    Nice airy cafe with really nice family vibes. Lots of babies, dogs and people working. They have plenty of seating space. The workers were kind Creamy earthy matcha, not mind blowing in flavor, this matcha definitely needs a sweetener because the matcha alone wasn't crazy amazing like I've had before. The avocado toast was good, the bread was the vocal point for me. I could of done without the microgreens but that's okay.

    My search for work-friendly cafes continues and Vigilante is perfect! Not only is there ample seating, free available parking and long hours but they also have WiFi and outlets! One thing to note is the WiFi is only available during the work week, not the weekends. The coffee had a good flavor and they did not miss with the classic vanilla latte. I tried their blueberry lemon scone and was told it was a customer favorite but I did not enjoy it. It was dry and cake-like. Not moist/fluffy enough (was more like bread). My friend tried their avocado toast and felt it was pretty filling. Overall, great work space!

    Great coffee shop located right off the 101 in south O. This place is pretty huge and has a ton of seating options indoors with a couple outdoor tables. They have excellent options for both coffee and pastries but what stand out the most for me is their beans! This place roasts exceptionally, take a bag of "tin lizzie" home and thank me later..,

    Vigilante is quickly becoming one of my favorite coffee spots in San Diego. It's located in South Oceanside, just about 10 minutes from the pier, and the space itself is big, bright, and airy with plenty of seating including outdoor options. It's the perfect place to hang out or get some work done. Most importantly, their lattes and service are amazing. My go-to orders are an iced latte with iced vanilla latte and a salted caramel latte with breve, and both were excellent.

    Order the spring lavender vanilla latte

    Convenient coffee shot not far off the highway if you're in need of a pick me up while sitting in that awful traffic. The amount of time it took to get the coffee was surprising considering no one was there to order in front of me, but I was able to walk around and check out some of the things they have for sale and cute wall art.

    Dog friendly treat $2.50 yogurt, honey, peanut butter, and blueberries

    Great warehouse open door atmosphere vibe, chill, dog friendly, lots of places to sit and work, lots of plugs available for charging, they have matcha, coffee, acai bowls, and cafe food! They even sell dog pup cups for $2.50 with yogurt, peanut butter, blue berry and honey. Loved working here. WiFi is great on weekdays but it might be shut off on weekends to encourage people to socialize instead of working. Overall good vibes, great ocean breeze.

    Dirty Chai

    They made me a delicious dirty chai, which was not on the menu. It was just perfect. The vibe is great with cute decor big Aries space and a nice ocean breeze. I will be back!

    Vanilla Latte
    Alexandria W.

    This place was so nice and I'm very happy to have found it. The coffee was really good and I'm so happy with the avocado toast that I ordered. The bread was good and the seasoning was delicious. The coffee was good in a way where you can tell the beans were roasted nicely. Th staff were super friendly and I liked their water station they had. It's a very spacious area with a lot of seating and outlets available for charging. They do only have Free WiFi Monday- Friday though which was weird but this is a place worth visiting.

    Iced Vanilla Latte
    Deepti A.

    10/10 the best vanilla oat milk latte I have had in SD! Just the right amount of sweetness. The baristas are super friendly and speedy service for busy weekend. Plenty of parking in the parking lot.

    Very spacious, lots of plants, good music
    Stephanie S.

    I've only been here once but I love it! Everything's is very affordable, there's one size on all drinks. Simple menu, the service is great. And they have dog treats for your pups when you bring them! They sell nice merch also. I ordered a matcha latte with peppermint in it and it was so yummy, I love my drink! What a great suggestion from the guy up front. I also love their home made pop tart.thanks vigilante coffee!

    Large Vanilla Latte
    Alana F.

    Vigilante is my new go-to coffee spot in North County! This place is packed every time I go, but the line moves quick. Getting your drink can take some time but it's soooo worth it. Lots of seating inside and outside, though, I usually opt for outside since the weather is always gorgeous. Do yourself a favor and get a large latte, it comes with 4 shots which makes it beyond worth the price -- which isn't unreasonable for craft coffee in Oceanside. Will always recommend this spot to people looking for a good coffee place!

    Vanilla latte!

    It is VERY RARE that I write a review while at the business that I am writing the review about. But this coffee shop deserves all the rave. The ambiance is super cool and chill. Located super close to the ocean, it has the benefit of having its own parking which is a SUPER +++ The nice tall barista helped to figure out what is good to order. He suggested the vanilla latte (half sweet) which really hit the spot. They know their stuff for sure. Some places the baristas don't even want to say hello, letalone help you to choose what drink to get. I always like to see what they recommend and what their specialty is. Their ceramic mugs are HUGE and they fill it up! I HATE when some coffee shops don't offer ceramic cups. Some of them don't even have large size drink cups which is super LAME! Not this place! If you are ever in the area or heading to SD, this is a great charging station! Triple bookmark it!

    Vigilante Coffee is a must stop. I went yesterday and ordered the GOAT bagel and a flat white, and both were absolutely delicious. The bagel was perfectly done and the flat white was rich and bold. The coffee is strong in the best way, which I really appreciate. Great spot for high quality coffee and a solid bite. I will definitely be back.

My latte was garbage, it tasted like a glass of milk no joke. No flavor, at all. If I wanted a glass of milk for $8 I would've gone to the store and bought a gallon and poured it over ice. Literally just tasted like milk and nothing else. See below how pale and ass my latte looks for $8!!! DO NOT COME HERE YOUR LATTE WILL LITERALLY JUST TASTE LIKE MILK. I watched the barista pour soooo much milk into my drink. And no, I didn't ask for extra milk. The cashier rung it up that way for no reason. Ridiculous mistake, if I ask for light ice why would that mean I want extra milk that makes it a 12oz glass of milk??? Yikes

I smiled and commented on the donuts and that broke their gossipy reverie. One immediately walked away like she couldn't be bothered to work, only a paid gossiper. There was no one in the store other than me. She rung me up with a flat attitude like she just got out of jail and was miserable. Her name is Bre. I ordered a dirty chai. With two other items. She wouldn't give a to go box like they usually do. It came off super cheap. She told me to just cover it with a lid even tho I told her I had a dog in the car that would eat it and it was chocolate sprinkle. Traditionally they stop and make the coffee and then move on to the next guest. She was in a really bad mood so she kept taking donut orders until about 5 guests deep. Then she got 2 other coffee orders so she stopped to make coffee. About 10 to 15 minutes after I paid for my other order she makes my dirty chai. A kid and a mom are right by the counter. The kid grabs my drink and spills it on the counter and on the floor. She sees this. It's right in front of her. She says oh no that's not yours. Then she wipes it off and tries to pass it off to me like I didn't see. I said no, you're not going to re make it? She goes no, it's not my fault he spilled it. I was like I want a refund. She goes why. I'm like the drink spilled and you didn't even offer or try to remake it. This place had really gone downhill. Service is awful. The donuts look nice but they've been sitting out and are stale. The same with crossaint I had. I would not go back here anymore. Awful experience. Drove out of my way to come here today. It's a shame. This place used to be really friendly and fresh and top of the line customer service, Management needs to rework things before they completely go downhill but it seems they are already there.

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.

The cold foam was also not thick, more of a watery base and didn't take that great.
