Nestled just a few blocks from Oceanside Pier, Petite Madeline Bakery & Bistro is a charming spot known for its American breakfast and lunch offerings, as well as an array of French pastries.
I stopped by for breakfast today and had such a lovely experience! Makenna (I hope I got the spelling right!) took my order, and she's just a delightful, friendly young lady. Mackie was super sweet, too—she brought my coffee and the All Day Bum to my table with a smile. I ordered the Greek Bowl, and let me tell you, it was filling and bursting with flavor! It's such a great way to start the day!

This is a really nice bakery. I stopped by to get a few sweets for a birthday celebration and I was very impressed with the slices of cake. I got the key lime tower which was my favorite! It had the gram cracker bottom and tasted amazing. We also tried the berry dessert special, as well as the strawberry passion. All 3 were delicious. The girl serving me was fast and friendly, the dining area was clean, and the coffee was on point. Definitely a nice spot to visit when passing through.

We have loved Petite Madeline for a long, long time. So when we decided to get married, we knew there was only one option for the cake and desserts at the reception. We fed everyone a huge meal and then brought out the desserts. And they were gone in a short amount of time. Everyone we talked to said, “Oh, this is so good!” I was really surprised how fast the desserts and cake got eaten after how much food everyone already ate. But it is because Petite Madeline knows how to make people happy. They know how to make good food that is not dessert, too. We eat there frequently, and we always love it. Their Benedicts are so delicious. Their Greek bowl is incredible. Their waffles are tasty. Their coffee is perfect. Their tea is excellent. My only problems with Petite Madeline are that they don't have a location right next door to me and they aren't open 24 hours.

For our weekly coffee date, my wife and I enjoyed a moment at Petite Madeline Bakery. The service was quick. It felt good to receive a refill on coffee. The bakery shinned and was full of life and customers. The coffee was bold, and our tasty scone was a treat. This gem of a bakery adds to Oceanside's charm and delight. Yes, when are are in Oceanside, you may want to stop and enjoy a treat Petite Madeline Bakery.

It’s such a cute and nice place to eat right off of coast highway in Oceanside. The food was delicious, staff were nice, and they had so much seating inside. The pastries they offered were so cute and delicious! I took my mom here for Mother’s Day breakfast….definitely recommend!

I came for the pancake breakfast with bacon and eggs. Everything was good except the bacon. It tasted different. Perhaps it wasn't pork. I didn't get any pastries but will next time. They looked really good. You order and pay at the counter. Grab your napkins, silverware, and water at the self serve station then grab a table. They will bring your order. I would come back to give the pastries a try.

Bakery
San Luis Rey Bakery & Restaurant is a timeless establishment that serves up traditional Mexican dishes and an array of delectable baked goods. The meals are described as authentic, with homemade rice and beans that evoke nostalgic memories for some patrons. While the customer service may have room for improvement, the friendly staff contribute to a welcoming atmosphere. Visitors appreciate the fast service and express their anticipation for returning to savor more items from the menu.
First and foremost I want to say that the staff is extremely kind and humble and very clean, on top of that the food was extremely delicious with literal taste of freshness. I want to add on how clean the area is for being a very old backery/restaurant. The pastry's alone have a 26/30 points on My scale for freshness, portion size, decoration, and fluffiness. I highly recommend this little hidden gem of a place to eat.

The pork ribs in green chili sauce at San Luis Rey Bakery and Restaurant are absolutely delightful! The tender pork ribs are perfectly cooked, smothered in a flavorful green chili sauce that has just the right amount of spice. The sides of cheesy refried beans and fluffy Spanish rice complement the main dish beautifully, making it a well-rounded meal. The fresh, warm tortillas served on the side are ideal for soaking up the delicious sauce. The cozy ambiance and friendly service further enhance the dining experience. A must-try for lovers of authentic Mexican cuisine!

I went to pick up a pound cake that I ordered on Friday on a Sunday. It was never made and they just threw one in a box and handed it to me. I said it is supposed to be frosted. They young man didn't know what to do. He goes behind the counter and throws some glaze on it. I said that isn't lemon frosting like I ordered. He sent out the manager who was an older gentleman and rude. He said if I frosting it i will have to charge you for a cake. That made no sense. So he went to the back slapped on a blob of white frosting and said here. At no point did they apologize for not having it made and the inconvenience. An apology would have gone a long way. But he was so rude is why I said I needed to do a review.

This place was incredible! The service was toooooo great, the food even better, and the atmosphere.... the atmosphere was incredible too. Like better than the Earth's atmosphere. How can you get better than that. A trust hidden gem. I can't wait to go back and get some more food off of the menu. Great pan too. The service hit a new high for me. I felt like they were all family friends by the time we left. Mmmm Good, not bad.

The atmosphere is nice, they had a live pair performing. It was a tad bit loud but good ambience. The bakery and restaurant are separated so it’s easy to get your bakery items without having to walk through tables. The food was tasty and well portioned. The chilaquiles were not spicy at all, I wish they were a bit more spicy but it’s understandable.

The Crimson Cake is a bakery that specializes in creating custom cakes and desserts for any occasion. They offer a wide range of options, from simple and sweet designs to elaborate 3D creations. Customers have praised the bakery for its delicious and beautifully presented cakes, as well as its friendly and helpful staff. Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, birthday, or any other special event, The Crimson Cake can bring your vision to life with elegance and style.
Nothing matches the taste, texture, flavor, and design of the cakes at The Crimson Cake! And quite frankly, they have the best baked goods in all of North County! I’ve been coming into this hidden gem of a place to pickup cookies, cupcakes and other goodies for various occasions, and everyone who tastes the goods raves about how delicious and delightful the creations are. Alicia & her team are fantastic! I can see how much hard work is put into every single item. I know it takes a lot to do what they do here and the energy, drive, dedication and everything is placed into this local baked goods business and it really shows. I truly can’t stress enough how much talent and care is packed into every one of their confectionery creations. From the moment we picked up the cake to the last delicious bite, everything was absolute perfection. ALL (and I mean ALL) of the cupcakes here are also absolutely DEVINE. I cannot rave enough about this place. THANK YOU so much for making every occasion delectable and for making my nephew’s birthday the most memorable one yet! The smile on his face (and the dino-themed chocolate cake!) said it all. I am a lifelong fan.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about the Crimson Cake, who baked our wedding cake and made mini desserts for the dessert table. Alicia was prompt in her communications and easy to work with. I highly recommend the tasting box! I tried 3 different bakeries before I settled on this one, and am so glad I did. The guests (and even the servers at the wedding) raved about the cake. There are so many flavors to choose from, but the quality of the ingredients (like true fresh fruit) really stands out. Their delivery fee is reasonable (wedding was in La Jolla) and the mini desserts truly are outstanding. The expertise and craftsmanship of the bakers is evident. Thank you Crimson Cake!
Victoria H — Google review
She absolutely nailed this cake for my nieces grad party. She went above and beyond what I asked for and added extra touches to make it even more personal and special. It was the talk of the party. The figurines i bought were pretty heavy and I'm amazed at how well it all stayed together. SOMEHOW only one piece was left, so everyone absolutely loved the flavor. I cant believe a cake made me so emotional but I was truly so happy with this entire transaction.

Thank God for trying their samples for my son’s upcoming wedding. This place was highly recommended by the venue so we picked up samples with a lot of expectations. Very disappointing, I don’t know how old those samples were but we the whole family of 6 agreed on how bad the texture of the cakes is, they’re dry, dense and loaded with icing that it’s about the most greasy extremely sweet thing I have ever tasted, I don’t doubt that their cakes might look beautiful, the finished icing looks beautiful, but don’t be fooled, we tried 6 different flavors and we all voted. The chocolate 2 stars, I’ll give the lemon a 1.5 star, the coffee even had a weird odor. I believe that a cake should look beautiful and taste delicious, specially for a wedding when it costs a small fortune nowadays. Make sure you taste before you order. The entire box was thrown away, and we are a family that loves sweets. (The samples sat at room temperature for 3 hrs)

This is a 10 star review ⭐️ I must say, Crimson Cake is absolutely amazing — they exceeded my expectations 100%! From the very first email I sent inquiring about their services to the cake pickup with their professional and helpful staff, the entire experience was seamless, easy, and highly professional. Alicia is truly an artist and her bakery shop is as charming as it is impressive. Everything I ordered was not only beautifully presented but also incredibly delicious. Everyone at the event raved about the dessert table — it was a huge hit!

I am ecstatic to have found The Crimson Cake. Although I always bake my own cakes, lack of time forced me to purchase a cake for my son’s birthday this year. I arrived early to the shop to snag a “kid friendly” pre-made cake and I felt like the stars aligned when a funfetti cake was available. The ladies personalized the cake and even decorated it with legos to match theme of the day. The best part though was eating the cake. Every component was delicious and it was still delicious 5 days later. From now on, I am leaving the cake baking to the pros at The Crimson Cake!

O'side Bakery is a hidden gem tucked away in a shopping center, offering an array of delectable pastries and great coffee. While some visitors found the service to be just okay, many raved about the impressive desserts and perfectly brewed coffee. The ham and Brie panini received mixed reviews, but the breakfast burrito was highly recommended. Despite being hard to find, this bakery is definitely worth a visit for its delightful treats and satisfying food options.
My review is solely about their coffee it’s hands down the best in the area. I’ve tried nearly all of their lattes, and every single one has been amazing. The staff is always kind and works quickly to get your order out. Great service and even better coffee.

I’ve visited this café twice, mostly drawn in by the high ratings and convenient location near my boyfriend’s PT. First visit: I tried the bacon, egg & cheese croissant sandwich on the staff’s recommendation. The croissant was very flaky—so much that it created quite a mess. While the ingredients balanced decently together, the sandwich was surprisingly bland without the bacon. It was filling, but at $10.50, I can’t say it felt worth the price. Second visit: I ordered the sausage breakfast burrito, which was listed as a popular item on Google. When I opened the container, I was greeted with a pool of grease—not the most appetizing sight. As I ate, I noticed the sausage wasn’t evenly distributed, leaving many bites without any. Like the croissant sandwich, the burrito itself lacked flavor and relied heavily on the salsa for taste. Personally, I expect a breakfast burrito to hold its own, with the salsa serving as an enhancement—not a crutch. $11 for a bland burrito full of grease? No thank you. Service: The staff was friendly, and service was quick on both visits, which I appreciated. I also tried the pumpkin shaken espresso during my first visit, and that was actually pretty good. The pastries in the case always look tempting, so maybe that’s what I’ll try next time. Overall, I’ve been disappointed with the food, especially given the café’s 4.5-star rating. Great service, but unfortunately, the flavors just didn’t live up to the hype.

It was a last minute decision to stop here for breakfast and glad we did! O'side gem for sure! 😋😍 Pastries were a 10/10. Eggs Benedict were on point. Omelet was delicious,hash browns needed some salt but will definitely come here again. OMG cheesecake with berries...best ever!!!

This place is THE spot for a croissant . It’s right by the police station and Pitstop Diner (with plenty of parking, bless), and it’s become our go-to for weekend breakfast. The crepes are so good, and I’m obsessed with the matcha almond croissants. They also sell whole cakes that are seriously beautiful. It always smells amazing when you walk in, just super cozy and welcoming. We love it here.

Best place for croissants and best place for Strawberry matcha that I found in north county. I really like their banana bread latte too. In both drinks, the strawberry puree and the banana cream on top of the latte was delicious and tasted organic. The matcha tasted more premium too. They have a points system after earning 100 pts you get $5 off your order.

I love this breakfast spot a great deal, I sometimes order in, but in order to see what pastries they have we go in person from time to time and they never disappoint. Today we had an absolutely amazing ham cheese and jalapeño croissant that I hope remains as a permanent menu item. It was SO delicious I wanted to take home two more. Their seasonal drinks are always such a hit too. I had an orange peach refresher that I'm still daydreaming about. The staff are always so lovely and a pleasure to talk to as well. 🫶🏽

Le Rendez-Vous French Bakery has received mixed reviews lately. Some customers have expressed disappointment in the declining quality of their bread and service, as well as new charges for slicing loaves. However, others have raved about the exquisite cannoli and other pastries purchased at a local farmer's market. The bakery is known for warm, light, buttery pastries that pair perfectly with their delicious coffee.
We recently got our wedding cake here. I wanted a simple yet elegant cake. It was beautiful and delicious! The owner was very accommodating when I needed to make some adjustments. I have had their other desserts, sandwiches, and bread which are also amazing.

Normally I do not go to fancy schmancy named places, however my significant other has a sweet tooth, me?, I am a savory guy.. Any-hoo, picked up some sweets, she lived them..but me, I zeroed in on the baguettes...now bread and butter..I am in heaven. They have good bread. If you are interested, I am the Master-Blaster of "Scooby Snacks"! News flash, it involves baguettes! If you like pastries, and have a sweet tooth, stop by, but if you are manly savory guy, and love baguette and butter..(pepper jack cheese and hard Salami slices too)..this place is a GO at this station...if you are in the neighborhood Enjoy

Seniors Samba's post & pic got us in here. We bought an assortment of their treats, to try out. Got here around 8am, & all 4 goodies we bought were warm, light, buttery & flaky-fantabulous! These pastries were so good, & even better with a cup of their delicious coffee. I liked their raisin roll & the apricot & custard croissant the best. I saved the pastry, with whole plump blueberries nestled in the center of it, for the next day. We also purchased one of their fresh baguettes. Le Rendez-Vous French Bakery has very solid fresh-baked French pastries here! They also serve quiches & sandwiches, as well.

I ordered sourdough walnut few weeks ago on a Saturday to pick up at certain hour but when I pick it up late the old lady at the counter had a nasty look on me was so rude and nasty that she said she sold it to somebody else cause I was late. I called again today to order she asked do you need it today? She said it's only available on Wednesday and at Farmer's market. It's in their menu but doesn't say so this bakery is a huge disappointment and has a very bad customer service.

I unfortunately, I had to change my five star review of this Bakery. It has truly gone downhill after the French girl quit probably because of the way they conduct their business. The quality bread has gone downhill rapidly, and the service has gone downhill as quickly as that. Nine dollars for a loaf of bread, which needs to slice now they want to charge to even slice it. Taking advantage of their customers who are loyal and have been coming there every week since they opened no more.

Visitors praise the knowledgeable and accommodating staff who are eager to provide recommendations. The gelato selection is a standout feature, with patrons raving about the numerous flavors available and the option to try multiple varieties in one serving.
This place is a 10/10. I love that they care so much about the quality of their products and the recipes are very consistent which I can’t say about a ton of places. My favorite gelato flavor is their pistachio but all of them are delicious! I recently ordered about 8 pints for a board meeting we had at work and everyone went for seconds and was raving about it. It was also very affordable.

Tried this gelato place because of the reviews on their flavors and I gotta say, it is worth the hype. You cant go wrong with the flavor you get. I got a large -- strawberries & cream, dark chocolate, gianduja. My partner got a large as well -- pistachio, tiramisu, and gianduja. I'm not a pistachio fan but their pistachio flavor is great. I've had gelato from Italy & it's definitely on par! Will definitely come back next time and try their affogato or lavender chai. 💜

I mean it when I say it - THIS IS THE BEST GELATO IN CALI!! We come here every single time we’re in Oceanside. I wish they had another location in San Diego but it’s definitely worth the drive up to Oceanside!! All the flavors are amazing, no joke. Their pistachio flavor is elite though! 🍦

Absolutely unforgettable experience at 1022 Cafe & Gelateria! From the moment we arrived, Connor and Erick welcomed us with warmth, energy, and incredible hospitality—it truly set the tone for everything that followed. We sampled several flavors of their artisanal gelato, and every single one was outstanding. But the pistachio? A masterpiece. Creamy, rich, and full of real flavor—it completely stole the show. The stracciatella and coffee gelato were also phenomenal—balanced, bold, and so satisfying. We drove all the way from Orange County, and let us tell you—it was absolutely worth it. If you're in Oceanside or anywhere nearby and haven’t been to 1022 yet, you're seriously missing out on one of the best gelato experiences around. Huge thanks to our friend Nico from Maccheroni Republic for the amazing recommendation—we’ll definitely be back for more!

Fugu Ice Cream & Taiyaki, located on Mission Avenue in Downtown, offers a unique dessert experience. The shop specializes in rolled ice cream, where fresh cream is drizzled onto an icy flat plate and then scraped into rolls. In addition to this innovative treat, Fugu also serves taiyaki, a cone-shaped waffle filled with creamy goodness that delights the taste buds.
We are visiting from Sacramento and glad we stopped in. Everything was delicious. Definitely a one of a kind spot. The horchata Ice cream with cajeta and the mango ice cream with lechera were on point! Soooo good! #FuguIceCream #buzzybooth

I just came here to celebrate my sisters birthday. She’s been here before and loved it so I was all in, especially being an ice cream connoisseur. We all got rolled ice cream and having been to other rolled ice cream places I know it can take a second to orient myself with the menu. However in the interaction it was VERY confusing. I wanted to order a chocolate rolled ice cream with strawberry sauce and fruity pebbles. However they said I couldn’t get that and I needed to order the Kit-kat rolled ice cream sundae and substitute for the toppings I wanted. I didn’t want the kit-kat base on that ice cream I wanted chocolate and they said i could substitute the base for I was VERY confused. I asked how many toppings does just the ice cream come with and if not how much are the toppings. The cashier said they didn’t know and couldn’t tell me. It was weird! I just said forget it I want a chocolate ice cream base with strawberry sauce and fruity pebbles. The other co-worker walked up to the register and helped the cashier. The topping were at no charge. The coworker made my ice cream. VISUALLY: looked amazing TASTE: Great ACCURACY of ORDER: I didn’t receive chocolate ice cream, I got malt crunch. IMPACT: The error was minor My sister got VEGAN SMOREs tho! And hers: VISUALLY: looked amazing TASTE: Fine ACCURACY of ORDER: Toppings were NOT VEGAN, my sister is lactose intolerant IMPACT: HEALTH VIOLATION The kids got: Mint chip oreos: VISUALLY: looked amazing TASTE: Liked it ACCURACY of ORDER: Accurate IMPACT: Good Cookie Monster: VISUALLY: looked amazing TASTE: Loved it ACCURACY of ORDER:Accurate IMPACT: Good

The employees were kind and hard working. The Taro ice cream was delicious. The vegan coconut rolls were lacking flavor. They need to use coconut cream. The oat milk also was lacking flavor. Won’t be returning due to so many other places with better quality products.

I’ve never had Taiyaki before but this won’t be my only time. Had a fantastic experience here- went after a pier walk and the Taiyaki was great! The ice cream texture is super smooth and my entire group loved their orders. I got the Hortcha Fish with Carmel and it was perfect- would recommend. Staff is very friendly and we got our ice cream fast! My ice cream ended up costing about $7- for the location I think it’s well priced.

Ice cream shop
Little Fox Cups + Cones is a small ice cream parlor located in South Oceanside, offering a modern atmosphere with gold accents and a warm, welcoming vibe. They provide high-quality ice cream flavors made with real ingredients and offer samples to help customers explore their unique and delicious options before making a purchase. The menu includes gluten-free choices and cones, as well as creative treats like sampler platters and ice cream tacos.
Visiting from Colorado, I was told that Little Fox serves "the best ice cream you'll ever have," and it certainly lives up to the hype. From the moment I walked in, I was warmly welcomed by the gentleman behind the counter, who, upon hearing it was my first visit, graciously offered me six samples of their most popular flavors. With names like Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Things and Stuff, and Spruce Things Up, each bite was a testament to the artistry behind their creations. The ice cream itself is exquisitely smooth, luxuriously creamy, and impeccably balanced in flavor. I can only hope that Meghan, the brilliant mind behind it all (and a CU alum, as I happily discovered), decides to bring her craft to Boulder one day.

I took my granddaughters here to try it out. The shop is pretty cute. Sasha assisted us today, and she was very friendly and accommodating. They have a wide variety of unique flavors, each more adventurous than the last. I ordered the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood with toasted corn cream, honeycomb, and caramel with caramel popcorn on the top. The hint of the corn cream was a pleasant surprise. I enjoyed my ice cream. Next time I return here, I want to try the taco ice cream and can't wait.

Second time here and its literally one of my favorite ice cream places. You can try all the flavors if that's what you want, however you will not get the wrong one, they are delicious. So far my top 3 flavor are Let Them Eat Cake, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood and last but not least.... this might be leaving the menue soon..... Roasty Toasty! Staff is amazing, its unfortunate to have such a small break time area. I saw a staff member sitting on a tiny stool.

I stopped by Little Fox in Oceanside and was so happy to see they offer delicious vegan ice cream flavors! 🍦🦊 As a vegan, it can be hard to find a good spot with options, but every flavor I tried was creamy, rich, and full of taste—you’d never know it was dairy-free. The shop itself has a cute, welcoming vibe, and the staff was super friendly and helpful. Definitely a must-visit in Oceanside for anyone craving vegan treats! 🌱✨

Fantastic!! Better flavors than McConnell’s and Handel’s. True artisan ice cream and the waffle cones are fresh and delicious.

If happiness had a flavor, it would be served in a cone (or cake) at Little Fox. 🦊🍦 I came in for an ice cream cake… and somehow walked out with a cone in one hand, a pint under my arm, and zero regrets. Every flavor here tastes like it was handcrafted by magical dessert wizards—rich, creamy, and just the right amount of sweet. The ice cream cake? Unreal. Like a party and a hug, all in one slice. The vibe is laid-back, the staff is cool (pun intended), and the fox branding is chef’s kiss cute. Pro tip: always say yes to the waffle cone. And maybe bring a cooler—you’ll want to take half the shop home. Little Fox Cups and Cones isn’t just a dessert stop; it’s a dangerously delightful habit in the making.

so delicious! i ordered a s’mores taco and then we got a sampler to share. we got cool mint, root beer, banana crunch, and the principle ice cream for that (apologies for not remembering the names). the root beer was definitely my fav, followed by the banana which surprised me because i’m typically a chocolate lover through and through. we were told to try the caramel popcorn inspired next so hopefully it’s still available when we make our next summer trip. so yummy! if we didn’t have a 7 hour drive, i’d have been going home with a lot of ice cream.

Nana's and Pops Sweet Shop is a charming, family-owned ice cream parlor located in Oceanside Harbor Village. Since 1999, this nostalgic shop has been offering a delightful experience with its vintage decor and fully stocked candy selection. It's the perfect place to indulge in an ice cream cone on a hot day or satisfy your sweet tooth with a variety of candies.
I ordered an orange and yellow ice cream there. It was wonderful. It supports sour taste, and I was surprised because of the taste. It was one of the delicious ice cream I ever ordered. It was really cold, with a great texture, I will order something new next time. They have colourful ice cream, including cons and cups 🍨🍦

I stopped by Nana and Pop Pop’s Sweet Shop at Oceanside Harbor because I was seriously needing ice cream. I saw several people with cones and bowls on the waterfront and found my way around to the south side of the building. The entrance is quaint and looks like something you’d see in Nantucket—very cute and charming. As soon as you walk in, you’re surrounded by taffy bins on both sides, sold by weight. In the center of the store, there are some T-shirts and other fun Oceanside memorabilia. Along the far section of the wall are the other sweet treats, like candy and such. But the thing I was most after was ice cream. It looked like they had a couple dozen flavors, though I didn’t count them. There are more than enough choices to keep me and my friend happy. It’s great to have so many options. My main goal was something chocolatey and tasty. I ended up getting chocolate malted crunch. I haven’t had that in forever. It was such a throwback, and I loved it. The clerk was super nice and answered all my questions about the different flavors. He was bright, young, and energetic. What more could you want at a fun little ice cream shop in a harbor location? This store, and the others in the area, kind of reminded me of Seaport Village in San Diego—fun and quirky with little treats and gifts. Can’t recommend it enough.

Has been my favorite sweet shop in oceanside ever since I was a kid. The ice cream is pretty good and they offer a wide variety of sweets. However, the best thing to get has to be the saltwater taffy. Best flavors are watermelon and grape, but at this point I have tried them all and they are all decent. I seriously hope this place stays open forever.

Visited the Oceanside Harbor for the first time last week on a Sunday. Came here after kayaking around 4:10 pm. The line was long with probably 15+ people in front of my group. I ended up getting two flavors (1/2 scoop each) single scoop on a waffle cone. The ice cream was good! Not the best I've ever had (I am an ice cream fan) but not bad for a local sweet shop in the area. Pros: +LOTS of flavors to choose from +Shop itself is very cute with the various unique candies that you can take a look at while waiting in line +Ice cream was a cheap price +Service was friendly and pleasant - they are very patient and accommodating with large groups. We were a group of 4 +You can try sample ice cream flavors (this is as of Sun, Sep 5, 2021 still during COVID) Cons: -Located in a popular area, it may be difficult to find parking on a weekend (we certainly did) FYI: They accept CASH, CREDIT, or DEBIT. 30 cents charge for credit/debit

Nana and Pop’s Sweet Shop has been here forever. It’s a reason to come to Oceanside Harbor all unto itself. Like stepping back in time, the long forgotten treats of the ‘Good ol’ days’ are here aplenty. Blackjack gum, candy buttons, rock candy, and you didn’t hear it from me, but they used to sell candy/bubblegum cigarettes but you had to ask. Maybe not anymore, it has been a lot of years since I have. The smell of that candy shop could lull you into a nostalgic euphoria. The ice cream bar is my favorite. They make their own waffle cones and bowl, which is probably why it smells like heaven in there. They still carry my favorite flavor of ice cream, Bubblegum, and it’s hard to find that attractive brilliant blue with multicolored frozen gum balls sporadically protruding about. It reminds me of my childhood and it’s worth the drive just to get a little scoop of that simple heaven. If you haven’t been here, you should definitely try it. I feel like you’ve missed a HUGE part of what makes O’side harbor a place that you want to visit again and again and again. A definite local recommendation, can’t miss it!

I was pleasantly surprised by Village Kitchen & Pie Shop — the food was excellent, and the place itself is incredibly charming and cozy. The atmosphere makes you feel right at home, and the service was friendly and welcoming from the start. As a fan of country fried steak, I have to say theirs is one of the best I’ve had in all of San Diego. Cooked perfectly, flavorful, and comforting, exactly what you want from a classic dish like that. The bakery is also worth mentioning, the pies and pastries are really good and clearly made with care. I definitely need to come back with the family for breakfast. Highly recommended!

Excellent experience overall! We got there around 11 am, just before the lunch rush and were seated immediately. It got pretty busy after we got there and there were people waiting to be seated by the time we left. They have a lot of seating inside and outside. They also have a big parking lot but this place is popular, so I would recommend coming in just before peak hours. We got the French toast and the chorizo scramble with a side of potato pancake and a homemade biscuit. Both plates were excellent. The French toast was just right - not too sweet, fluffy and freshly made. The chorizo scramble was a teeny bit saltier than I like, but savory, with a slight kick and flavorful. The potato pancake didn't have as much salt so the combo worked. The biscuit was decent. We went back later that day to get some pie. They didn't have the banana cream pie, so we got the chocolate banana cream pie and the boysenberry pie slices. For people who like bananas, you will love the banana cream pie. Definitely strong on the banana component! The boysenberry was just right between sweet and tart. The pie crust were flaky and not at all soggy. We have found a new favorite place for American brunch and will be back for sure!

What a delicious stop. Our restaurant didn’t have any desserts but recommended this place. A wonderful variety too. They have sorbet as well. The staff are fantastic too! I was able to taste a few to make sure I made the right choice. It does feel a little odd an cramped inside though. The original pictures gave such a simplistic and beautiful feel. Currently there’s so much stuff. There are two cases to view with choices. Which you almost miss if you do not walk around to the other side.

**Could be the best gelato establishment of all time! I used to visit this spot on a weekly basis in 2017-19 when I lived in the area( those Gaia Gelato days). I remembered always feeling shocked by the flavor in each little bite. Honestly, I've been thinking about it ever since... Just a few days ago, I flew in to SD and immediately took a drive up to Carlsbad to confirm my suspicion. Turns out it still rules. This could possibly be the best kept secret in San Diego. I can't wait to go back!

A nice place to hang out with outdoor seating, making it perfect for enjoying a relaxed evening while treating yourself to their gelato. Their gelato is made with allulose, a low-calorie natural sugar found in fruits like kiwis and figs, so you don’t get that sugar rush. They use fresh fruit sourced from local farmers, no artificial stabilizers, and gluten-free traditional flavors. Their dairy is humane-certified, and you can truly taste the quality in every scoop.

If you’re ever in Carlsbad Village, Gelatolove is an absolute must-visit. The gelato here is hands down the best I’ve had—rich, creamy, and bursting with authentic flavor in every bite.

This spot is ideal for kicking back with a coffee first thing in the morning or unwinding with some gelato after a beach day. I was particularly fond of their raspberry ice cream, and their coffee was brewed to perfection. They do also offer a lot of yummies pastries to enjoy on site or to go.

Where does one go for a coffee date, while it is raining? Pier View Coffee Company. They provide both indoor and outdoor seating. The ambience is warm with dark wood furniture. The music playing in the background adds to the ambiance. The decor offers historical pictures of Oceanside Pier. Hence, the coffee shop is near the pier. Pier View Coffee offers window seating that provides plenty of natural light, great for reading 📖. When the weather is nice, these windows are open providing more of an open-air feel.

My buddy and I are heading to every coffee place we can find in Oceanside this week. One shop each morning for 7 days. We came here for the coffee on vacation, and Pier View Coffee Co delivered. The classic latte was visually appealing and tasted great. The espresso is not very strong, some may love that, some may not. The location is great, the store was great, friendly atmosphere and employees. It’s pricey but very reasonable for coffee in Cali. 4 stars!

Ambience is amazing. The open air, window seating was worth it all. I wanted a smoothie & ended up with the vegan sandwich which was delicious & ever so fresh. Service was decent. It would have been nice to see & fee more friendly faces (service related) but I’m not complaining. The food came out perfect & was delicious. The Pineapple Pete Kombucha was tasty. I’d definitely go back & try out the smoothies. Although I don’t drink coffee, they are well know for their coffee. I ate the sandwich too quickly & forgot to take a picture lol.

I really wanted to love Jitters Coffee—it’s got a chill atmosphere, good vibes, and it wasn’t overcrowded. The comfortable décor and mellow playlist make it the perfect spot to hang out and sip a coffee…if you’ve got time to spare. I ordered their breakfast sandwich (menu price + tax = $20), opting for the “real” version with cheddar and sausage since the rest of the menu is vegan. After ordering, they came back to say they could do real cheddar but not real sausage—so I ended up with genuine cheddar and vegan sausage. Speaking of slow: despite the café being pretty empty, it took a whopping 25 minutes to get my one sandwich. The staff were friendly and apologetic, but if you’re in a hurry, this isn’t your place. That said, if you want to chill, don’t mind paying premium prices, and are into vegan-forward menus (or just love real cheddar), Jitters is a cool spot to unwind—just plan ahead.

Came here after seeing a coffee lovers IG advertisement. Another plus was hearing about the owners and the potential for meeting Jason. The atmosphere is cute and cosy, and the avocado toast is LOADED and delicious! The "latte" was super disappointing...not your typical craft latte. Tasted a lot more like drip coffee with a splash of milk. (Picture as presented :/ ) If you"re vegan you'll appreciate the flavors of their food. Never saw Jason! :( But in all seriousness, great avocados.

Parlor Doughnuts in Oceanside offers small-batch, fancy donuts with explosive flavors. The queue for these treats can get long, but the wait is worth it. From classic chocolate to unique combinations like blueberry basil and maple bacon, they have a wide variety of options. Despite concerns about health, these donuts are meant to be a special treat. They are described as flaky on the outside and fluffy on the inside, resembling croissants.
The line moved really fast. Friendly service with a nice smile. They have about 2 dozen flavors. All looked amazing. I went with one of their best seller. Salted caramel. The texture is chewy n not oily at all. The flavor is delicious!!! Turtle cheesecake was really good. The dough is similar to the salty caramel. A little chewy which I really like. The cheesecake frosting was just perfect! Creamy n not too sweet. I definitely will recommend this place to all my friends.

CHILL LITTLE SHOP w/ mid-tier donut options. I stopped by per my Mom's recommendation as we heard good things about Parlor. It's a pretty big donut organization now across the US, so we decided to try it. I wasn't a major fan of the bread ratio inside my "Sandy Beach" donut. My mom and some other reviews said they're going for a cronut style of pastry. However, this wasn't flaky nor tasted like a cronut. It just felt like an excessive amount of bread without flavor, aside from the top and outer bread layer. The flavor wasn't bad on the outside (it was actually pretty good), however the inside was very underwhelming. Its a shame as the outside of the "donut" tasted like a mix of apple pie and cinnamon roll. I'll give the shop credit for their tasty coffee, I loved my layered cold brew! Service was also hit or miss, a young couple in front of me was treated poorly. I didn't like that. I was treated pretty well, but I hate to see other people my age get mistreated. Only one younger guy (an employee) who was working double time had a nice attitude. My Dad and I were disappointed as the autumn specialty items were not available. This was not a inventory issue, they just didn't have anything ready. I wasn't a fan of the decor, it just was too over the top in some places. I did enjoy the lighting and retro feel, but it felt like this location was trying too hard with the excessive decorations in the background. The bathroom was gross and unkempt. Overall, there's lots of improvements needed at this location, however I believe in second chances so I want to try their other items, maybe I'll be surprised?

The service was great, servers are super friendly. The ambience is chill and welcoming. The doughnuts looked tasty and they have mini doughnuts too plus the prices are reasonable. I got the maple bacon and it was delicious paired with their latte. I also came back to but the mini doughnuts and my friends enjoyed every flavor.

If you want a delicious homemade donut this is the place to go in Oceanside! Only reason it’s not 5 stars is that they were so busy the three flavors I wanted were sold out and fresh ones not made yet. I had to pick a fourth option on my donut choice. Not completely their fault that their donuts are so good they fly off the shelf! Then there is only outside first come first serve limited seating outside.

This is hands down the best and most authentic donut place! Every donut tastes amazing, soft, and full of flavor. Every time we’re in town, we have to stop by and grab some because they’re just that good. It’s definitely a must-visit spot for anyone who loves donuts!

Beyond Disappointing. Please note this review is specifically for the Vegan & Gluten Free Donuts. I’ll gladly update this review if there are updated/changes to these options. For a place that takes pride (clearly visible in their regular donuts), why the hell would you put vegan & gluten free in the same donut without providing regular vegan options too? To top it off, all the donuts are $4.25 EACH for the tiniest bite size donut. It doesn’t matter what kind of toppings, frosting, glaze etcetera that you put on it, a gluten free item is tasteless (or I should say tastes the exact same with a worse after taste than any regular dairy made donut). Also for those that are unaware, most gluten free items are dry too. It doesn’t say on the menu nor did the very sweet & kind hostess that helped us tell me about them until after I asked her what those little tiny things the Pastry Chef was making in the back. She said those are your donuts & proceeded to tell me they were baked not fried & that they were both vegan & gluten free. I was ordering these donuts thinking that they had the option of EITHER vegan OR gluten free options. Very disappointing considering I researched this space & was told by local friends that it’s a must. The regular donuts look absolutely gorgeous & taste (I had to stay neutral about the overall venue & took a bite of my Girlfriends donut) pretty damn good. Do better on the Vegan & Gluten Free donuts. Keep up the high integrity & high quality product that you showcase in the glass cases up front. I’ll look forward to coming back in the future. Hopefully there will be some better options (I’m back in town in November). Thank you Team Parlor Doughnuts for the overall hospitality.

Visiting parlor doughnuts is a must if you’re in Oceanside! The flavors are absolutely delicious and unique—each one bursts with creativity and freshness. What really sets them apart is their unique dough—similar to a croissant and perfectly soft, fluffy, moist, and has a nice chew. The coconut cream filled one was flavorful without being overly sweet. The peanut butter cup had a good balance of peanut butter and chocolate, not too overpowering. The maple pecan was on the sweeter side but absolutely delicious! Can’t wait to try more!

We couldn’t get enough Parlor Doughnuts during our one week stay in Oceanside. We wanted to try them all but there are too many flavors. We loved the apple pie one and coconut cream filled. What a unique take on the over populated standard doughnut market. I think that’s why they’re so popular. Don’t plan on eating there, they don’t have seating. Walk down to Pannikin to get a coffee with your sweets.

Doughnuts were pretty good and sold at an average price. They don't have much beyond the traditional variety, but I liked what I had. The cake based doughnuts are super soft and fluffy. Also appreciated the service. They threw in an extra doughnut and some doughnut-holes free of charge.

If you're on Coast highway and looking for the best donut, look no further. SK's has an incredible and delicious selection to choose from, and each time I've gone they've thrown in an extra donut or a few donut holes for free. Even if the donuts were mediocre, the freebies would make this place worth it. But once you factor in their delicious donuts, choosing SK's becomes a no-brainer. Price is good too. Today I bought three ring donuts and paid $5.00 (plus they threw in four donut holes for free, which I didn't even discover until I had gotten to the car). I could not recommend this establishment enough. 10/10 Oh and they take cash or card.

This is our favorite donut shop! The sandwiches are yummy too and the smoothies! They added a few donut holes to our order. They were fast and efficient.

Pie shop
The Famous High Pie at the Top Gun House is a must-see for fans of the 1986 movie "Top Gun." Located adjacent to the Oceanside Pier, this historic home was featured in the film and now houses a dessert shop called HIGH-pie. The shop offers gluten-free bite-size apple & cherry pies, along with coffee and other beverages. Visitors can also admire a replica of the Kawasaki Ninja ZX900 motorcycle used by Tom Cruise's character in the movie.
The Top Gun House, now home to The Famous High Pie, is a perfect blend of history, nostalgia, and delicious treats! Originally built in 1887, this Victorian cottage is one of Oceanside's oldest homes. It gained worldwide fame as the home of Charlie, played by Kelly McGillis, in the iconic Top Gun film. The house was carefully relocated to its current spot near the Oceanside Pier, where it has been lovingly restored and transformed into a charming pie shop. The Famous High Pie serves up incredible hand pies that are as delightful as the setting. It’s a must-visit for Top Gun fans and anyone who loves a good slice of history with their dessert. With its stunning location, movie memorabilia, and unbeatable pies, the Top Gun House is a sweet stop you won’t want to miss!
Kytka — Google review
These pies were delicious, cooked fresh light, and crispy. Great size for a quick snack and love that it came in 3's. Located at the top gun house so it was cool just to take pics there while you snacked on a yummy dessert. They also have lots of outside seating.

High Pie in the Top Gun House is a delightful blend of nostalgia and sweet indulgence. This historic house famously featured in the original Top Gun movie with Tom Cruise, adds a cinematic charm to the experience. Inside, you’ll find a cozy setting filled with vintage and antique decor, creatively mixed with photos and memorabilia from the film. It’s like stepping onto a movie set with a side of dessert. The star of the show here is the delicious little hand-held pies, served warm with a dusting of powdered sugar. There’s a variety of flavors to choose from. We tried the apple and cherry, and both were absolutely delicious and just the right size for a satisfying treat. Their fruity drinks were a hit with us too. Whether you’re a Top Gun fan or just in the mood for a great dessert with an Ocean view, High Pie is a charming stop that’s well worth the visit!
Christina H — Google review
For those a fan of the Top Gun movies, this is a must visit. On top of that, the pies were actually really good as well as the organic creamy straus soft serve they sell. I was originally going for the apple pie a la mode but they were out. So I ended up getting just one small apple pie and a side of soft serve ice cream. Me and my partner really loved the apple pie bites we ordered more to go. I don’t know what people are expecting and why such low reviews but I definitely thought it was worth the stop and the desserts didnt disappoint.

Don’t understand the low reviews. It’s a nice spot to swing by if you’re in the area. Definitely not a spot I would go out of my way to visit. Prices aren’t bad. It’s $3 for a small pop tart and $3 for a cup of coffee. People pay way more at other tourist spots. Kids loved it. Get the apple pie. Come and get some pies, a coffee and a display of Top Gun memorabilia with a dash of nostalgia. Hot guys spiking volleyballs on the beach are not included.

Customers rave about favorites like the Strawberry Milkshake, The Pearl, Stout & Cream, and Banana Foster. In addition to cupcakes, they also offer delicious cinnamon rolls. While some find the flavors subtle compared to artificial tastes, many visitors love the variety of fun flavors available.
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Little Cakes Cupcakes Little Kitchen, and it was an absolutely delightful experience! From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed by the charming atmosphere and the sweet aroma of freshly baked goods. The cupcake selection was impressive, with flavors ranging from classic vanilla and rich chocolate to unique offerings like lemon lavender and salted caramel. I decided to try the red velvet cupcake, and it was hands down one of the best I’ve ever had! The cake was moist, the cream cheese frosting was perfectly sweet and creamy, and each bite was pure bliss. My favorite is the Tamale de Elote, it's simple but I love it. The staff were incredibly friendly and eager to help, making suggestions and ensuring that I felt right at home. I also loved that they use high-quality ingredients, which really shines through in the taste.

Ordered a dozen cup cakes, a package of brownies, and a 6- inch chocolate cake. The cake was frozen. I let it sit all morning, perfect for dinner. Frosting was Buttery, not overly sweet, cake batter great too. Have not tried the brownies yet. But they look good. If not in the mood to bake these treats, then this is my solution for a chocolate craving fix. Better than supermarket cake/ frosting ANYDAY.

Tan’s Donuts. I used to come here in the late 1980s and early 1990s when I was a college student. Snacking on a donut, black coffee, I’d sit at a table and review my class notes there once or twice a week. The original owners, Mr. & Mrs. Tan and their daughters, worked very hard and had an excellent product and reputation. I’ve recently dropped in after many years away. Three times in the last 10 days! Around noon or later in the afternoon. It’s still a nice donut shop. A little darker environment I think but more food items and beverages are available. The two ladies who work the counter are friendly, imho, and have nice but reluctant smiles. I’ll come back again for a donut or two. I just can’t come as often as in my youth. 01-02-2025

Just a 10-minute drive from downtown San Clemente, Handel’s Ice Cream in Capistrano Beach is hands-down the best spot for ice cream nearby. If you’re heading north on the I-5, take the Camino De Estrella exit, turn right, then a quick left toward Camino Capistrano — you’ll find it nestled right in the heart of Capo Beach. The flavors are rich, the portions are generous (especially the fruit mix-ins!), and the staff is always upbeat and welcoming. It’s super family-friendly, and yes — it gets busy after 7pm, but that just means you found the right place. Whether you’re a local, just moved to South Orange County, or are exploring neighborhoods near the coast, this is the kind of spot that makes the area feel like home.

Homemade ice cream is their claim to fame. I had the caramel sundae with Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie. $8.00. Tiny amount of caramel, two little brownie pieces that seemed to be the only thing in there that contained the Peanut Butter and the rest was what I thought to be soft serve chocolate. Mediocre at best is my review.

I just had to share this delightful experience I had this past Wednesday. After dropping off my dry-cleaning next door, I suddenly craved an ice cream cone. Given the hot afternoon, it turned out to be the perfect choice, and I am thrilled I picked the right place! A wonderful woman at the shop made me a one-scoop vanilla waffle cone, and it was absolutely terrific! She even took the time to educate me on why the vanilla was yellow; turns out it was Mexican vanilla, and let me tell you, it was the best vanilla ice cream I have ever had. The waffle cone was fresh, and the ice cream was simply delicious. I can't wait to swing by and try another flavor next time! I highly recommend giving it a try – you definitely won't be disappointed!

I threw it out in the parking lot, it was frost bitten. So sad. Poorly managed shop on product quality presentation and shelf rotation. If sales are this slow maybe buy half containers?

La Michoacana Mía - Oceanside is a vibrant and cheerful spot with a delectable menu featuring traditional Mexican paletas in flavors like Mango Chili, Tamarind, and Jamaica. They also offer refreshing helados with flavors such as Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Cappuccino, and Tres Leches. The warm smiles and excellent customer service make the experience personal and welcoming.
This is my review of Michoacana Mia Oceanside. With a history that goes back to more than 40 years of tradition, this Icecream Shop serves MORE than just icecream. They have a wide variety of flavors to please any sweet-tooth desire! Michoacana Mia Oceanside is located on Mission Avenue in the Walmart shopping plaza. This is the perfect location for them because there are plenty of food options surrounding them, and there is also a high school across the street Although they are tucked away in the corner, this location will hopefully supply them with patron customers with the student body. Their interior is very bright and colorful and done in the style of Mexican cultural aesthetics. One small downside is that it is very slender and small in design, which can be a disadvantage when it gets crowded. But if you like ice cream or sweet treats, this is definitely a destination to check out. From savory super-sweet, to fruity, coffee-based, to sorbets, to creamy, to spicy, Michoacana Mia has something for EVERYONE!! What impresses me the most is that even with it gets crowded with a line of customers heading out the door, the staff were still friendly, calm, fast and efficient!! Their menu is INSANE!! They’ve got something to satisfy every palette! But I can’t express how amped up I am to try all the plethora of flavor combinations that are available!! Come experience a NEW type of dessert today at Michoacana Mia Oceanside!! @michoacanamia on IG !

I do not recommend the Dubai strawberries! First of all the strawberries were old you could taste with every bite. The chocolate turned rock hard instead of a fudge and the pistachio sauces.. idk what that even was. Please reconsider on perfecting your recipe because spending 15$ on a cup of strawberry. No thank you.

What a treat! Place is clean and staff members are very friendly. Went to try out for the first time and our orders were very delicious. We had Mangonadas, Horchata and an order of chicharron preparado. Very good place for ice cream and other treats.

Customer services = Excellent Place = Very nice Ice cream = Delicious Agua nieve = Very very yummy Michelaguas = Boom Tostilocos = Ok I think it is a new concept in San Diego County. something different from other places and other michoacanas. The first time I visited a Michoacana Plus was in the Los Angeles area. everything was delicious, prices are a bit high, but if you want something good the price is reasonable. Hopefully soon they give us lids for the cups and it will be easier to carry. The only thing I did not like very much was the tostilocos, the fruit was very very very small and not I really like the flavor. everything else very delicious. I recommend this place, all the team very friendly and excellent service. I'm far away, but I'll be back soon.

After waiting a year to make it to Oceanside, I finally tried La Michoacana. YUM! With bright decor and friendly staff, this place knows popsicles (paletas) and ice cream providing a ginormous selection of colors and flavors. All only blocks from the beach. The only thing I wish they offered was a cooler bag so I could have loaded up on treats. This place is great. I can't wait to go back!

disFRUTA stands out with its vibrant menu inspired by the flavors of Mexican street food, offering a delightful mix of traditional treats reimagined for modern palates. One highlight is their Elote topped with hot Cheetos—a unique twist that’s definitely worth a try! The atmosphere is lively, though it can get quite noisy due to the TV playing in the background.
DISFRUTA was pretty good and not too bad. I had a couple scoods of Ice cream. Chocolate chip cookie dough and a scoop of coffee. It was mega delicious. We also got some Elotes, covered with the planning hot cheetos and all the fixings. This place had soo many items on the menu. I can't wait to go back and try some other stuff. Mmmm MmmM corn was good and Korn shreads Ok Bye

I have been to this place a lot of times and this is the first time that I ask for a big smoothie just for the lady to say they are all the same size. Which I responded "I have ordered big smoothies here before.?" So I got more of a juice than a smoothie, it is what it is but if she wasn't in the mood to help us maybe she should of had the other person help us.

It used to be good years ago, certain things may taste good but I just ordered a diablito de “Nive”, most places when u order that it comes with mango ice cream, chamoy, tajin, and the candy on top with some mango pieces. They literally gave me a raspando full with ice and a scoop of mango ice cream on top. This has happened to me twice. My man ordered a raspado de tamarindo, literally just syrup and not even filled it up with ice. IT’s disappointing!

Cold Stone Creamery is a delightful ice cream chain that invites you to unleash your creativity by designing your own unique frozen treats, all expertly hand-mixed on a cool granite slab. As soon as you step inside, you're enveloped in a cozy ambiance, with the irresistible aroma of freshly baked waffle cones teasing your senses before you even glance at the menu. The staff are friendly and eager to assist, making for an enjoyable experience overall.
Not sure why there are a lot of 1 star reviews. I’ve been coming here a few days a week after my workout and always had a great experience. The staff is great; not just interacting with myself but with other customers. Not sure what the other reviewers are expecting in service but it’s simple: they ask you what you want and they make it based on what they have available . Alyssa, I believe that’s her name, always remembers my order and thinks that’s pretty cool. I believe the others as well remember my order because when I’m getting ready to say it they are already hovering my choices with the scoop they use. But Alyssa seems to be the most cheerful one so that’s why I remember her. Overall and honestly, the staff is great. Looking forward to my next visit.

Service was good. Dining environment needs to be more accommodating to sit down with 3-4 people comfortably. Don’t plan on eating in here. We paid $10.79 for a small “Like it” size chocolate ice cream with walnuts and marshmallows. It was too big. Please make a smaller size option. That’s insane. It was delicious; however, not worth the price and we didn’t need that much. Cold stone franchise team needs to do something or you going to price these places out of existence.

I ordered 4 cups of ice cream and literally my kids cups weren’t even filled but the other customer that ordered his 2 cups of ice cream were overfilled that when the girl tried to close it she had to clean it up a little since some came out. I will not come back and if I do best believe I will definently say something if I see I don’t get served right.

Kid with the Glasses looked and acted like he didn’t want to be there. He barely cut the cookies in half and folded the ice cream over it like a blank let and didn’t mix it at all. I got an Oreo overload with him and my husband got his signature ice cream with another guy that did I great job and was nice. I come pretty frequently to pay $30 for ice cream and the experience. This is the first time I don’t tip and it’s very disappointing. I hope he gets retrained because he needs it.

This location had one small table with two chairs upside down on it as if they were closed, two tiny tables with no chairs, and two snotty teenage boys who offered nothing more than handing my wife chairs over the counter to her. Pretty sure customer chairs behind the counter where the ice cream is served is a health code violation. They clearly don't want customers eating in their store. Oh, check out the pic of the filthy table after we took the chairs down ourselves.

Really rude Employee… As soon as we came in she started giving us attitude she was rolling her eyes I asked her what kind of flavor was the ice cream and she answered with an attitude after my husband had ordered his ice cream she walked off and ignored my order another employee had to come and take my order (she was really nice)

So I know that Cold Stone carries a lot of stuff, but I have a nut allergy. I made sure not to get nuts in my order. I didn't get to dig into my ice cream when I got home due to the lid not fitting correctly (either it was the wrong size lid or the girl packed in way more than a small size should have) so I had to let it sit in the freezer after cleaning up the mess it made after mostly melting on my desk. Seriously, was the fridge not working either? It's barely a 5 minute drive home and I didn't even leave it out for two minutes before it melted everywhere. In any case, when I did get a chance to have it today, guess what? Nuts, at the bottom of my cup, and I didn't see them until I ingested some by mistake. I have taken the proper procedures to keep myself safe and will continue to monitor my health, but seriously?? You guys need to make sure that your tools are clean! If someone has anaphylactic shock due to this sort of contamination, that's bad news for EVERYONE.

Very friendly staff, they explained their items in the menu. I was recommended the concha with ice cream. Pictured is a Concha with Pistachio Ice Cream, caramel and nuts. They microwave the concha to warm it up but honestly it was a bit stale, I mean what do you expect? This place is an ice cream shop not a bakery. The ice cream was very tasty and overall it was very sweet. Maybe an option with strawberries or fruit would be ideal next time.

Pizza restaurant
Odie's Pizza Co is a delightful gem in North County, known for its unique grandma-style pizza that features a fluffy sourdough crust. While the vegan options are commendable and certainly stand out among local offerings, some patrons have noted fluctuations in quality over time. The atmosphere is vibrant, making it an ideal spot to enjoy delicious pizzas paired with a great selection of beers, including their popular Odie Lager.
Odie's Pizza Co is Oceanside's newest pizza spot and it's a real gem for the community. This small-owned pizza shop is located near the heart of downtown Oceanside, just 2 blocks away from the ocean. Odie's Pizza Co. offers a new twist to the pizza scene and delivers delicious sourdough crust and sporting over 20 adult beverages on tap. They also carry a few delicious hard seltzers. Their house-made ranch and dill goes perfectly with their sourdough crust, which has known to be easier on our digestive system than typical flour dough. This place is very popular and one of the downsides is that there can often be a line coming out the door. But they do have lunch specials with great pricing and their service is spectacular. One advantage is that they also serve pizza by the slice, which is perfect to pick up and go take a walk to the pier nearby. They also serve delicious chicken wings with a very addictive sauce. There is even a vegan dough option for their pizza and vegan chicken wings. Another downside, which is not of their fault, is that parking in the downtown area is extremely limited. Overall, Odie's pizza is still a great addition to the downtown Oceanside food scene and I highly recommend them!

Review of the vegan options, grandma style. Definitely better than most vegan options of pizza in North County but not what I'd consider AMAZING. Grandma style crust isn't something you see often so it's fun to give it a try. Enjoyed that it's sourdough, too. Be prepared to wait, or just call in an order. When we ordered the line wasn't terrible but we waited at least 30 minutes and during that time the line grew out the door and stayed steady on a Wednesday evening.

Man, I was hoping for so much more. I watched them building this place with high anticipation. I ordered two slices, two different kinds. Both crusts were soft, gummy texture with little to no crunch. I hate leaving a review like this because I’m sure they put a lot of money into this build. The place was crowded and to their defense they seemed a little overwhelmed, but I have to call a spade a spade. So much room needed for improvement. Maybe it was an off day because they have signs on the door that read no slices sold after 3PM, only whole pizzas. Best of luck.

Ordered the Good Good Things pizza for takeout. Was expecting much crispier and well done as compared to what I got. Ordered online and it was ready in just 12 minutes- maybe part of the issue…? While the dough was good, it seemed the crust covered 25%+ of the pie. May give it another try, but round one definitely fell short of expectations.

When it opened, Odie’s was our *favorite* pizza in north county. The grandma style was like nothing else - super fluffy, crispy cheesy edges, just perfect. I don’t know what changed, but the grandma style hasn’t been the same the last two times we’ve been and is really disappointing. The crust is now super thin and crunchy like a cracker. Would be 5 stars if the grandma style came back to what it used to be

Ohana Cupcakes in a Jar is a boutique bakery located in North County San Diego, specializing in custom wedding and grooms cakes, gourmet cookies, cupcakes, and dessert bars. The cupcakes are priced at around $3.50 each and come in various flavors like chocolate, red velvet, mango pineapple, and apple pie. Customers can also create their own cupcakes by choosing from a menu of options for the cake base and fillings.
In the Cupcake world this is a hip way to get your sweet tooth catered to. They start you off with a little a la cart menu to select your choice... and then you build away starting with stuffing your filling into throw center. I went with a Red Velvet Cupcake stuffed with Peanut butter, Cream cheese frosting and cookie crumbles 😍. I must say that with them making their cakes daily you taste more of the ingredients than an over power of a sugary cake. All I know is that they earned their place at the Oscars ❤️ Thinking of having an adult party here!!!

The cupcakes are good and flavourful, not overly sweet, although pricey. It's about $4 per cupcake, and almost double that to "create" your own. The location itself is clean and colorful.

The cupcakes here were not bad. I must say that I enjoyed the cake part very much, very moist and well baked. For some reason I wasn’t that thrilled with the frosting on these cupcakes which is odd, huh? They are about 3.50 a piece which is kinda the going rate these days for a really good cupcake. I ordered a half dozen and got one free. So far I tried the chocolate, red velvet, and mango pineapple, again the cake portion was very yummy. I tried the apple pie cupcake and enjoyed it all! I think the cupcakes are kept very very cold and that was why I didn’t care for frosting when I first bought them.

Over priced for the quality. Average to good quality cupcakes but nothing special. The do it yourself designer cupcake is a great concept but the cupcakes are small in size and you pay over $7 per cupcake. Why? Not at all worth it for the small size. The premade cupcakes are fine but the cost is still questionable. Staff was been slow and not attentive the two times I've gone. Won't be going back when I can go down to Barnes and Noble's cafe and get Cheesecake Factory products for the same price.

Solid management and the guy in HR is just awesome. My experience wit the ob meh and less than desirable for long-term. I was basically a overpaid dishwasher and gosh did I HATE it. I was thinking "Sanitation" was more like cleaning/breaking down the machines, taking out the trash and cleaning the walls/floors but instead it was washing dishes three sinks style with suspect machine. Two hours in I was soaked (no waterproof apron) and wasn't interested in doing this for months. Me personally I was bored. The supervisor let it slip that individual before me did it for 6 months. If you're interested in washing dishes and getting wet why not? Best of luck. Plus size you get to try the baked goodies, listen to YOUR music while working and management is solid.

Mariposa Ice Cream Oceanside is a delightful find for anyone craving a sweet treat.

With an impressive array of flavors to choose from, it can be tough to pick just one!

Over the weekend, my family and I enjoyed a delightful staycation in Oceanside, highlighted by a visit to the OCEANSIDE SUNSET MARKET on Thursday. During our visit, we were introduced to Ben, the owner of Mariposa Ice Cream. All I can say is, wow! The Mango Sorbet was absolutely amazing, and the customer service was truly exceptional. If you ever find yourself at the Sunset Market on a Thursday, make sure to seek them out. And if you're near the pier, a stop by their shop is definitely worth it. Thank you, Ben, for providing such an amazing experience!

Tortilleria Bakery is a delightful haven for anyone who appreciates the warm, inviting scent of freshly baked goods. As soon as you step inside, you're greeted by an impressive array of treats that celebrate traditional Mexican flavors. From sweet pastries to savory empanadas, there's something for everyone. I couldn't resist trying their renowned churros, and they truly lived up to the hype! Additionally, the bakery offers mouthwatering options like carnitas and beans that are sure to satisfy any craving.
(Translated by Google) Excellent carnitas, head and beans!! (Original) Excellent carnitas, cabeza and frijoles!!

Lots of choices, loved the salsa verde and chicken. The market has a good selection of groceries. Meat counter is great and prices are reasonable. Even found flour tortillas with no sugar added.

Fast food restaurant
Ice cream shop
Dairy Queen Grill & Chill is a popular fast-food chain known for its soft-serve ice cream and signature shakes. Their menu features classic burger and fries options. The desserts, including blizzards and slushes, are highly recommended. However, the restaurant tends to be busy and crowded due to its popularity as a gold mine. Despite this, the service is above average. The night crowd can lead to some congestion and noise.
I’ve never really felt compelled to write a review for anything before until now. The atmosphere was lovely and Josh is one of the most friendly and personable individuals you’ll meet. Definitely would recommend.

Great Dairy Queen Experience in Oceanside! It's getting harder to find a Dairy Queen these days, so when a craving for a Blizzard hits, it's worth seeking one out! We recently visited the Dairy Queen location in Oceanside and were very happy with our experience. The first thing we noticed was that the building, especially the interior, looked brand new and was impeccably clean. Despite a couple of customers ahead of us in line, the service was surprisingly quick, and we didn't have to wait long at all to place our orders. We both got exactly what we were craving for our dessert fix. I went with my go-to Blizzard, a delicious mix of Snickers and Butterfinger, while my son opted for the timeless classic – a chocolate dipped cone. In true Dairy Queen fashion, when my Blizzard was ready, the employee brought it over and performed the iconic upside-down Blizzard test, holding it there with a smile before handing it to me. It's always a fun little tradition that assures you of its thickness! All in all, we had a great experience at this Oceanside Dairy Queen. The location was clean, the service was fast and friendly, and our desserts were perfect. I'm already looking forward to our next visit!

Michele deserves a Gold Star. So kind thoughtful. She helped us get our first cake, and somehow overheard my wife saying it was my birthday. Out of nowhere, popped out with a mini sample of the pumpkin ice cream. Made my Day !

I've only had dessert here, and it never disappoints. You can't go wrong with the blizzards, and the slushes are very nice. The place is a gold mine though, and it gets popular and crowded very easily. That being said, the service is above average. With the big crowd coming here at night, it does get a little crowded. That being said it can get very loud. 5 stars from me though! Keep doing what you are doing, DQ
Jack B — Google review
No one was in the store, placed an order for 2 blizzards and left a $2.00 tip. In came 2 people, then a group of 5, who had no idea what they wanted, so clerk just stood there waiting for them to decide which took a long time and then 8 more people came in. 25 minutes later we were still waiting. I asked her how much longer and she said maybe 30 more minutes because she has to take all orders first before she can make our 2 blizzards. I asked for a refund and left. I should have taken my tip back.

I have visited Red Cup Yogurt numerous times over the past few years. The proprietor, who frequently operates the cash register, is amiable and generous, ensuring that the establishment remains tidy and well-stocked. The frozen yogurt is of exceptional quality. Although the space is somewhat small and can feel crowded, it is otherwise impeccably clean, with friendly service provided. The variety of toppings available at this delightful venue leaves nothing to be desired.
Great yogurt with tons of options and the topping were chef’s kiss. Reasonably priced by weight but were they really shine is who I suspect is the owner. Nice guy and my daughter left her phone right at closing. He kept it safe and picked it up at 3 when he opened!! TY!

Excellent shop because you make your own yogurt. You pick the toppings and add as much as you choose. Many different extras to choose from. (about 50) I go everyday and like it far more than ice cream. You won't be disappointed.

RED CUP YOGURT WAS pretty good and not too bad. The guy up front was very nice and explained how it works since we'd never been there. You just grab a cup, filler er UP and the price is based on weight. Load that sucker down. Fantastic selection of topings and finishing touches. Pretty decent price, Fantastic way to end a date. Ok Bye

Yummy self serve frozen yogurt in different flavors to choose from, then you slide over to the toppings bar which has has ton of available options and finally to the choice of "sauces" to put on top (chocolate, caramel, marshmallow, etc) 😋Everything we had tasted great. Planning on going back again!

Yogurt was fine. Toppings were fresh. Cost per ounce is about 67 cents. Which is a bit high, but inflation. Item was weighed in pounds, not ounces, and the cashier calculated the price in his head.. no cash register involved. Felt a little off, but oh well.

We’ve been here several times in the past few years. The owner, who often works the register, is friendly and kind and keeps the place clean and well stocked. The frozen yogurt is quite good. It’s a small place so space is a bit cramped but otherwise it’s clean and the service is friendly.
Sherry M — Google review
I agree with Bernece , went in there and when I ordered my yogurt i took a bite of the candy topping that tasted very old, after i finished the yogurt because I thought nothing of it i ended up getting food poisoning - this was over a year ago and now i dont touch any frozen yogurt. Message to owner , clean your machines, only use fresh ingredients and if your toppings are old throw them away dont leave them out there for the next person to eat. For the price you charge per ounce your fellow community deserve good quality deserts and if you have a bad attitude please hire people that want to make us come back - being in the retail industry for many years a smile goes a long way.

I can't thank Hacobo enough for the incredible bear-themed cake he baked for my son’s first birthday. His patience, and attention to detail during the order process were truly commendable. The final result surpassed all expectations – a masterpiece that not only looked adorable but also tasted absolutely delicious. Thank you, Hacobo, for your exceptional talent. You made our event unforgettable!

These two middle ones were supposed to be oatmeal skillet cookies. They were supposed to have the vanilla buttercream and caramel drizzle. On my order, I had two churro cookies as well, but after paying, I was informed they didn't have any more. So I had to choose others. So their menu wasn't accurate, the oatmeal skillet cookies were nothing like what is advertised online, on their menu, and in their example cookies. I'm so disappointed. This is the worst experience. I would not recommend this place to anyone. Update 12/9/2024: Management reached out and refunded the order. They wanted to ensure our experience was right and that we had another chance to try them. I greatly appreciate any company that tries to improve and fix the situation. I wasn't expecting a refund, but I respect their willingness to make it better. As such, I've given them another try today so we shall see how this new order turns out! Second update: The eggnog Tres leches is nowhere near as moist as last year. The hallmark of a Tres leches cake is that it's an egg-based cake the absorbs quite a bit of liquid, and has some leftover. The one I received today was just as moist as every cake option Crumbl has had, but no more and not like a Tres leches cake at all. Once you get that out of your head, it's a decent cake. We've also got a raspberry butter cake cookie, and a cinnamon crunch cookie, as well as a second Tres leches. Hopefully the other two live up to their hype. Still, the eggnog cake is a solid choice.

As I read the reviews I can see that there is a general trend of everyone saying the store is dirty. I can whole heartly agree with this assessment. The pictures might not be able to show the detail of how bad it is, but if you see that they appreciate the feed back and will address it. It's pretty apparent that they still haven't addressed it because I've seen the same corner in the floor that has been disgusting for over a year. Anyone can understand that today's work force doesn't want to work. At the same time if your charging $5 a cookie you would expect that type of price point one would walk into a clean store. The Hobart mixers are like 10k to 20k a machine, I just don't understand how you would leave dirty batches of mix in there like that and not clean it immediately. Clearly no one cares in this place. I walked in, was not greeted, took the pictures and just left.

Crumbl Cookies has made its way to Oceanside California. Located in the Mission Marketplace on Oceanside Blvd., this franchise has spread all over the country, pleasing many cookie lovers in their wake. While I’m not exactly a “sweets” lover entirely, I can definitely appreciate a good cookie. This was also my first time experiencing this brand of cookies. This new location is starting off showcasing 6 flavors, of which I tried their Birthday Cake, Cinnamon French Toast, Chocolate Chip, Chocolate Peanut-Butter and Neapolitan. What I loved the most about their cookies is that they were all thick & soft and almost “doughy”. They weren’t super-moist and would often “crumble” upon biting into them; hence their name? My favorites were the chocolate-chip (reliably safe), Cinnamon French Toast (childhood favorite) and the Chocolate Peanut-Butter (was mostly peanut-butter forward). The service was good, fast and friendly. They also allow for Pre-Ordering with Priority Parking in front. I highly recommend downloading their app in advance to order and also you’ll get a FREE COOKIE upon showing on your phone. One thing that disappointed me is that they don’t have any vegan or gluten-free options available and I’m unsure if they ever will. Overall, this place is made for those who like sweets and don’t mind paying for them. At nearly $4 a cookie, it’s not a place for your “typical trips” and I would only come here to indulge when I want something special. But I recommend trying them at least once just to experience them. EATINGOCEANSIDE

I am so happy that this store opened near me. This is by far my ultimate favorite cookie place. Every single week its always a brand new menu plus I also love the fact that they have mystery cookie every week as well. Almost everything is my favorite. Peanut Butter Brownie, Banana Cake, White Chocolate Macadamia, Cookies and Cream, and more. The staff here are absolutely delightful and very friendly. It is a bit extreme but if not once, I do come twice a week 😅 I always get the Six Pack and I highly recommend to download the Crumble App for points.
