    Parmesan and spinach bagel, well, half a bagel! Yum!
    Matthew S.

    Stopped by a local bagel shot this morning, [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great set up at this shop, waiting are, separate order pick up area, inside seating, coffee prep area away from the front with flavored creamers, half and half, 2% milk, and sweetener packets.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Fast service and fresh bagels smeared well. Oh, fresh squeezed OJ too! Worth a stop, nice lunch menu too!

    SO glad I came across this place. I always see it passing the 76 freeway, and finally got to try it. Food - Bagel sandwich is exactly what I wanted in one. Being able to select your cheese is great, and the customization is awesome. It adds time to the time, but that's okay. Service - VERY friendly and very helpful. And everyone working there on a busy Sunday morning looked like they were hustling. Ambiance - [[HIGHLIGHT]]Can be a quick takeout spot or you can sit down on one of their patio tables or few tables inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Veggie sandwich (everything bagel, no cheese). Comes with a side (i chose bag of chips)

    As a vegan, it's pretty hard for me to find good "quick" breakfast options, but I was lucky to find that I Love Bagels serves a delicious veggie sandwich that can be made vegan!!! I got an everything bagel with all the fixings (no cheese, no mayo) and it even came with a bag of chips. Service was friendly, and food came out quickly despite it being very busy on a Monday morning! [[HIGHLIGHT]]I decided to dine in, and was lucky to grab a table. There are about 6-7 tables with chairs indoors, a sofa in the waiting area, and about 2-3 tables with chairs outdoors.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place felt very home-y: it seems like the type of place that has a lot of regulars which is rare in a world full of fast food chains.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The owner was even walking around and talking to some fellow customers. I had a great time here, and hope to come again! I Love I Love Bagels!!!!!!!!

    Pastrami, breakfast sandwich on and everything bagel

    This place is amazing. The bagels are the best I've had in San Diego County and I think that's because of the two people that run it that are a nice couple from New Jersey. They've been doing us a long time and they know what they're doing.

    Great bagels in this small modest store front. The staff at 6:00 a.m. this morning was extremely helpful and cheery. We like the jalapeño cheese bagels. Our friends in Palm Desert "the bagel experts" love these bagels. We have nothing like this quality in the desert. So we stop here every time we're in Oceanside. Oh and by the way don't forget the cream cheese, the jalapeño is our favorite.

    Where ever we go, my husband has to find the local bagel shop. It's his go to, that or burritos, this was on the way to a destination, he yelped it I think, and it was great! They were popular, but we didn't have to wait too long, the place had their regulars and to-go orders and was in a busy shopping corner center. No complaints.

    The bagels and the mixed cream cheese for our works St patty day was so REFRESHING!! The staff member I met seemed so fired up to work there! Glad I met that kid!

    Bacon, egg, and cheese bagel.
    Emily I.

    Loved this bagel shop! Stopped here on the way to Boomers and ordered a bacon egg and cheese bagel. While the sandwich was just okay, the bagel itself is phenomenal! Soft, chewy, with a slightly crispy edge. My boyfriend ordered the chocolate chip bagel with cream cheese and he raved about it! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plus all of the photos from the establishment's opening was awesome! We even recognized the owner working in the back from the pictures on the wall. It's clear he takes pride in what he does.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The service is fast even when it's busy and it overall gave off a great vibe.

    Not bad for a quick bagel in the area, price is reasonable for a dozen as you get one for free!

    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!

    Such a cute coffee shop with great options. The front area has so many little gifts and next door…read moreis a flower shop, so you can grab a sip and do some shopping! Would be a great place to stop on your way to a birthday party to pick up a gift. I got the gluten free bagel with cream cheese and an oat milk chai latte, both were fantastic! Dare I say my favorite chai latte I've had in Oceanside so far!? The people behind the counter and who run the food were really nice and helpful. 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!

    We live nearby and have been trying to catch this place open. Didn't realize it was closed on…read moreMonday and when we came another time later in the day they were closed. I assume they make a certain amount and when they're gone they close and that's probably the way most places do it. Donuts were good, not greasy. I'm not a big donut person so they were ok and comparable to most places that don't have a greasy donut that leaves that oily taste in your mouth. What I really came for was the ham and cheese croissant but it was a little disappointing. Prices were actually much higher than I was expecting. We paid almost $20 for a ham and cheese croissant, blueberry cheese danish and 6 donuts including a cinnamon twist thing that I assume was supposed to be more than the others but I can't wrap my head around $18.30 for what we ordered. I legit think she charged me for 15 donuts instead of 5 cuz I saw something ring up as 15. Based off that I can confidently say I won't return. Items werent worth what I paid and if it was an error charge, the employee should have known that what I ordered was not close to $20 so I cant recommend this place
