    Nice airy cafe with really nice family vibes. Lots of babies, dogs and people working. They have plenty of seating space. The workers were kind Creamy earthy matcha, not mind blowing in flavor, this matcha definitely needs a sweetener because the matcha alone wasn't crazy amazing like I've had before. The avocado toast was good, the bread was the vocal point for me. I could of done without the microgreens but that's okay.

    My search for work-friendly cafes continues and Vigilante is perfect! Not only is there ample seating, free available parking and long hours but they also have WiFi and outlets! One thing to note is the WiFi is only available during the work week, not the weekends. The coffee had a good flavor and they did not miss with the classic vanilla latte. I tried their blueberry lemon scone and was told it was a customer favorite but I did not enjoy it. It was dry and cake-like. Not moist/fluffy enough (was more like bread). My friend tried their avocado toast and felt it was pretty filling. Overall, great work space!

    Great coffee shop located right off the 101 in south O. This place is pretty huge and has a ton of seating options indoors with a couple outdoor tables. They have excellent options for both coffee and pastries but what stand out the most for me is their beans! This place roasts exceptionally, take a bag of "tin lizzie" home and thank me later..,

    Vigilante is quickly becoming one of my favorite coffee spots in San Diego. It's located in South Oceanside, just about 10 minutes from the pier, and the space itself is big, bright, and airy with plenty of seating including outdoor options. It's the perfect place to hang out or get some work done. Most importantly, their lattes and service are amazing. My go-to orders are an iced latte with iced vanilla latte and a salted caramel latte with breve, and both were excellent.

    Order the spring lavender vanilla latte

    Convenient coffee shot not far off the highway if you're in need of a pick me up while sitting in that awful traffic. The amount of time it took to get the coffee was surprising considering no one was there to order in front of me, but I was able to walk around and check out some of the things they have for sale and cute wall art.

    Dog friendly treat $2.50 yogurt, honey, peanut butter, and blueberries

    Great warehouse open door atmosphere vibe, chill, dog friendly, lots of places to sit and work, lots of plugs available for charging, they have matcha, coffee, acai bowls, and cafe food! They even sell dog pup cups for $2.50 with yogurt, peanut butter, blue berry and honey. Loved working here. WiFi is great on weekdays but it might be shut off on weekends to encourage people to socialize instead of working. Overall good vibes, great ocean breeze.

    Dirty Chai

    They made me a delicious dirty chai, which was not on the menu. It was just perfect. The vibe is great with cute decor big Aries space and a nice ocean breeze. I will be back!

    Vanilla Latte

    This place was so nice and I'm very happy to have found it. The coffee was really good and I'm so happy with the avocado toast that I ordered. The bread was good and the seasoning was delicious. The coffee was good in a way where you can tell the beans were roasted nicely. Th staff were super friendly and I liked their water station they had. It's a very spacious area with a lot of seating and outlets available for charging. They do only have Free WiFi Monday- Friday though which was weird but this is a place worth visiting.

    Iced Vanilla Latte
    Deepti A.

    10/10 the best vanilla oat milk latte I have had in SD! Just the right amount of sweetness. The baristas are super friendly and speedy service for busy weekend. Plenty of parking in the parking lot.

    Very spacious, lots of plants, good music

    I've only been here once but I love it! Everything's is very affordable, there's one size on all drinks. Simple menu, the service is great. And they have dog treats for your pups when you bring them! They sell nice merch also. I ordered a matcha latte with peppermint in it and it was so yummy, I love my drink! What a great suggestion from the guy up front. I also love their home made pop tart.thanks vigilante coffee!

    Large Vanilla Latte
    Alana F.

    Vigilante is my new go-to coffee spot in North County! This place is packed every time I go, but the line moves quick. Getting your drink can take some time but it's soooo worth it. Lots of seating inside and outside, though, I usually opt for outside since the weather is always gorgeous. Do yourself a favor and get a large latte, it comes with 4 shots which makes it beyond worth the price -- which isn't unreasonable for craft coffee in Oceanside. Will always recommend this spot to people looking for a good coffee place!

    Vanilla latte!

    It is VERY RARE that I write a review while at the business that I am writing the review about. But this coffee shop deserves all the rave. The ambiance is super cool and chill. Located super close to the ocean, it has the benefit of having its own parking which is a SUPER +++ The nice tall barista helped to figure out what is good to order. He suggested the vanilla latte (half sweet) which really hit the spot. They know their stuff for sure. Some places the baristas don't even want to say hello, letalone help you to choose what drink to get. I always like to see what they recommend and what their specialty is. Their ceramic mugs are HUGE and they fill it up! I HATE when some coffee shops don't offer ceramic cups. Some of them don't even have large size drink cups which is super LAME! Not this place! If you are ever in the area or heading to SD, this is a great charging station! Triple bookmark it!

    Vigilante Coffee is a must stop. I went yesterday and ordered the GOAT bagel and a flat white, and both were absolutely delicious. The bagel was perfectly done and the flat white was rich and bold. The coffee is strong in the best way, which I really appreciate. Great spot for high quality coffee and a solid bite. I will definitely be back.

Entering: Never greeted let alone not acknowledged until it became barely. As someone who has worked all types of jobs, going as far back as when I was a teen myself - this is important. The two youngest ladies, at the register, were deep in their gossip that I doubt they noticed we walked in; only customers. I tried to get their attention but to no avail until I walked over and stood in front on them where their conversation had to be cut short. One of the young girls look a smidgen annoyed while the other was trying to rush to get my order. Quality of goods: I ordered a chocolate chip cookie, to share later with my girls and orders sometime raspberry for my teen son that he could enjoy later on break. The cookie was huge, yes, but nothing that beats the moist and chewy cookies I make myself at home, which I can't currently do since my kitchen is beinf remodeled. I asked my son on his bougie donut, later in the day, and he did the so-so hand and gave it an ok and dry. At end: we will stick to SK for service and quality.

The servers were very attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and provided too notch customer service. I love when they can speak to the menu and offer suggestions. 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. We did not leave a morsel on the plate! I only walked through the inside to find a restroom. It looked like they had a lot of seating for larger parties and a private dining room as well.

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.
