    He is operating out of this trailer for now
    Abigail P.

    Mo the owner super chill guy. Fun conversationalist and you can tell he has a really big passion for his business. I definitely will be making this spot a regular on my circulation of cafes. Chill outdoor seating but he is moving from the trailer to the plaza right behind the trailer. He roasted his own beans and the Turkish coffee is definitely authentic and delicious. Will be back to try the food and other drinks. He is open until 4 which is awesome for the afternoon pick me up

    Saffron and Cardamom Iced Latte
    Nathan L.

    Love this cute café! Much needed in Oceanside and a welcome addition to the coffee scene. I had a dirty chai latte the first time and then a saffron and cardamom latte the second time and both were amazing. The staff and the owner have all been friendly and welcoming; they really curate a good vibe for all. I loved their little book case filled with literature on Palestinian culture and history and they have a few products by local SWANA makers. Worth stopping by for a drink, a read, or a chat with the staff.

    Came for a smog test next door and saw this gem! They have all kinds of coffees! I was surprised by the large variety of choices! I was feeling a lavender iced latte . It was very flavorful. they have nice and comfortable outdoor seating to enjoy your drink and day. Also cherry on top! Owner is a really cool guy. Very welcoming, very friendly, and very helpful. Ill definitely be coming back! Thank you

    Highly recommend! I've been here a few times and the owner is super kind + friendly, always making sure the pup gets her pup cup first. We've tried the Spanish latte, tiramisu latte, and coconut latte. I've loved all of them but my favorite has been the coconut latte-- I feel like I'm back in Hawaii! Overall great service and coffee. Will definitely keep coming back, and can't wait for the storefront to be open soon!

    Great authentic Turkish coffee! The owner is super nice. The other patrons were great to chat with while there. The Turkish Delight was great too!

    This coffee truck is perfect! It's located beside another food truck and a mechanics shop. Parking is limited. There was plenty of outdoor seating. It's a great place to hang out. I got their pastries today. It was average. I'm not sure if they made it or not. The chocolate chip croissant was good. The plain croissant was nothing special. Service was friendly. I Will need to try their coffee next time.

    I heard that there was a new café in town, and I decided to check them out. Introducing Sands Coffee Roasters, located on Oceanside Boulevard and Camelot. Sands Coffee Roasters specializes in Turkish coffee and uses the traditional means of hot sand in order to brew the fresh coffee beans. It was very interesting, just viewing the process and having it explained to me and the beans are very rich and yet are not bitter. I'm not really a coffee Aficionado, but I can really appreciate the care & preparation into this drink and I also appreciate that they have alternative milk options. You can find this small-business gem on Oceanside Boulevard & Camelot Drive, in the Five Star Smog parking lot. They have a very cute outdoor dining-area with umbrella for shading that seats a few customers. The breeze that blows through the area is cooling and the only downside is the random traffic noise. They have a great menu selection that features: Espresso Americano Cappuccino Mocha Nitro Latté Shakerato Affogato Tai Tea Teas Mexican Chocolate I can also appreciate that they serve various sweets & pastries that are all locally sourced. I highly recommend this gem of a café if you appreciate good coffee & supporting small businesses. I also appreciate the fantastic price-points too! Everything is so affordable! I guess the only downside I can give this place is a lack of a restroom, but I believe that customers can ask the Smog Shop next door if there's an emergency. Other than that, this place is awesome blessing to the Oceanside Coffee Drinking Community.

    Dear Yelp Community, Tried this mobile coffee company recently. For a small cart, the menu is extensive. Staff is cheerful. Brings hospitality to the area. Well wishes. Sincerely, Anna

    Saffron Vanilla Cardamom Latte  it's delicious
    Brittney B.

    I'm excited for them to open their store soon! Their lattes are excellent (I tried the biscoff and the Vanilla saffron cardamom). Great energy from the owner made our experience even better- we can't wait to come back.

    Sands Coffee Roasters is a cute little coffee truck in Oceanside with tons of great coffee and tea options. The barista was super friendly and got our big order done fast, even though she was the only one making the drinks. Definitely try the Crème Brûlée latte - it's got a perfect mix of nutty and sweet flavors. I'll be back to try more, especially since they have unique drinks like a Tiramisu Latte and a Peanut Butter and Strawberry Latte. There are a few parking spots out front, plus a bunch of other food trucks around, and some tables and chairs where you can hang out, sip your coffee, and enjoy the fresh air.

    The service was well, good coffee if you like bananas and coconut. Support local businesses!

    Friendly and helpful service. Had a lavender coffee. Not to sweet. I enjoyed it and would get it again. Cutest lil coffee trailer. I liked the cups sleeve also. It covered the whole cup. There are tables and chairs with umbrellas in front also.

I got the "High Tide" coconut vanilla latte. It was delicious! And not too sweet. It was made by Lex who was super friendly. Mike went above and beyond and gave me a complimentary slice of their house banana bread. Incredibly thoughtful gesture and it was sooo good! And again not too sweet. This is a special little coffee shop with wonderful people, thoughtfully crafted drinks, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. I'll definitely be back.

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 drove up to go to Boomers for a school event, and yes, I hit some traffic in the afternoon. The…read moredrive made me sleepy, so on my way back, since now the traffic was heavier, I looked for some place to grab a coffee. Revolution came up and was close. Right off of Vista Way in Oceanside. Scored a spot right in front...must've been kismit! They have the regular coffees but also some signature drinks as well. But it looks like there's some seasonal coffees too. Friendly hello when it was my turn. Me: So what do you think, butterscotch or pistachio? He: I would say pistachio because sometimes the butterscotch is too sweet for some. Pistachio it was! So definitely inquire about the seasonal coffees because this was delicious! Great flavor and dark chocolate shavings on top. This helped keep me awake on my long drive home! Love that they're local! Also bought The Colores blend which they happily ground for me, and it is really good! Mellow flavor with a hint of dark chocolate finish. I now have a great spot to stop at if in the area and in need. They have great outdoor seating that's dog friendly, and a nice dining area.

    We visited Carlsbad for a few days and had breakfast in Oceanside. We decided to try this coffee…read morespot as it was right next to the breakfast joint we went to. Coffee 10/10 We ordered their vanilla latte with marshmallow cold foam and their coconut latte with toasted coconut cold foam. Both were incredible! The vanilla latte was not too sweet so the cold foam wasn't overkill at all. Both cold foams are more on the runny side and not too thick. The coconut latte was sooo tasteful. The coconut flavor definitely comes through. This was our first time trying a coconut latte and we were not disappointed. Food 9/10 We didn't order much food or pastries since we had breakfast prior but the pastries did look so good! We did get a salted shortbread to try and it was pretty solid. Vibes/Ambiance : 7/10 We came on a Tuesday morning and it was busy. The space is very spacious and there's plenty of seating area. There were people working there and hanging out. It's an open space so that was nice. The decor is minimal but cute. The staff is okay...I don't know if I'd describe as friendly, but they weren't rude. Not sure if it was the city as a whole but we didn't really feel welcomed or came across too many friendly people. It was the same here. Didn't interact much with us...just took our order and kept it pushing. lol not necessarily a bad thing but it was something we experienced a lot. Overall, the coffee was amazing here.
