    If you're coming for breakfast come in through the back (red shack)..Such a cute little spot, nice ambiance very clean. I felt the folks taking/making the orders were very welcoming. 10/10 Food was great and coffee is amazing but the cookies my god, they're AMAZING !!

    Cute little coffee shop located in Pacific Beach. There's not much out here but this place is always open in the morning to make my venti soy latte. The barista was so kind and friendly. They have a cool retro all in one video game machine that I used to pass the couple minutes we were waiting while others were getting their drink orders. The bathroom is pretty cool. It looks like a British telephone booth.

    Apparently many eateries close up after the summer season. We happened to stop in during the Christmas holidays and found this restaurant mostly closed up. Still, there were a few tables available for dining. Our table had a view of the surf perhaps a few blocks away. The abiane here is artsy. Knotty pine walls and ceiling, with plywood floors. A calming vibe resides here. Ready for breakfast, we ordered a breakfast burrito and a breakfast bowl. The breakfast bowl was $8. With a couple bottled juices and a 24 oz. hot tea, the total came to $30 and change. I added a 20% cash tip. Kinda pricey for what I got, but there aren't too many places to eat near my lodging this time of year. For this resort area on the coast, I can't imagine the prices are much different during the tourist season.

    My remote working office in PB. Cozy table for one near the window, with convenient outlet (and tasty latte).

    Well made coffee, good food options, steady/decent bandwidth/free wifi, and friendly service. I've made it my go-to remote working office, the few times I've needed to work while traveling through PB, and I'm always greeted with a friendly smile, a good cup of coffee, and a comfortable private table with an outlet for my laptop.

    Seriously?!

    I just waited an hour for this breakfast burrito. Everyone seemed to be late. I showed up at 7:45, they open at 7. Extremely disappointed and frustrated at wasting so much time. Won't be coming back.

    Service wasn't very fast but I blame the two customers ahead of me (asking for their drinks to be remade because the customers forgot to ask for modifications). Barista working was not friendly and seemed annoyed we ordered breakfast sandwiches. No employees or customers were wearing masks. You could see a used mask sitting on the back room counter where they prepare food. Barista also used her bare hands to grab our food and assemble the breakfast sandwiches. Not once in the 30 minutes we were there did I see her wash her hands. The ultimate thing for me was this hair/pube stuck to the side of my cup. My drink was average, milk wasn't aerated well and the espresso tasted weak for having an extra shot.

    Good coffee in a place with few options. Food is ok but so worth it given the locale. Enjoy!

    Cute little coffee joint within walking distance from the beach and great, fast service! :) Highly recommend the "spicy" hot chai tea latte.

    The coffee was great, the kids had hot chocolate and cinnamon rolls on one visit and ice cream on the next.

I ordered a hot chai with toffee flavor and it was good and spicy. I also ordered a breakfast sandwich which was delicious. Tasted like it didn't come from a freezer which is good. I tried an ice coffee as well and I will be thinking about that for a while. The coffee flavor was perfectly creamy and not watery at all with flavor. The doughnut is also a must. They make them in house!

    I'm so sad to write a negative review because I was so excited to try this place since we hadn't…read moreeaten here since the new larger location. My husband and I arrived 1-1:30 today and we both ordered burgers. My husband ordered a bacon blue cheese burger with steak fries and I ordered an impossible burger with Swiss with shoestring fries. My husband's ordered arrived first and the fries were normal fries not really steak fries, but they were hot and tasty. The waitress said that mine would be coming shortly and that they were waiting in the fries. Upon my husband's first bites of his burger he discovered it was totally cold. He took it up to the counter and then my dish was dropped and it was the same issue. The waitress took mine back and dropped his plate again and told us if it isn't ok then we could get a refund. This was when we discovered the burger was microwaved (still had his bites taken out of it), and the fries sat out while the burger was in the microwave. Yes, now we have a microwaved burger and cold fries. Knowing this how they handled his cold burger we decided to just get a refund and go somewhere else for lunch. I think this issue arose because they served the food for a table of 5 or 6 people that placed their order after ours. The big table got their food before us. Knowing what happened to our food and seeing them eat before us made the conclusion pretty simple, their order should have never been processed before ours. This is why the waitress said the kitchen was backed up. It was just a big fail. I think the problem is that everyone working there was very young and I feel they were very inexperienced in having the skills it takes to work in a kitchen, serve food or deal with customer service. When the cashier did the refund of my husband's meal, she only refunded his. I asked if she also refunded mine since they had it back for the same reason, she asked, "oh, you want yours refunded too"? I'm not sure how this refund is going to work with doing two separate refunds on one ticket. I checked our bank and the charge was pending so I will have to follow it for the next couple of days to see where it puts us. Honestly in my opinion, she should have refunded it all, including the tip. They kept the tip. We will give this place another try in 4 to 6 months to give them time to work out their issues. Hopefully someone will see this post and work on additional training.

    april 11th, 2026…read more honestly, i was hesitant to come here at first due to the mixed recent reviews, but during a week-long stay in ocean shores, ocean beach roasters became our go-to place for coffee and breakfast. i don't have photos of everything we ordered (sorry! i wasn't initially planning on writing a review). over the course of a few visits, we ordered the sockeye benedict, country hash, G.O.A.T., brunch burger, turkey croissant, and eggs benedict. we also got the seasonal fruit, cottage potatoes, tim's salted potato chips, sausage patties, side toast, and cookie. as a warning to others, the main thing we DID NOT LIKE was the seasonal fruit extra/add-on because it was $4 for literally 5 pieces of fruit. we were disappointed about the quantity and think this should just be taken off the menu as i don't think anyone would want to pay this price for that little amount of fruit. however, the rest of our food and experiences was enjoyable, so we're able to look past this. i can see why some people would think the service can take some time, but there are usually only 1-2 people working the floor. so yeah, it's going to take some time, especially when it's busy. pls have some patience and communicate w the staff if you need anything. the employees were always nice, welcoming, and hospitable every time we came, especially greta (hopefully that is her name!!!). we were helped by her every time we came in. my friend rly admired her work ethic (called her a hustler) as she was always doing something, whether it was cleaning, taking an order, serving food, making coffee, etc. all the staff was great. we mostly interacted with the women who work here, but were assisted by greta the most so we always looked forward to seeing her :) i made a joke to my friend that when i ordered the G.O.A.T., i'm surprised greta didn't come with my order. as for the food, we rly liked a lot of it. both of the eggs benedicts were better than some of the ones i have had in seattle, so i was pleasantly surprised. the english muffins were toasted deliciously, the hollandaise sauce was a good consistency and flavor, and the eggs were poached well and runny. the croissant for my turkey croissant was flaky and airy mmm my friend wants to get this the next time he's here! i appreciate the variety of the menu for both food and coffee. it was hard for me to decide what to eat every time because i wanted to try a lot of the menu!!! i also appreciate how many sauces they have as condiments. they have a whole wall shelf of different sauces (i was excited to see the yellowbird sriracha hot sauce). as for the coffee, i think it's ok lol. it's fine to get just to get but after i tried the specialty drinks they had at the time (the lucky charm latte and nutty irishman cold brew) i didn't want anything else. they had a lot of syrups though!! which i like as a sweet coffee girlie. overall, my friend and i enjoyed every visit we made to this establishment and would 100% recommend it to everyone, both visiting and local. my friend's review: Service is amazing. They had good oatmeal raisin cookies. The coffee is alright. Good amount of options on the menu, not too many, which is nice. Food is fresh. Greta is the GOAT. She's a very hard worker. The bathroom is clean. The blue agave Siracha is good. The eggs benedict is good. Nice interior. They have the best ice, crushed ice
