    While visiting this summer The Bean became our favorite coffee shop. Located away from the Embarcadero crowd, it's quiet and relaxing with outdoor seating, excellent pastries, delicious sandwiches, and great coffee. If you want a good neighborhood place to sit and relax for a while, this is it.

    Quaint little coffee shop in Morrow Bay called the Nautical Bean

    Delicious coffee, delightful baristas that made a simple get-together a special occasion by making sure each of us had exactly what we wanted. I couldn't make up my mind, so "Leo" (Lou?) slowly explained what each menu item involved and was patient with others who also had questions about the different names and flavors of the hot coffee. As you can see by the picture below, they lit up the little shop with smiles. We will be back next time we are in town!

    Chai was. Ice and thick. Salmon sandwich was good. Croissant tasted good but was a little singed. Good thing about croissants is the dark parts scrape off easily. One of the offspring experienced a ramen salad and did not like it. Weird since half of his calorie intake is ramen... They let me put Stoutcast.com and Thespitter.com stickers on the register, so thanks! Outdoor seating out of the wind which was awesome. Servers Tessa et al were very nice and friendly.

    There ate no shortages of coffee places in morro bay The place on the hottest corner in town was finally consumed by another coffee place. The last few occupants just didn't get the business they earned to return again,always an issue Hopefully Nautical has their beans together and will make proud this golden corner in morro bay. Leo greeted me as I came through the door, okay good fun and good stuff. The skate board theme was unexpected for a nautical place. I was expecting fish nets and glass buoy balls. Its what's inside that counts said my mother, I ordered a iced mocha coffee no whip The menu looks interesting and certainly needs further exploration. Breakfast burrito, sandwiches, pastries, cookies sold out Yeah...and my favorite sitting outside in the shade watching people crossing the street verses cars trying to cross the street. Add a bar on two corners and the entertainment begins. So come on in and buy something and lets keep this coffee place in business foodguy-Martin

    Their coffee is sooooo good! It might be the best cuppa coffee I've ever had! We returned to Nautical bean in Morro Bay to partake of some more of that delicious brew! It was foggy as usual, and what better place to beat the fog than in a warm, cozy coffee shop.? Especially one decorated with cute skate and surfboard themes and quirky decor! The cafe was crowded but a friendly and patient barista took our orders! My coffee was up right away and I sipped it while we admired the baked goods in the counter and waited a short time for them to be ready. I ordered my decaf coffee latte in a large size so I could savor it throughout the day. We then put in an order for an everything bagel and lox with cream cheese. My husband got his traditional breakfast sandwich to go along with his coffee. The coffee was the perfect match to the rich flavor of the lox and cream cheese everything bagel. My husband's breakfast sandwich was opulent and a generous size. We will return to this cozy cafe time and again for their wonderful coffee and accompaniments!

Cute gift shop, decor with country tchatchkes, doing some minor handiwork during open time - was a bit distracting. Loud with echoes due to concrete floors. Owner overseeing the handiwork and her daughter seems to work here. Lots of loud local conversations heard across the restaurant, including discussions about city council meetings, etc. 3% Credit Card fee not posted in the menu, but rather on the board at the entry. Some people might miss this posting, which is unfortunate. Sat at a small table even though several larger ones were available and no one waiting. Seem to specialize in breakfast, which I have had here before and it was fantastic!! Friendly folks. Bottomless sodas, but they were flat and tasted too syrupy. Could have also been diet even though I ordered regular. Green leaf lettuce so I ordered a salad with my bacon cheeseburger and fries on the side. I appreciate that the server knew it was cheaper to get fries on the side instead of the salad on the side. Fries were seasoned a bit too heavy-handed, the burger was great., bacon cooked perfectly. Server quick to refill soda as I ate my meal. I will probably return here, especially for breakfast, but will pay with cash next time. Clearing off my phone I found some old pics from Carla's, boy does that breakfast and sandwich to-go look great!!

Service was average, server was def busy running around taking care of many tables but getting us what we needed as soon as feasible. Food itself was just ok. It was fresh but I didn't find it flavorful unfortunately. The chicken fried steak was not a great texture to me. The biscuits were good and so was the gravy. The berry drink was too sweet. Maybe I just ordered the wrong items. I would be willing to try again as it was a cute spot.

So I went into the Smoothies place to check it out, oh and write a review as I wait. Cozy as it gets with the friendly staff, actually looked like they enjoy the job and human interactions. I asked for a Mango something smoothie but no pineapple, be creative. The place has a good variety of drinks and edibles, sandwiches, salads, avocado toast, and on and on. If you don't see it they would probably make it for you. Now granted I was the only order being made at this moment and my smoothie was delivered to me as I sat at the bistro table out front. I was surprised how flavorful the smoothie was, I don't know why I thought that but it did taste good, a bit pricy. I'm good with pricy and this was backed up with quality ingredients and stellar service. Ah...yes and supporting local business is good for everyone Thanks, I'll see you again! Foodguy-Martin

    While searching Yelp for a coffee shop, Rock Espresso Bar came up as one of the most popular…read moreoptions in the area. With so many reviews, I was looking forward to giving it a try. Walking in, you can tell this is a classic neighborhood café. There's nothing overly fancy about it--just a few tables, a small pastry case, and, of course, coffee. One thing that surprised me was the music choice. They were playing what sounded like punk rock, which felt a little out of place for the atmosphere of the café, especially since many of the customers appeared to be older adults. For my order, I went with a blueberry muffin and a cappuccino. The muffin was fresh and flavorful, and the cappuccino was well made. Overall, I was happy with both items. The reason I'm taking off a star is because the employee working during my visit used a lot of profanity while speaking. I understand that casual conversation happens, but I don't think that kind of language is appropriate in a café setting where customers are trying to relax and enjoy their coffee. Overall, I would recommend this place if you're looking for a quick grab-and-go coffee or pastry. The food and drinks were good, but the atmosphere wasn't ideal for sitting down to study, work, or have a conversation with someone.

There was also parking right in front, with no line, which was convenient. I wanted something fried, but when I saw that they use canola oil, I decided to go with the salmon tacos instead. Salmon isn't exactly a local fish, but it's usually a safe bet, especially when it's fresh frozen. I got the salmon tacos, which came as two tacos on two tortillas. The salmon was topped with a little cabbage and tomato, melted cheese, and what seemed to be some onion and cilantro. They also included a small serving of salsa. Overall, they were decent, but not the best salmon tacos I've had. One thing that was a little annoying was that some of the salmon had the dark "bloodline" still attached. I usually scrape that off because I find that part of the fish more bitter and strongly flavored. That's especially awkward with tacos because you're trying to remove it from pieces of fish that are already in the taco. I've had salmon tacos elsewhere where that part had been trimmed off, so there was nothing to deal with. No bones, though. The tacos were a little pricey at just over $20 with tax, but you're in a tourist area and it's California, so that wasn't exactly surprising. They made for a decent meal, and sitting outside was pleasant.
