Everyday since May of 1994, the early morning silence along the water stirs with the sound of Jamaican Blue Mountain Wallenford Estate, Kona Extra Fancy Greenwell Estate and six other daily specialty coffees grinding and percolating.

The morning harbor air is thick with the intoxicating aromas of the Nautical Bean.

That magical scent consistently charms both locals and tourists into stopping in, only to find that they’ve discovered the best cup of coffee, the best coffee education and most amazing entertainment in town.

“The Bean” is nestled just a few wet footprints away from the famous Southern California beachfront, beside a stretching expanse of docks, sailboats, fishing vessels and yachts that make up North County San Diego’s Oceanside Harbor.
