    Very nice coffee shop with plenty of sitting and parking. The Coffee is nice and strong with bold flavors. Large coffee menu and some good eats. I will be back again.

    I looove that their coffee is organically farmed and processed in Uganda, then locally roasted in Vista, CA with a simple mission, "Love Coffee. Love People More". I'm all about spreading some LOVIN'. It's greaaat that Vista Bean is passionate about connecting people. When I walked in for my first time, the coffee shop was bright and spacious with positive vibes. The staff were really helpful when I had questions. I left satisfied with my latte. The sweetness was pretty balanced which is not the typical case for me. I was open to it and can't wait to go back to try something new. This is definitely a recommended spot for the Yelp Community :-)

    Been driving by this place for a while and got a chance to stop by and get coffee. I ordered an iced banana bread latte and a chocolate chip cookie. Pretty good! Give this place a try!

    We came in to try out their coffee. The menu is small for food (pastries) but a decent size listing for coffee. You can add syrups to your liking. There is one register running so be patient. My husband ordered the drip and I had a decaf americano. Additional costs to adding syrups and alternative milks. Coffee was good. Ethically sourced. We brought our own cups which takes $0.10 off your order. You can enter a phone number for points if you are going to continue to come here. Looks like a great space for catching up with friends or co-working. Parking can be limited if busy.

    - huge lot with its own parking and a massive interior! Perfect for studying/working - they had fun seasonal offerings and a solid coffee menu - I got the honey bunches of coffee ($6.25 for 12 oz) which has marshmallow and pecan syrup - it's a very sweet drink so the espresso gets kinda covered, I mainly tasted the vanilla-y marshmallow flavor not so much the pecan

    Vista Bean is a very unique coffee shop that is committed to supporting the people and community of Uganda. All of their coffee is organically farmed and 100% of the money goes to their farmers, that's amazing! I ordered a simple cold brew with coconut cold foam and I can taste the richness of the coffee beans, probably one of the best cold brews I've had. This little shop is located right before the freeway so I definitely suggest checking this place out for your next pit spit, there is plenty of parking and seating options inside. I didn't try any of their food options, although everything looked great-- especially the pastries. My only critic is I wish the barista was a little more friendly with a welcome, and a little loud and clear when I was asking for recommendations. I didn't feel like my presence was acknowledged.

    We love trying new local coffee shops, and decided to pop into the Vista Bean on a Monday afternoon. Lots of parking here, the interior of the space is airy and bright with lots of natural lighting and many tables. It would be a good place to sit and get a few hours of work done. however, only a few tables have access to a socket so keep that in mind . They also have a fun little assortment of items you can shop for, including handwoven baskets, coffee paraphernalia, and other merchandise. They have pastries and prepackaged snacks, some of which were gluten-free, which is always appreciated. I got a iced strawberry Matcha, and it was very good. They use ceremonial grade Matcha and a yummy strawberry jam/purée spread. It takes a little bit to mix it into the iced Matcha, but once you blend it in there, as I did, it was really tasty. The staff was very friendly as well! Overall, really enjoyed my drink and the good vibes, and would love to come back.

    Another must try coffee shop in Oceanside! This place is pretty big and has a nice size parking lot. It is a little difficult driving into the parking lot since it is so close to the on ramp to get on the 78 and the 15 south. We went around noon and we had to do a couple loops before there was not traffic blocking the entrance. Oh and we were coming from the 78. If coming from the coast, it should be a lot better. Even though there was ample parking, it was full. Hunters steakhouse is next door and I kinda got the feeling that the coffee shops lot is being used as overflow. There wasnt too many people inside. I love when coffee shops have seasonal drinks on top of their regular coffee. I got the honey bunches of oats latte with oat milk which was made of marshmellow and praline flavors. My husband got the maple pancake cold brew along with regular drip coffee. It was all so delicious. The drip coffee didn't even need sweetener! The ambience was nice. More upbeat than the other chill coffee spots. I can see it as a good hangout spot to get coffee with friends!

    Banana Bread Latte

    Love the new spring options and can't wait to try them all! Ordered the banana bread latte with oatmilk and wow. So good!! Trying the raspberry white mocha next!

    Another coffee shop that I've been driving by forever and finally my husband and I decided to stop in on our way to downtown SD. So happy we went! They have a great parking lot, so it's pretty easy to get in and out of, and they have a great amount of indoor seating. Perfect place to study, meet up with friends and family, or work for a few hours. As soon as I saw ceremonial grade matcha on the menu, I knew what I had to order. I ordered their ceremonial iced matcha with lavender syrup and almond milk and it was perfect! I could drink this all day long as they did a fantastic job. My husband ordered a hazelnut latte and my goodness it was delicious. I love a great balance in a drink, usually not too sweet but not bitter either, and his hazelnut latte was just the right balance. I was honestly amazed at how good it was. He claimed it's the best latte he's had in years. Both of our drinks were so good! I noticed they had some gf/vegan options of pastries too. As soon as I saw the blueberry lemon scone, I knew I needed to try it. It looked as good as it tastes! I loved it, and it's not noticeable as being gf/vegan when tasting it/the texture of it, but if you aren't used to gf/vegan baked goods, you may notice the slight difference. Delicious flavor overall!

    Came here to work remote, and I'm happy to know that I will be coming back to either work remote again or bring friends and family. There are a handful of chairs and tables, and it's not too loud inside. I got the iced white mocha latte and a ham and cheese croissant, both very good but heads up on the croissant it is very flaky. The girls working are also very kind :)

    Mission

    Dear Yelp Community, I visited this shop for the first time today. Great location/visibility, spacious venue, ample parking, indoor and outdoor seating, and friendly staff. Ambiance is positive with good window lighting, high ceilings, and a view of the lagoon. Staff shared information about the mission of the company. I enjoyed the seasonal pop tart! Continued well wishes. Sincerely, Anna

    We bumped into this spot looking for a brunch spot. The environment is nice and calm. They had an interesting beverage in the menu that I just had to try. Uncle B Mexican Cocoa. Be warned it is a hot drink and I don't mean "hot" steaming hot I mean as in my stomach will feel it later get me down milk kinda deal. JC. Its not that spicy but it is spiced for sure. Servir was great. I asked the barista what was in the cocoa and she warned. Cayenne. Perfect got it. Try it out.

One of the best veggie sandwich I have tried recently. - Ham and cheese omelette with fruits and hash browns 5/5 The omelette was rich, savory complimented with ham and ooey gooey cheese. -ultimate breakfast sandwich 5/5 It had eggs, ham, cheese, and hashbrown. -strawberry pancakes. 5/5 The pancake was large, warm, fluffy with perfect texture. We couldn't leave without ordering many pastries and chocolate. We got the following to go ; -apricot tart 5/5 It was flaky, buttery and rich with zesty tang taste of apricot. - cinnamon custard roll 5/5 It was very flaky , buttery with an adequate taste of cinnamon. - ganache heart truffle - marshmallow truffle My goodness! I loved their ganache heart truffle as well as the marshmallow! It was decadent, silky texture, just luxurious! - Brownie 5/5 Moist, chocolatey, perfectly sweetened and indulgent.

Don't even get me started on all the specialty coffees and teas that are amazing and come with art!

I truly feel bad for the situation he's in, but it made the environment really difficult to sit in and ended up making us lose our appetite. We actually had to leave because of it. I hope this can be handled in a compassionate but practical way so customers can continue to enjoy the great food and service that Naked Cafe provides.
