1022 Cafe & Gelateria

If you are searching for an authentic European coffee experience in Oceanside, look no further than 1022 Cafe & Gelateria. This place is honestly in a league of its own when it comes to quality and attention to detail. You have to try the Pistachio gelato because it actually tastes like real nuts rather than artificial flavoring. The owners Connor and Erik are super passionate and will happily guide you through a tasting of their house-made flavors. I love that they take their coffee just as seriously as the dessert with options like anaerobic pour-overs and perfectly pulled ristretto shots. The vibe is sleek and uncluttered which makes it a great spot to relax with an affogato. It is easily some of the best gelato you will find outside of Italy.
