I love açaí bowls and am always trying them at different places. This one didn't disappoint. We were on our way to the beach so what better way to enjoy a tasty açaí bowl especially when it's so close to the beach. It was so fresh and good! There are some places that I don't care for the açaí. But this place was excellent! I will be back when I'm in town.

We will be going back after 11 to try the new Savory pizza style selections. You can't say you have been to Oceanside unless you go to Parlor Doughnuts!

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!!!!!

It's beautiful inside and there's tons of seating with even more outside. Quiet music. Many outlets available for customers. Highly recommend for studying. I found the service to be friendly as well. However I really did not enjoy the coffee as it was extremely watery. Unfortunately it was more expensive than a fancier latte I had from Camp Coffee that same day. I would come back and try some of the food just to be able to enjoy the space but likely won't get coffee again

The service is always great at this Oceanside location and my dog loves their pup cups! They put a little milk bone in it too. Nice! I do the drive- through at this location for convenience with my dog! The Encinitas location lacks a drive-through and parking can be challenging, but it is in a walkable area and it has an open air concept so even when inside you feel like you are outside. The roast of their coffee is fuller and smoother than that Star***** ( which I find to be too acidic). Nice with the drive- through for quick , quality service!

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!

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!

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!
