    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.

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!

Me and my friend opted to share a salad and pasta because we weren't super hungry. We ordered the very fren salad and the Malfadine pasta. The salad was fresh, crisp and had a great flavor. The seeds at times felt like I had them all in my teeth, so needed to do a teeth check afterwards! Haha the pasta is made fresh and was light, but so flavorful.

For our first appetizer-type courses, we ordered sliced sourdough with butter and roasted cabbage - both great options. The roasted cabbage ended up being my favorite part of the dinner. It was like a Caesar salad on a juicy, tender cabbage spear with a slight char. I felt like I definitely needed to order some bread to try some element of the bakery. We got another taste of the bakery because we also ordered pizza from the kids menu. I snuck a piece and that was great. We ordered two main courses: one pasta dish and the other was a braised rabbit with morels. The pasta dish was fine but my wife and I weren't planning to share it. We had to share it because the rabbit dish took so long that I had to cancel the order. It was unfortunate because I was really looking forward to that. That was one inconvenience. The other hiccup was they didn't have any beer available because of a cooler issue. They had really good beer on the menu too, so finding that out after I ordered was a let down. I entertained ordering wine or a cocktail afterward but passed. We were sitting by the bar and the cocktails they were making looked really good. With those issues, the manager spoke with us and sent us home with a slice of lemon meringue pie to rectify. We appreciated the gesture and the service we had all night was good. I'm sure this place gets 5/5 stars most nights. It's a super cool place inside and out.

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.

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.
