Crema's Take

Nautical Bean captures that sweet spot between a quick caffeine pit stop and a lingering afternoon hangout, with baristas who actually listen to your preferences and nail custom drink orders. The 80s nostalgia-soaked atmosphere makes it feel like a time capsule of good vibes, and whether you're grabbing an iced vanilla latte or settling in with a breakfast sandwich on the outdoor patio, there's a genuine warmth that keeps locals and road-trippers alike coming back for years.

I stopped here on my way back to the tire store and got an iced vanilla latte. The environment was fun and casual. I sat outside and drank my coffee and really enjoyed it. A little pricey but good.

Loved the breakfast sandwich I had and the coffee drink was made to my specifications, not too sweet! Didn't wait long at all for our order. Will definitely be back!

Nautical Bean has been one of my favorite coffee houses for a few years now. Our drinks were made correctly according to our requests and the service was top notch. The bagel with cream cheese was hot and delicious. Employee that brought my bagel over to my table noticed I had a frequent flyer punchcard sitting out and offered to punch it for me. She took it, punched it and brought it back. Great customer service. I also love the vibe and decor inside. They have three locations and I’ve had good experience at all three.

Stopped here to get coffee while on a road trip. What a find! I love the 80’s TV/movie/video game nostalgia. Reminds me of my childhood. Makes me wish I lived in SLO just so I could come here to get coffee and hang out. The foods looks good, but I only got a cold brew. I’m picky and it was perfect. Very mellow and smooth, just how a cold brew should be.

The blue berry scone was missing the blue berry flavor. It was too moist for a scone. Just didn’t love the wrap. My fault not theirs. Grill veggies I assumed was an assortment of grilled veggies. Turns out it’s peppers and onions … when you have the eggs and avocado removed you just don’t have much to work with. Next time I will ask. #allergygirl was disappointed!
