This was my first time visiting the strawberry shack. I have been wanting to try it since it was in Carlsbad and now that they have an Oceanside location I couldn't resist. I ended up getting the strawberry cheesecake, the worker added strawberries and whipped cream to the top. It was very rich and cream, I loved it. I went one a Saturday evening. There wasn't a line but there were people filling all of the indoor seating. It felt crowded to me and I took mine to go as there wasn't really anywhere for me to eat it in the shop. The menu was a bit confusing. I think the menu words needed to be slightly larger and not with a distracting background. I was a little confused about what was available. I stuck to what was in the cases as that was what I could see. I was browsing and the worker kept trying to sell me on the cannoli. He told me about is a few times and then brought it out of the case to show me. I'm not a fan of cannolis but maybe they are good here. This is a crowded area of town but there is street parking and a small parking lot across the street and next to the building. (I'm not sure if they are business specific so check the signs) I was able to get. Spot right out front as someone was leaving.

First & foremost: Happy the owner (Russ) has chosen O'side to open his second location, but this time with indoor seating. Now my husband and children have been to his Carlsbad location, but I had never tried anything from the strawberry shack up until our anniversary, which happens to fall on Valentines. As a low-key person who doesn't need all the frills, all I wanted to do was to try the strawberry shack but without our littles. I'd like to say we arrived at a perfect hour as we places our order, got the tour of all the decor, and a good sit-down conversation with Russ to include how his business came to be. No doubt we felt welcomed by an owner who truly loves what he does for a living. I'll definitely return for all things strawberry goodness and maybe some dole whip too!!

Wow. We purchased the chocolate strawberry cheesecake. It was so fresh. The strawberry sauce with sliced strawberries on top was incredible. Overall best cheesecake I have had in years.

Amazing dessert! Tried the strawberry shortcake, strawberry cheesecake, and chocolate dipped strawberries. Loved every bite! Service was great!

Came across the Strawberry Shack's second location just as they were opening for their second day of business! The owner was so friendly and welcoming we stepped right in. They offer a variety of strawberry desserts and a few non-strawberry options as well. We tried the strawberry and chocolate custard swirl, strawberry dole whip and pineapple dole whip, as well as dark chocolate covered orange peel, and chocolate covered strawberries. All were yummy! My daughter's favorite was the dole whip and mine was the big Belgian chocolate covered strawberry. They also have brownies with homemade strawberry buttercream frosting, strawberry cheesecake, strawberry key lime pie, strawberry tiramisu, and more. We wish them much success and will be back!
