Nautical Bean
A waterfront coffee house tucked into the Oceanside Harbor. Specialty beans, hand-crafted espresso, and the same crew that's been here for three decades.
In 1994, Captain John Alvarez walked the harbor with a friend and spotted a shuttered surf shop. Three months later, the Nautical Bean opened — a forty-foot counter ten feet from the water.
32 years on, the crew, the regulars, and the view haven't changed much.

Warm, prompt service, fantastic coffee, a beautiful view, and an easygoing, relaxed atmosphere.
I love the coffee here. The ladies that work here always treat us well, even when there are a lot of customers. The tables are always clean and the music is great and relaxing.
Located down in the harbor with amazing views — one of my favorite small coffee shops. The service is always polite and fast. The chocolate croissant heated is to die for and the iced lattes are unmatched.
Spent 4 days in Oceanside and went every morning for coffee and cottage cheese egg bites. Staff was friendly, and the view of the harbor and boats was a nice way to start your day.
Been to a lot of coffee places but this one was the best. Caffe latte and cinnamon roll was too good. The atmosphere was perfect.
What a great little coffee place — the selection of coffees and food items is pretty vast and the service is fairly quick. The perfect little sitting area that looks out over the harbor.

The view from the cafe. Priceless.
