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.

Hands down best coffee cake I have had in my life! Tore into it so fast I didn’t even have time to snap a picture before it was gone! It’s sweet almost like a cinnamon roll, but moist all the way through, and the serving size is VERY generous. 10/10, would eat again

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.

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.

Delicious, large portions. Loved the atmosphere, and service was friendly and quick! We got there right after it opened and it wasn't too busy, but was getting full when we left. It will stay on my list of favorite places for the next time we visit the area.

Great cafe in Oceanside! We stopped here to get some breakfast and they were very nice to our dog! We sat outside and made sure to get some of their delicious coffee cake! Portions were pretty large

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.
