    The coffee mojito is my new obsession. So good. Service was quick too. I'll be back really soon!

    A new place, and a great cup of coffee. I'll be back.

    When I first walked in to bump coffee, I noticed in a case behind the counter they were these items. I thought they were maybe danish or croissants and then I was told no what we sell is empanadas. Bacon, ham, sausage and I remember thinking, I have never thought of having an empanada for breakfast or lunch. So yesterday, my curiosity got the best of me and I went in after my walk and bought some. All the flavors that I wanted had been sold out and are sold out every day before 10 AM. OK, reboot. I talked to the lovely lovely women behind the counter and then I think the manager or the owner came up to me and said we can sell them to you frozen and you can heat them up at home. So we did for appetizers last night. OMG! They were without a doubt the best new appetizer we have ever had, we could only eat between us three maybe two, but they were so full of flavor and cheese and a little egg and the meats. It's in a little mall next to VG so easy to find a lot of parking on the street and their lot, the service is nothing but smiles and how can I help? This is a rad place and by the way, the coffee is outstanding.

    Good drip coffee and a cool atmosphere. The empanadas were delicious and a must try for breakfast. The service was on point and friendly. There's no seating inside, but you can stand outside and drink your coffee.

    Cute, little open air coffee shop for grab 'n go coffee and empanadas. They are only open until 2pm so make sure to visit in the mornings. I visited just after lunch and 2 empanada flavors were left: bacon, egg, and cheese and ham & cheese. The staff member at the register said her favorite was ham & cheese and she was right! It was pretty good. The bacon, egg, and cheese flavor was just ok. There is a little bar top (standing only) to enjoy your coffee and treats. It looks out to the parking lot an in the direction of the ocean so you get the nice ocean air.

    Update--it was so good I came back the very next day. 10/10 experience again, but I'll add, you MUST try their empanadas. Wow! Great team here, very friendly and eager to provide great service.

    Basic and simple coffee shop, more of "grab n go" type of place. No seating at all. There is a small counter top table where you can stay and linger for a bit while sipping your coffee. No expresso or other coffee drink varieties. Just simple pour over coffee. Pleasant customer service. I was able to try Caprese empanada which was small but still pretty good. I would stop by again if I'm in the neighborhood.

    Sausage empanada

    The sausage, egg, and cheese empanada was very flavorful. The breading was crisp on the outside and flaky on the inside. Great and efficient service. Fantastic live music was also being played. Great experience overall!

    4++ small coffee spot located in a strip mall in Cardiff. The place has a neighborhood favorite feel to it with beachy vibes probably emanating from the literal beach two blocks away. With her highly streamlined menu and quick and friendly service, this is a perfect spot to do a grab and go or to quickly enjoy your food here at the island counter where you can stand and soak everything in. I believe most if not all the coffees they do are pour overs and they only serve breakfast empanadas. Came here with my cousin a couple times now since she lives a brief walking distance from the spot. The coffee is great and the breakfast and empanadas are tasty. They give you Tapatio packets if you want an extra kick. This place is definitely a great spot for a small bite and your coffee fix.

    CBD Dream  They also sell a nice CBD balm

    Love this local go to spot. The menu is simple, the vibe is chill, service is friendly.

    First time to Cardiff Bump Coffee and it was very welcoming! I got my usual CBDream and more! Passion Tea and Serrano Chile and Bacon Egg Empanadas! So good! Service was friendly and atmosphere was chill. I love this place! Come check it out!

    Mint mojito. A beautiful drink!
    Michael S.

    Cute Cardiff by the sea beachside coffee shop. I has the mint mojito and was similar to Philz but less sweet, which is good, but I feel also less caffeine, which for me I'm a caffeine addict, but the drink tastes great. The girl serving me was helpful and while minor, the cup the drink is served in seems high quality for a disposable cup.

    I got the coffee mojito and thought it was really good! It is refreshing and the agave paired really well with the coffee. I also ordered the bacon egg and cheese empanada. The empanada was so so good! The outside was warm, flakey! The bread vs filling ratio was really good, sometimes there's not enough filling in other empanada's but Bumps ratio was really good. I will definitely come back again to try the other empanada's and get more of the coffee mojito!

They didn't have some of the steak or pepperoni ones. So the choice is a little limited if there is a larger order before your order. Location : is a bit hot inside Patio: cute and open up where you can take a sit and watch outside while enjoying your empanadas Taste wise: taste is pretty good, a bit expensive for the size and the breading or dough is a bit dry for my taste. The front desk guy is pretty friendly. Out of the three, my favorite is actually the Spanish! It's pretty cheesy too. Just wish there are hot sauces that can pair up with the empanadas. I did tried their little red sauce..it's pretty much tasted just tomatoes sauce in a way. If there were some hot sauces it would had been perfect Overall: I want them to do well, a bit expensive for three of them, and I might stop by when I crave it tho, not the usual tho. Again for the price is a bit expensive for it.

We were seated quickly and the server was really great throughout the whole meal and very knowledgeable about the food. I appreciated that he let us know about the specials without us needing to ask. We started off with some drinks. I got a red wine sangria and it was good but I did find it to taste a bit watered down but it wasn't a huge deal! We also got a carne empanada and the flavor was to die for. The beef and onion was so delicious and savory. It was juicy inside but the outside was crispy and dry not soggy at all. The portion size was fairly large as well. We also got the yuca frites. They were good. Crispy but still nice and starchy and filling. Not my favorite dish but only because of personal preference and not because they didn't do it well! Lastly we ended with the pork shank special they had for the night. It was absolutely amazing. The meat just fell off the bone and was so tender. I loved how the mushroom and spinach came with the pork. All of the different parts of the fish came together really well to made it exceptional. It was a hearty and comforting meal and I wish it were on their regular menu! I'm excited to come here again in the future to try more dishes.

My daughter and I were on our way to find some food and by our luck we saw the billboard Casera! We looked at the menu and were taking it back it was a Colombian/Peruvian restaurant it had messed up both worlds !

They knocked it out of the park! A lot of places miss the Mark but this place got it just right the flavors were great the meat was just tender with a side of rice and the fries it was just perfect! Had an Arepa con Queso because yes! Pilsen Callao to wash it down with! Also had a chat with the owner who had a similar backstory like mine half Colombian half Peruvian from New York and now resides in San Diego! So if you're in Oceanside and you want a great place to have lunch or dinner, look no further than Casera!

I've had everything from their saltado dishes, empanadas of various kinds, an assortment of their pastries, and ready to go drinks. Everything has been good for the most part. Tho when I'm craving a dessert stop here I favor the guava pastry and the alfajores, & you have to special order the cheese Pastry/bread. I'm a huge fan of "pudim" that's how you say flan in Portuguese! Yet the flan is not my favorite here since the sugar caramelization it's usually cooked too much, causing a burnt flavor, and the consistency is too aerated rather than having a creamy and smooth consistency. I've tried it a few times and that seems to be their consistent style. We get cravings for this place and like that we're mainly serviced by the nice owners of this restaurant. The restaurant is decorated in their native culture in mind. I love that! If you're craving a good empanada or a sweet tooth treat come and give them a try!
