The guy taking our order was awesome and service was quick. I had the horchata latte and it's a definitely a must try! It's got a good balance of cinnamon, coffee, and creamy horchata flavor.

Fruits were fresh and I like my bowls with half coconut and half acai :D My friend got the bagel with cheese, egg, and bacon and said it was really good. It's a cute little shop with beach vibes. I worked from here for the day and I'll definitely be back. They have WiFi with a few tables and a window you can sit by.

The stand itself has a cute little beachside coffee shack vibe and the menu had a lot more options than I expected. The two women working were kind, just not super welcoming, but service was still quick and everything came out great. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in Pacific Beach and craving coffee or dessert.

Definitely a great place to sit in the sun, people-watch, and enjoy some music. Unfortunately, the drink itself didn't break any barriers. I ordered the Matcha Mango Latte and it just missed the mark for me: the flavors didn't quite blend well and it wasn't something I'd order again. All that said, it was still a nice stop to relax for a bit and enjoy the beach air. Just don't come here expecting standout coffee or specialty drinks. This place shines more for its atmosphere than its beverages. Would return for the scene

This seemed like a PB…read morestaple so I figured checking this out, especially with the sign of "Home of America's Best Mocha." Here has my experience: AMBIANCE Parking: Welcome to Pacific Beach! Street parking is available, but depending on the day and time, finding a spot can be an adventure of its own. Give yourself some extra time, especially on the weekends. Do public transportation if you can. Seating: Limited seating both indoor and outdoor. Room for maybe 20 people. Vibes: Welcome to PB. What's cool is that you're a few steps away from Crystal Pier and the beach, then you got your PB things from local beach goers to some fun random events. The spot itself is nothing too flashy. It has your nice pop music playing with some photos of their drinks and their accolades. Good for a grab and go but if you need a break from the heat, this is a chill (no pun intended). FOOD/DRINKS Funky Monkey Mocha (Recommend) This was good. What's not to love - banana, peanut butter, and chocolate. Fich mocha with a nice fruity sweetness of banana and that nutty taste from the peanuts. A fun and desert like drink that gives you a good caffeine kick. CUSTOMER SERVICE Great! Down-to-earth and welcoming. The menu was overwhelming but I had helpful service. TL;DR OVERALL 4.5 Stars. Good coffee, reasonable prices, and a fun selection that gives this little PB coffee shop its identity. Nothing flashy just simple drinks with growing flavors to reflect the diversity of people that come and visit. Their maybe many coffee shops in this are but it had a good charm. Much love to the Kozoglu family and the Pacific Bean team for holding it down! TIPS: - Definitely explore the signature mocha menu--there are A LOT of choices.

If you would like to linger over a great cup of coffee and maybe some avocado toast roll up in here. The staff were super sweet and friendly. I ordered their special, which was a brown sugar cinnamon latte. They default is whole milk, which I can appreciate. It was good hot fairly priced. I also ordered the avocado toast with egg and bacon, and it came with an entire avocado on it!!! it also came with a scrambled egg and pieces of bacon on top along with everything bagel seasoning. Definitely could've used a bit more salt, but otherwise it was delicious. The portion was so big that I ended up, giving half of it away to a gentleman that was walking by and remarked how good it looked. They have a few indoor seats and some outdoor seating. It's street parking in downtown OB so good luck. But if you're in the area and looking for a slow cup of coffee and a bright smile, head on over

I came here because I had been given recommendations to try this place. First things first, before grabbing a coffee I asked to use their restroom. The woman working behind the counter handed me an espresso handle with a key attached and gave me directions for how to get to the bathroom. I couldn't believe they didn't have one in their shop, I thought all businesses that served food and drink had to have a bathroom but as I spent more and more time in California I realized this was not the case. So the bathroom was down the street, past a gym, up three stair cases and down the balcony, down a hall, the entire ordeal took 15 minutes getting there and back, it was honestly insane. When I got back there was a guy in the same boat as me, he was given the key and he came back 10 minutes later and said he couldn't find the bathroom and that it was too complicated. And he's right - it was. If it wasn't an emergency I would have given up all together. I grabbed a drip coffee and took a seat in the back and every second the ceiling and coffee shop would shake with a loud boom. I couldn't understand what was happening until I realized we were underneath a gym. Clearly the area with the weights and all you heard were people dropping dumbbells on the ground and subsequent shakes and bangs on the ceiling of this shop. It was honestly, terrible. I would not come back here because of that. It would be impossible to study or get work done. I guess that's why it's called Pump?
