The best spot to grab coffee and food while looking out at the docked boats. They have a nice little area for seating which my toddlers loved because they got to see the water. Staff was knowledgeable and friendly. I asked for a recommendation for my latte and she did not disappoint, I had an oatmilk latte with honey and cinnamon. Absolutely delicious. My husband loved his London fog as well.

We stopped by this spot a few times during our 4 days in Oceanside. The first visit, I asked the barista where their coffee was from, and surprisingly, she didn't know. With such an extensive menu, I expected the staff to be a bit more knowledgeable, especially since I came in specifically to try their award-winning local coffee. Still, she recommended their most popular roast, Nightwatch. I usually drink my coffee black, and I have to say it was actually really good! Not acidic at all and smooth taste. On our other visits, I stuck with iced coffee. I loved that they offer lactose-free and sugar-free options (huge plus!). But my last drink was a letdown, it was more like 70% milk with barely any ice and just a splash of coffee. Honestly, it tasted like flavored oat milk and was pretty gross. We didn't try the food, but they do serve some, and the location is hard to beat. There's plenty of seating right by the waterfront, and it's covered so you can enjoy it even when it's misty or raining. Overall, it's worth checking out for the atmosphere and (hopefully consistent) coffee.

Sheltered seating outside.

Solid 4 stars for Nautical Bean. Good cup of black coffee. Egg burrito was excellent. Other food options looked good. Tough to beat the very pleasant seating and harbor view. Good service from the two behind the counter. Good stop!

Can't beat the view

Coffee was good. Iced vanilla late. No thrills type of drink but that's what I wanted. Jazz music playing added to the ambiance.

Stopped by to grab a coffee for a stroll on the beach. Grabbed an iced latte and it was very good. You could taste the espresso which I always appreciate. Looks like they have plenty of options for drinks and breakfast items.

This was the cutest little coffee shop on the pier area. While waiting for our charter boat I realized I needed my morning coffee. So glad this spot was close. I had a caramel macchiato and at the last minute decided on a blueberry muffin. Oh my goodness. the blueberry muffing was delicious warmed up. (It hit the spot on such an overcast day. The service was great and the ambiance is totally beach vibes. They do have seating across the walkway if you want to sit and enjoy the ocean while sipping on your drink of choice and having a delicious pastry. Next time I'm in Oceanside I will be stopping by. Just a side note, I didn't realize that they close at 2:00 so I missed out on a muffin for the road.

Got the spinach feta wrap today on my walk! Cute little cafe and great place to stop if you need a quick caffeine break. My food came out quickly and the people were friendly!

Vegan friendly mixed berry smoothie, mochachinos with oat milk and an ice water

Good place to grab a coffee or smoothie. They also have some breakfast items, unfortunately none of those are vegan except the açaí bowl. They also have some grab and go drinks, pastries (none vegan), and a few prepackaged vegan friendly cookies. Their mocha is made with almonds and cinnamon. It definitely has a sweeter yet pleasant taste than I'm accustomed to. Service was friendly. Drinks were made promptly and there is patio seating to enjoy your drinks/food if you're not gonna take it to the beach or walk around with it. It is definitely nice to be by the water! It has a very chill atmosphere.

pretty views tho always

Went there yesterday on Easter , got a iced caramel latte and a hot mocha The mocha was cold and tasted like just straight milk but the chocolate whipped cream was good. The latte also just tasted like milk and wasn't even full , such a cute spot for a coffee but the two times I've been there the coffee is just not good :/ hopefully the baristas can be trained better to improve in the future

Mrs. Yelper approved.

Natty makes good use of the small space they have at the marina. Queue up in a small cottage and enjoy across the walkway in a heated, covered patio. We tried a vanilla latte (Mrs. Yelper approved), and I had my usual, brewed coffee, black. This one medium roast. It didn't paralyze my neck like a dark (read: burned) roast but it wasn't interesting either, just coffee with few tasting notes other even as it cooled. -1* because Natty's espresso machine looked like a pedestrian poser, so much so I didn't try my typical double shot, straight, in a small ceramic cup. Pardon me if this observation turns out to be false and I am a boorish oaf for not correcting it.

This afternoon ago around 3 PM, I sat outside just enjoying my plane on a cold windy day. While siting and just having my coffee minding my own business, i heard a loud scream. It turns out these loud rowdy middle school girls walked past by this coffee place laughing, they saw me for the way I look, of course, I was wearing all black, had eyeliner and black nail polish. I got called "hey emo!" which is a very very demeaning. I have not ever heard anyone call someone that name since high school in a long time since before early 2010s I don't care what anyone else thinks of me, I was not bothered at all. But just in case, i was so nervous but I had very little bit of strength to tell the store manager what happened and had the audacity to shrug it off, " if there's anything else I can do for you." Well, you know what then, since I was harassed and degraded, I will never come back here again. Calling someone "emo" is really degrading, it's derogatory, it's hurtful. it's the same thing to call someone a f@g, it's not OK to call anyone that. Jason was never helpful nor apologetic towards me! I never let any name-calling get to me, but I don't deserve to get hurled out while I was simply sitting outside at the tables alone just having my coffee. Jason can go fuck himself! Fuck you jason! Asshole!!!!!

They also had a super charming grab-and-go section with goodies and gifts. I ended up picking up a couple of cowboy shot glasses and some chocolates to gift.

The hours are great, the space is clean and inviting, and the matcha was okay. One thing I found a little odd: they bring your food to the table, but not your drink. Not a huge deal, just something I noticed. I came here twice in a row because I couldn't stop thinking about the lemon basil burrata toast. The first time was incredible which loaded with toppings and full of flavor. The second time looked noticeably lighter on the burrata and basil. Maybe it was an off day, because I know how good it can be. Overall, I'd still come back. The matcha was good enough, the toast was good enough to bring me back immediately, and despite the slightly curated "everyone here is working on a startup" vibe, the food was worth the visit.

I drove up to go to Boomers for a school event, and yes, I hit some traffic in the afternoon. The…read moredrive made me sleepy, so on my way back, since now the traffic was heavier, I looked for some place to grab a coffee. Revolution came up and was close. Right off of Vista Way in Oceanside. Scored a spot right in front...must've been kismit! They have the regular coffees but also some signature drinks as well. But it looks like there's some seasonal coffees too. Friendly hello when it was my turn. Me: So what do you think, butterscotch or pistachio? He: I would say pistachio because sometimes the butterscotch is too sweet for some. Pistachio it was! So definitely inquire about the seasonal coffees because this was delicious! Great flavor and dark chocolate shavings on top. This helped keep me awake on my long drive home! Love that they're local! Also bought The Colores blend which they happily ground for me, and it is really good! Mellow flavor with a hint of dark chocolate finish. I now have a great spot to stop at if in the area and in need. They have great outdoor seating that's dog friendly, and a nice dining area.

We visited Carlsbad for a few days and had breakfast in Oceanside. We decided to try this coffee…read morespot as it was right next to the breakfast joint we went to. Coffee 10/10 We ordered their vanilla latte with marshmallow cold foam and their coconut latte with toasted coconut cold foam. Both were incredible! The vanilla latte was not too sweet so the cold foam wasn't overkill at all. Both cold foams are more on the runny side and not too thick. The coconut latte was sooo tasteful. The coconut flavor definitely comes through. This was our first time trying a coconut latte and we were not disappointed. Food 9/10 We didn't order much food or pastries since we had breakfast prior but the pastries did look so good! We did get a salted shortbread to try and it was pretty solid. Vibes/Ambiance : 7/10 We came on a Tuesday morning and it was busy. The space is very spacious and there's plenty of seating area. There were people working there and hanging out. It's an open space so that was nice. The decor is minimal but cute. The staff is okay...I don't know if I'd describe as friendly, but they weren't rude. Not sure if it was the city as a whole but we didn't really feel welcomed or came across too many friendly people. It was the same here. Didn't interact much with us...just took our order and kept it pushing. lol not necessarily a bad thing but it was something we experienced a lot. Overall, the coffee was amazing here.
