The Cup is the best spot in Oceanside for Coffee. The food is bomb too but it can take a bit when it is busy which is expected. There's also an option to order online and pickup. This spot is super popular and locals love it. Some reviewers state that in a bad way and I don't get it. Also can't imagine complaining that they don't wear masks here, go to Portland or SF if you want that... This is Oceanside! read more

When did Oceanside get cool? Was looking for a place to work by the water w/ coffee. I can get beer too at the end of the work I have to do. Vanilla iced honey latte, bacon breakfast Sammy - $9.20. read more

Used to be my favorite place to go in the morning for coffee, but sadly during covid they are not enforcing masks or distancing. I drive by everyday and see it packed with people as if there is no virus! I cannot support businesses that choose profit over the safety of customers! Great going guys. read more

Hands down best coffee shop! We loved it so much we had breakfast there everyday we were visiting from Iowa! The vibe is amazing, sociable, friendly, attentive and the food is so good! Fresh, warm, comforting, and service with a smile even when the line was out the door! So worth the wait! 10/10 recommend from your friends in IOWA! read more

The Cup - Coffeeeeeee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

I mean, could you ask for anything more? Coffee, beer, good food, beach front view!!!! The service here is amazing, I'm a big coffee gal and the coffee/lattes are great. Vibe is nice, cute small seating the front, back patio in the back which is a little more intimate which I love. Great spot to get a good CUP of Joe and walk the beach read more

This coffee shop gets 5 stars from me for several reasons... 1. great local coffee shop vibe- There were lots of regulars and surfers that came through. 2. great coffee AND food options (this is one of my biggest pet peeves when coffee shops serve delish coffee but no good food to go along with it. Who wants to drink coffee on an empty stomach?!) 3. My breakfast sammy was delish, nothing groundbreaking but the perfect way to start my day. 4. Not overpriced but good quality food & coffee I'm not in the Oceanside area often but I really appreciate the cute lil spots that have popped up everywhere. I would definitely come back if I find myself in the area. read more

Love this place! Great coffee and croissants for every morning on the way to the beach which is just couple blocks away!!

Cute little shop serving up the two most essential non-water beverages: coffee and beer. Prices are great, service is friendly, and the ambiance is funky in just the right way. Five stars. read more

10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND! My family and I spent the weekend in Oceanside (visiting from the bay) and this coffee shop was the closest one walking distance from our beach house. I decided to try it out and did not regret my choice! I ended up going there every single morning of our entire trip. I tried a couple of the coffees and a couple of the sandwiches. My favorite recommendation is their espresso or a vanilla caramel latte. Also their avocado-pesto toast was killer and I'm STILL craving it! Also wanted to add the staff was super friendly. read more

Went for a baseball team lunch, never been there before but had a great experience! Drinks and food were great!

My favorite coffee shop on North County/ Oceanside. Great prices, great food and drinks and perfect location.

Tiny coffee shop with excellent prices and tasty drinks. Loved the service here, it gets super busy but they work hard and get through the lines quickly. We ordered a blended mocha and blended caramel coffees and for under $4 each, they were a good deal and great quality. One of the best coffee options in Oceanside and well worth supporting. read more

I love it here and could literally come everyday , the back patio was a very nice surprise! Super friendly staff, great food and drinks, super dog friendly & very local. Will be coming here from now on read more

This place is awesome! The family and I stopped in one morning during our stay in Oceanside. I got myself an americano that was pretty much perfect, while the wife and kids split a breakfast sandwich that looked and smelled heavenly! read more

Having recently moved into the area, I regularly pass by Cup on my way home and have kept it on my bookmarked list of places to go for my morning coffee. I much prefer small mom-n'-pop places to large chains like Starbucks, and Cup proved itself to be one of the biggest reasons why. Upon entering, the inside was warm and cozy and there were about 5 "regulars" sitting at tables and the coffee bar. I could tell they were regulars by the way they were cracking friendly jokes with the baristas - one of the gentlemen even hopping up to help windex the outside window. Coffee was delicious and fairly-priced; $3.50 for one small and one medium coffee. It hardly needed cream or sugar, the flavor was rich but not too strong. There's a small selection of food available if you're feeling snacky, and freshly brewed Kombucha for you to take home - BYOG (bring your own growler) for a week-long supply! The inside and outside seating is cozy, looking out onto the street and down towards the ocean. From the friendly baristas and patrons to the cozy vibes, I can't wait to go back for another cup. read more

Food is good, if your a coffee snob this isn't the place to grab any kind of espresso drinks.

I've been here twice so far, and the first time I went in the mid-morning and there was a long line to order. I ordered the breakfast sammy twice and it was so good! But the wait to get my food was pretty long. The first time I got the salted caramel latte with soy and it was pretty good and decently priced. I ordered the same food and drink the second time, and this time there was no wait and the food came pretty fast. But I ordered the latte with almond milk and it didn't taste that great. The service was great and people were nice. Will probably come back! read more

The Cup - Egg & Cheese bagel with a Salted Caramel Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

Support your local coffee house! Mellow place with a friendly crew. Very good coffee drinks. They have a few kinds of beer on tap too, rotating selections. This place reminds me of a place in Italy where you'd stop in the morning for a cappuccino and brioche, and go back later in the evening with a few friends and have a beer to two and a sandwich. And It ain't f-ing starbucks! read more

While it's not on the menu, they have an excellent Chai Tea. I wonder what else isn't on the menu, doesn't hurt to ask. I really enjoyed the atmosphere including the very friendly staff and the other customers. (Not that the business has much control over who frequents their establishment.) I did notice a very interesting phenomenon while I was there, makes me wonder if it happens all the time or did the planets just align? Every person in the place, including those that got their drink to go, had blue eyes but me. Weird, right? read more

Great little coffee shop near the beach on Wisconsin Street, it has that killer vibe that a Starbucks just wishes it could pull off but never will. Nice decorations, and this outstanding patio area where you can relax with ocean views and the watch world go by (pretty good people watching for Oside). I'm an iced americano connesuir and have a hard time finding a quality drink in these parts. These guys nailed it, I am geeked to have a spot with a friendly staff and such great drinks. My favorite part of my visit was when the barista warned me the drink might be too strong... love at first sip. *Added bonus, the patio area looks very dog friendly* read more

The Cup - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

Favorite spot for coastal Oceanside locals to grab a cup, brew, and bomb sandwich. Coffee is cheaper if you bring you own cup too! I love the breakfast sandwich. Cheesy and delicious. Opens up to multiple taps in the afternoon. Crowd is fun, loud, and laughing. read more

The Cup - Cozy. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

Had a latte to go. It was absolutely delicious. Definitely high quality coffee server here. Cool people too.

We love coming here for a quick coffee or beer before walking on the strand. Breakfast sandwiches are great!

This exactly what a beach town coffee shop should be. Low key, friendly, delicious with some soul.

I was walking around O-Side and had to pee. Not wanting to be the sort to demand the use of a pisser without purchasing any of the establishment's proffered wares, I ordered a beer. The beer was good. It costed $5, and included the carefree use of the ablutions. While there, I "checked-in" with Yelp and attempted to answer the litany of questions. I declared The Cup unsuitable for children because the two tables and counter inside were all for adult-sized folk. Also, there was a homeless dude outside who first requested I buy him a bottle of water, and then demanded I share with him some air. Given my druthers, I would have rather shared with him a serving of antifreeze. Pictures of the establishment and bathroom attached! read more

Hubs and I popped in here to get coffee on our way home from breakfast. The two folks behind the bar were friendly and welcoming - always a plus in my book! We both ordered decaf iced lattes, his with vanilla flavoring and mine with raw sugar. Both of us were very pleased that our drinks were not overly sweetened. The coffee itself was good, but not amazing. I tend to like my espresso drinks to have stronger coffee flavor to them. All in all, we were happy with our drinks and would probably go back here again. read more

This is your place if you enjoy burned coffee. The taste is pretty consistently subpar. Atmosphere is cool for a beer and it's local. read more

This is a small, cute venue. I had a light beer. I didn't have food but their sandwiches looked tasty. What blew me away was the bartender/waitress/ cook, she was the only one working and she held down the fort. She had a great attitude and my friend and I were served quickly and with a smile on her face. I give her props because it was busy and hot and she was the only one working. Next time c I'll try their coffee! read more

Found out this place is close to my home so my boyfriend and I decided to talk a morning walk and get something to drink. I am so glad we did! It's super cute and small. Nice view and decor inside. I ordered an iced chai latte and it is the best o have ever had in my life! My boyfriend got an iced mocha and it was really strong how he likes it. The staff were super friendly. A lot of people were here and all hanging out like they knew each other so it gave the place a cozy feel! I will definitely be back! read more

The Cup is my go-to coffee joint. They are the epitome of local, casual, and friendly. They have a wide variety of coffee drinks, food, and adult beverages. The always have at least two beers on tap and one is usually an amazing pilsner or lager. And if you are in the mood for a cider of spriter, they have that too! As for coffee, they legit have the best almond milk caramel lattes. They have become part of my morning routine and I swear they are the only thing that gets me out of bed some mornings. :) Calen, Taylor, and the rest of the crew are amazing and it is people like them and businesses like this that make Oceanside awesome! read more

Thank you for the great vanilla ice latte! It's was on point! Service was first class and Avocado toast was delicious! Best, Paul read more

One of my favorite local coffee shops!! Good coffee and yummy pastries. We love to grab a cup of coffee (hot or iced) before headed down to the beach for a walk. Staff is always friendly and great prices! We enjoy sitting on the back patio, great for kids and they have beer on tap for the husband! read more

The Cup - Smoked Porter over ice...has a shot of espresso and tastes as good as it looks - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

I came to The Cup about 6 years ago and was impressed with the coffee, but it didn't agree with my stomach. I hadn't been back until this past July and am now a regular without unusual side effects! Their menu is great--not too big, not too small, and they have a good number of their own concoctions that you won't find at Starbucks. I love their iced coffee and can't even pick a favorite flavor...they're all great! Prices are great too...I was able to pay with pocket change one time. It was awesome, especially for someone who rarely carries cash. I haven't been in for an adult beverage yet, but I think it's a great addition to their daytime fare. The crowd is mellow and the lending library near the entrance really sets the tone for a relaxing cup of coffee/beer/wine by the beach. read more

I was drawn to this place because of their awesome Instagram. It was a tad more "to-go" than sit down like I was hoping for. Their service was on point, especially for how busy it was on a Saturday. For what we paid for 1 iced drink and 2 sandwiches, I thought it was a little steep for the lack of experience you get to have, because it's not a place to really "hang out". I think the location is awesome, and the people are great. But for breakfast and craft coffee, I'll probably go elsewhere. I'd give it a 3, but the people were so nice, I can't do that. read more

The cup the best bagel sandwiches and coffee on this planet! I love going to this spot in the early morning for coffee and a breakfast sandwich. The staff is always super courteous and on point. 15 out of 5 stars highly recommend read more

This would have been higher if the food and coffee worth the wait, but the 30 second wait for my coffee only to have it melted because I had to wait 25 minutes for a breakfast sammie isn't worth it. No point in having so many people handle coffee when there's 10 people waiting for 20-30 min for food made by 1 person. read more
