Captain's Grounds Coffee — Restaurant in Oceanside

Local Favorite Coffee Joint. We come here often to get coffee it is very delicious.

Favorites: Mexican Mocha 24 oz extra sweet w/light ice. Nice and bold flavor enhanced with the authentic taste of Mexican chocolate. The residual pieces at the bottom and chocolate border coated makes it all perfect.

Bagels with butter toasted delish and soft.

Great place to get your coffee. I'd say the coffee is like Medium/Medium light roast.

During the weekend expect a line, and waiting for the coffee can take a little, but we don't mind the wait. Plenty of outdoor seating and some indoor seating within the vintage secondhand store. Nice to look at things while you wait. Not to be confused with the other coffee shop next to it.

Yes, they do have pup cups :D and Loyalty cards for the frequent customers.

Parking can be a drag on weekends as well, with availability in the street and a small parking section next to the building if your lucky.

Always had good service and to the point. They know us by now and...

Stopped by this morning (Sunday in October) at 830am for a cup of coffee before walking at the beach.

Never been here before, wanted to try something new. Ordered a Mexican mocha to go.

3 stars cause it was all OK. Not horrible, but not great. Customer service was very transactional, it wasn't super warm, welcoming or great service. From ordering to receiving the 1 coffee order, 35 minute wait time.

Atmosphere was OK, it's just a walk up coffee counter off the street.

Drink was OK also. Coffee tasted burnt. I love dark chocolate, I've had many variations of what different stores consider a Mexican mocha, as well. As a Mexican American I like to usually try it out at different places, and this one was more on the lower end of the kinds I've had. Coffee just tasted burnt and the chocolate sediment at the bottom of the cup settled awkwardly so the cup wasn't a consistent flavor while drinking.

I'll try again next time, maybe. Overall it was OK, not great,...

I had the most amazing experience at Captain Grounds Coffee in Oceanside! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the warmest and most welcoming staff. Carson, who was at the cashier, was so friendly and gave me the best vibes with her sweet smile. We had a fun conversation about piercing shops, and she really made my day! Rocco was equally kind and engaging, creating such a positive, friendly atmosphere. The energy in this place is incredible—it’s so inviting and laid-back, and you can feel the love in every corner. Jen and Ted, the managers, really have something special here, and I wish I had been able to tell them in person. The girls at the café were wonderful and made the whole experience even better. My girlfriend and I had such a great time, and I will absolutely be coming back. I can’t recommend this place highly enough—thank you for making our visit...
