Coming from South San Diego and moving to North San Diego County I was struggling finding an authentic Mexican coffee shop. When I finally found Plantology, which lived down the street from my new place, I couldn't be more happier of the convenience and also finding the perfect Mexican coffee shop in the heart of South Oceanside. I've also purchased a few plants there a couple months ago and they're still thriving. Highly recommend giving Plantology a try. My go to drinks to get are their hot cafe de la Olla or their iced la Morena

The owner Jason is such an asshole! I am never ever gonna…read morecome back here ever agin for my black coffee with espresso shots. This afternoon ago around 3 PM, I sat outside just enjoying my plane on a cold windy day. While siting and just having my coffee minding my own business, i heard a loud scream. It turns out these loud rowdy middle school girls walked past by this coffee place laughing, they saw me for the way I look, of course, I was wearing all black, had eyeliner and black nail polish. 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've been to Parakeet Cafe a lot and I really enjoy their food, drinks, and especially the…read moregluten-free options and the fact that they don't use seed oils. Iove their matcha lattes, the salads, the gluten free sourdough, the quinoa wafers, cucumber chips and almond butter toast. What truly keeps me coming back, though, is the staff. Every visit, I've received excellent customer service. Ryan, Olivia, Rachel, and Jehova have all been wonderful. I know I'm forgetting a few names, but honestly, everyone who has helped me there has been great. I believe Jehova is the manager, and i can tell he stays on top of everything and genuinely cares about both the employees and the customers. One thing I have noticed, however, is a high amount of turnover, especially among the managers. That doesn't reflect very well on the ownership not being able to retain their good employees, because the employees are a huge part of what makes this business successful.

Everyone, especially my dad because it was his first experience (and he's picky) loved the food, coffee drinks and liquid therapy! The 6 adults (me included) easily finished the pitcher of mimosas, we chose the pomegranate lemonade. 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! I had the pesto quesadilla with black beans and rosemary potatoes, it was delicious. Can't remember our servers name but she easily a group 6 adults, an almost 15 yo and an 11 yo. She returned to the table several times to ask if we needed refills, another drink and how we were enjoying everything. I feel it was a victory for me that I got my parents hooked on this place and they both loved the food! I love taking people here! Than you Naked Cafe and staff for a wonderful birthday brunch yesterday !

It's one of my favorite spots because the staff always make you feel taken care of, and the quality of the meals keeps me coming back. Unfortunately, during my last visit there was a homeless man who came inside with feces on his shoes, and the smell was extremely strong. I truly feel bad for the situation he's in, but it made the environment really difficult to sit in and ended up making us lose our appetite. We actually had to leave because of it. I hope this can be handled in a compassionate but practical way so customers can continue to enjoy the great food and service that Naked Cafe provides.

I am very confused at the hype and reviews for this restaurant. It's an okay brunch spot at best…read more The attention for this place is driven by dishes catered towards Instagram and eating with your eyes, not the actual experience of eating with your hands and mouth. It's tough to get a table for a weekend noon. I booked our reservation a few weeks ahead of time. Parking is either near the train tracks across the street or on the curb. We got the egg dish and salad bowl. The yogurt for the eggs was deliciously spiced; dipping in the toasted bread into the gooey poached egg, creamy yogurt, and herbs was delicious! My issue with this dish were the herbs that were too large. Was I expected to stick a big piece of herb on my toast? The dish is saucy with the chili oil so my clothes were dirty with the oil covered herbs. Chop the herbs smaller for practicality! Another dish suffered from the execution. We got the bowl which I thought was going to be a grain bowl. Rather, it was a ridiculously-sized salad--as much leaves as a pack from the grocery store! There were toppings within like slices of avocado, pieces of orange, farro, and nuts. I felt like I was trying to treasure hunt to look for these pieces. The salad was comically oversized. It was dressed fine but suffered from the portion size. You could see this theme with the French toast too where you get 1/3 of a baked bread. I'm honestly confused by this chef who has amazing experience. Why do you construct dishes that are difficult and impractical to eat? Less is more. These dishes need extensive edits. How this place got Bib Gourmand is honestly surprising to me.

The boutique is a little more pricey but with good reason, every piece of clothing looked so carefully made and unique.

Even the bathroom was beautiful! I ordered a lavender latte and chocolate croissant. The latte was delicious and the cream top really made it. So good. Croissant was like any other really but personally, can't go wrong with chocolate. I'm curious about the lavender lemonade and I'd like to try their high tea sometime.
