Nautical Bean Coffee Co.

Stopped by for an iced vanilla latte triple shot and it was the best I’ve had in a long time! A little bit of a line on a Sunday morning but totally worth it.

One coworker yelled at the other right in front of us, so she was crying while she took our order. Then she continued yelling at her coworker and held up the line. They would not turn down the music upon request even though 10 people in our meeting bought coffee and spent over $ 60. The coffee was low quality. But it’s next to a nice ice cream shop and looks over the harbor! The coffee was VERY expensive as well. 5 $ for a small latte

If there was no stars this would get it. Coffee was lame and expensive. No sense of customer service and it shows. We had to cancel our order because the older woman working the front was just rude and did not deserve our business.

Great coffee & amazing views, but the place is certainly not bike friendly & owner is downright rude! After purchasing drinks, pastries & a coke, my friend and I couldn’t sit in their covered patio due to the ‘no bikes inside patio’ sign, but totally get it since it’s small and not a lot of room inside there for them. So we eat at the public concrete table outside, just west of the patio to enjoy our purchases. Since it is a busy Saturday with lots of pedestrians walking along the sidewalk, we carefully set our bicycles against the outside of the patio, out of all foot traffic (no signs stating this was not allowed) so we can have our bicycles next to us and in view. Almost done with our food, this guy comes out and yells «your touching my planters» and stares at us. Taken off guard, a little shocked and confused by what seems like a disturbed homeless man’s rant, we quickly move them to the sidewalk against the restrooms across from our table, which makes them partially block the public sidewalk. He just walked away without a thank you, a please or anything other than his passive aggressive one line rant and stare. After this incident, it became evident he was the owner & just an A$$. It seems clear this is NOT a bicycle friendly business & the owner clearly doesn’t want the business from people on bicycles. Pretty sad that there are bigoted angry people in customer service businesses. I do not plan to give him my $ again. I will take my business elsewhere!

The matcha acai smoothie is delicious, however the young lady working was making faces of disgust & talking loudly about how bad it smells & that she hates making them. Fine if you don’t like the smell, no need to throw a fit, make faces, and look inconvenienced. She made the older woman finish the stink, and she left for the day before my drink was finished. At least finish a drink before leaving for the day & don’t make someone else do your work. Good thing it was delicious, because her horrible faces and attitude made me apprehensive to even try it.

Friendly environment. Even better drinks! Good presentation… first time ever having chocolate whipped cream!

Good service. A bit over priced, but you’re paying for the location, which is nice. Has a nice outdoor seating area to look over marina or people watch. Also have a nice little variety of on-​the-​go snacks and food items.

Great little coffee shop next the harbor. We stopped in for drinks while we waited for a table at the restaurant. I ordered a chai tea latte and the BF ordered a regular coffee. They have a tented area for guests to sit and to enjoy your coffee and pastries. They offer baked goodies, yogurt parfaits and so much more.

The cashier gave me samples of the Kona and Jamaican blend. I recommend the Jamaican coffee and Café Mocha. Tried out the raspberry scone is it was satisfying – not too sweet.

My god the coffee here is expensive, we are talking $ 6.50 for my small blended mocha and $ 7 for my husbands caramel latte, insane!
His latte was great, my mocha horrible, the first one I sent back as it was loaded with cinnamon.
The second tasted like water with a hint of dirt, so I tossed it, waste of money.
Location and service was fantastic, as was the latte.
Overall not worth going back for, prices are just way too high for what you get.

Great location on the harbour for your morning cup of java. Cinnamon coffee cake was excellent.

Great little coffee place in the harbor. Nice staff and good coffee. Good selection of pastries and sandwiches as well.

A coffee shop that is more about location than anything else, but a local favorite. Fruit and cheese cups, grilled sandwiches on focaccia and a pastry selection that includes nutritious selections for athletes sets this place a step above your average coffee hole in the wall. Service is, well «European»? The baristas — when not chain smoking and texting — come with attitude. Lots of it. Ignore them and focus on the specialty natural drinks and handcrafted soda case and you’ll be fine. Fast service and you will pay a premium price for the harbor view to go with your Java. Sugar in the raw or stevia by request, behind the counter.

Insanely slow. These guys took over 45 minutes to make a breakfast panini with no one else around. Just toweringly stupid. At the 45 minute mark I got my money back and left. The cook was completely befuddled as was the counter person.
Maybe Darwin was wrong?

Coffee isn’t that great. I’ve been here well over a dozen times hoping for better results. I live around the corner so it’s an easy/​enjoying walk to the harbor. However, the food, customer service and coffee are spotty. Never know if you’ll get a batista. Wish they would improve!

I only had a reg. Coffee and a honey/​raisin muffin it was actually pretty good… Special drinks are a bit high. But I guess if you really want something you have to pay the price :)

It’s alright… had higher expectations… Unilocal listed it as having wifi and it does NOT :(The Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee was tasty, cream nice and cold but they need to do some serious cleaning/​maintenance around here. The window fans are covered in black filth and not very appetizing to put it mildly. I guess cool for a grab and go coffee or sit somewhere else and enjoy the harbor but I would just prefer the coffee/​people/​view at Stratford honestly.

Coffee is okay.
I have one MAJOR business pet peeve, and that is not being open when your Unilocal says you’ll be open. When you say you’re open until 8, I expect you will be open… until 8. If I drive to your shop and pay ($ 2) to park, I do not expect to be told that you close at 6.
What the hell guys? We drove out to your place to grab a coffee and walk along the beach. I checked the time to make sure you were open… You screwed me.
I’m not going back. There are other coffee shops in Oceanside.

I gave it one more try… same result!
So the bitter old woman is the owner. She works every other Sunday there.
There was a long line so I was excited to talk with the other locals. I get to the front and that owner comes across as just not enjoying herself or her job. I ordered several food items and then asked for a caramel macchiato. She says, «we’re not starbucks. We don’t make that.» I knew I wasn’t going to get far with her so I asked the extremely kind young man working with her to make it. He did with no problem and it tasted great. The bitter owner continued to say that they are better than Starbucks and they don’t make that drink. Well, I can just as easily take my business elsewhere and I will from now on.
The drink I ordered is the number 1 seller at Starbucks. You, as a business owner, need to stay on top of the trend or just leave. It’s obvious you’re old and bitter. Just let the nice baristas you have hired take over. Please stay home.

Want some unique coffee that you have never experienced from around the world? Well this is your place! From Puerto Rico to Jamaica they have all your coffee grinds and more! But if you desire something sweet you can have the Oreo or Cap’n Chino Blend!
Feel a little hungry too? They serve paninis, croissants, and have sweet treats to cure your sweet tooth! Prices are reasonable and you can beat the view and seating on the harbor.
