    We came here as a big group on an early Sunday morning around 9am. The restaurant was still pretty empty at that time so luckily we were seated right away. By the time we left, there was a bunch of people waiting to be seated. Everything we ordered was delicious. Everyone liked what they got, which is hard to do with a dozen of us. It took is awhile to decide what to order. Hard to make up our minds with so many tasty dishes on the menu. Their nice manager helped us with a few suggestions such as the Bacon Benedict, the Eggs in Purgatory (shashuka), and Green eggs. Had the Eggs in Purgatory and the sauce was absolutely full of flavors. One of the best shashukas that we've had. The bread bowl was a great concept but it was a little hard to tear. I wish it was a bit thinner. Ended up using a knife to cut the thick bread bowl. It's a beautiful open and airy restaurant. Good was delicious. Service was excellent. We will be back if we're in the area again.

    I was so excited to try the brunch here and they did not disappoint. I ordered the Cali Benny which included English muffins, poached eggs, nut free pesto hollandaise, tomatoes and their truffle Parmesan potatoes. Everything was so delicious and flavorful. The hollandaise was absolutely amazing, I'm still thinking about it as I'm writing this review. Our server (I wish I remembered her name) was also very sweet, friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is really cute too, with an indoor-outdoor feel and beautiful decor. They have fans indoors that function as fly swatters, which is so helpful. Overall, this brunch place is wonderful and I'd highly recommend.

    Great place to people watch, excellent service, tons on menu, and great tasting food. Good took a while, but if you're day drinking you won't notice and it hit the spot. Portions were deceivingly filling so that was a bonus. Definitely returning.

    Kids sliders we asked for American cheese that came with cheddar as our server Julie did not put in the request
    Kiyomi F.

    It's very unfortunate that we were so excited to try this place out. The ambiance is open seating inside and out. A beautiful restaurant that unfortunately, was severely let down by our server Julie. As someone who worked in restaurant hospitality for 6+ years, I never want to write bad reviews as I try to see the light in all situations & honestly can see from both sides. However what happened was just not acceptable in service from Julie herself. We came on a Sunday morning, understandable that it is a kind of busy morning. Everything started out great, we were promptly sat by the hostess (not sure her name, she had red hair) & she was wonderful. We sat there for about 15 minutes before Julie came to our table to bring waters. Once dropping them off, she left to tend to other tables. Extremely understandable. She comes back promptly to take our order & here is where the issue began. We ordered our food, & informed her for the "egg Sammy" to please remove the bacon as one of our family members had an allergy to it. She was informing that it is Canadian bacon, not regular bacon to which we informed to please just take the ham entirely off the sandwich. We also requested for American cheese to be on the kids sliders instead of cheddar, as the child that was with us is EXTREMELY picky and will only eat American cheese. Julie made a clear understanding & stated she got it. Food and drinks came out at a normal time, but unfortunately the egg Sammy arrived with ham on it, and the kids sliders with cheddar cheese hot American. Our server Julie did not come back for us to inform her that there was ham, so we informed the male food runner about the ham. I really wish I knew his name because him (and the manager Cody) are the only reasons this entire experience wasn't a full zero. We informed the male food runner & he stated he would tell Julie and have them make a new one. We felt bad about the situation, & just convinced the child with us to eat the burger with the cheddar cheese. Julie did come back & tell us she was having them make a new one, no apology for her mistake. 20+ min go by, the rest of our family is done eating and the new "egg Sammy" still hasn't arrived. Once it finally does arrive, it is cold, not toasted, & no cheese or seasonings. All we asked for was no ham/bacon. We called Julie over to try to explain to her again the situation & request at this point to just take it off the bill, however all she did was disregard us, grab the plate, & say "ok". We attempted to tell her the issue as we know it wasn't HER fault, but she had the worst attitude and just walked off. The male food runner saw the incident and came to our table and asked "was there something you would like me to tell your server?" Again, I wish I knew his name because that was so sweet of him to even ask & try to help us. We explained to him what happened & he went to go tell Julie. At this point, we felt it unnecessary to tell them about the mistake on the kids sliders as well. Again, working in the restaurant industry for a long time, I knew what was coming next. The manager Cody came to our table & apologized on Julie's behalf, took the egg Sammy off the bill, & gave us a discount as well. Which was so so amazing of him because all we wanted was the egg Sammy taken off at this point, but he went above and beyond to ensure we were okay and apologize for Julie's behavior. Julie never came back to apologize or try to figure out the situation. Again, I can understand being overwhelmed when it's busy at work. But completely brushing off your guests and speaking over them when they're trying to explain the situation is not acceptable in a restaurant industry, or as a human being in general. We thank the male food runner & manager Cody for their exceptional service & do hope that if we decide to visit again in the future, we do not experience the terrible service Julie provided again. We still left a cash tip for her because we are not heartless people & understand that sometimes you have bad days. We just hope this can be a learning lesson on how to handle situations properly and listen when your guests are trying to explain something to you.

    This is very nice place and a very nice location with nice view. The service is always pretty attentive, although they could refill my coffee a little faster. :) (my wife and daughter would tell me that I just drink too much coffee.) The food is always prepared very well and the dishes are whatever called next level brunch fair. It's not your typical second eggs place. An example would be there Parmesan balls, which are really tasty. Everything is always very attractive looking and taste great. I wasn't particularly fond of the chicken and waffles. The waffle batter is not the usual waffle batter. )Again they're trying to take it up a notch but honestly, I would've preferred just regular waffle batter.) The chicken on top looked crispy but it actually wasn't. The batter was kind of thin. The spicy syrup was quite good. Make sure to ask for extra because I don't think what they give you is enough.

    Chilaquiles
    Brittany D.

    I met up with a friend here and it was a nice spot. It's very modern and has a decent amount of seating. The food was good and bit better than I expected. I ordered the chilaquiles and I really enjoyed the flavor. I would definitely go back. I dislike that they don't allow reservations since it makes meet ups a bit difficult.

    Steak and Eggs
    Ariana G.

    Great food, but be prepared to wait it's one of those spots where patience really matters. It was pretty busy when we went, with about a 30-minute wait to be seated. We ordered right away as soon as we sat down, but it still took over an hour for the food to come out just something to keep in mind. It did seem like a rush, though. Melanie was our server and was kind and attentive despite how busy it was. I had the steak and eggs, which were really good, the steak came with a sauce that caught me off guard but worked well, and the cheesy potato balls were a fun and flavorful surprise. My friend ordered the chilaquiles, a popular item, but found them underwhelming, too spicy and lacking flavor, even though she enjoys spice. Overall, I'd come back again, just knowing ahead of time that the wait can be long.

    Not on the menu- Strawberry margarita and peach Bellini.

    My friend jumped on the train in Anaheim and I jumped on in Laguna Niguel. It's such a nice ride to Oceanside. Not dealing with traffic from Orange County to Oceanside is so great plus it's only $10 round trip. Ok anyway, we got off the train and it's a few minute walk to Toasted. We joined the waitlist from Yelp once the train was pulling in and when we arrived, we were 2nd in line. We got seated on the patio almost immediately. First time here for us. Our friend that lives in Oceanside met us here. Our server was Melanie and she was awesome. She was super patient with us. Very friendly. Loved her! We had mimosas, Bellinis and margaritas. I ordered the Santa Fe scramble. It was delish! All of us loved our food. The manager came by and he was great too! We will be back for sure! :)

    Green Eggs
    Joyce Y.

    The good: the servers and managers here are all so friendly and kind and our water cups were always filled. It's cute in here and very close to the beach. There is a $5 parking structure right next door, but pro tip: walk a little bit more and park in the free civic center structure. The bad: we waited 30-45 minutes for our food after placing our order and the pancakes came cold and without the syrup, until we had to ask for it. They definitely seemed short-staffed, so I will probably try this place again, if I'm ever in the area...

    Had to slather with ketchup
    Kandis S.

    After waiting 30min for a table and another 30+ min for food, the food was subpar. I got a breakfast sammy and it was really dry. I had to pour ketchup and hot sauce over it to eat it. The eggs seemed like they came from a liquid box and cooked really hard and dry. The bellini was also not great and I struggled to finish it, like it was watered down. The wait staff was friendly but overwhelmed...def felt like they were understaffed. It was hot and humid and the place didnt have the A/C on. There were many people fanning themselves drenched in sweat. It was also pricey which would have been ok if the food was good. I will not come back or recommend this place to anyone.

    Elvis French Toast
    Stephen C.

    The location in Oceanside is absolutely stunning--perched right overlooking the ocean with a lively vibe and plenty of foot traffic. The views are fantastic, especially for brunch, and it's clear why this spot has a strong reputation as a go-to destination. The menu is creative and fun, particularly the extensive mimosa selection with all kinds of flavors and styles. Those mimosas seemed to be the real crowd favorite! I tried the Elvis French Toast (hilarious and fitting name), loaded with banana and peanut butter in true Elvis style. It was enjoyable, though not life-changing. The Skinny Jane came with slightly undercooked eggs, but the sourdough toast was solid. The Eggs Benedict was genuinely good, and the chicken sandwich was hearty and filling--though a bit run-of-the-mill for the price point. While the food was decent overall, it didn't quite live up to the hype for what you're paying. That said, our waitress Mia?or Maya? was excellent--super friendly, playful, and attentive--which made the whole experience much better. She really elevated a middle-of-the-road meal. I'd happily return, especially to work my way through more of that impressive mimosa menu and soak in the ocean views again.

    All outdoor seats were taken. However, the bar was empty. So, I sat there. There weren't too many people in the main dining area either. It was around 11am. I assume the morning rush had came and went. The menu had a lot of everything, but I keep it simple when it comes to breakfast. Therefore, I got the Plain Jane with a Peach Bellini. My eggs did not come out hot. I think my plate sat back there for some time before being brought out. The bar tender was very pleasant. I'd go back.

    Came here for brunch and had a fantastic time. We started with the mimosa flight, which let me try the pineapple, mango, classic and hibiscus flavors. The mango was easily my favorite, annd I really appreciate that they gave a very heavy pour on the champagne. For food, we ordered the breakfast sammy and the Res eggs. The red eggs were packed with flavor and loaded with fresh vegetables. Every thing felt high quality and well prepared. But make a reservation or come early, this place gets packed.

Beach Break Café totally nails the Oceanside beach vibe. Laid-back, minutes from the water, with genuinely great service. Then there's the food. I was hanging 10 on a fluffy omelette stuffed with tender shrimp, scallops, creamy avocado, and melted cheese. Every bite was rich, fresh, and ridiculously good. Not to mention the side potato pancake, a meal in itself! And the pancakes? Big, pillowy, melt-in-your-mouth fluffy.

It's such a fantastic, family-friendly location with a lively atmosphere and great local energy. The service was wonderfully attentive and made us feel right at home. For my main meal, I went with a veggie omelet and added hot links. I initially thought adding the hot links might be a bit too much, but it turned out to be the perfect combination! Next time, I'll just make a mental note to ask for no mushrooms, and the tomatoes were a bit heavy for my preference, but overall it was delicious. I also grabbed a side of bacon, which was cooked just right. Now for the highlight of the meal: the omelet usually comes with a side of toast, and I was torn between that and their famous coffee cake. I originally ordered the toast, but as soon as our server stepped away, I had a change of heart and asked to swap it for the coffee cake. I am so glad I did! It came out with an amazing warm crust, wonderful texture, and delicious frosting. If you aren't a big fan of heavy sweets, the frosting might be a little rich, but for a treat, it was incredible! Tips: When you pull up and park, keep in mind that the main entrance isn't right where you park--it's actually located on the other side near the street light corner. If you're debating between toast or the coffee cake, go for the coffee cake! You can always ask for the frosting on the side if you prefer it a bit less sweet.

Another thing I liked is that since you pay when you order, once you're finished eating, you can simply leave without having to wait for the check.

I drop a few miles east of the freeway but was finding nothing.

I thought, I just might! Pulled over and pulled up the internet and man, this could work out. As I found the place, it was next to a tire shop but it's it own deal. The menu looked great, but I was HUNGRY. 2 items stood out to my taste buds, either the Tuna Melt or the Italian sandwich.

With both indoor and outdoor seating, plus a dog-friendly patio, it's an easy place to meet friends or enjoy a quiet morning. Parking can be a little hit or miss, but in my experience, it usually hits. Whether you're grabbing breakfast to go or staying to soak up the vibes, Communal Coffee is always a solid choice. Fresh ingredients, beautiful space, and consistently great food make it an easy five stars.

They also have a store selling merchandise and flowers, adding to the overall experience The food was flavorful and perfectly portioned for one person. I thoroughly enjoyed my choices: the caramelized bacon avocado sandwich and the salted maple sandwich. However, the drinks were a bit underwhelming. They lacked the expected flavor and didn't quite meet my expectations. They were still enjoyable, and I am hoping they can get their coffee even better soon

    We stayed walking distance to Buccaneer Cafe and are so glad we made it a point to go Thursday…read moremorning for coffee and breakfast! Everything was delicious and it was a mixture of locals and visitors starting their day! We showed up around 8:30am and the line just never slowed, but you would never be able to tell by how quickly the drinks and food came out!! We would have loved to get merch from here but because it was drizzling early morning they put it away and said they would bring it out, but she never has a chance!! I mean, good for them! Bummer for us to not get a cool souvenir from our visit! Right across from Lifeguard stand #11 with lots of space on the shore to grab a spot with a towel or chairs to sit and enjoy your food and coffee. They do have a few picnic tables and the line of bar stools facing the street to be able to sit and eat there. If we are ever back in the area, this will be a must stop!

Only thing I dont like is how busy they get sometimes. Been in O-side since 81' and only seen it get busier and busier, but that's on me not them. They actually go as fast as they can and still provide quality.

    Buccaneer Cafe - They open at 7 am.  We were there at 6:50. It was worth the wait.

    My wife and I brought our 11-month-old to Piper in Oceanside, and the restaurant made it a…read moredelightful experience for all three of us -- including an amuse bouche made just for the baby. Service was exceptional. Our server was genuinely kind and noticed small details about our family throughout the night, going out of her way to make sure everyone -- baby included -- felt taken care of. The ambiance is gorgeous. It's a smaller restaurant, but well appointed, with a visible open kitchen and bar that give it energy without sacrificing intimacy. It's family-friendly, but easily works for a date night too. Drinks were alcohol-forward and well made. Mine was similar to a very well-crafted old fashioned. For appetizers, we had the oysters and the pea soup. The oysters were very good, though the greens mixed in made them a bit tricky to swallow whole. The pea soup, on the other hand, was delicious. For mains, my wife had the sea bass and I had the pork schnitzel. My wife raved about the sea bass, saying it tasted a league or two above what the price would suggest. My schnitzel was equally delicious -- perfectly deep-fried, with vegetables on the side that cut nicely through the richness. Price came out to about $85 per person, which felt very reasonable given the quality across the board. All in, Piper is a wonderful spot for a special meal, whether you're bringing a baby or on a date night. Ambiance: 4.5/5 Service: 5/5 Drinks: 4.5/5 Food: 4.5/5 Value: 5/5 Consistency: N/A

She went above and beyond by recommending that we have lunch on the rooftop at their sister restaurant so that, as out-of-towners, we could enjoy the beautiful ocean view. It was such a thoughtful touch and a perfect example of amazing hospitality. Thank you, Samantha, for making our visit so special. You are truly the best! We'll definitely be back!
