      Do they serve, gluten-free pancakes, gluten-free French toast, or gluten-free waffles?

      A:

      I've never seen anything on the menu or the specials board for gluten free option for waffles, French toast or Pancakes. I'm sure there is something on their great menu that is gluten free and will satisfy your hunger! Enjoy!!

      Hi, can you tell me if they serve gluten-free pancakes, waffles or GF French toast?

      A:

      They have GF pancakes but I have had issues with cross contact and surly staff being very rude to me asking good handling questions. If you need to avoid cross contact I wouldn't recommend eating them. If it's just a diet choice and not celiac or an… more

      Visiting from Vegas, came in and tried this spot out since it was near our Airbnb.
      We had a group of about 20 since we were visiting for a soccer tournament for the weekend, and although we were a large group they were able to accommodate our large party fairly quickly.
      The restaurant itself felt had a very comfortable vibe, I could definitely see this being one of my frequent breakfast spots if I lived in Oceanside.
      The service was great, and the food was amazing.
      Anytime I go on any vacation, I have a habit of over ordering, which I did today, but I couldn't help myself my group came the day before and told me it was good spot with good food.
      Glad we came back on our last leg of the trip, I had the California scramble with coffee cake and house potatoes, not sure what everyone else ordered but I tried the biscuits and gravy someone else in my party had and they were delicious, they even give you side of pico and some homemade salsa, it gave a nice spice to all of my dishes.
      I will definitely be coming back whenever I visit Oceanside, the prices are reasonable as well!

      Surf's up at Beach Break Cafe! This cafe at the corner has its own private lot and serves up some delicious breakfast and brunch items all while patrons dine surrounded by surfing memorabilia. The surfing culture is strong here as you're engulfed by surf boards, magazines, posters and artwork. It's a beautiful space to dine.

      The service is also phenomenal. We were greeted from the time we entered and checked on throughout the service. Smiles are abundant here!

      The food was also prepared well and tasted delicious.

      Coffee cake - We made sure to order the infamous coffee cake and we were not disappointed. It was sweet, warmed, and moist - everything you'd want from a coffee cake. Great execution and presentation.

      Awesome omelette - As the name suggests, it is awesome! It's full of ingredients and with a side of hash browns, it's filling!

      Biscuits and gravy - moist fluffy biscuits always pair well with gravy. It's comfort food!

      Mickey Mouse pancake - it's cute and big for a three year old but light on the sugar makes it less of a guilty pleasure. The face is a bit sad due to the bareness and probably could use a side of fruit or something.

      Breakfast classics - eggs were cooked perfectly and we were fans of the bacon.

      Overall, Beach Break Cafe gives you that much needed break from the weekday hustle and sets you up for a nice relaxing day. Enjoy a coffee or juice with your meal to cap it off and if you're able to finish all that food, you'll be needing a nice nap on the beach, which is literally just across the street.

      I have drove by here many times on the weekend and saw lines of people waiting to get in. So when my neighbor invited me to go to breakfast and chose this place I was excited to try.
      We got in line and at the front door I could see in and thought it look like a barn ,well I was there for food.
      I ordered the corned beef hash and it was big time disappointing, it was like strings of beef mixed with potatoes .
      I asked the waitress about it and she said they cook it in house and that's the was they cooked it. Ok, well I ate the eggs and some of the potatoes but left most of it. I don't think they even know how it should be.
      Lesson learned.
      It amazes me how many people were in line. Broken Yoke is the best

      Parking is small. The wait time was maybe 20 minutes on a Thursday morning.
      The staff was super nice.
      The best part of breakfast was probably the coffee cake, so delicious!

      Great food. Great friends. Great service. That's their motto and they certainly live by it! The pancakes were fluffy and delicious, complimented by fresh and flavorful fruit. The chicken fried steak was, dare I say, perfectly done! The accompanying biscuits and gravy and potato pancake were absolutely outstanding. Good amount of seating but no reservations. Cool beach themed interior. Would definitely come again!

      The BBC restaurant has the best surfer vibe around! This casual beach atmosphere has the best service. The staff here makes sure you get what you came in for. This team works like a well oiled machine. You do not have to wait long for your order. I must tell you something. Please take notes. The BBC restaurant has a magnificent coffee cake! Serving dimension size is around . The height of the cake is about 2 to 2 1/2 inches tall. Id you're ever in the area. GET SOME!!!!

      30minute wait for Sunday brunch. We were seated at the outdoor patio to accommodate our dogs. We noticed a water bowl for another dog but weren't offered one for ours. However, our server greeted and served us promptly. We ordered the chicken fried steak with extra crispy hashbrowns and corned beef hash with a side of biscuits and gravy. Everything was cooked well, tasted delicious and homemade. Highly recommend.

      The food was not very good. The owner gave our plate to another table, took it from that table and gave it back to us. Absolutely disgusting. When we complained he gave an attitude like he didn't want to hear about the constructive criticism.

      I usually visit this place 1-2 times a year as the crowd/line is often far longer than I'm able to wait (a good sign of the quality of the menu you'll order from)

      My biggest compliments are towards the food and the atmosphere. The menu is not complicated, with items that have quirky names that pair well with what you're ordering. My favorite being the Danger! burger (it's hot hot hot ) which is almost always on my mind if I'm there for lunch.

      The downside for me generally gravitates towards the service. It's hit-or-miss on whether the service will be timely or delayed. While never trending towards outright bad, at its worst you'll be waiting far longer than you'd like for a coffee refill, which is where the only minus for me comes into play. This has been my experience more often than not, but it is not a deal breaker insomuch as it is just something I've come to accept. Maybe it's due to their popularity (hence the lines referenced earlier) but overall this is my only caveat with fully recommended them as a local must-go spot for breakfast or lunch.

      We're still in Oceanside over Presidents' weekend, and so decided to finally try this classic Oside breakfast joint. We anticipated this since I read previous reviews - but we did have to wait almost an hour after putting our name in at the front. Unfortunately they don't do text message notifications (my suggestion), so you do have to wait in person in order to hear our name being called. Ordered the eggs Benedict (only available on weekends) and chicken fried steak. Excellent chicken fried steak, and okay eggs benny. I suspect it's a canned hollandaise and not homemade. Overall, a pretty solid breakfast spot - if you don't mind the wait. Cute surf memorabilia decor/casual diner vibes.
