so quickly and my morning was really turned around. Awesome experience!

    Strawberry Waffle
    Bo D.

    Went on a Sunday afternoon for brunch and there was no wait. They were out of smoked Salmon so my bf opted for the meat lovers omelet which he said was tasty. I ordered the strawberry waffles and they were delicious even without syrup. I'd definitely go back. The staff was friendly and the bathroom was clean.

    Crispy Chicken & Waffle - just a chicken pattie
    Amanda B.

    The Breakfast Mug is a hole in the wall, a-okay breakfast spot. Nothing fancy, terrible diner, service, and fine food. It's the kind of place you bring your wife you've been married to for 10 years and not a girl that you're dating. You can sit inside or outside on the patio. even though I love chicken and waffles, I wouldn't recommend getting that as the chicken is more of like a ground up patty that's fried. Very basic here, no creative farm fresh thoughts. I think I've made my point but it's fine.

    I really liked the food here, and our waiter was very helpful and productive. They have a very interesting menu, and I do hope to come again so I can try the breakfast board. What an interesting menu item! I do wish they had more coffee selections. Only regular coffee for the hot selection, however there are a few iced drinks. I came in on a week day, so I was not met with a long wait. I was able to get seated right away.

Bread arrived warm on the outside and cold on the inside. For a spot that is also a bakery it was quite disappointing that we would have bread out of the fridge or freezer. They replaced it but it wasn't much better. The grilled cabbage appetizer that was supposedly a hot item was bland without much flavor and had piles of Parmesan on top to cover up the blandness? It would have benefited from a more complex flavor profile. The salmon was over salted and terribly over cooked. Also worth mentioning it was a super small filet for $39. The pea pesto was tasty but needed to be more creamy. For this price point I expected more than just a small salad plate that didn't have anything more than the filet and pesto. The sausage pasta only had a little heat going for it - any other seasoning was unnoticeable and nothing more than what I can do in my own kitchen and could even do better. This place does not compare to its sister restaurants (Campfire and Jeune et Jolie). Definitely not worth the price point and a huge disappointment. Would have much rather spent my money at a hole in the wall that served complex flavors and undeniably satiating dishes.

I ordered the one medium size White Chocolate Mocha Frappuccino with whipped cream and I also ordered one Albacore Tuna Melt that includes Mayonnaise, and mild melted Cheddar Cheese that is toasted in the oven as a Panini. My total cost was $12.00. This Gold Coast Coffee Shop Is located inside the Westfield Shopping Center Mall in the corner on the second floor across from the J. C. Penny's Department Store. When I was walking towards the front entrance to the Gold Coast Coffee Shop last night , I could smell the aroma of a flavored Iced Frappuccino being made in a blender and being served for one of their customers. I received helpful advice on the different kinds of flavored Coffee Drinks, Chai Teas, Coffee Lattes, and different varieties on the Flavored Cold Frappuccinos that were on their menu board last night. The Gold Coast Coffee Shop also serves really delicious pastries I was staring at these pastries in their clear display case last night. I noticed their breakfast pastries were Strawberry Cream Cheese, Blueberry Cream Cheese, Chocolate, Cinnamon with a white cream cheese icing that was drizzled on top on every one if these yummy looking desserts. The younger woman employee told me she has been working for this Gold Coast Coffee Shop for one year now and she does enjoy working for her manager because she is very respectful and will coordinate with her college schedule. I enjoyed my first time experience drinking their really refreshing and very decadent White Chocolate Frappuccino with the added Whipped Cream Topping. And especially trying one of their very popular and New Albacore Tuna Panini Sandwiches. I told the woman employee that I will come back again when I am shopping at this Carlsbad Westfield Shopping Center Mall soon and rider a new flavor. I received excellent customer service and really delicious flavored FrappuccinoCoffee. This Frappuccino was lightly sweetened. I highly recommend this Gold Coast Coffee Shop.

First, couple months ago, I was left waiting for over 30 mins for a breakfast burrito, I thought they were just busy so I gave grace. I went up to ask the status and they told me the cook went to the store to get more tortillas...... didn't bother telling me or informing me. I directly reached out via IG and they gave me a $20 to come back, super nice of them!! Now, fast forward a few months, I had some time to myself this morning and wanted to enjoy coffee and a bagel. (Best sourdough bagels ever) it comes out and the jalapeños are completely blackened on the top like it was burnt to crisp, oh well I moved on and ate half. I began eating the next half and notice that they left the entire piece of paper on the cheese..... so now I'm left wondering did I just eat another piece of paper on the other side and didn't even notice?!! I take it in and tell them. They're super nonchalant about it and ask if I want a refund or another one. They ended up giving me a full refund and said sorry. It just made me feel like this sort of thing happens a lot. I really love this place but I'm really not sure how this keeps happening to me. I just can't do it anymore. Really bummed.
