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! [[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] One of the best and most affordable cafes in Oceanside - it is worth the stop!

[[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The coffee is good, I suggest getting a banana flavored coffee, it's unique and different but delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe is cozy and peaceful.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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)

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?!

[[HIGHLIGHT]]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.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 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

I'm new to the area and was looking for a great coffee spot. After seeing the strong ratings, I decided to stop in--and I'm so glad I did. Everything exceeded my expectations. The food was absolutely amazing, the coffee was rich and perfectly made, and the customer service was truly top-notch. The staff made me feel welcome right away, which made the whole experience even better. [[HIGHLIGHT]]What really stood out was how kind they were to my puppy--they made him feel so seen and loved, and even offered him water without me asking.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] That level of care and attention truly sets this place apart. I can already tell this will be one of my go-to spots. Definitely a new loyal customer here! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Walking into The Brown Cup is like wrapping yourself in fresh warm blanket.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The Coffee, Lattes and Smoothies are spectacularly well executed, the food menu is homemade and tastes like it came right off Grandma's hands. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The lounge is inviting with various eclectic seating areas inviting you to sink and settle in, encouraging you to slow down and focus on the present moment.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] In addition, owner Brandon Vincent is bringing his exceptional talent and extensive expertise as a sushi chef to the table with selections of fresh sushi added to the menu. If you find yourself on PCH in Oceanside, I highly recommend you stop in, The Brown Cup is waiting to impress you. read more

The menu is small, but every item packs amazing flavor. Favorites of mine include the Spam Masubi with avocado, Avocado Toast topped with feta and fresh basil, Green Smoothie, Turkey Cheese Avocado, Southwest Sandwich, and Dirty Chai Latte. They also let you customize your sandwiches and drinks. Today I tried the Everything Bagel with garlic cream cheese--so satisfying!

Great study spot! This cafe is the perfect place to get some weekend studying done-- plenty of comfy seating, lots of outlets by the walls, and ambient but quiet noise. I got here around 11am and it was very quiet, but by 1, there were a lot more people chattering and lounging here.

I got called "hey emo!" which is a very very demeaning. I have not ever heard anyone call someone that name since high school in a long time since before early 2010s I don't care what anyone else thinks of me, I was not bothered at all. But just in case, i was so nervous but I had very little bit of strength to tell the store manager what happened and had the audacity to shrug it off, " if there's anything else I can do for you." Well, you know what then, since I was harassed and degraded, I will never come back here again. Calling someone "emo" is really degrading, it's derogatory, it's hurtful. it's the same thing to call someone a f@g, it's not OK to call anyone that. Jason was never helpful nor apologetic towards me! I never let any name-calling get to me, but I don't deserve to get hurled out while I was simply sitting outside at the tables alone just having my coffee. Jason can go fuck himself! Fuck you jason! Asshole!!!!!

I would come back and try some of the food just to be able to enjoy the space but likely won't get coffee again

Communal Coffee

I love Communal, especially the one in Oceanside, but no matter which location I order from, the…read morecoffee is always exceptional. 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!

Overall, it's a little pricey as I paid around $17 for bagel and chai but both tasted worth it and I'll for sure be back to order the same thing again!

The…read moredrive made me sleepy, so on my way back, since now the traffic was heavier, I looked for some place to grab a coffee. Revolution came up and was close. 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.

Coffee 10/10 We ordered their vanilla latte with marshmallow cold foam and their coconut latte with toasted coconut cold foam. Both were incredible! The vanilla latte was not too sweet so the cold foam wasn't overkill at all. Both cold foams are more on the runny side and not too thick. The coconut latte was sooo tasteful. The coconut flavor definitely comes through. This was our first time trying a coconut latte and we were not disappointed. Food 9/10 We didn't order much food or pastries since we had breakfast prior but the pastries did look so good! We did get a salted shortbread to try and it was pretty solid. Vibes/Ambiance : 7/10 We came on a Tuesday morning and it was busy. The space is very spacious and there's plenty of seating area. There were people working there and hanging out. It's an open space so that was nice. The decor is minimal but cute. The staff is okay...I don't know if I'd describe as friendly, but they weren't rude. Not sure if it was the city as a whole but we didn't really feel welcomed or came across too many friendly people. It was the same here. Didn't interact much with us...just took our order and kept it pushing. lol not necessarily a bad thing but it was something we experienced a lot. Overall, the coffee was amazing here.

If I had to guess, it probably came with a 1/4 cup of beef on the entire nacho plate. It was quite pathetic. $17 with a coke. AVOID!!!

The best thing about this place is that every Sunday there's a music open mic featuring local singers and artists from 6-9. The host, local legend Raynaldo Martine, will play along with artists or let them go solo. The list is always fair, and the hosts respect the amount of time artists spend in the venue.

Came for the Oceanside parade and ended up here. It turned out to be one of the highlights of my trip to Oceanside. The atmosphere is incredibly cozy, quiet, and welcoming--perfect whether you want to work, read, or just relax with a great coffee. Its not "just another cafe" I tried their Musubi and Onigiri, along with the edamame and seaweed salad, and everything was delicious. The musubi was made fresh to order, and easily some of the best I've had. You can really tell they care about the quality of their food. The staff were super friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in. It's the kind of local café and lounge that makes you want to come back again and again. If you're in Oceanside and looking for excellent coffee, tasty food, and a comfortable place to spend some time, Brown Cup is absolutely worth a visit. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in town. Shoutout to the owner. She's running this place with the energy of three people ( I think she drinks lots of coffee instead of water ) and has a great sense of humor. read more

This is my second time coming to Brown Cup Cafe, the location is perfect and parking is available directly behind the Cafe. In both of my visits, the staff is very polite. My food was brought out to me, and the beverages and food that I ordered tasted great. Prior to this I had another Cafe that I frequently visited, however this by far tops that. In addition to everything else, the place looks very elegant, and it is very quiet for those who want to use it as a discreet place of study or to simply relax. I will be coming here more routinely. read more

Made a quick pit stop and decided to check out Brown Cup Cafe for some coffee. The place itself is cozy, with a nice vibe, but the service really wasn't up to par. I ordered a latte, which was decent, but if you're in a rush or don't have 30 minutes to spare for a single drink, this might not be the best choice. The staff was friendly, but wow, were they slow! They definitely need to figure out a better process. Overall, the items they sell do look good, but just be prepared to wait. read more
