How many people have seen these 2 Oceanside Legends?

Better question, how many people have seen them both on the same day? 😜

Hopefully this mural brings a smile to your face.
Stay inspired.

*bonus points to who can name its location 😉

"Today is one of the hardest announcements we’ve ever had to make.

At the end of this month, our family-owned location of Nekter Juice Bar in Oceanside will be closing its doors.

Over the past several months, we’ve done everything we could to keep our store open. We explored every option but unfortunately, despite our best efforts, this is the decision that has to be made.

To every customer who stopped in for a smoothie, acai bowl, juice, or simply a friendly conversation—thank you. Your support has meant more to us than you’ll ever know. Watching families grow, seeing familiar faces every week, and being a part of this amazing Oceanside community has been an incredible privilege.

We are deeply grateful for every employee, every loyal guest, and everyone who chose to support our small business over the past few years. You helped make this more than just a juice bar—you made it a community.

We hope you’ll stop by before the end of the month so we can thank you in person one last time.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Oceanside.
We will never forget your kindness and support 🩵🍓🫐"

This was my first experience at Aaharn56 Thai Cuisine and I was thoroughly impressed with my dinner here.
I will definitely recommend it to others.

Aaharn56 Thai Cuisine is a very traditional Thai restaurant that has a wide variety traditional options on their menu and they even have a happy hour menu as well.
I was thoroughly impressed with the array of soups, noodles, curry, and seafood that they had available.

There's plenty of inside seating, and although the tables appeared close together, it's still felt private enough with the two sections of seating.

Service was exemplary, superfast and very friendly. I appreciate it our waitress explaining the orders in detail and being understanding of our heat tolerance in relation to the food we were ordering.

I started with the Tom Kha soup at level 4 heat.
It was flawless with the flavors & great in a cup.
We then had the prawn dumplings, and those were extremely flavorful, and I love the sauce that came with it.
I also enjoyed my yellow curry with vegetables at a level five heat, and even their naan was delicious.

Even with a glass of wine and a Thai tea, we ordered one more dish with Shrimp & Lotus and the bill came out to under $85.

If you are in the area, I recommend them especially if you can make the happy hour with a $5 menu and $5 drinks.

You may want to call in advance, because it gets crowded in the evening and parking can be a small hassle, as it shares the lot with nearby establishments in the plaza.

I rarely eat bagels, but if I do, it's typically for breakfast.

Kahlo Cafe has some delicious breakfast bagel options and one of my favorites is the chipotle mayo, creamy avocado, turkey, ham, crispy bacon, everything seasoning, all on a toasted open-face bagel.

I customized mine and I like that I can always interchange ingredients from the menu to be creative.

Kahlo Café is a small , Latina-owned business in Oceanside California .
