Cafe 101

Is located at the intersection of coast highway and wisconsin street. classic diner food with great burgers and shakes. make sure to have some of john's chocolate cake.

The Flying Bridge

Is one of oceanside's best kept secrets. this restaurant used to be one of the stops for people coming down from la who were heading to del mar or mexico. it was purchased by new owners recently who completely renovated the building without removing any of the character. located just north of the 76/coast highway interchange across from the oceanside "welcome sign". be sure to order the fried avocado. this restaurant specialty is a great appetizer.

Hill Street Cafe

Is located on coast highway and serves great-tasting, organic, healthy food. don't let this scare you because the food is incredible. everything is "homemade" and has great flavor. originally started as a coffee house in the early 90's, the menu has grown to include mexican specialties, "california-cusine", seafood, pastas, and whatever dan fixes today. make sure to try the rippin' fish soup.

The Longboarder Cafe

Is arguably the best place in oceanside for a true-california breakfast experience. it's four blocks from the pier, across coast highway from the california surf museum, and makes for a great place to start your morning in downtown "o".

A 1940s-style diner located on the end of the Oceanside Pier. You might have to wait a bit for a table, but the food is good and the atmosphere is nice. If you're lucky, you can get a seat by a window at sunset, and watch the sun go down over the ocean as you eat.
