Nautical Bean
1399 2nd St, San Luis Obispo, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked along the harbor with bay views that make your morning coffee taste even better, this spot is beloved for its strong espresso drinks like the shot in the dark and creative ice blended matcha lattes that deserve a sweetness level chat with the friendly baristas. The limited but satisfying menu of breakfast and light lunch options pairs perfectly with the relaxed, journal-worthy atmosphere—whether you're settling in for a few hours with your laptop or just catching a moment of peace before heading north.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

A great little coffee shop on the harbor that serves breakfast. There is nothing like enjoying a good cup of coffee with breakfast while viewing the harbor and enjoying the outdoors. The kitchen sink wrap is awesome! The place is a favorite with the locals and always busy.…
