Beautiful spot to eat and chill and look out into the ocean or people watch. There are several outdoor tables and benches and some tiny tables and chairs for the kids. Theres a lovely patch of grass to lay down on amor play with your dog. Totally chill vibe. Love this place. We got two sandwiches, an açaí bowl and two drinks. I don’t remember how much we spent but it was well worth it.

Such an awesome little place. If you are hungry on the beach or want a refreshing smoothie or coffee. Look no further. Goran and his wife are the loveliest people and we come here all the time. Everything is delicious

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

Had a Bee Green smoothie, the Pacific Coast Thanksgiving, and the Coastal Pesto. Smoothie and sandwiches were fantastic. The couple running the cafe were super friendly. They do offer a military discount. The seating had shaded and non shaded options. You get a great view of the beach and beach park.

This little cafe is situated perfectly near a parking lot and a great beach! We came here two days in a row and they remembered our order from the day before. We were one of many customers on a busy day so their thoughtfulness stood out! We got the red alert smoothie, the coastal pesto sandwich, the pacific coast thanksgiving sandwich and the kids chicken tenders. Our family loved our food. Highly recommend this spot!

Came in on a Thursday morning during the spring break. It was incredibly nice and sunny. I got some tea and a breakfast sandwich and my partner got the tuna melt. Service was quick and the food was good for being one of the only places where you can look at the beach. It's also near a park! 6/5 on atmosphere! See the picture.

I came by Oside Strand Café for brunch with my wife and it did not disappoint. We ordered a coconut bowl, a sandwich, and a mango lemonade—everything was fresh and really well put together. You can tell they care about quality. The service was just as good as the food—friendly, welcoming, and on point the whole time. It’s always a plus when the people match the vibe of the place. Definitely a spot I’d recommend to anyone in Oceanside. Solid local spot and 100% worth checking out.

Whenever we visit the beach in Oceanside, we always make a stop at the O’side Strand Cafe! The food is so good and always made fresh. We love their açaí bowls!! Some of the best. Highly recommend! Their breakfast and lunch sandwiches are also delicious. And the cafe is conveniently located to the beach; very quick walk. Service is phenomenal. Everyone is kind and so quick. If you are looking for a delicious snack near the beach, would definitely recommend checking out the O’side Strand Cafe!!

Best spot for breakfast and coffee in the morning! Came here with my family. Ordered Wake & Surf sandwich added Turkey Bacon, kids meal pancakes, Acai Bowl, and a mango lemonade. Everything was made to order, so expect a little weight. It’s really worth it! Food was fresh and so was the food. Friendly service! Looking forward to coming back here to try other food on the menu!
