Nostalgia and location is the only thing that keeps them open.
The little house was beautiful and I am so happy it was saved and remodeled.
The pies were a massive disappointment. All were gluten free, so the crust is squishy and gummy. The fillings didn't taste right at all. The lemon one was straight up gross. Better to eat a cold poptart and walk through the house if you want a treat.
This place has become a staple for me and my family when we’re in town. They offer a gluten free/cauliflower option which is amazing and the ingredients always taste fresh and feel like they’ve been make with care. The staff is friendly and the positive vibes are at an 11. The only negative I can give is there aren’t more locations near me. Love it while you’re there, miss it when you’re away. 😘
Gluten free friendly. Gluten free soy sauce and they do up a non marinated chicken for me and do Gluten free fried rice. Sushi is great and always taste good and fresh.
Love the texture of these croissant donuts-- more tooth than an ordinary donut but still delicate. I really liked the caramel topping. Staff was friendly and answered questions about the flavors and gluten free options.
The food was incredibly tasty. Every single bite was a delight. The wine couldn't have been better. The attentive service was very courteous and friendly. Pasta and pizza could be ordered gluten-free, which is a great relief if you have a gluten intolerance. An all-around perfect evening. Always happy to return whenever we come to Oceanside.
I went here for coffee and breakfast and wish I would have been able to visit every day of my trip. I ate on the patio and even tho it was kind of chilly out, the heaters made it very comfortable. I looked at a lot of nearby spots and this one stood out as mentioning gluten-free options on their website and also offering gluten-free pancakes. They were delicious, as were the eggs, and the bacon was a hefty serving and cooked to perfection. My hubs joined me late and had the avo edamame toast - it was soooo yummy! The fresh fruit bowl (we were hungry, lol) was a lovely surprise in that it actually had more berries than melon (like most places) and they were fresh. The lattes were amazing, and I loved the variety of flavors and that they had milk alternatives. I had the vanilla bean latte - it’s a pretty simple drink but I’ve found I can tell a lot about how a place does coffee based on their approach to the old standby of vanilla. This one was creamy, delicious, not bitter, not overly sweet, and came with a lovely design in the froth. The place was casual, comfortable, and had a really positive vibe. I’d go back in a heartbeat!
Hadn't been here in a while but sure glad we came back. Refreshing to see they have maintained the same top notch quality, service and welcoming atmosphere over the years. I'm not much of a salad guy but I think the Cranberry Apple salad was one of the best I've had. The roasted wings with the sticky orange garlic chili sauce did not disappoint, I'm still licking my fingers 🤌. And let's not forget about the coal fired pizza, the CLSICS with beef birria was amazing and also gluten free to accommodate my better half. Keep up the great grinds, doing Oside proud. 🤙
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Best Pizza & Brew lives up to its name and then some! Their Greek salad and house salad are both incredibly fresh and full of flavor total standouts. But the real surprise? The buffalo cauliflower wings crispy, spicy, and absolutely addictive. And don’t even get me started on their vegan, gluten-free, veggie yumminess pizza… it’s a flavor bomb in every bite. Five stars doesn’t do it justice more like five times five stars. Whether you’re plant-based or not, this place is a win. 👏🍕🌿🔥
Then please did an excellent job catering to our dietary and special needs. Thank you very much for your care we choose in and out because most of them are great for gluten free and you did not disappoint.
Absolutely delicious! Excellent food and service, I loved my eggs benny on gluten free bread. Nothing but good vibes from this family owned cafe. Great prices for the portion size. Paula was very welcoming. Will be back soon!
I'll start by saying...whatever grading system you use, 5/5 or 10/10, A++ or 100% - allmine is one of the best restaurants around! Whether with friends, family or people asking for North Country recommendations - we always make a point to send them to this restaurant. It's absolutely superb and will knock it out of the park each time.
Below are some of our favorites as a house of vegetarians but I will say - we take non-veggies here all the time and they absolutely rave.
- House Baked Bread w/ garlic oil and sofrito butter - listen.. you could split this between 4 people or you could treat yourself and just enjoy it to yourself. There are no wrong answers except not ordering this every time you come. And a hot tip? Order an extra to go and make sandwiches same day or next day - its divine.
- Brie Involtinis - like a cinnamon roll but savory with brie. Drizzle honey all over the top and I could eat 100 of these
- Bianca Pizza - I think about this pizza at least once a week. They have other, phenomenal pizzas but this is the one my husband and I always go back for. thinly slided potatoes, roasted garlic, ricotta, rosemary. And don't forget to put their homemade chili oils on it. They have two spicy levels and honestly I love them on top or for a little bit of crust dipping at the end
- Cannoli - Any of them. I'm a gluten for all things chocolate so the Chocolate S'Mores? I have dreams about that cannoli. But my husband also goes crazy for the citrus. Even if you haven't saved room... give this a try at least once!
The above are just our highlights but the pasta, starters and other pizzas are always fantastic. And not to be forgotten, the staff and atmosphere they create is amazing. Roxana is the owner and you can tell she's put her everything in to the restaurant and her staff is equally bought in and wonderful. So in conclusion, date night, special occasion, large party/small party or just because - definitely check out allmine again and again.
One of our favorite coffee places in North County. The vibe here is super chill and the service is always great. Also love that they have lots of gluten free and vegan treats! Try the pop tarts, they are amazing.
For us - with a 1 year old - this place is amazing. We can relax while our baby plays, the food is good, and there is basically every type of drink. Lots of gluten free options, too!
Ordered leek & potato soup. It tasted fishy and looked the color of a lobster bisque with fried leeks on top. I ordered a side of salmon and they gave me an entire dish instead. The salmon tasted fishy and the coleslaw that was included tasted old. I’m easy going and definitely not picky and actually felt pretty nauseated after eating.
My husband ordered a chicken salad gluten free and it came with the fried leeks.
Spent $50 for what ended up being a disappointing dinner unfortunately. The atmosphere seemed cool but I can’t say I would order from here again or make the effort to dine in.
I had a great experience here! The young lady working the line was a brand new employee that was surprisingly very helpful when I told her I have celiac disease and had to be careful with cross contamination. She was directed on the procedure to keep my food selections clean! I can tell she was nervous but she did awesome and I’m happily eating my lunch with no worries. Thanks Chipotle and the great new employee!
Came here last weekend specifically because the menu says everything can be made gluten free. The hostess confirmed this. Excited to try something new I tried a spicy noddle dish that is not traditionally gluten free, but ordered it gluten free. It was the most bland and tasteless thai food I've ever had. I told the waitress this, and she said that she always feels bad when people order gluten free because she knows it will be bland. I told her I would have appreciated knowing that before I ordered, because I would have gone with something like pad thai or curry that is naturally gf but still very flavorful. They gave me soy sauce, limes, and peanut sauce to attempt to add flavor to it. I believe that they didn't give me gluten free soy sauce, or the peanut sauce wasn't gf as stated, because I had a terrible reaction to the food and was sick for four days. I haven't gotten sick from eating out in a long time, it wasn't a good experience.
It is better to not offer gf options, than to offer something gf that you know will be bad.
Very disappointed overall. The ambiance is great, but the service was so slow, the waiter seemed rushed and our daughter has celiac and he didn't appear to understand what gluten free meant or offer any accommodations for her. My clam chowder was bland, tased like something from a can and the crab cakes were equally disappointing. I eat better seafood in Denver :-(. Worst yet, I got food poisoning and hours after eating was violently ill and it ruined a day of our vacation, because I was up all night sick. Such a bummer - I am not one to write reviews, but I was super disappointed in this experience.
Our family had everything from pasta to gluten free pizza and it was all great. The service was very friendly...outstanding in fact. Highly recommend it.
Amazing dishes bursting with flavor. They also have gluten free noodles for the ramen & they’re so similar to the real deal! You can tell expertise and love is put into each dish. Delicious, thanks Chef!
Love this place. Quick, tasty and right across the street from the beach. They have great acai bowls and you can get gluten free oats in them. Bacon and eggs is always a good choice, get it in the bowl if you want to save a couple bucks and don’t need hash browns etc
Nice location and good coffee. In oceanside we don't have a shortage of gastro pubs, pizza and coffee. It seems there is a coffee joint every half block. In some cases there are coffee joints right next to coffee joints. Its tough to stand out. While Vigilante does not stant out it has a very nice space and a good small menu. They also have a couple of gluten free treats. There is a good bit of seating and they let dogs in. They have some outside seating but there was someone smoking there when I visited which was a bummer. Still I'd go to here over many local options.
Excellent chips and salsa to start. I got the burrito combo (beef) and my wife got the taquitos beef). The food was tasty, the refried beans we're excellent, and the guacamole was fantastic. The service was very friendly. My wife has to eat gluten free and had no issues. They had no concerns with our (well behaved) service dog. Totally recommended.
I came in to get a quick breakfast. Large menu but a nice menu in deed. Sandra was my waitress. She was friendly and I was surprised she had so many tables in her area. I order a fried egg, bacon, potatoes and a gluten free English muffin. I was looking forward in having breakfast. I never got my breakfast. After 35 minutes waiting for it I just didn’t have the time to eat. I don’t know if she forgot to put my order or if she was overwhelmed with the amount of tables she had. I told her I couldn’t wait any longer and that I had to leave. She apologize but her apology was not going to fix the experience I had at this place. The least she could have done was letting her customers know that the kitchen was backed up or that our food was on its way but no. No communication at all. Maybe she should stop checking on her phone less and check on her customers more often.
My wife and I were out in Ocean Side looking for a sit and a sandwich when Rye’s and Grind came up in our search. Even though their menu didn’t explicitly state that they had a gluten free option, we opted to give them a call. The staff informed us they could accommodate my dietary restrictions and would do their best to take extra precautions to prevent cross contamination on their cook top.
My wife ordered a pastrami sandwich while I opted for the Gluten Free Motley Loo. Both sandwiches were extremely well appointed with some of the tastiest pastrami I’ve had this side of the Mississippi.
The staff informed me that though the latkes were made without gluten, their fryers were a cross contamination risk, so their steak fries, tots, latkes, and rosemary home fries would be off limits for me. Thankfully, their coleslaw and potato salad were delightful and rich so I didn’t feel left out of the side order game.
My wife reported her latkes were top notch, and they came with all of the condiments you could possibly want including what tasted like homemade salsas.
On top of the top notch service and food, the coffee was hot, rich, and bold, which is what we needed on a surprisingly rainy day in Southern California.
Everything about my experience with Rye’s and Grind was above and beyond. I cannot commend the staff enough for the compassion, service, and attention the team gave us even at the end of their day.
If you’re thinking about going to Rye’s and Grind but can’t make a decision, just go. The team, food, venue, and coffee were all top notch.
The food is good. They have gluten free options which are much appreciated. The service hasn't always been amazing but we were once informed that they were short-staffed.
That day, the tables next to us had dirty plates piled on them the entire time we were seated. Having worked at restaurants, I can understand why they did not prioritize bussing the table but it was gross.
The servers are kind and attentive, even when they are busy.
Celebrated my birthday with a brunch here on the water! The outdoor atmosphere is incredible, service was great, and they had a wide variety of options including gluten free. I can’t wait to go back
I had high expectations for this restaurant...it came recommended from a local wine bar owner we figured knew the local food scene....plus it is in the same building our resort is at.
Well....I was a bit disappointed! For a restaurant located across the street from an ocean...the seafood options were somewhat limited....and limited "surf and turf" options!
I had the 8oz flatiron, Oscar style...(which was an option) and for the amount of the upcharge...I was expecting more.
The flatiron seemed to be a poor cut. Flavor was okay at best and it did not eat like prior flatiron steaks I have had including cuts prepared by myself! Temp was right....but just not a great steak considering price for an 8oz cut.
The rosemary sourdough rolls they delivered to us before dinner were amazing, and I did really like the Cesar salad! Perfectly dressed and great flavor!
They had many gluten free options and they were clearly marked! Just a note... Wednesdays are "wine night" so they had select half priced bottles. Not a "great" selection but we found a bottle we liked.
Our server was very friendly and did a great job. The atmosphere helped! It has a great "updated dark steak club" feel!
So there is a lot to like....but I was expecting perfection and it was not perfect.
The rest of the table did state their meals were"very good "!
No gluten-free meal options, but the smoothies were great. My daughter ordered a sunset fire pit Panini with roast beef and cheese, which she said was amazing. They only serve food from 9 to 2 just to be warned. Looks like there is new ownership or rebranding. Location cannot be beat! Right on the beach with a nice park and picnic style seating as well.
I have eaten here twice so far and I will definitely be back again! They have many gluten free options which is amazing but the gf biscuit and duck butter is something I will crave! Also make sure to get the dipping sauce flight for delicious elevated dips. The service is always quick and friendly and the atmosphere is fun and causal. Don’t forget to check out their patio.
I am so happy they are stretching to the great Northwest. I fly to San Diego often and take my best friend worker there afterwards. Price has gone up but the results are none less than perfect. I order the gluten-free protein 🍔🍟 vanilla 🥛 shake.
Best French toast! Great atmosphere! Staff is friendly and kitchen is fast! Also, they can do most items gluten-free. Gluten-free waffle, pancake, ect but some items will be cross contaminated.
Oceanside California is known for its cafés and it looks like we've got another gem in the rough now opened on S Coast Hwy.
High Tide Coffee Co is no opened to the community and they offer a nice variance to the coffee scene in the area.
High Tide Coffee Co is located within the RISING CO building complex just off of S Coast Hwy.
So make sure you look for that signage.
They've got a shared parking lot in the front and street parking available on both side streets.
This is good for now, but it MAY pose an issue during busy hours.
It's a good thing they are also on DoorDash and take pre-orders online & via call-in.
The entire vibe is for their branding is cute and inviting.
Their interior is very trendy-earthy and colorful.
But one shortcoming is that they have minimal seating options inside. There are only 3 tables.
Luckily, their exterior seating has more benches and group-seating options.
Their service is fast, friendly, warm and inviting.
I love their merchandising with the cute logos.
Their menu consists of staple classics like:
cold brew, espresso, americano, latté, macchiato, cortado, cappuccino, and mocha.
They also have specialty options like:
lavender honey, rose cardamom, snickerdoodle, candy orange mocha, chachaccino, matcha chaga, and moon milk.
They also have a few teas and hot cocoa.
For foods, they have some solid basics like:
breakfast burrito, acai bowls, avocado toast, assorted pastries and granola & chia parfait.
I especially appreciate that many of their pastries are vegan & gluten-free.
I enjoyed my seasonal special drink, the Espresso Paloma and it was a tasty variant to the typical coffee drink. I also enjoyed my snickerdoodle latté.
I'd like to make a small note to pet owners:
Although there's a notice that they DO NOT ALLOW PETS (only service animals) - this is not strictly enforced : thank goodness.
Overall, I like what High Tide Coffee Co is bringing to the area and they provide a nice variation to the 'average café' and they have personality.
This place doesn’t look nice from outside but was an amazing surprise.
Service, food and location is awesome.
Many gluten free options (healthy ones) and organic and tasty food.
