First time to try this place and it did not disappoint. Even with Covid19 they still managed great service and excellent food. They have 7-8 tables outside in a shaded area and they are consistently wiping down surfaces., cleaning menus , credit card machine, tables. They were on top of this. The eggs Benedict were prepared perfectly. We also had the breakfast burrito which was quite hearty. The staff is very friendly and this is a great local gem. read more

I Went for breakfast for the first time. First, please stop playing loud music. I am here to eat and talk to my fellow diners the music is loud and interferes with talking to each other. Secondly, closer your front door and put an OPEN sign on it. Flies were on our food and buzzing our heads cons. A real turn off!! I won't be back. read more

Only discovered this place because I had a bit of time to wait for food and wanted to try this new breakfast place near me. Ordered a Mexican omlet which had plenty of chorizo and was quite good. Not able to eat inside because of the quarintine but it was a good portion even if I thought the price was a little high. Coffee was good too. read more

We spent $50 on breakfast delivery and the food was awful. We threw it out after only a couple of bites. I'm not sure how hard it is for them to make pancakes, toast and omelettes but they should not be listed by Yelp as the #2 place for brunch in Oceanside. It shouldn't even be on the list! read more

The food here was so amazing don't let the area of the restaurant fool you! I would recommend this place to anyone that asks where to eat for breakfast, we got the avocado toast (super good and filling) and we loved it among other things! read more

I stopped here for brunch very hungry and ordered the country benedict, which says on the menu is topped with crispy bacon and comes with two sides. After opening my food in the car I notice there is no bacon at all, anywhere. I didn't want to be annoying so I wasn't going to say anything or go back in. After a few bites of average food, I find everyone's worst nightmare, a hair that looks like a pube just sitting in my food. Almost threw up in my mouth. So I go in and ask to speak to the manager, the server returns telling me "no you can't speak to him but he'll refund you or you can order something else." Then a minute later the manager walks out from the back and brushes past me saying "they're working on it". I got a refund obviously, but was disappointed in the food, service and the lack of reception of criticism. Should've gone to McDonald's, tasted about the same. read more

I had a french toast breakfast, it was delicious. The service was great, very friendly. I will definitely be returning.

Ordered the egg rancheros. Disappointed with size of breakfast for the price point. Came with 2 side options. The fruit cup was size of dipping sauce with few pieces of pineapple and grapes. Waitress was inattentive and didn't provide silverware or napkins. She had no interest in making sure we were having good experience. We had to ask bus boy to provide the essentials to eat our breakfast. Definitely won't be back, I would advise to skip on this place. read more

Been twice now, both meals were so good. Vegi omelette is probably my favorite ! Servers are awesome, really nice vibe!

We have been here a couple of times, have always enjoyed the food, a nice clean place, very quite and have never been disappointed in the plate when it arrives. Personnel are very customer attentive. read more

The food was amazing. The service was great until it was as time to pay they did not honor the Yelp coupons and gave a hard time about splitting the bills. After we came because of Yelp. I honestly don't know if we will come back. Food was good but the bait and switch left a bad taste. We are here for a soccer tournament for 6 days easy to say they lost a good amount of business as this is right by the hotel and fields read more

Wish I could give them zero stars. Each plate was covered in oil. I called asked for a refund and they refused to refund me. Don't waste ur time trying this place they don't care about their customers or the quality of their food. read more

5 of us came for breakfast and each of us ordered something different and they were all delicious. They also have the BEST coffee. If you don't want something to eat just come for the coffee, worth It! read more

Good food and service. Will return. Wife loved the huevos rancheros. Highly recommend!

I would give this place 4.5/5 if I could. They got very busy after we were seated, so breakfast on a Saturday morning took longer than we wanted, but it was fine. I ordered the Fab spicy melt, which wasn't too spicy, a bit oily, but delicious and a generous serving size. My husband enjoyed his salmon eggs bennie, and my son made his own omelet. Plenty of good coffee being offered, too. There were many sweet options on the menu, so maybe that will be next time. The place itself is pleasant, spacious and has decent natural light. There is also outdoor seating, but I did not see cafe heaters for those crisp mornings. Overall a good spot to pop in for a solid breakfast/brunch. read more

I came here last Sunday to try this place for the 1st time. We were told the wait would be about 25-30min but it was actually an hour. Our waitress seemed decent and things were ok things but went downhill quickly. We were seated outside close by a larger party. I'm confused why they were yelling and playing games why they were yelling like they were at a bar during breakfast. Back to the waitress- She said they can make any scramble from an omelette. So I got that with pancakes asking for extra butter/Syrup. This girl comes back with the omelette and says "oops they made a mistake" and continued to give me the omelette I didn't ask for. I asked her nicely to please correct my order because I didn't want it. We had to ask for butter and syrup several times from our server. It was such a nightmare she had an attitude because she messed up. She never came back and checked on us, she spoke to and checked on every table around us. Worst customer service. Don't get me started on the home fries that weren't cooked. I don't even know how they had the nerve to send out potatoes that aren't even cooked. Food was so nasty. When I got up to find the waitress to get out check she said "my manager took care of it have a nice day" with an attitude. We'll never go back and never recommend to anyone. read more

We were waiting for almost 10 minutes to be seated no one acknowledged us nor made an attempt to even talk to us about wait time. We have been here before and it is always the same story, terrible service. read more

Delicious doesn't even adequately describe the food. We had the seafood omelet and chicken machaca. Both were well portioned and well seasoned. Definitely recommend a trip to this spot. Customer service was excellent! read more

Sadly, we were excited to try this restaurant as we love going out to breakfast, but the experience was beyond awful. We got the last available table but it took over 15 minutes for anyone to take our order and that was after asking for some help. After 40 minutes with no food we left. It's a very small restaurant and apparently only two people working the front. There are maybe only 10 tables inside and 3 outside and we were the last to occupy a seat. So bizarre. Will never go back again. In all my years I've never gone to a restaurant and had virtually no service!! A total waste of time. (I only posted one star because Yelp wouldn't let me post off I didn't hit at least one. It's actually 0 stars) read more

This is my new go-to breakfast/brunch/lunch destination and I can't say enough good things about it (almost hate to because I'd like the keep this little gem all to myself but, hey, they really deserve the kudos). I LOVE going out for a really good, fresh, well cooked breakfast and this place delivers in spades. The menu has some imagination and class, the ingredients are top notch, and beautifully cooked. Seriously, I had the best vegetable omelette that I have ever eaten here - I didn't know vegetables could taste like that. The fruit bowl? Full of ripe mango slices, sweet blackberries and blueberries. The selection changes with the season, I'm sure, but still...they're choosing to serve the good stuff. The cherry on top is the staff. They are on the top of their game and make eating there a real delight. read more

The Breakfast Mug - Wonderful avocado toast with sunny-up eggs. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oceanside, California

Very cold environment and no welcoming feeling. Breakfast potatoes weren't cooked and barely had spent any time in a pan. Server never came to check if everything ok. When I did ask for water because the Mexican Eggs were beyond spicy (which I let her know) no show of concern or wanting to make me, the customer, satisfied. And I am normally a very low maintenance customer having been a server myself many years ago. Never offered a refill on my coffee. Overall experience: very disappointed. I won't go back. read more

First time eating here we both ordered breakfast, service was excellent, food was fresh so overall great experience

We happened to find this gem of a restaurant. First off we're sat down quickly. Our server was on her game big time! Very welcoming, efficient and professional. Got our drinks, etc really quickly. Got our order in; answered our questions and made things happen. Received our food. At first I thought the amount of hash browns were a bit small in portion, but in actuality, it was perfect! I had asked for extra sautéing of my veggies-- and the cook did exactly as I requested! Really happy! Tasty and satisfying! We also noticed as people came and went how fluid our server was at cleaning the tables thoroughly getting things in order and still taking care of all her customers! She truly is a gem of an employee. We think the owner also was very involved in making sure all was taken good care. There is good outdoor seating which we enjoyed. We will be back and enjoy this establishment again. I love it when a small business really tries and is motivated to create an excellent experience. Well done team!! read more

I've been wanting to try this spot for a while, then COVID hit. Finally made my way there for breakfast on a Sunday morning. They had seating outside, and it was nice and shady. I got the biscuits & gravy, it was DELICIOUS!!! A good sized portion. The waiter was very nice, and attentive. They had hand sanitizer and the staff was wearing masks. It was very clean, and definitely worth the price. Thank you! Oh yeah, the hashbrowns were delicious!! read more

Sat down. Opened napkin wrapped utensils. Big food stain. I mean. Come on people. When I saw the big food stain in my napkin around the utensils, I was supposed to use. I almost got up and left but I figured OK stuff happens let's see. Way way way overpriced for what you get. I was expecting at least a portion for the amount I paid. I'm a full grown man. I'm not a seven year old child that wants children's portions. The food was good. It was very good quality just very very small. my son ordered the chicken and waffles. It was just one large, Belgian waffle, broken into four pieces, and then one very thin chicken fillet cutlet deep-over deep-fried burnt a little. I mean one of the five I'm gonna give this a one or two , just based on their pricing .... you can get the same quality food at Denny's for almost half the price. And they had way too many older men. Waiters, I mean I don't care it just seem kind of odd way over staffed. read more
