Kitchen Sink wrap and a light roast is the way!! Shoutout to the staff, I see them in the back making everything from scratch. What a great little cafe with such an amazing outside location!

A great little coffee shop on the harbor that serves breakfast. There is nothing like enjoying a good cup of coffee with breakfast while viewing the harbor and enjoying the outdoors. The kitchen sink wrap is awesome! The place is a favorite with the locals and always busy. Well worth a drive from Morro Bay to check out.

What a nice place to stop and have breakfast anytime of the day with a cup of Joe. Due to it's rather small size this bistro only serves breakfast sandwiches, burritos and the like. Plenty of parking and outside seating available. The crousant sandwich was toasty and yummy. Give it a try, you won't be dissappointed. Good job guys.

Excellent coffee, pastries, and sandwhiches...with a fast and VERY friendly service team. My teen who doesn't eat anything loves their croissant breakfast. We love coming here early in the morning to enjoy our coffee with the view of the bay. This is conveniently located across the street from our Inn (which you should book, BTW!)

Whenever I'm visiting the central coast, I always make sure to stop by the Nautical Bean. Great coffee and breakfast items located right on the bay. The bathroom here is also excellent; well stocked with soap, toilet paper, and hand towels.

Super dope small skateboarder owned coffee shop! Lots of cool old-school boards and lunchboxes to look at. Good coffees and expensive breakfast and food options.

The owner of this place must have been following me through my childhood in the 70s and 80s because the design aesthetic made me feel right at home. Down to the labels for the drip coffee varieties based on old VHS tape brand logos. Details matter. The vibe is low-key chill, but exceptionally smart. Great coffee, great baked goods, and absolutely A1 people watching. The senior table starts to populate around 8 and they are live. They even leave an old towel outside on the patio furniture for you to wipe the condensation off so yo' booty don't get wet. Thoughtful AND hip. Rare.

During high tide the view is a rose, at low tide it is also a rose, but muddy. The Peru coffee is the reason I come, best cup for miles. All the food is equally good. Muffins could be a bit more hearty - Spinach and Feta pastry is the top dog. Great place to bring your dog, biscuits and tolerance as well as water bowls and places to tie up if needed. Bring a towel or rag to wipe down seats from the fog.
