We enjoyed delicious burritos! Very fresh tasting, yummy salsa, and a lovely view of the beach.

Awesome place with great staff! One of the top Cafes in Oside no doubt. I used to get the Loco Moco after catching waves south of Oside Blvd beach breaks. It’s 2025 now and I just found an old menu from here circa 2015, wanted to add it here so we can reminisce on the “good old days” when a breakfast burrito was way 10 I’m sure even in 2025 their menu is on point and well worth the prices. Can’t wait to go back on my next SoCal visit.

Great gem of a local cafe. Adjacent to a parking lot and right across from a beach access. Walk up, order and enjoy. The kids pancake was delicious and perfectly made. Burritos and egg sandwiches. The red salsa had a smokey Tex Mex flavor, went perfect without being too spicy, just right.

We love this local spot. It's just 3 blocks from our home and we've been walking down to the beach to get our Bucc Cafe fix for all the years we've lived here. Why? It has all the great things we expect in a cafe.... fresh and delicious food with accommodations for special needs, super friendly staff, always greeting us with smiles, consistent hours - we can count on them being open during the hours posted (every day!) they support other local food purveyors, they feature local musicians when they have special events, they are completely community-minded. And last, but certainly not least, we can use our new REPEGS app there to not only save money every time, but also contribute, automatically to local causes we care about, without it costing us more. Highly recommended.

Really cool location by a park and a small beach. The breakfast burrito was exactly what you want it to be. Stuffed, grilled, with sauce options on the side. Lemonade was super fresh as well.

It is a very nice place to just sit by the ocean and drink a really good cup of coffee. It is only outdoor seating.
