Quick and short: come here and try it out!This place was wonderful and the coffee here was great. The atmosphere of this coffee shop was very nice and laid back. The employees were very kind and helpful. I had the southwest panini and it was wonderful! I would highly recommend coming here and trying it out. I will be coming back here in the future multiple times for sure. Honestly a wonderful place and experience.

Great spot to relax, and have a good breakfast. This is one of the few cafes/restaurants that open early on a weekend. I always order the Thai tea, always consistent flavor and sweetness. Today I had the avocado toast, ingredients are fresh. This was the perfect breakfast combo. Prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend.

Wow, new favorite coffee shop in Oceanside!!! I came in for coffee and breakfast with my mom and husband. The owner, Roger, took our order. He was EXTREMELY kind and personable. (We’re your biggest fans, Roger!) We all LOVED our coffee (try their specialty drinks!!) and food. They offered a large variety of food, including gluten free options for the “build your own sandwich.” The atmosphere was cozy and family friendly; perfect for casual, meetings, or studying! We’ll be back (:

Dear Friends,I am looking for accountability buddies ASAP. I have my medical boards coming up....18 hours of pure FUN...on June 28 and July 2. Thing is, I need to pass them both so that I can fulfill my passion - to be a positive light for you in times of need.Truth is, I cant do it alone. Because it gets lonely sometimes. I am only human too. And I need your help to stay motivated and positive.I would love your company here at Brown Cup, your encouragement, and your positive energy to keep me afloat. 23 days. to. go. The countdown begins now.Hold my hand a little so that I may have the privilege to hold yours too, if that time should come. We are in this together.Much love,Lily

This is a great spot! I prefer my coffee unsweetened and the soy latte I ordered was lovely, but I think the true gems are in their flavored/sweetened drinks if youre into that. My Mom got a raspberry latte that tasted like a chocolate raspberry truffle in a cup -- super decadent! Theres also plenty of comfortable seating and its steps from the farmers market down the street on Thursday mornings. The barisa who helped us was very kind. Ill definitely be back!

Really great location for the shop, very fair prices and portion sizes, variety of drink options and food. Awesome quiet place to study or have a date. The couches are clean, bathroom is clean, management and staff are extremely respectful and courteous to their customers. Mixture of real plants and trumpet ceiling lights brings out a great vibe for dates. I would recommend over all surrounding shops and i will be a frequent guest here. My favorite drink is the Acai berry smoothie.

The Brown Cup Cafe & Lounge has been one our favorite go-to cafés in Oceanside for the past year. Ever since we discovered this quaint gem of a lounge, my fiancée and I tend to gravitate here almost every morning.Located right on the 101, Brown Cup is run by a very friendly and humble staff. You’re greeted as you enter and service is always attentive.Their menu may seem limited compared to other spots, but they specialize in their items and whether it’s a pastry or beverage, they put plenty of love & care into each.They’ve got CBD teas, gluten-free pastries, plenty of coffee and some cold drinks as well.The decor is very new-age, Indonesian-inspired and has plenty of space for the solo patron or small groups who just want to relax and socialize.From the couches up front, to the work benches in the back, there’s ample room to sit down and do work from your laptop in a quiet environment.It’s always clean inside and the atmosphere is very peaceful and I highly recommend coming here to do work.

Always a favorite spot of mine. The quality of the company is equal to the amazing drink youll get (and the very generously-sized sandwiches & bakery items). Oh, they also make THE MOST AMAZING avo toast. It has pesto on it!! So good.

Amazing vibes and atmosphere in this place! Roger, who i presume is the owner, made us feel very welcome from the moment we stepped in the door. He continued to address me by name during the whole duration of our stay. Officially my new favorite coffee spot in Oceanside! Highly recommend if youre looking for good vibes, a comfy couch to sit in and an attentive staff.

Genuinely good quality coffee if black Americanos (no cream/sugar) are your thing. The kind of coffee that doesnt develop a bitter/burnt/ashy taste when you let it chill for a couple hours.

ABSOLUTELY awesome. Great food, great atmosphere. The managers are so incredibly kind. We go here so often they call us by name, our kids too. And when I said I was gluten free, one of them started making gluten free desserts! I have the wrap or the turkey sandwich here which is gluten free and the raspberry mocha is really good. Highly recommend.

Went there to hear live jazz (The Soto Six). Also ordered a custom breakfast sandwich and their Lazy Raspberry Mocha. I think I wasnt quite in the mood for what I ordered, but it satisfied me. It was very reasonably priced. Im definitely going to go back when The Soto Six returns.

Really like the comfy couches, chairs, and atmosphere here. The house coffee, however, was expensive ($3 with tax), barely warm and tasted just ok. No half and half or other milk options were out for the coffee, had to wait to get someones attention and ask for it.

I am a big fan of this place. I just discovered it a few weeks back while I was getting a massage next door. They have some nice loose leaf herbal teas that were perfect while I waiting on my appointment. Since then I have been back many times. The owners are great people, the prices are good, and I think best of all, the seating is the most comfortable that I have found in ANY coffee shop. The place feels very high end. Thank you guys for creating this place for those of us who work online... My favorite place in town hands down. I just wish that you were open much later.
