Nice coffee shop in Ocean Beach. Very spacious with lots of seating which is great for those who was to do a little work. I love their blueberry hibiscus tea here. Coffee is also solid. Street parking only which can be competitive depending on when you go. Staff is always so nice. read more

I was really looking forward to trying the espresso here but it was honestly okay for me. I got an iced americano and to be quite honest, it tasted very acidic and almost soapy at the same time. I've had better americanos elsewhere. So it didn't meet my expectations. I did also try the breakfast burrito, and it was pretty good. Is it the best? No, but it definitely got the job done. My boyfriend and I split the banana bread as well. And that was fabulous!!!!! So yummy. read more

Pretty cool spot. The inside is way bigger than it looks on the outside. Right when we walked in, the line was pretty long, but went by pretty quick. Staff were also super friendly. I got the cold brew with cold foam and breakfast burrito. The burrito was okay. read more

The service was fast and friendly. They even offer seltzer water with their cortados, which is great for a pallet cleanser between sips. The cortado was well balanced, smooth, and delicious. No bitterness at all. The vibe is very chill. All of the baristas are OB to the core and very chill. They offer indoor and outdoor seating which I love. read more

A coworker recommended this spot so we decided to check it out. Ordered a black coffee, caramel latte and a spinach pastry. We really enjoyed the pastry and the latte was serviced in what looks to be a homemade pottery cup which was a nice touch. The place is huge inside and I'm glad they open early unlike most coffee shops. The vibes were perfect, nice soft music playing and the employees were very welcoming and pleasant . Will definitely go back. read more

Service was friendly and the americano was okay. Alot of people here studying or working on their laptops, more of a quiet atmosphere.

this used to be my favorite coffee shop but over the past few months i have noticed that the quality has been going down. They stopped making their homemade caramel syrup, they are always out of products. The other day I tried to order four of my favorite things and they couldn't make any of them because they were out of everything i wanted. The vibe is also off. This used to be such a cool community and now it doesn't feel like that anymore. And it is so sad. And I'm not the only regular who feels this way. read more

Just had a cold brew here so can't speak for their specialty drinks, but I really enjoyed the cold brew. Cute little vibe In here. would be a great spot to get some work or studying done for a nice change of scenery read more

Outstanding coffee! I took one sip of my latte and said "oh this is impeccable". The atmosphere is also great. The shop is MASSIVE and they have the roasting machine right there behind the bar. It's a very rustic look and it's very cozy. It's great for working from. A ton of people post up there with their laptops. There's outlets and plenty of tables. Also it's located in prime OB! read more

I haven't been here in years and the last time I went with my friend, I believe in 2020- I remember it was enjoyable and the workers mentioned there was no more stamp card usage (as in they've never seen it before in their life). Today I came with my brother. The interior was very spacious, although compared to last time there were a few tables missing from the interior. They are very dog friendly-- so many dogs were in there. But the owners were very aware of their pets so there were no fighting luckily. The workers (3 of them) were kind as well. I ordered an Iced Lavender Latte with Whole Milk (to go). It was quite milky, light, and the lavender flavor was very minimal. The syrup was $1 extra which I think is kind of wild especially if you can't taste it in the drink. Usually it's .50 or .75 additional. My brother ordered an Iced Matcha Latte with alternative milk (+ $1). The worker mentioned it comes presweetened. My brother said the drink was pretty milky as well. Overall, our drinks were milky and I don't think we will be coming back or recommending it to others as we used to. But who knows, they could have a drink you might enjoy so give it a try once and see what you think. They had a big menu and some drink specials, pastries, bagels, etc. read more

Cute laid back coffee shop with some unique flavors. Prices are priced high, parking is on street morning is fine night nothing open. Large area to sit and sip. All concrete so it gets loud. Ordered the cold brew with rosemary and cardamom syrup. I am trying to recreate that syrup. Will be back. read more

OB Beans Coffee Roasters is located on the main drag on Newport Avenue. Although in a busy part of OB, the coffee shop itself is calming. They have a huge interior space with plenty of areas to post up and study or catch up with friends. They have the standard variety of drinks, but what stands out are their breakfast items. Desperado Bagels can be purchased at OB Beans. They make breakfast sandwiches with them and also sell the bagels on their own. After seeing all the hype about them, I bought a half dozen ($20). I'm a little surprised by the hype around these bagels. They were okay. They molded almost instantly (within a day of me purchasing them). I feel like I have to give them another chance, because they recently scored really high on the San Diego Mag taste testing, but I was really surprised and almost felt like I had gotten duped and just gotten some random ones. read more

A very solid spot for coffee and light bites. Service was kind and the interior is spacious with plenty of seating. My boyfriend especially loved their latte with seasonal cold foams (maple and brown sugar cinnamon). We came back twice during our trip, which says a lot. I ordered an americano and an açaí bowl, both of which were good and fairly standard. The "best waffle ever" was unfortunately a little too sweet, as it was heavily covered in syrup. That aside, the açaí bowl was quite large for the price point, and the other food options looked promising. Overall, a great café to visit for coffee and more. read more

After dropping my bicycle at the shop I decided to take a walk over and grab a coffee. Originally asked for a cortado but after seeing their size the barista navigated me into getting their cappuccino with extra shots. Thank you for taking the time to make sure I got my moneys worth. It was cool to see the pictures from what I think from around the world while I waited. Cool esthetics. read more

Went to OB beans with high hopes based off reviews but the coffee I received is disgusting. The milk is chunky making it awful to drink. I also got Carmel but can't taste any. Finally just to top it off my brother in law ordered cold foam and they said he didn't so he also didn't get his cold foam. Overall bad experience and waste of time and money. read more

Solid spot to grab a breakfast bite. I really liked the space itself--lively local atmosphere and very spacious. I got the iced chai with earl grey cold foam--I thought the foam especially was delicious, and the chai was decent. I ordered the big kahuna too. The waffle was a little too sugary for my taste, as I was expecting something more savory. Also, the avocado wasn't very appetizing (see photo). I think the pricing was fair, and the staff was friendly. Good spot overall! read more

Steps from Ocean Beach coast and pier, OB Beans Coffee Roasters is a local farm-to-cup coffee shop and cafe bringing the caffeinated energy and a spacious interior work area with high-top, low-top tables, outlets for the multitude of people who be working/socially gathering between the concrete floors and exposed wood rafter ceiling. Gratitude journals are open for those who wish to express their appreciation. Props to whoever is controlling the music in here. SERVICE Order at the register, wait for staff to call your order. Patrons who state their order is "for here" get their drink orders in glassware versus plastic for take out orders. DRINKS I'd give the house made syrups a go when temperatures drop. 4.5/5 Latte, cold: whole milk with half decaf by request, half espresso shot. Exactly what I needed in the afternoon. 4.5/5 Cold brew: with half and half this kept me buzzing for hours 5/5 cold brew with lavender syrup: floral and sweet Late working patrons might get a Semisonic closing treat. read more

Just moved to San Diego and kind of a coffee snob.... With that being said OB roasters is by far one the best places in the entire United States!! Whoever is roasting the beans for the Costa Rican bag. I tipped my hat to you because you are a master in your craft!! For the past month and a half I stopped every week to buy a bag to have a fresh brew cup every morning and every sip is magical and delightful every day!! when I tell you, I thank you for your service I mean it!! read more

We stopped in on a Saturday morning around 9:00am. Parking is limited to diagonal parking spaces on both sides of the street, so hopefully you can find one. The inside was packed so we were expecting something amazing. However, it was far from it. It took about 20 minutes to get two drinks. People were walking around inside without shoes. The drinks themselves were subpar, nothing to be remembered by. Price wise, it was about the same as any other coffee place. read more

Super welcoming and very fast service but matcha was just straight milk. I'm usually very picky about my matcha and seeing someone else's matcha and how green it was made me think it was gonna be good but after ordering an iced matcha with oat milk and vanilla, it just tasted like vanilla oat milk. Haven't had the coffee yet but I DO NOT RECOMMEND THE MATCHA! read more

Stopped into this coffee shop after a day at Fiesta Island with the dogs. I specifically looked for a place with house made syrups, which is quite hard to find! But I saw a review where they make all their syrups in-house, so I thought I'd check it out for myself to make sure. There were several coffee places within the area. The interior was very spacious with lots of room for me and my dog to walk through. The employee working there today was very naturally friendly and told me all of their syrups were made in-house. There were several special drinks that looked good, but I went with a hot lavender latte to try their syrup. The drink was good and not sweet at all, which I liked (I usually say half sweet but I didn't, just to see how they made it since house-made syrups are usually less sweet). You could taste a subtle hint of lavender, but it wasn't overwhelming at all. I also liked that the drink didn't taste too milky. I look forward to coming back to trying another drink! read more

Macchiato is just ok but the atmosphere is nice and the staff are sweet and.... I LOVE that they have Fermensch Kombucha. I haven't had that since my time in Joshua tree and it's absolutely fabulous kombucha. read more

Craft coffee and yummy bagel breakfast sandwich with good spicy aioli!! Feels very local and not too crowded.

This community coffee shop is full of love. I saw real passion in the making of the drinks and food-- I saw a patron in a wheelchair with serious challenges get the most tender and respectful care and service imaginable from the team-- truly amazing. There was a tiny mixup with my order that included a fabulous acai bowl and " the best waffle ever". They noticed and fixed the issue with grace and generosity---this establishment and the people here'in are a local gem. Thank you OB Beans read more

This coffee shop has everything I hope for in a coffee spot - the atmosphere is calm and clean, the staff is friendly and the coffee was delicious.

Favorite coffee shop we visited on this recent trip to San Diego. My latte was perfect and my husband loved his coffee. I adore how this coffee shop, like everything else in ocean beach, is extremely dog friendly. There were probably like 9 dogs in the shop just hanging out with their owners which was so sweet. We loved it here and hope to return ! read more

Amazing coffee, great staff. Incredibly consistent and well-crafted beverages. Maybe the best iced mocha I've had and definitely my favorite coffee shop in San Diego. My only complaint is that I wish they didn't fill their cups to the point of overflowing. I appreciate as a consumer getting as much of my beverage as possible, but I wouldn't miss just a little bit less milk in my latte so that I'm not spilling on my hands while I walk from the counter to the table by the wall to get a lid. This is especially because the specific plastic cups that are used by the business have this little lip at the top that liquid can get trapped in if you don't wipe it clean before. And then when you go to sip your beverage, that little bit of coffee will escape and end up on your shirt. It's happened to me enough times that I'm extra careful to clean my cup up, but a first-time visitor may not know to do this. Regardless, I will return time and time again because of the quality, consistency, and care they approach service with. Love!! read more

When I ask for heavy cream and you tell me yes you have heavy cream and I order heavy cream cappuccino and get milk it turns my weekend morning to shit. The line was very long and I was very specific and ordered 40 dollars of coffee drinks and nobody seems to care. That's annoying. Especially when you charge extra for heavy cream. I know it's a first world problem but I'm the kind of person who really goes out of my way to make sure people have things the way they love them and I guess I should quit expecting the same. Most annoying is that a few days prior someone at ob beans made an excellent heavy cream cap for me so we were all looking forward to that great yummy coffee experience again. read more

This was the second visit Totally 5 stars I was given a 15$ gift card after the first visit. Customer service and the coffee was prepared with care and cleanliness!! I forgot to apply my 5$ birthday reward therefore, the payment was short 75 cents , I left my purse in the car , the friendly the cashier used cash from the tip jar and gladly finished the transaction. I placed order was to go . I returned with a handful of change, and a tip . I told the young lady - slender blonde that wore blue Jean overalls -sorry I didn't notice her name tag . that I really appreciate what she did. I live inland and this will be my new coffee spot whenever, I see my acupuncturist. read more
