Roseanna's Cafe

Best food in Oceanside. We ordered takeout—it was about a 35min wait to order, pay, and receive food. The food was incredible (note: spicy really means spicy on this menu). It’s also hard to beat the views for those dining in.

We enjoyed a wonderful evening last night at this amazing little gem. The service was friendly and attentive, the food was fresh and delicious and the view was amazing!
Everything we ordered was perfectly prepared. For our entrees we enjoyed the special of the night-crab cakes and their 'big salad" add bay shrimp. Our server was very accommodating when we ordered the oysters, usually an entree, as an appetizer minus the normal accompaniments. Their long list of homemade deserts all looked so tempting it was hard to decide, but the carrot cake turned out to be a great selection!

One of my favorite restaurants in Oceanside.

The baguette 🥖 and carrot cake was so good! Thank you!

Been all around the U.S. and this ought to be one of my favorites from here on out. Definitely a place to stop for if you are in the area or driving down the coast.

I am so bummed. We have been trying to get to Roseanne's for a couple of weeks. Every time we stopped by there was a handwritten note on the door that they are closed for some reason. So finally planned to have dinner there Sunday night, and guess what, another note on the door! This one said they were closed but would be open on Monday. So we changed plans to go on Monday. Just before leaving, we decided to call ahead and make sure everything was good. Guess what? It was 5:00 and their voicemail said they were closed but had been open from 11 to 4. By the way, they are never open for those hours. What a way to run a business, guess they have a captive audience and don't care.

What a lovely place! There were 7 of us and they accommodated us easily. Friendly service. The food is delicious especially dessert. Elegant presentation of the food. They used nasturtium for garnish from their own garden. One friend who had the fried oysters said they were best she’d ever had. And she’s from New Orleans. The salad greens were delicate. Everything was just yummy. We will be back

Been going out of our way to come here for years. The food is always very good, and there's a great view of the ocean from the dining room. I last had scallops with pears, cranberries, and penne in a gorgonzola cream sauce. Delicious. A wide selection of desserts, too.

Really good food here, an elevated dining experience with offerings you wouldn't expect at such a small venue. Wheelchair access may be difficult here. Prices are a little high but not too bad, and the quality is excellent. The desserts are one of the stars of the show here though. Also really nice views of the goonies cave.

Taken here by some locals. Service and food were outstanding! I had to have a second cup of clam chowder! Delicious! It was that good! Also loved the Cajun Fried Oyster Burger. The carrot cake was the best I’ve ever eaten.
