"GREAT FOOD!"   My Rating
1 oohhkay	Posted on: Wednesday, November 04, 2009
	Review: My husband and I have been coming here for about 5 years now consistently. The food is always great! The service can be slow, but its worth it. People that work there are nice. You can order from the sushi place across the patio. Good selection for your non veg friends. Great atmosphere. Spicy Chili tofu wrap, avocado burrito and spicy tofu tacos are the bomb! You seat yourself. Lots of healthy options so you don't walk away feeling like a fat ass.   Pros: lots of veggie options * great ambiance * friendly staff Cons: slow service * limited seating *

"Bad service outweighs it all!"   My Rating
3 JesiDi	Posted on: Wednesday, July 08, 2009
	Review: I've been here many times and always had the most horrible experience because of the service. I tried to even just get to-go orders but the staff always seem to either forget something or give us the wrong order, which in return I always seem to spend more time here than I desired. First time I was there (besides taking forever to get anyone to help us) I ordered the Fruit bowl that had oats and supposed to be soy milk because it is marked vegan (which I asked for it that way) it came out with yogurt and then the second time with neither! Another time I was there we ordered from the fish joint menu (vegan choices), which I found out a separate time it's much better service and vibe in there and you can just order from either place. I had the portobello stir fry, which was great but would've been better with brown rice instead of white rice and without the wasabi oil they generously added. Also had the vegan power bowl, not that great.   Pros: Great food * Cool antique house * Can also order from fishjoint Cons: Worst service * specify if you want vegan!!! * Extra check your orders!

"Has Veg"   My Rating
296 Chia	Posted on: Friday, July 03, 2009
	Review: Was here in July 09. I'm pleased to review this place on HappyCow.net. It appeared to be a local hang out coffee and food place. The cafe restaurant is a converted house with a wrap-around patio enclosed by glass windows where customers sit (or in the back outdoor deck). The food menu is American and Mexican food, such as breakfast omelettes and scrambles, sandwiches, quesadillas, burritos, etc... While there are many meat offerings, there are also plenty of vegetarian and vegan food listed and marked in green. And they serve organic coffee! There is a parking lot to the right facing side of the restaurant, but we found street parking just in front. Overall, this is a decent place for vegetarians and vegans to get a bite - since there are no pure veg places (as of this writing) in Oceanside.   Pros: friendly vibes * casual * veg friendly Cons: a bit grungy * *

"Good food and friendly service!"   My Rating

	Review: I recently visited Oceanside and the Hill Street Cafe was most enjoyable. I fact, I ate almost every meal there. The food is fresh, tasty and fairly priced for a beach/tourist town. The produce is excellent and for a small eatery, they have a wide range of options on the menu. If you need a dish prepared a certain way, just ask. Be sure to eat at the Hill Street Cafe and Coffee House when you're in Oceanside. You'll like it!   Pros: Fresh Food * Staff * Prices Cons: Small * Few Desserts *

"Slow but tasty"   My Rating
4 vegheadhon na	Posted on: Saturday, February 28, 2009
	Review: Service here tends to be slow but has mostly been worth the wait. The falafel plate is awesome. I also had a pasta dish that was pretty good, and they do tofu well. But I wished the noodles were whole grain instead of white and I wished the same for the toast. Purty salads.   Pros: * * Cons: * *

"mismarked menu"   My Rating
7 sloweducat ion	Posted on: Sunday, August 24, 2008
	Review: i suppose the food here is alright, if undistinguished, but they had one variety of waffle marked vegan on the menu when it wasn't. my friends ordered it and were not told that the item in question actually contained eggs. when i went, i asked, because they offered many better sounding types of waffles and i wanted to know if they too could be prepared vegan. the server informed me that this was in fact a misprint. this was a while back, so i don't know if it is still the case. it's worth going some place else to get food you can trust, or at least make sure to ask even if an item is marked as vegan on the menu. i am not giving this restaurant a low rating because i know that it was most likely an honest mistake and would like to encourage any restaurant that offers substantial vegan options, but i want to warn people to watch out.   Pros: * * Cons: * *

"great food if you arent in a hurry; or call to go"   My Rating

	Review: Hill Street is a great place for a dinner party. They have an outside patio area that is off to the side and perfect for a 15-30 person party. It is great for a mixed crowd of vegan and meat eaters alike. There homemade vegan apple pie is to die for. We usually by a whole one (order ahead) and invite people back for dessert along with some soy vanilla icecream. If you have a thing for cheesecake their vegan cheesecake is also very impressive. For an entree try there chili tofu. Yummy   Pros: yummy * vegan friendly * great dessert Cons: can be slow * *
