Jitters Coffe Pub in Oceanside Serves Up Hot and Cold

In typical American fashion I drove south on Coast Highway (old 101) in Oceanside in search of a Starbucks. Why Starbucks? Because I figured there must be one nearby and I wanted a coffee... It's not that Starbucks makes the best coffee, the only good coffee, or even affordable coffee, but that it's safe and familiar. This morning, however, I was fortunate enough to spot "Jitters Coffee Pub" at the southeast corner of 510 N Coast and Surfrider Way before I came to any chain establishment. That's one of the best things about Oceanside, CA; it's full of jewels and gems that make it a real town.

Jitters is lovely inside. It really does feel like a little neighborhood pub, but serving breakfast (not just sugary treats), coffee, Chai, teas, bottled drinks, gelato, and a healthy dose of reality. Plenty of local newspapers, plenty of local people, and some really cool looking dreadlocks behind the counter. My chai latte was perfect and under $4. Perfect spot for breakfast or to linger over a coffee and the newspaper - close enough to walk from the beach and our vacation home too! - (760) 967-7886
