    From the moment you walk in you're warmly greeted and feel right at home! There's so many wonderful things about this cafe and the hospitality from the staff is top tier. I enjoyed a 'build your own sandwich' and let me tell you this alone is worth coming in for - everything is made from scratch and just genuinely tastes amazing! I also ordered an iced latte which tasted delicious! The cafe itself is large with plenty of open seating - wether you come here to read, work, or just hangout with friends there's room for everyone. One of the best and most affordable cafes in Oceanside - it is worth the stop!

    A great space to do work! Many cafes now a days are solely for aesthetic, but this one you can actually get work done at. The coffee is good, I suggest getting a banana flavored coffee, it's unique and different but delicious. The vibe is cozy and peaceful. The service is good, the woman who helped me was soo sweet 10/10

    Found this cafe on Google and was very pleased with it! We ordered a brewed coffee, peach boba milk tea, and salted caramel mocha. All were delicious! Inside is a cozy atmosphere with framed pictures of nature and couches. The business is family owned and they were friendly. They sell honey as well and gave out free candies by the water :0)

    I've been coming here to do remote work since moving to Oceanside and i've always loved how cozy it is and the staff is very sweet. They just got a new chef and the onigiri they added to the menu is SO GOOD. Excited to try more of the new menu options

    You have to come here just to try this sandwhich! The Southwest Sandwhich! Through the years same taste, quality and size! As costs have gone up so have food sizes gone down. Avocado toasts have become Avocado smears but not here. The picture doesn't do it justice. Option of white, wheat, sourdough. Come try this, you won't be disappointed! Their coffee and service is on point too! Let's support this lil mom n pop coffee shop! Hi Roger and Roger's wife! Im sorry, soo bad with names?!

    My go to "meet up with a friend spot". As well as my favorite "treat myself spot". Cozy and comfy. They make the food with love and the drinks always hit the spot. The owners are the most sweet humans and anyone else I've had help me has been a joy and the quality of service is just as good. I recommend stopping in or ordering them as your next delivery order!

    This place was a one that I have passed by many times. Stopped in today for breakfast. Got a BLT on croissant and added avocado. Also got the ginger green smoothie. She warned me it was very ginger forward and it was but I enjoyed it. Looks very cozy inside. I recommend folks give this neighborhood spot a try.

    THE best breakfast croissant that ever was!!!!! I did a build your own. Croissant, bacon, egg, avocado, mayo. Perfection.

    Is this place good for groups? A book group?

To my shame, I've walked past Pier View so often, not even giving it a thought of consideration, as I judged the place by its exterior alone. It just didn't look vibey enough. That all changed on our most recent visit...After walking a couple miles to a completely different coffee shop, hubs and I found it closed. Bummer. The next closest place was Pier View. I hesitated. But I was desperate for a pick-me-up. We walked inside. "Oh wow, it's so spacious in here. And the girls working here look... cool...", I thought. We placed an order for a couple featured drinks and a lunch sandwich. Let me tell you. Everything was PHENOMENAL. It was SO GOOD we came back the following morning and brought the rest of our family to try our exciting find. Same amazing quality coffee, plus another amazing sandwich (a breakfast one this time). I literally cannot wait to go back to Oceanside because of this place.

It's been a rough week (hello, unexpected job loss), so I was in the mood for something unapologetically indulgent, and this absolutely delivered. The staff was incredibly warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in, which honestly made the experience even sweeter. I ordered the truffle cheesecake donut and my husband had the maple pecan... and I genuinely cannot remember the last time I tasted something this ridiculously delicious. Light, decadent, melt-in-your-mouth magic. Learn from our mistake: do not keep walking past this place. Stop immediately. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Just get the donut.

They have a massive selection to choose from, and I ended up trying the French Toast donut. It had that exact light, pillowy, croissant-like texture the other guest mentioned. I also loved that it wasn't overwhelmingly sweet like donuts from other shops can be. It was so light that I enjoyed it in the morning and still had plenty of room for breakfast afterward. ​My only regret is that I didn't have a bigger group with me--I wish I could have ordered a bunch of different flavors to share. I'll definitely be back for more!

Right off of Vista Way in Oceanside. Scored a spot right in front...must've been kismit! They have the regular coffees but also some signature drinks as well. But it looks like there's some seasonal coffees too. Friendly hello when it was my turn. Me: So what do you think, butterscotch or pistachio? He: I would say pistachio because sometimes the butterscotch is too sweet for some. Pistachio it was! So definitely inquire about the seasonal coffees because this was delicious! Great flavor and dark chocolate shavings on top. This helped keep me awake on my long drive home! Love that they're local! Also bought The Colores blend which they happily ground for me, and it is really good! Mellow flavor with a hint of dark chocolate finish. I now have a great spot to stop at if in the area and in need. They have great outdoor seating that's dog friendly, and a nice dining area.

The cold foam was also not thick, more of a watery base and didn't take that great.
