Located in a prime location near the PB board walk. The shop is on the small side, but still has a nice vibe with the decor and dessert case. Unfortunately I came at the same time a health inspector was there. The owner seemed very nice, but was preoccupied with the inspection. I ordered a 16 oz hot blondie mocha, but the iced version was prepared. I let the owner know and he apologized and made the hot version. However, it was a 12 versus the 16 oz I paid for. The coffee was pretty good and the prices were reasonable. Next time I'm in the area, I'll give the shop another try and hopefully there won't be any distractions! read more

Cute little shop, only one man working when I was there but he was working hard and getting drinks out while still being personable. I got the Milky Way, the drink was okay. It wasn't the best mocha in the world but it was average the price wasn't too crazy especially when this location is in the perfect area. Probably wouldn't be back but it was still good. read more

Great spot near the beach! The coffee is excellent, and the guy was super friendly. I had a latte that was smooth and perfectly made. The cozy, laid-back atmosphere with ocean views makes it a perfect place to relax. They also have tasty pastries, muffins and bagels! There was only one person and mornings are generally busy so expect some delay. I will surely visit again! read more

Great coffee selection! They have Turkish and Vietnamese coffee which I thought was cool. They also have so many flavors for their mochas which I don't see at most places. I got the Orange Almond Mocha which was good. Not too sweet, but honestly didn't have much of a coffee taste. The orange chocolate was delicious! The prices are also very reasonable compared to basically any other coffee shop I've been to in the area. I would definitely come back to try something else! read more

Coffee shop in PB. They have a variety of iced teas, matcha drinks, and of course mochas! They also have gelato and lots of desserts (cheesecake, baklava, etc.). I got the rose vanilla matcha. Pretty drink and it was pretty good! Not the strongest matcha flavor but you could definitely taste the rose. Service was very friendly! I'll definitely stop by again to try their mochas next time I'm in PB. :) read more

When staying on PB, this is where I grab my morning bite and coffee. Most importantly, the staff. They keep the place humming along calmly even when a big group comes in, engaging each person as if they are equally important and not to be rushed. The space is bright and clean. Menu is a delight. Always daily specials of creative drinks and seasonal menu options. I got the Mexican mocha usually, but can be tempted to try a daily special. Wide breakfast menu with lots of veggie options .

They offer coffee, milk teas, ice teas, and ice cream! Such variety of cold drinks and dessert! The worker greeted us right away and checked up on us to know if we're ready to order. It seemed like she's working alone at the time, but got our drinks ready fast. I wasn't too sure if they accept cash as I only saw an iPad and a card slot for payment. read more

Terrible taste. I tried iced latte, and after I sipped it, as the taste was too horrible, I asked the owner to exchange it with iced coffee. It was further horrible taste again and I had to discard it into the trash box. The worst taste was likely due to 1) beans not properly stored, 2) too much water relative to the amount of coffee beans, and 3) not a fresh coffee but rather it was from a few days ago. I and my wife think this coffee shop gave us the worst experience in the US... read more

Pacific Bean Coffee is a teeny tiny little shop you could easily walk by-- but that'd be a mistake. It offers everything you need at a reasonable price. We came in after a night of drinks on a Sunday morning. Service was both very friendly and prompt. I ordered my go-to, a vanilla latte. And while it wasn't the best I've ever had-- it definitely hit the spot. There's wi-fi, indoor and outdoor seating and it's right by the boardwalk. Plus, you can hear the ocean as you sip on your morning brew. Don't walk past Pacific Bean Coffee. read more

You can't really beat the refreshing taste of fresh fruit and nutty granola and butter. Especially when you can take this delectable bowl to the beach and just vibe in the sand. Wave Bowl $16 (14.50+1.50): 5/5 The bowl itself looks fairly small like, but deceptively so since I was stuffed after eating the whole thing for breakfast. It is higher cost than I would usually spend but I don't eat açaí bowls to know the average. Personally I really liked that the toppings were at the bottom and the bases were on top, not just because it was a beautiful display but because sometimes when it is the opposite, it can quickly get messy with toppings falling and dropping. The granola was crunchy and the add-on nut butter ($1.50) was plentiful and contrasted well to the fruits. You get some finely diced strawberries and bananas that were just the right amount of ripe, the bananas a little more firm but definitely preferred with the bases. The pineapple spirulina was favorite as it had a good sweetness to it. Honestly wished I could get a bowl with just this as a base and of course the natural blue color is just so unique. Coconut was coconutty and the pitaya was brightly colored, not too much distinctive taste on this one. Peak San Diego Experience

Based on taste alone I could have given this place 4 starts but the extra tik tok tax(inflated price just for being TikTok trendy) and extra wait time for the exact same thing you can get anywhere else rubbed me wrong so I'm going to have to leave this 3 star right here.

We come to PB once a year around the holidays, and love trying new places. We are often looking for…read morenew places to grab a drink, or have coffee in the morning. We try to stay away from S-Bux in favor of trying and supporting the local spots! This is actually the second year in a row that we've come to Pump. We first discovered it last year during a combination of Yelp searches, and a little A-Frame sign they have along the boardwalk. The reviews were mostly all good, and we quickly understood why. LOCATION & INSIDE: Located in a little outdoor shopping center, the inside itself is pretty small. Amongst different areas, there is room for around a dozen or less people to sit inside. They have a little space against the wall across from the counter where they sell shirts and other items such as travel mugs, glass sippers, and mushroom coffee! There are a few additional tables out front, but I recommend taking your coffee down for a stroll along the beach if the weather permits. DRINKS: This is a pretty typical coffee shop in terms of offerings, with options including regular coffee, cold brew, pour-over, espresso, cappuccino, americano, latte, tea, tea latte, and hot chocolate. They have several options for most categories, including a Caramel Macchiato, (White) Mocha, and a Rose Lavender latte, to name a few. They also have seasonal drinks, which are currently a Tiramisu Cold Brew and a Peppermint White (Chocolate) Mocha. For tea lattes, they have items like a Chai Latte, Matcha Latte, and even a few variations of those. The first time we went (last year), we got hot drinks. This most recent time we went (a couple days ago) we went with iced lattes. The wifey ordered the Rose Lavender, and I got the French Vanilla latte. We both loved our drinks, and were very happy with our decisions. It's only a difference of $0.50 to go from small (12oz.) to large (16oz.) and +$1 to have an alternative milk. We love to use oat milk, as it helps create an extra creamy drink. While they don't typically have their own cold foam per-se, they were able to add some of the whipped mascarpone from the tiramisu latte on top. Honestly this was the perfect topper to an already incredibly creamy and delicious drink. They also added some dried rose petals to the lavender one, which was a nice aesthetic. FOOD: There are just a few options, including various croissants and vegan pastries. They don't have a full kitchen, so the stuff isn't freshly made in-house. For the animal friends in your life, they also offer a Puppaccino for $1! OVERALL: This is definitely a place worth stopping for some quality coffee. They generally have 2 people working, unless one's on break or something. The service is pretty casual, and can take a while if there's a line. They take an order, then make the drink. The staff were all super friendly and welcoming, and this is definitely a place we have added to the rotation during our annual holiday trip! IG: @bbnem.eats

Unfortunately it was one of the worst cold brews I've had and I would not order it again.
