Food was great and service was exceptional. Wanted to try something new around town and finally had an opportunity. I'll definitely be going back soon... read more

Definitely go here! This wouldn't be my first pick for a breakfast spot just due to location (it sucks) but wow is the food good! The place stays busy. Not sure if they reservations but if they do definitely make one. The service was HORRIBLE. I understand being busy but our server came and took our order after about 10 min of us waiting there and then we didn't get our food until about 25 min later. When the server did check in on us it felt like he was super rushed. Which didn't make sense since they were busy, yes, but the place was very small so not sure why the ambiance was that of chaos lol but on the other hand The music station they had was great. In all the food is worth going here but don't expect to be waited on. read more

Walking in on a late Wednesday morning, we waited several minutes before I sent my daughter toward the kitchen to let them know we were there. She caught eyes with the waitress then ran quickly back to me. Tweens. So skiddish. My daughter ordered biscuit (notice: not plural) and gravy, hash browns, eggs and fruit. I ordered eggs, pork patties (sausage), hash browns, and veggies. Dining al fresco was nice. The gravy was not. My daughter wasn't a fan even with most of it scraped off the biscuit. I would think the gravy meat and pork patties are the same, but they don't taste similar at all. We loved the patties. My vegetables were well seasoned, hash browns crunchy on the outside. Overall, it was a great breakfast. I'd definitely give it another go! read more

Walked in this morning for a last minute To Go cup of coffee - $5.00. Nothing else immediately close by, even a gas station if you're in a hurry. Should have taken the time to go back to Starbucks. Mediocre coffee. Just no. Should have walked out, Dumb me. read more

We are visiting from out of state and found this place via Google search. The atmosphere and service are very welcoming and warm. Our sever was friendly and very attentive. Our food was delicious! We are so happy we stopped here and will absolutely come back next time we are in the area! read more

Food tasted good very hospitable staff not very spacious though over all I would definitely give it another visit

Came in for breakfast for my boyfriends birthday. Everything was going fine until our food came. My boyfriend ordered the chilaquiles and on his first bite bit into a chunk of plastic and spit it out into his hand. We told the server that we found a piece of plastic in his food very politely and he said he would tell his manger for a discount. No apology and doesn't acknowledge that mishap the rest of the time we were there. The check comes back and it discounted 25% which was 4 dollars off the chilaquiles. Let me make this clear that I am not looking for free food or a discount. I came in ready to pay for the food for his birthday. I have worked in restaurants since I started working and I am a server currently at a restaurant. Let me just say I have never seen such horrible customer service. I know how the industry works and how certain things should be done and this was not it. I am angry with how this problem was dealt with. I realize it's not so much anyone fault! Not the servers not the cooks not the manager! Accidents happen and things like this are bound to happen in the restaurant industry i get it and have dealt with it. But when you bite into a foreign substance in food you are trusting to be safe to eat it makes you question the food the sanitary of the place and makes the meal in front of you unappetizing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not to mention it is his freaking birthday !!!!!!!!!!! The server should have taken the plate away and offered to have the dish re made or offered him something else to eat. Or the whole meal should have been Compt! The manager should have came to our table and personally apologized and corrected the issue. This is how it has been every place I have worked, and how it should work . If someone is not happy then you should make damn sure to make them happy or reviews like this come along!!! If they would have addressed the issue I wouldn't be writing this right now! This is a note to you " the owner" who is giving these disgusting responses to people's reviews because they left unhappy! No wonder the problem was so horribly dealt with, it's because the owner doesn't give a shit! I hope you realize people that keep coming back are what is going to keep your ass In business. I will go out of my way to let everyone I can know about your restaurant and shit on it because someone like you should not be in the industry. Honestly pathetic how I read what you said to those people lol you look like a douche, idiot. To see how much you care about your customers really shows how much u care about the sanitary conditions in the kitchen and everything else about the restaurant good luck buddy read more

One of our go to breakfast places. Their banana flambé French toast is delicious and not to be missed. Also, my husband loves the biscuits and gravy. I would have given 5 stars except they have a difficult time making eggs. My husband like his over easy but they're invariably slightly over cooked. I like mine over medium (with runny yolk) but they come out almost hard. Seems like eggs should be something a cook should be able to master fairly quickly. How difficult is it to make a good egg?? read more

Don't even bother wasting your time. The food was flavorless, the floors and tables were dirty. The service wasn't too bad, but everything else was a disappointment read more

This place is still in its new phase. I unfortunately have to say it's pretty bland. Soon they'll have specialty coffee but for now it's just a locals' coffee brew (she didn't give the brand name) it was decent but the sugar packets were hard and crystallized as if they had been exposed to moisture or were just plain old packets. I'm not sure... The waffles didn't taste right to me, & the eggs were okay & the cheddar was mild. To be honest I'm very glad their prices were lower than some of their competitors but I do wish the quality was quit different. Overall I'd say it was just an okay breakfast. Nothing too fancy to brag about. Initially there was sugar or salt on the placemat and table when we first sat down. So the table wasn't fully cleaned off before we sat ourselves. Of course that's easy to miss because you cannot see it... I'm thinking either of the two things will happen here: That this place will improve as they get going more or it will only get worse. I'm hoping it gets better. read more

Wife and I ate here while in town. Service was good and quality of food was excellent. We are the Breakfast Burrito and Chorizo and Eggs. Owner was there and ensured everything' was taken care of. We will definitely return when in area again. read more

This was a great find for us. We live in Oceanside near Arrowood and we are always searching for new places to eat. I found the Breakfast Mug on yelp and we tried it. This was one delicious meal! I had the Chicken Machaca and my husband had the Breakfast Burrito, both were outstanding. I highly recommend this great breakfast spot in Oceanside! read more

This is by far the worst customer service I've ever received! I went with a group of 16 people to have breakfast at this place and the 2 men turned us away and suggested we go to other restaurants because they were not willing to give us different checks. Their demeanor and unwillingness to serve us totally unacceptable! read more

Great service and it's nice inside... i thought the location is good as it's in the busy area. Being a breakfast place, i would have thought more coffee variety, but one regular one. The food was okay. Nothing really that special. I had the burrito and it was good...the veggies on the side were a bit greasy for me... so, I didn't eat it. The waiter was nice though! Great customer service! read more

Came in on a Saturday for brunch. Had the Breakfast Board...wow! Everything cooked perfectly. More protein than my wife and I could finish. Scrambled eggs were perfect...my wife normally hates scrambled eggs but these she ate way more than 1/2 of the portion. French toast fabulous. Avocado toast way too big lol. My new top choice for breakfast in No. County read more

Food is incredibly fresh, their french toast is amazing. It tastes like vanilla with no hint of eggs. The wait time is a bit long, around 20 minutes. read more

Delicious breakfast sandwich & salmon benedict. The only critique is when (crispy bacon) is requested in an omelette, you best believe the person who requested it will not love undercooked bacon. Thankfully, they put at least 3-4 strips of bacon in an omelette(after extracting all the undercooked/fatty pieces, 1 full piece was edible), so it was a nice balance based on the ratio of the rest of this particular breakfast plate. read more

It must of been an off day or something. My wife and I decided to give this place a try and we both left very disappointed. I love carne asada fries so I had to give them a try... worst carne asada fries EVER!!! If I'm paying $12 for carne asada fries I better be getting asada fries but this was not the case. It has to be a crime to serve carne asada fries that bad. My wife had an omelette and was also very disappointed hardly any avocado on it and the bacon was meh at best. Great customer service though extra star for that that. read more

Came here recently and ordered the breakfast platter. It was a generous amount of food and everything was so fresh and good. Would definitely come back! Wait was a little long for the food but so worth it. read more

Excellent service the staff was attentive. The food was delicious the gravy was delicious such great flavor perfect seasoning. This my first time here I highly recommend it and would come back again for breakfast. read more

First time customer and this place has amazing customer service and delicious food. I am a disabled veteran with a service dog and they made me feel at home. The bacon was hot and crispy and the pancake was fluffy with a delicious vanilla flavor. I will definitely be back and will bring my family. read more

Terrible service! Completely unacceptable. We were put on the waiting list then told to come back in 10 minutes. Showed up exactly 10 min later was told they called are name already. Then said "it will take a long time to get your food sorry" makes no sense read more

Our new go to breakfast spot! Everything is fresh & made to order. Best chiliqules I have ever had. Salsa is soooo good they should sell it. Kids loved the waffles, pancakes & French toast. Owners are super friendly too! 5 stars ! read more

The one reason I decided to try this place for breakfast is because of the name; I expected a selection of amazing coffee; there was only maybe 3 I got regular coffee thinking maybe they have a selection of creamer nope! Overall the food was great, and great customer service. read more

Stopped into this quaint breakfast spot before doing errands and wow! I am impressed with the service and food. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day so I tend to be really critical of anyone serving it. I had the veggie eggs benedict and it was delicious! Food tastes fresh and not overly salted at all! The hashbrowns were crispy and delicious! This place is a hidden gem for sure! The pics are off my Benedict and my husbands eggs mexicana. read more

Fresh delicious food. They seem to really take pride in serving you a wonderful meal. The service is friendly and efficient.

The food was decent, what really threw me off were the potatoes. Please label that there's ham in the side potatoes. It's not something we like, and I can't imagine how people with plant based diets would feel if they choose potatoes with added ham. Just be more clear about the ingredients on the menu. read more

Really good food! We were looking for a good place for breakfast on Sunday morning and came across this place. The was a large crowd of people waiting to be seated ahead of us and we were still seated really fast. Very nice and cheerful inside, very clean too. The staff was very friendly and nice. We were served rather fast. The food was delicious, I ordered the chorizo and eggs with black beans and hash browns. It's was delicious. Unfortunately it didn't come with tortillas or toast but you can order it separately. We really liked it and will be back for sure! Highly recommend it! read more

Good food, varied menu--Great for Breakfast OR Lunch. Everyone should fine something that strikes their fancy on the surprisingly thorough menu--a lot of choices for a small restaurant. The restaurant is somewhat small and busy at times, so be prepared to wait a few minutes. Service was a tiny bit spotty the morning we visited, but every table was filled, so it is understandable. The prices were a bit high, but I don't mind paying more for quality food. All of the menu items are home-made, made on-site. read more

Teeny tiny newish place but a real gem of a find. I met with a gal pal this week and we decided last minute to find coffee and breakfast. We happened to be driving by and had never seen this place before. Glad we felt whimsy and adventurous that morning because we had the best avocado toast with eggs ever! Coffee was just right too. Service was also fantastic. Hope to see this establishment grow. It's pristine inside and the bathrooms were super clean as well. I'd like to try more on the menu as my food was made to order and all the ingredients were so fresh! Wish them lots of luck in their restaurant endeavors. read more

Ordered delivery from here so you can say I didn't get the full experience. Nonetheless, the food came on time which was great and the driver was pleasant. Overall, the food wasn't bad but I had better. My boyfriend had the Chicken Machaca which was pretty decent and not a bad dish. I had their veggie omelette and it was ok. There was no cheese in it which it needed badly, so I had to sprinkle some of my own in there. The fruit on the side was not super fresh either but it was still edible. If we ordered from here again I would probably get something totally different. read more

I like this place. Even though the Chai tea was weak, but I added cream and it was ok. French toast made with care and love but slightly bland. Encinitas Cafe French toast is better. This place has nice atmosphere with great music, just loud enough to not be able to talk over, but its fun. Go alone, a couple or a group, plenty of casual pub tables and regular tables. Lots of food to chose from. Next to a boxing gym. read more

My omelette was very oily, which isn't what you necessarily want. I can see they were going for a very trendy place but the food was subpar, and I feel like I've been to cheaper less trendy breakfast spots with better food. read more

The chilakiles were great 10/10 recommended. It brings a new twist to the classic recipe with the ham and steak combination, not to mention the salsa verde will make your tastebuds tingle (in a good way). The side fruit cup refreshingly balances out the whole dish. read more

Could've made better food at home. Ate half the meal since I was so hungry but couldn't finish it since it was so bland( I always finish). Had high hopes for this place but was let down big time. Just go to iHop. read more

Yum! I wish I could make my eggs like the Mexican Eggs. Sooooo delicious! The service is also outstanding.
