Beach Break Cafe Oceanside Reviews
I absolutely LOVED the vibe at Beach Break Cafe, the food is fresh, and delicious! Enjoyed the wall to wall decor, stories and pictures. Dropped in on a busy Saturday, and still sat down within reasonable time. Staff is kind, caring, and very attentive. We were a party of 5 and we had a little of everything— breakfast and lunch. All of our food came out cooked to perfection and taste delicious. The warm coffee cake is a must-have, and my favorite dish is Zell’s Scramble. Definitely will be back to this gem! Thank you for your service.
Don’t know why I hadn’t been here sooner. Surfing museum / restaurant has a fun atmosphere! So much surf history to see he but we came for the food. I had the corned beef hash and eggs with real chopped corned beef. We both had potato pancakes with the works , onions and sour cream. Our guests had the Huevos Rancheros and breakfast burrito. The Hawaiian egg special was also very good. Great service , food and atmosphere 5 stars ⭐️
Went here while some relatives were in town. I've been here a few times and thought it was great! They don't take reservations, but we were seated right away. Our waitress was nice. I got an omelet with a potatoe pancake and coffee cake. I love their coffee cake so much! My relatives tried some other food like the country fried steak, the corned beef hash, and a burger. The burger comes deconstructed so you can put what you want in it 🍔 Everyone is chatting around you making for a nice cafe atmosphere, but no music playing. I'd come back!
Service, atmosphere, and food was great! We came around 8am on the weekend and the place wasn't as busy. The restaurant was pretty big and usually they get packed with people that they have an exit only door (from what we were told). We had the veggie omeler and the Banana Crunch French toast. They did not hold back with the veggies! It was so delicious! If you like more of a dryer, crunchier French toast, then the banana crunch French toast is for you. There was a lot of people working (maybe about 20) and a lot of them looked like they were in a good mood. That's saying something! The place has a lot of beach and surf decor. We'll definitely be back.
We had some amazing food at Beach Break over the weekend. The biscuits with gravy were very good and the coffee cake was so nice! I ordered a scramble based on our waitresses suggestion and it did not disappoint. We will be back!
Great place to stop for a traditional breakfast. Outdoor seating covered. A little bit of a wait but worth it. Friendly and welcoming service. Plates are full/nice size portions. Their pancakes 🥞 ARE fluffy, you can actually share the short stack (2). The 🥓 bacon and corn beef hash and eggs 🤤. Their vanilla had me 3 cups in (and I'm not a coffee ☕ drinker).
Excellent food and service! It was a busy Saturday morning but we got sat in like 20 minutes. Love that they have a large waiting area. Their coffee is delicious. I had the corned beef hash and pancakes. Talk about plentiful. My wife had the huevos rancheros and waffle. She moved hers as well. The server was great. Considering how busy they were, she was very attentive. We will definitely be back.
Prepare to have a wait, but the food is delicious and worth it! Love the surfer decor and the random coffee mugs, our table had surfer magazine covers all over. Food portion size is very generous, which is good since it isn’t cheap, our party of 7 was almost $200, they added gratuity to our check. Service was ok, but they were super busy. I ordered an egg white vegetarian omelette with extra crispy hash browns and sourdough. I couldn’t finish it all it was so big and it was super yummy! You could tell the ingredients were fresh, also loved being surprised with avocado slices inside my omelette (usually most places place it on top). I would recommend and I will be coming back!
Delicious, homemade breakfast. Highly recommend the banana crunch french toast. Also amazing coffee cake. The omelette was cooked perfectly. The only thing to be aware of is the restaurant is adding 10% to the entire check because of the high price of eggs. This is true whether you order an egg dish or not. This feels wrong. Raising the cost of dishes with eggs would be fairer. Long wait an hour on Sunday.
The food here is always delicious. We love the Chili Verde omelet as shown here. Its accompanied with a loaded potato pancake. Their coffee cake is Bomb! Smothered with icing, it light and crunchy. The only issue we had, that was reasonable but still i just dont appreciate, is that we had to wait for the entire party to be in the restaurant to be seated. Like just sit me so I can order my coffee, and maybe something else while im starving. 😅 We will definitely always go back!
Came in for breakfast. What a cool restaurant. Surf decorations all around. Really makes you feel like you're dining near the beach. Went early so didn't have any wait. We had the egg breakfast and huevos rancheros. Food was good. Also brought a small coffee cake before the food. Very tasty. Looking forward to trying more of the menu, but wasn't disappointed.
Great spot for breakfast or early lunch. The food is delicious, the menu is large, but not overbearing, and the service was attentive and friendly. The coffee cake was outstanding, as was my meal. My eggs and sausage were cooked perfectly. I love the So-Cal surfing/skateboarding theme to the inside of the restaurant. There is pictures,articles, and memorabilia hung to observe and read to keep you occupied while you wait. It was busy but the turnover was fast and while eating I didn't feel rushed by waitstaff.
The Beach Break Cafe is a wonderful spot for breakfast brunch! The atmosphere is low-key and decorated with lots of cool surf paraphernalia, making it a fun place to enjoy a meal. The waitresses were fantastic and very attentive to our needs. We ordered the Eggs Benedict from the specials board, and it was absolutely delicious. The coffee cake, served hot and topped with cinnamon icing, was a perfect treat, and the coffee was good as well. Overall, I really enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to come back!
Classic Oceanside surf shack turned breakfast legend. Opened in the '80s.. feels like a real locals gem Casual vibe with surfboards on the walls, outdoor patio, and that laid-back energy. Portions are massive. Breakfast is delicious. Classic diner vibes but with a homey feel Expect a wait on weekends. Worth it for the no-frills, tasty brekkie Service is friendly and quick despite the crowds
One of the better breakfast options in Oceanside. Located right on HWY 101 it’s not very far from the ocean and carries that casual, beachy feel to the restaurant. It’s quite large on the inside with many different sitting areas as well as covered outdoor seating, which is where we sat for our breakfast. There is a large free parking lot in back so parking was really easy. Our waiter was also very polite and the service was very fast. Only downside was we had to wait about 30 mins to be seated for a party of 4 for our Saturday morning brunch. For my first visit I chose the Santa Fe Scramble and loved it. The chorizo was perfectly spicy and it was a large sized portion. I opted for the free Coffee Cake on the side and thought it was one of the best Coffee Cakes that I have had in a very long time. It was moist and full of cinnamon flavor and the glaze on top was warm and just mixed so well with it. I would not miss it! Overall a great breakfast spot. I don’t drive up to Oceanside often but next time I do I would definitely consider eating here again and would recommend to anyone else in the area.

We actually shared the fish tacos. We each got one with French fries. The tacos had a nice sauce on them. The french fries were hot and crispy. We will definitely be going back.

This cafe is only open until 2:00 pm, but the breakfast/brunch menu is quite extensive and the food is the best I’ve had! Lots of specialty items like crepes with a variety of fillings and toppings!
Come early, or there will be a wait. But the food is worth it. Excellent ingredients served in ample portions. prices have increased ($4 lemonade!), but its still a great breakfast/lunch local.
Loved the waffles, potatoe pancakes, chile verde omelette, would definitely go back. If busy , you will have to wait. They have a patio for dogs on the side facing the parking lot.
Fries and coffee cake are the real standouts. Generous plates, lots of choices. Particularly friendly service. Killer Burrito was really good.
Cool beach-esque vibe with a solid menu, good food, and great service (servers, hosts, bussing staff). Catherine K was an awesome sever! Lots of seating options, indoor tables, booths, counter as well as dog friendly patios. Small parking lot available or street parking, gets very busy especially on weekends.
I'll start with what I didn't like. Went on a Thursday round 1130 so not busy. Hostess saw us waiting to be seated and ignored us while continuing to talk to other employees and kept us waiting. Also felt like we were not welcomed there. Anyway, other than that we liked this place. Food was good and plentiful. Also not a bad deal. Anyone can have a bad day so can't wait to go back
Visited this past Sunday during a busy rush hour and I could not be happier with the service we received. When we arrived, we were informed that it would be a 25 minute wait so we took a seat to wait for our table and within 10 minutes we were seated. We were shown to our seats and promptly greeted by our wonderful server, Sara. She started us with cups of water immediately and gave us a few minutes to look over the menus. She returned shortly after, took our order and brought out our food in what seemed to be record time! We waited less than 10 minutes for 4 eggs, 1 turkey sausage patty, 2 bacon strips, 1 hash brown, 1 Belgian waffle and 1 French toast. Sara checked in on us twice and made sure that we were completely satisfied with our experience. Overall, the food was very good. Eggs were cooked to perfection, the hash browns were average, the turkey sausage was excellent and the Belgian waffle was a solid 4.5/5 as well. The food was good but the main reason we will be returning is because of the customer service we received from Sara. Her friendly disposition and ability to make you feel at home really tied the whole experience together. She definitely deserves a raise! Thanks for great service and a great experience, Sara!

Breakfast for two (and the pooch) on a Sunday. Nice breakfast spot with a somewhat hidden, enclosed, dog friendly patio. Breakfast was solid and reasonably priced. And they doted on the dog. …
There’s no wait if you choose to sit in front of the counter. Just expect a nice view of the kitchen and service traffic. We ordered plain french toast and banana french toast. The wait was not too long but it was slightly burnt. I was expecting a sweet taste but was left with a bitter aftertaste. It was a 4/10.
