    Hidden gem in Oceanside. I came here for my mommy brunch date and was blown away by how adorable this place was! A hotel, restaurant and coffee shop. 5 star vibes!!

    For breakfast, we made a surprise stop to Oceanside. First time here for us both, and we were quite pleasantly surprised. The service was great, and the food's very good. It's definitely a place we would return to. The soothing background instrumental music of Daniel Stark seemed perfect whilst eating breakfast here. I had for the first time (outside of my normal eats) the Huevos Ranchero Tostado, my gf had the Loco Moco... both quite amazing. I brought my spice kit as usual, and Dean was quite impressed with the potpourri of eclectic spices i brought.. most of which, if not used wisely, could cause loss of taste and a bit of pain for a while. (I know as I am a slow learner....) On this date, I used my spices wisely as i enjoyed them to enhance the flavors of the food that were already greatly seasoned... I recommend stopping by for breakfast or brunch and enjoying the fine foods that are here.

    One of my favorite spots in Oceanside. The owner and employees are all great and take care of the place very well. I'm always coming back even though they have a small menu. They have Korean/ American style menu and they have a cool coffee shop as part of their operation. I don't drink but the quaint bar is a great stop if you want a drink but you don't want the bar feeling.

    We came here for breakfast and it was delicious! The chai latte was incredible and my husband really enjoyed the 24hr pour over. Highly recommend.
