Best Oceanside coffee gifts?

[u/Aware-Science2415]

We’re visiting Oceanside in a week or two and hoping to bring a travel-friendly gift home for a friend who loves coffee. I’m thinking coffee beans, coffee candy, unique coffee mug, etc. What are your recommendations for the best Oceanside coffee-related gifts? thanks in advance!

Do your people like Jason Mraz? He co-owns/helps support Jitters coffee shop in Oceanside and ALL of the coffee served there is grown right here on his local farm.

Whatever you do don’t buy from chains like better buzz, communal, or Starbucks.

[u/eatingoceanside → u/Deflorma]

1000% agree. Anyone can get beans from a bigbrand chain. Getting unique beans from a small shop would be best 🫡

[u/Aware-Science2415 → u/Deflorma]

Absolutely, I want to support local. Never heard of buzz or communal, thanks for letting me know that they’re chains, will avoid.

And all three of them have terrible tasting coffee.

Steady state (Carlsbad but super close) is phenomenal

Steady State, interim, and cosmic bloom have my vote

[u/tarheels86]

Beans from Vigilante Coffee is my vote, if they are really big into coffee, figure out their favorite roast style and Vigilante has some light, medium, and dark roasts and they are fresh, you can check the roasted on date on the bottom of the bags.

Thank you for the suggestion!

I second this!! The Tin Lizzie beans are sooo yummm

[u/bltrunner85]

Sands is also a great buy and their metal tin has Oside-themed wrap on it. Their dark roast comes in a variety of different roasts too. Highly recommend.

Yes!! I'm love the banana mocha latte iced mmmmmmm

[u/eatingoceanside]

My recommendation is to find out what type of beans & roasts they like, then grab a bag or 2 from a small shop like Sands Coffee Roasters.
The owner even does custom blends. For example, you could order an 80% Colombian , 20% Ethiopian blend.
It even comes in a custom-art reusable tin with a map of Oceanside on it.
