    Grabbing a coffee
    Stephanie M.

    My fur baby and I stopped in on our morning walk for a coffee. The prices are reasonable, coffee is good and the staff is super friendly. This is located right across the street from the beach so you can grab some food and something to drink and be at the beach in two minutes or less. I haven't tried any of the food yet but it does look really good I highly recommend stopping on in if you're in Oceanside and coming to the beach

    CA burrito with fries on the side

    Great service though the line was long and steady. Being that they are super close to the beach and rv park they get a lot of business so I wanted to try it due to the line and menu. Ordered the California Burrito and was underwhelmed. The steak was the type that TacoBell, definitely not "carne" as listed. The fries (ordered on the side bc I'm a fry purist) were great with their spices and ketchup. Not too sure what way the salsa provided was going tho. It was giving Franks and Ketchup and Pace. If you're starving this'll do. If you want something good or Mexican style burritos I'd look elsewhere. Also, had a bit of my husbands kitchen sink burrito with soyrizo (seasoned tofu) and it was ok too. The coffee selections were perfect tho.

    I really wanted to like The Buccaneer because of all the hype, but honestly... it fell flat for me. I ordered the soyrizo Buc Muf and the soyrizo burrito, and both really lacked seasoning. The flavors just weren't there, and everything tasted pretty plain. The line was also so long, which made the wait feel even worse considering the food didn't deliver. In my opinion, it's definitely overhyped. The staff was nice, but you could tell they were stressed trying to manage the constant line. It is a very tiny place. It's all outdoor, you order and pick up through a window. Overall, not the worst experience, but definitely not worth the wait.

    The food was simple and delicious. You can share a burrito if you not a big eater. The taco I had was tasty except the fries were cold. Oh the ice coffee was strong which is a good thing. They have a few tables and bar stools which great. The front view to location is the ocean water. We took our food and walked across to beach.

    One of my best friends took us here for breakfast. Unfortunately we showed up at 10:30 and the line was long. It wasn't so bad as the beautiful beach views and friendly people in line made the long wait bearable. BC does have some outdoor table seating but the beach is like 25ft across the street. Plenty of so cal beach vibes to enjoy these deliciius tacos. And delicious they were!!! If I had to pick one the Carne Asada was my slight favorite. The seasoning was just so good. The portions are large so you don't go away hungry. The other menu items are just as amazing from what I hear as well. If you want a yummy breakfast taco with some kicking beach views BC is your jam.

    Looking for something close to the Body Shop I was at, and thankfully, this place wasn't too far away. As soon as I arrived, there was a line for this place. Must be good for it to have a line. The wait time was around 15 minutes (more or less), but it was worth the wait. I looked at the menu; they added fries to the breakfast burrito! Excuse me! I HAD to order one, and boy, it did not disappoint! The eggs were fluffy, they had guac, and there were all types of meat choices. Most importantly, the fries were super crispy under all of that in the burrito! I ended up halfing the burrito because I thought it would be too much, but it was the complete opposite. I'll order a whole burrito next time I'm in the area! Excellent burrito!

    Nice to have a little spot to grab a drink and maybe a bite to eat. Average service. Waiting to give an order (all 3 times I visited this trip), the gal carries on conversations with her colleagues while I am standing there with no acknowledgment or mention of "hi there, will be right with you"... not a complaint, just mentioning. Was excited to try the Clam Chowder and it was a heavy let down . Too thin and must of had a ton of butter. When they ask you if you want the Garlic Bread with the soup, just decline. It was just 2 slices of white bread, with a little bit of butter and garlic, barely toasted LOL . No big deal. I also had the Kitchen Sink burrito this trip. Was ok. My wife had the Ham and Egg burrito. She was happy. Coffee was ok. I ordered an extra shot and I am not sure if it was in there. Wanted a Carmel Machiato but they said they could do a Mocha with Caramel . No big deal. Coffee was average. 3 's for being average, yet convenient. The prices are steep, but I imagine it isn't cheap to have that prime location. This place could be so amazing with a little work!!

    This is my all time favorite açai bowl place. It's a right across from the beach in Oceanside at Buccaneer park. Excellent service and food comes out fairly fast. It's usually pretty crowded when I go here, but it wasn't bad on the day we went. I always order the privateer which includes two scoops of açai, granola, blueberries, bananas, strawberries, coconut, and honey. I also got peanut butter on it. I split a carne asada breakfast burrito with my daughter. So good! It had scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese, sour cream, guacamole, and fries, and of course the Carne Asada. It was a beautiful day outside. There's no inside seating. You can't go wrong at this place. I've tried different things and everything has been very good. Since I don't live in the San Diego area anymore, I like to come here when I visit. What more can you ask for? It's right across from the beach

    We heard about this place but had never been, until today. The fact that we have never been here makes me confuzzeled! I had the bacon burrito and my wife also had the bacon burrito but has a gluten allergy so had the burrito bowl option. The food is so good and there is so much of it. I swear there was a quarter pound of bacon in my burrito. I can't overstate how good the food was. The staff was so friendly and patiently answered all of my wife's questions regarding her allergy. And if it couldn't get any better, they are situated right across the street from the beach so you can order, walk across the street and plant yourself on the beach and enjoy your food!

    A local favorite! It's definitely changed over the years but it seems like they keep having more and more options. I love stopping here for a quick latte, but it doesn't usually end up being quick as they are quite busy. Be ready to wait a bit but it is worth it! There is a decent amount of outdoor seating and it's usually easy to find parking in the park's lot too. I enjoy ordering the Mexi mocha as the Mexican chocolate gives the espresso a deeper flavor with only a bit of sweetness. My husband typically orders the white mocha and honestly it's just as good! A little bit sweeter but nonetheless still delicious.

    Coffee!

    Came on a Friday at 7 AM as a party of 10+. We basically all lined up and ordered separately. The service was super fast. This place totally feels like a local's only spot. It made me feel like I was on vacation. We even saw dolphins! Their menu was pretty extensive, I ordered the vegan burrito. It turned out to be absolutely massive, mostly rice, but still delicious. Their ingredients are fresh, which is amazing. The cafe is literally just a shack on the side of the road next to the beach. I would definitely recommend coming here. I will be back to order an açai bowl! Apparently they're the best in the city.

    Outdoor seating, street in front of us was not that bad ocean breeze was a plus. Ordered meximocha- could definitely taste Mexican chocolate mix.. not mixed well.. had to mask foe whipped that it was supposed to come with.. it was OK. Avocado toast was awesome, the way it was displayed was too cute. Taste was wonderful Locomoco was nostalgic for me.. missed living in Hawaii for moment.. gravy was a bit on the salty side tho. Everything else was cooked just right Strawberry Lemonade was sweet, so good overall. Water jug was empty and didnt see it refilled the whole time we was there.. a cup of cool water was needed. Had to ask for a cup. Nice Lil spot.. so its a 4

Service 5/5 -The service is great, they pay attention to detail and give good recommendations Food 5/5 -It's a good tasting bowl with quality ingredients! Very tasty Overall this place is where you want to take someone wanting an açaí bowl! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

    5 STARS - BEST AÇAÍ BOWL ON THE PLANET…read more Blue Bowl Superfoods is hands down the BEST açaí bowl I have ever had in my life. And I do not say that lightly. This bowl was next level -- the prettiest one I've ever seen and somehow even better tasting than it looked. First of all -- it's ALL VEGAN. Everything. No weird additives, no junk, just high-quality superfoods layered perfectly. You can literally taste the freshness and care in every bite. The açaí was thick and smooth, the chia layer was perfect, the strawberries were insanely fresh, the granola had the best crunch, and the drizzle on top? Unreal. And the girl working there? AMAZING. So kind, so welcoming, and she made the bowl with actual love and precision. You can tell she takes pride in what she does. She made the BEST açaí bowl in the world. Period. What I love most is that it's super high-class superfoods clean ingredients, powerful nutrition but the price is still totally reasonable. You're getting premium quality without feeling ripped off. If you care about your health, if you love plant-based food, if you want something beautiful AND delicious GO HERE. Immediately. Best açaí bowl I've ever had. Prettiest bowl I've ever seen. All vegan. Elite ingredients. 10/10 experience.
