The Beach Break Cafe, family-owned and operated since 1988 by Gary and Zell Dwelley, has become an essential part of the Oceanside community.  They recently celebrated their 35^th Anniversary!

This surf-inspired diner serves American fare with a California twist.  People taking a break from the beach or wanting a pre-ocean meal flock here for their cinnamon-laced coffee cake drizzled with frosting and the giant inventive four-egg omelets and scrambles.  The Banana Crunch French Toast is a favorite, dipped in honey bunches of oats for the crunch and then topped with bananas and a healthy dose of whipped cream.

While dining, you can check out the colorful surfboards, the surfboard-inspired ceiling fans, and surf photos that decorate this breakfast-and-lunch-only spot.  The weekend wait can be long, but the Dwelleys set up an honor-system coffee station.

Beach Break is located at 1802 South Coast Hwy. in South Oceanside.
