Love Strand Cafe! Great coffee and espresso. Nice little menu and good food. Great atmosphere with the music and park nearby. Not too pricey

Great little outdoor cafe by the beach! We love to stop here whenever we're visiting Oceanside!
Alex Regalado 7 months ago
Went to this place on a whim, and it ended up being the best part of my beach day. The food was exceptional, and the customer service was top notch. There are a ton of options; their pesto panini was a strong 10/10. The great food paired with the fact that you are literally a foot away from the beach sand made it a place I will visit every time I’m in O’Side!

Their Coastal Pesto was probably one of the best pesto sandwiches I’ve ever had! I also recommend the strawberry lemonade! Straight fire 🔥

Amazing place, very friendly staff, even he gave me two free pieces of cookie that I really enjoyed and appreciated. The ocean view and the overall vibe is also unbeatable. Loved it!

You can’t beat this place for the atmosphere. And the food is fantastic! It’s a small like stand tucked up next to the sea wall and if you blink you can miss it, but make sure you find it and order a sandwich!

This place is awesome. The Tuna Melt is to die for. And Bacon, Egg & Cheese w/ Avocado was 🔥.

This is one of the nicest spots to enjoy some seriously great food and refreshments in Orange county. Having met the owner of this cafe, I must say that they are very pleasant and kind. A true hidden gem, the sandwiches are absolutely incredible, as well as the flavored lemonades and sweet coconut bowls. A must visit destination in Oceanside! 10/10

I've been walking along the strand for over 15 years and never ventured to the other side of this park. I just wondered over there with my dog and found this hidden gem. The coffee was excellent, the view lovely, and no crowds. A great place to hang out with my little puppy.

This beach spot cafe is hands down the best I’ve ever been to. I came here to study and ended up accomplishing a lot of studying while enjoying the beautiful beach and delicious food. I even met the owners, who were incredibly friendly. There were so many loyal local customers who came to visit with their pets, which made me feel like I was part of their community. I’m not even from here; I just came to study and grab a bite by the beach. I’m so glad I checked this place out. I hope to visit again in the near future.
