I've been coming here for decades and have watched this place grow with our city. Local food local staff and just good home cooking and so much more. read more

We LOVE this place !! The staff remembers our previous orders. The menu selection is incredible. We feel like we're in a favorite diner. The murals are stunning. Other diners are talking to each other. Who does that if they're not comfortable? read more

This used to be my absolute favorite place!!! Diego has always been good to me there; the food is great and good drinks. unfortunately I'll never go again after the disrespect I felt from the waitres, extremely rude and horrible customer service!! read more

Ordered at 1:30, lights were turned off at 1:45 (they close a 2) Luckily there are big windows to let in plenty of light but it sent a negative message. Like hurry up and get out, we close at 2 dammit. Had to ask for iced tea refills, although that's normal here depending on who's working. I've learned over the years to order the Eggs Florentine on an English muffin instead of the super hard French roll they serve it on. To order a side of tomatoes instead of potatoes since the potatoes are hit and miss. And of course to add Bacon. This will be my last visit here since we've moved to San Juan Capistrano and there's breakfast places in Dana Point that are better. But if you're in the area and need breakfast without a huge wait, this place fits the bill. read more

Harbor House Cafe - Eggs Florentine, add bacon & side of tomatoes - New American Near Me - Oceanside, California

If you're looking for a place with great tasting food and big portions, this is the place. I've been coming here for years. Sometimes the service is a bit slow, but it's always busy. The food is totally worth it! Super big portions and always tastes great! All the servers are very friendly! I've had pretty much everything on the menu, but my favorite is the pancakes! Even though I usually go for breakfast, I've had lunch there too and it's always yummy! read more

I met some of my high school friends for breakfast at the Harbor House Cafe on Thursday on January 27, 2022 at 9 a.m. This is my first time that I have eaten at this Harbor House Cafe for a Breakfast meeting. After about 7 classmates showed up at this Harbor House Cafe, then we started to order our breakfast meal. I placed my order with my server Arianna she took my order today. I ordered the one quantity of the CA Omlet it is filled with (bacon bits, scrambled eggs, diced onions, and mushrooms). The avocados are sliced and placed on top of this CA Omlet. The price is $13.95. Then I had the choice of choosing a side order like a serving of the home potatoes, 2 toasts, 2 buttermilk biscuits or one serving of the coffee cake. I had chosen the home potatoes for my side order this is included with the CA Omlet. I also wanted to eat a dessert. I ordered the one serving of the Coffee Cake. It has a Cinnamon and Sugar Streusel topping. The price is $4.95. Then for my beverage is the Decaffeinated Coffee. The price is $3.95. This total cost was $22.00. It took about 15 minutes until my CA Omlet with the home potatoes and the one serving of coffee cake was brought out to our table. While we were waiting for our breakfast orders to be brought over to our table, everyone of my Oceanside High School Classmates were reminscing about our Oceanside High School days and the events we did as a remembrance. It was a lot of fun for me to meet my classmates and it was also a long time coming. Our servers were very attentive like Arianna and Kristen. Arianna stopped by our table at least 4 times and she refilled my cup with decaffeinated coffee. Kristen was filling up all the water glasses. Arianna was very friendly, attentive, and helpful in helping me to choose one of their most popular dishes. Arianna recommended to me to order their CA Omlet with the home potatoes and their Coffee Cake. I ordered all of these 3 items from their menu. Arianna informed me their most popular dishes on their menu is their Belgian Waffles, French Toast, Omlets, their Egg Benedicts with the Hollandise Sauce, Breakfast Burritos, and their Coffee Cake. Everything that I have eaten was very delicious and flavorful. I will be going back to eat at this Harbor House Cafe soon due to their food is very delicious, I also received excellent customer service from Arianna and Kristen our two servers. Their prices are very affordable. I really loved the inside of this Harbor House Cafe. Their were Ocean scenery that was painted on their walls. It was very beautiful atmosphere and very relaxing. I highly recommend this Harbor House Cafe. read more

We absolutely love this place!!! Diego is the best! And all the servers are very nice. They have a great variety of food no matter what you're craving and everything is amazing read more

I had a breakfast scramble called the California It had mushrooms, tomatoes,cheese. Plus it came with country potatoes and I had an English muffin. Service was very friendly and the ambience has a beach vibe. read more

With decent ratings and in the area that this place is, I would've expected a lot better. I was strolling, appetite building all morning until I finally walked through these doors. Aesthetically the place was appealing but the food on the other hand? It took away my entire appetite. The vegetables were raw in the scramble I ordered, there was no seasoning and felt like it was thrown together by someone possessing a black heart. The cinnamon roll was a 4/10, below avg but not horrible. The other food was at most a 2/10. I can't believe this place is still open with the food culture present around the area. Service wise they were great and took the input we gave them, however I guarantee they won't apply it. These are nice people but I have to say this place should close or at least hire someone who knows how to cook. read more

My partner was working on the Pendleton base so we met here for lunch. It was not busy when we came and they have a dog friendly patio. The food was good and coffee was decent diner coffee. our server was expecting our needs before we could ask for things which was a wonderful change of pace in today's service industry. I only give 4 stars because I over analyze the cleanliness of restaurants due to my own anxieties and I feel this area could use a little bit of work. Has a laid back beach vibe and a small parking lot. read more

If you love supporting mom and pop small businesses then you have to come here. I've never had a bad meal here. The French toast, coffee cake, cinnamon roll, sandwiches or breakfast dishes are delicious! The service was great even when I heard them apologize for them being down 2 servers. Our food came out quickly and tasted great! The mimosas and coffee are a perfect start to your breakfast. If you come in on the weekend it can get busy since it's been around for years but definitely worth the short wait. Prices are good too. This has become one of our go to breakfast spots and I highly recommend them. read more

We visited Oceanside over the long Labor Day weekend and before we stopped at the beach my husband and I wanted to have some great breakfast. After searching places in the area for a while we randomly picked harbor house cafe. Unfortunately, we didn't have a good experience which was upsetting because I love trying new breakfast spots in hopes that it will be delicious. I went with the veggie omelet which had mushrooms, tomatoes, cheese and avocado on top. Ingredients where not fresh and the egg had no flavor I couldn't eat more then a few bites. The hash brown was very thin and dry and only taste I got from my one bite was oil. My husband was pretty disappointed with his breakfast burrito as well. However, staff was very friendly. read more

Left our hotel in Oceanside and on our way home, when the wife said she was hungry. We happened to see the Harbor House Cafe. It looked like a classic neighborhood cafe and we decided to give it a try. So glad we did! Diego and Monica were awesome. Very attentive and gave us great tips on what to try. Wife had the Eggs Benedick and Diego suggested the Special, Salsa Verde Chilaquiles for me. Benedick was made with a thick slice of ham and wife loved it. the Special was as good as Diego said it was. We hope to return soon. read more

We have been coming here for some years. Only one server has ever acknowledged us. A vigorous young man has always been helpful.

Amazing food , portion size, and the best service I have ever received. I will continue to keep coming here even though I live all the way in Fallbrook. One thing I love about this place is that it is family owned and you will actually see the owners working and serving their customers. 10/10! read more

The vibes are amazing very clean establishment and you can feel the vibes of family restaurant. we were asked several times how we were doing by multiple people not just the waitress.
