Best Brunch Restaurants in Oceanside

Oceanside is a picturesque beach town in North County San Diego known for it's gorgeous beaches, historic wooden pier, quaint New England-style harbor, and charming bungalow neighborhoods. It has a thriving brunch scene, making it a Sunday morning essential destination for locals and visitors alike!

 

Beach Break Cafe

People taking a break from the beach or those who want a pre-ocean meal flock here for the moist, cinnamon-laced coffee cake drizzled with frosting and the giant and inventive four-egg omelets and scrambles. While dining they can check out the colorful surfboards, surfboard-inspired ceiling fan and surf photos that decorate this breakfast-and-lunch-only spot. The Banana Crunch French Toast is a favorite, dipped in honey bunches of oats for the crunch and then topped with bananas and a healthy dose of whipped cream. The wait can be long on weekends, so get there early!
