    Outside patio

    I love Nautical Bean and will return again in the future, but this trip was not a hit. I started my meal with my favorite drink from this shop, a Shot in the Dark. This is a chai tea with a shot of espresso and nobody does it like Nautical Bean! The staff are always very friendly, helpful and patient. They are never pushing no matter how undecided you are. And they are happy to make recommendations if you ask. I appreciate that all the portions are regular sized and nothing is so large that it's intimidating. All the food is well-made and the ingredients are fresh. There is outside seating at this location and no indoor seating. After your order is taken you are given a number and you can take that to your table. However, drinks are usually served at a pass out bar next to the cashier so don't forget to check for those drinks while you're waiting for your food. The mess on this trip was that I had ordered the avocado toast, which has tomatoes. The tomatoes were definitely not very ripe and I would've preferred that the staff let me know this instead of serving the avocado toast with subpar tomatoes. I would've just gone without the tomatoes. I also ordered a side of scrambled eggs with cheddar, and these were very rubbery and sort of gray in part. I ended up throwing the eggs away. While this experience wasn't the best, I will say that every other time I've eaten at this location it has been wonderful. I think this must've been an off day but like to be honest in my reviews. However, I will come back in the future and review this location again.

    Awesome decor and great coffee! The food is amazing as well and very reasonably priced.

    Awesome decor and great coffee! The food is yummy and reasonable priced. Thank you staff

    Nice local coffee cafe. Good drinks, breakfast sandwiches, pastries. Very kool decor inside. Fills the time while you wait for your order. Most of the employees are cheerful and nice . Did run across one staff that seemed grumpy.. I get it it's early he's a kid! Won't hold it against him. Of course busy on weekends from 8-10,, other than that usually pretty quick service. We always go there when in Los oso.. while we stay at baywood inn. Who's is a very nice hotel , gives vouchers for the nautical bean while staying there.

    We just had some specialty coffee today. The cool thing about this little coffee spot is the location and the decor. Inside they have a really fun collection of old lunchboxes from the 60s-80s generation. I personally love nostalgic touches like this. The skate decks and famous memorabilia is super fun! Outside you have an awesome walk around the bay and several places to sit and enjoy the views. The service people are super nice and we got our drinks very quick even with a pretty large number of people around. We stayed for a bit talking about the lunchbox memories.

    Seen at the Bean... and also the scene at the Bean.

    Got the morning off? Head down to the Baywood bay and relax at the Nautical Bean. They have on or off street parking, good fresh brews of coffee, and a breakfast burrito I enjoy dumping their fresh salsa on. The kid loves to take the puppers here and grab some grub, pastries, an almond milk chai tea, and eat on the patio and "chill". (they're dog-friendly with treats and water dishes for the canine kids)

    Yummy coffee and kind people. The menu has some confusing things so: Matte = green tea (caffeinated) You can put cold foam on everything! It's like whipped cream topping but less sweet/creamy. Chocolate butterscotch is not hot chocolate, it's coffee.

    Nautical Bean is a local chain, but this one is right at the water, and just 350 feet from Marea Art Studio. Worth a detour

    This is one of the coolest coffee shops I have been to. Absolutely loved the vibe, millenial core to the max with pop art and plastic lunch boxes on the walls, it's awesome. I got the mint chip latté. It had just a subtle mint chocolate flavor and it was rich and delicious. I also got the pumpkin muffin because I love pumpkin and it was just alright, the flavor can be improved but the texture was moist and fluffy, I will try another flavor next time. I love the location, right next to the water, and they had plenty of outside seating to enjoy the view with your food and drink. Parking could be challenging, as far as i could tell it's just street parking unless you are staying at the hotel next door or across the street. Either way, I will be back, next time I want to try their breakfast food because passing by it looked pretty good. They also have a really good setup with creamers and sweeteners if you just want a black coffee.

    My family and I have been coming here annually each summer for the last three decades. I think we…read moreonly missed one year, 2020. This place is consistently our favorite in the area. The clam chowder is something you do not want to miss out on. And the complementary sourdough bread that is included is exquisite. We tend to always be a larger party, somewhere between 8 & 12 attending. This year there was a bit of a snag in that they have few larger tables that can accommodate us, and that was being used when we arrived. The issue was not the fault of the restaurant, just a thing that happened, causing the wait to be significantly longer as those before us were deeply engaged in conversation. The staff made other accommodations for us by creating a large table out of numerous two tops, which we appreciated very much. Our server was Kathy, and she was absolutely delightful; could not have done anything better. She was pleasant, humorous, very accurate and efficient. I let Kathy know it was my brother's birthday and she arranged to have a beautiful chocolate mousse delivered to the table and we sang happy birthday to him, making for an even increased great experience.

    After arriving at Morro Bay this last Saturday our first stop was to have brunch at Dorn's located…read moreon the Bluff above the Embarcadero however, after seeing the very large crowd waiting to get in, we decided to return and have an early breakfast on Monday and what a difference that made no waiting And we got seated right away SERVICE: excellent except I had to ask for my orange juice after finishing 3/4 of my breakfast, but it was worth it because the orange juice was cold and freshly squeezed and refreshing! AMBIANCE: the decor was nice. We actually got a table with a view of Morro rock, but it was half covered with fog. There's also outside seating that have space heaters and umbrellas. FOOD: the seafood omelette was topped with one shrimp and filled with 75% mushrooms and bits of crab and a little more shrimp my wife ordered scrambled eggs, but with the option of three pancakes instead of potatoes, however we did notice a textural difference in the eggs. I'm not sure whether they use liquid eggs substitutes because they were a bit runny but we thought they were very thin not thick and fluffy, but they did taste OK the coffee was good. The tea. My wife ordered was just luke warm so she asked for another pot and it was still not hot. NOTE: the Embarcadero and front Street has become extremely overcrowded on the weekends and that stands true with Pismo and Avila and Cayucos. i'm glad we were able to enjoy these places before they got this way.

    This place has sentimental value for a lot of locals and return visitors to Sea Pines. If I factor…read morethat in, it's four stars. But assuming you're reading this because you haven't been there before, my rating for recent visits for dinner is a solid three stars. I know it's hard to keep professional servers. But sheesh, my experience with servers there over the last six months has been everything from super-pro friendly to flippant treat-you-like-a-tourist-who's-never-coming-back to practically invisible. You just never know. If Raul is in the kitchen, you're going to have a stellar meal, even with the average quality of the ingredients. The food is overpriced but usually a good portion. There is a happy hour 3:00 - 6:00 Mon - Thurs: $1 off beer, wine, and apps. Some menu items that are my faves include the halibut & chips (can sub salad and/or get halibut grilled), $20; apple balsamic Brussels (recommend the balsamic reduction on the side as that can get heavy-handed), $13; the burgers, $14-$18. The bartending is more consistently good-to-great. The Barefoot on the Green Saturday afternoon concerts are hugely popular. It's a beautiful location to eat outside if it's not too cold and/or windy (which is often - check the Los Osos weather). I'll be back; I always go back.

    The good: Amazing location, great staff, beautiful scenery, good soaps and products in the rooms…read more The bad: Building is a little bit dated, the rooms don't have AC, but the ceiling fan does the job. Small bathroom, and spotty WiFi. If you're looking for something off the beaten path in a quiet yet beautiful spot and you're willing to tough it out just a little, this is a good place to stay.

    This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. I have stayed at cheaper hotels and received better…read moreservice etc. Also, at least at the "cheap" hotels you absolutely know what you are going to get. Here you are sold a wolf ticket and being told you are going to see the best show on earth. Upon arrival to the room I noticed water on the floor which was not a result of mopping due to the fact that the floor felt sticky. The floor was also filthy. One walk across left the bottom of my feet dirty. In the bathroom there was scratched off paint as if someone or something was fighting for their life to get out of the bathroom. There was also dirty hand prints on the wall of the bathroom that had no place to set toiletries or clothing. There was also no bar soap and the coffee had not been refilled. We were staying for 4 nights and there were only two coffees. One of the biggest issues was the lock was broken on the door, as if someone had forced their way in or tried to force their way out. Very unsafe for a ground level room, especially considering plenty of addicts seem to stay here and party all night. The room also had no proper ventilation, no ceiling fan, and an old box fan that had paint all over it. The fan barely did anything and even at 55 degrees outside the room remained HOT. I also had to crawl on the floor behind nightstand to find somewhere to plug it in. Even with all this and more there was push back about switching rooms because they supposedly never do that on the weekend when a room is unsafe? They said they had to clean the new room and I had to missed a family event to wait for new room to be cleaned and moved into (no help offered). Then that room was slightly better but the floor was still filthy and the soap in the bathroom was just set in the caddy after epoxy they attached it with failed. I had to get my own socks dirty so that my feet would say clean. The beds are way too soft and you have to sleep in the center to feel like you aren't going to fall off. The water pressure is non existent. The customer service was spotty. Pet fee not explained well at all but that was all my fault according to person who explained that they HIGHLIGHTED the information. Very young people who work there who are made to put up with all the BS owners and management make them deal with. How are they to know? It's too bad, it is a wonderful location. I hope they can update someday so that it might be worth what they charge and match what they advertise. This was my one vacation this year. It was no less than awful. Aside from putting us in a safer room, the staff did nothing for us. Up to $275 a night for what? So disappointing. Update: They ended up giving us a night+ refund for our troubles. While most certainly appreciated, I feel like it was the smallest band-aid on the biggest cut. Update 2: they replied saying that lock was operational. When you put safety lock over door you could still open the door. So NO, not operational. And they said that maintenance said it worked. Nope the nice maintenance worker did NOT say that. So on top of everything else, they are now lying.
