    Sunrise Bagel
    Taylor H.

    We live in the area and decided to walk over to Ocean Cafe this morning. We were so pleasantly surprised! The beach vibe and music makes for a laid back, relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Our bagel sandwiches were yummy and they have tons of protein shakes and even bullet proof coffee! I am always looking for places that do macadamia nut lattes and theirs did not disappoint! The staff member who took our order had a bit of a hard time understanding us, but that was the only slight hiccup we had at the cafe.

    Açaí Smoothie w/ Peanut Butter
    C W.

    Easy in and out location and can get them on doordash too. Lilly and Liv are the best, great food, great atmosphere and best peanut butter acai smoothies.

    Halloween drink

    My favorite Vietnamese iced coffee spot. The Brazilian cheese bread is amazing here and gluten free.

    Immune system
    Wendy M.

    I ordered the Immune System and it came out brown. Normally beet juices come out more red. They said it was because of their recipe but it just tasted like blended ice with a splash of beets, spinach and a little bit of ginger. I would not recommend.

    Ordered a bagel breakfast sandwich online and it took 30 minutes to make -- for what turned out to be the driest bagel I've ever had. The bacon was soggy, and the whole thing was just disappointing. I don't understand the hype. Definitely not worth the wait.

    Original acai bowl with peanut butter
    Lindsey R.

    Visiting from Vegas, walked here from my Airbnb with my cute Labrador. Got the original Acai bowl + added peanut butter to go. Was very delicious with incredibly fresh ingredients. Highly recommend!

    Tuna Sandwich
    Mariya S.

    Perfect little breakfast cafe that we were lucky to have close to where we stayed! I was surprisingly impressed with the prices, the food was delicious, I got Tuna salad on croissant, I loved the coffee and overall it was a nice experience. I prefer small cafes over popular by the beach places and this one was a hit for me personally. Recommend

    Acai Bowl @ Ocean Cafe
    Brian C.

    Acai bowl is top-tier! The staff was super friendly and the bowl was made to order. Their bowls have won a ton of awards (I can see why) and they have pre-made options in addition to "build your own" customizable ordering. I came in early on a Tuesday, so the cafe was pretty quiet and not crowded at all. I needed a place to work for a bit while waiting for my car to finish at the shop, and when I arrived I was a bit worried that Ocean Cafe wasn't the type of place that welcomes remote workers to hang around too long with their laptops. But, I found out later that they do offer free wi-fi for paying guests, you just need to ask for the password at the counter. The seating area is nice but kind of small, I probably wouldn't stay more than an hour or two, but it's definitely nice for a quick meal!

    Churro protein shake and strawberry banana protein shake
    Nina G.

    Best protein shake I've ever had I'm so serious. Both were so good but especially the churro. Will be coming back here regularly for sure.

    Out front.
    William W.

    I see you! Not bragging about yourself and having a down low presence of location and signage out front. But the word is out! And I found about you so you know imma blab about you. I'm staying in PB and feeling cafe, sweet and tasty needs must be taken care of. The suggestion is thrown down, the Yelp research is done and off we go. Before and after I go there, multiple people say "I've never been there, but I order from the place all the time" That's because it's where the good stuff comes from. Parking is ample and it's a cozy spot if you just want to hang. They have breaky and lunch covered with savory and sweet. That Nutella croissant is a party in your mouth for sure. The vibe is super chill as well. Order delivery all you want. I'll still be going out on lookout securing the culinary perimeter.

I asked for the girl that worked at the counter to please only make it slightly sweet. It was absolutely perfect. Just the slightest hint of gingerbread, not that sweet. Didn't overpower the fantastic roast on the beans. She was very nice, she delivered it to me on the patio and even offered to remake it if I didn't like the sweetness level. I could tell the coffee was very much my taste. I went back inside after I finished my latte and talked to the girl at the counter for a little while. She helped me choose a bag of coffee to bring home, talk to me about the flavor, nuances and let me smell them, etc.. She also introduced me to the owner/Roster who happened to be there at the time. He and his wife are from Columbia and all of their beans are sourced from there and then he roasts them for sale locally. He was telling me that he's been roasting coffee beans in San Diego for other coffee shops and he still does that but he opened his first coffee shop in 2018. I truly had so many more questions, but I could tell he was busy and didn't want to bother him, he was trying to finish up the roasts on all of the specialty coffees for the holiday gift packs!
