I love açaí bowls and am always trying them at different places. This one didn't disappoint. We were on our way to the beach so what better way to enjoy a tasty açaí bowl especially when it's so close to the beach. It was so fresh and good! There are some places that I don't care for the açaí. But this place was excellent! I will be back when I'm in town.

It was pretty busy when I came by here, probably a lot of people coming for the parade. The latte was pretty alright. I didn't get as heavy of a banana or brulee flavor with my latte, though. There is paid parking in a garage nearby. It isn't too pricey. I did visit here during a parade so most of the streets were blocked off, and there was no paring available.

The first time I went I wanted the seasonal banana bread drink (I think that was the name) but they had ran out and were sweet enough to give me a discount card for another visit. I got the banana latte and it was a bit too sweet and chunky at the bottom with the banana for my liking. The second time I went, we got the 4x20 special. My husband doesn't take milk well & we saw the poster of the cafe de olla drink and it was black. Therefore he chose that one. We got our drinks and there was no black drink so I asked them which was the cafe de olla, and they proceeded to point to one of the drinks and I asked if it had milk, they said yes it did. So I said we ordered it based on the picture showing it black, they said it was fine and they would remake it. When my husband tried the drink it was sickly sweet. Like they replaced the milk portion with all syrup. We all tried it and agreed but at that point we had left. Anyways I feel that if the recipe calls for milk they should show it in the poster, so they don't have to fill the drink with syrup to offset the volume change without the milk. Idk if this was a normal thing or maybe just my order. But I'm always willing to give small businesses some support and try new things. They have great deals and they seem to really try to foster community and I love that so I will be back to try other drinks :) oh and a bonus is they're a small coffee business open later than others. Picture with the book is from first visit on July 28, pic with the 4 drinks is from August 1st.

Communal Coffee is one of my favorite breakfast spots in Oceanside, and one of the biggest reasons…read moreis how easy they make takeout. When I'm craving a delicious breakfast made with high-quality, organic, whole-food ingredients, I can order online, swing by, and pick it up without dealing with the rush. It's the perfect option for busy mornings. That said, dining in is worth it too. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and just a great place to slow down and enjoy your meal. They also have a charming little gift shop with flowers and thoughtfully curated items that make the space feel even more special. With both indoor and outdoor seating, plus a dog-friendly patio, it's an easy place to meet friends or enjoy a quiet morning. Parking can be a little hit or miss, but in my experience, it usually hits. Whether you're grabbing breakfast to go or staying to soak up the vibes, Communal Coffee is always a solid choice. Fresh ingredients, beautiful space, and consistently great food make it an easy five stars.

It's a great spot to meet up with friends or bring my mom when she arrives at the Oside train station from Grover Beach. It's a wonderful place to grab a flavored latte, seasonal drink, a glass of wine and a lunch bite, or all of the above! I also look forward to wandering through their gift area every time, where they stock unique jewelry, candles, fragrance rollerballs and 'clean' nail polish, plants and pots, kids' merchandise, t-shirts, and other cute stuff. I always buy something extra (and special) when I come. Their coffee bar is open, as is the general space, and there is plenty of seating outside in front and in back. You can watch the baristas make your drink and peep the beautiful Italian espresso machine and lovely bouquet of dried flowers by the bar while doing so. They bring their food out to you and when your espresso drink is ready they set it on the bar for you to pick up. Definitely a place to hang vs. grabbing a quick drink and rushing off about your day. I always want to stay and catch up with friends or bring my laptop to do some work, and they never make me feel rushed. Truly one of my favorite coffee shops in North County and in SD in general. (There is another high quality coffee shop in Oceanside that has incredible coffee and pastries--I won't mention the name--but I sometimes sense an attitude from the staff there, and that is a bit of a turnoff.) Go to Communal...you will not regret it!

The place is beautiful, but with so much space, you would've expected some cafe food. They only have pastries. I ordered a chocolate croissant and my husband ordered a tres leches muffin. They offered it to be heated which is great, but it is in a microwave instead of a convection oven. I wouldn't recommend the croissant to be warmed up unless you like it soft. The tres leches muffin was a lot better, but I wonder if it's better room temp/cold. The drinks were pretty good, and we were so glad we read the reviews before about the drinks being too sweet - they offer it to be made 50% sweet. I'd personally go for that every time because it was perfectly sweet at 50%. I ordered a flan latte and my husband ordered the rice & beans frappe (the beans is blended whole coffee beans!). My biggest qualm was the wait time and organizational process and layout. The registers are straight in as soon as you walk through the door, leaving the line to order in an odd shape of which direction to start making the line long (i.e. out the door or leave it to the customer to create the line). The menu cannot be seen until you get up to the register because they don't have it on the wall. It leaves you no time to study it, and it's a fairly large menu of coffee, latte, frappe, and blended agua frescas. The drink call out is on the complete opposite side of the seating area. A coffee shop ambiance can make it hard to hear your name when the drinks are ready which makes you feel like you need to stand nearby to grab your drinks. If it can be redone, it'd make sense to have the registers and the drink call out station swapped. The whole in and out took awhile. No one was helping the cashier take drink/food orders and the baristas working between the Cafe and drive-thru orders were doing their best, but wasn't a fine-tuned workflow. With that being said, I'd come back after trying other coffee shops with similar coffee drinks and may come back to try the chocolate tres leches muffin.

It's something I wished I craved more and Love Island makes seem like it's the best thing since sliced bread, I mean it does have bread. Anyways, this place is a must stop by and pick up something! They have a smaller menu but it's one of those menus with a lot of good things to choose from. I will be back for some more, it's also super cute in here! Thanks for the amazing tasting toast! I also love how the burn the edges of the toast, makes even yummier if that's a word haha The outdoor area seems to be a place where people like to bring their kids and chill by the water. There is a nice fountain area within the common area along with a lot of other places to eat. It could also be a great place for groups to meet up and have several different options to eat instead of only having one place to choose from.

I also ordered the Wildflower latte, which was pretty and came with a flower inside the drink. It tasted fine and was a fun touch. I ordered the Hot Honey Harvest Salad, and unfortunately it was just okay. The biggest disappointment was the turkey. It was packaged sandwich turkey slices instead of freshly prepared turkey, which made the salad taste flat. The hot honey also was not spicy at all, and I did not think the sweetness paired very well with the rest of the salad. It was more like a pile of lettuce than a nice salad you pay $14 for. You can probably buy pre-bagged salad and it'd be similar to what you're getting here. My friend ordered a sandwich that honestly looked much better than my meal, so I would probably try one of the sandwiches or wraps if I come back. The biggest downside was the price. My salad and latte came out to about $22, and there was also a 3.5% convenience fee. For the quality of the salad, it did not feel like a great value. I really wanted to love this place because the atmosphere is so charming, but I would order something different next time.

Don't even get me started on all the specialty coffees and teas that are amazing and come with art! Everyone loves tea or coffee in my family, my go to is the Blue planet because I love spuralina but I got the yummy Chaggaccino (see photo). My dad loved his espresso! My nephews have returned for the 3rd time and one has some dietary restrictions and was happy they both devoured the strawberry chocolate pancakes. I'm vegan and so happy this is a brunch place that has numerous options instead of 1-2 choices at most other establishments. Super happy with they use JustEgg to make an egg dish vegan friendly!
