We stopped here for breakfast on Saturday morning around 9:30am because we were staying at the…read moremotel across the street, and we enjoyed the breakfast. It wasn't the quickest option because there was one person rolling dough off to the side and one person handling everything else including making the food and taking orders, so I would expect to wait. If you have the time though, the breakfast bagel sandwiches were good and they also have a chocolate zucchini loaf that we also bought. The bagels tasted fresh and the sandwiches were very filling. I didn't add anything to my bagel (beyond the cream cheese, tomato, and avocado that was included in the breakfast bagel), but my boyfriend added bacon and it was a generous amount. The chocolate zucchini loaf is honestly more of a cake and quite a bit sweeter than other zucchini bread I've tried. If you're looking for a denser chocolate cake with little flecks of green, it's great. They also offered samples, and we bought the chocolate zucchini loaf because we enjoyed the sample. There isn't anywhere to sit inside but there are a couple of tables outside on the patio. Only a couple of them had umbrellas, and unfortunately we were at one without an umbrella, but it wasn't too bad since it was earlier in the day. This is definitely a more casual place, and worth going to if you have some extra time to spend and it's convenient to you.

Should Have Known Better…read more.... I've been to the Nautical Bean on Los Osos Valley Road a few times since my review in March 2026 and each visit earned 4 or 5 stars. Not bad! But I went back on Monday, June 8th and had a very different experience. I ordered 2 small cups of hot chai with extra foam, extra hot and 1/2 sweet. When they were done, both were "heavy" meaning they felt like there was no foam. I checked and yup...no foam. I mentioned it to the barista who said "no problem. I'll do them over". They were done quickly, but still felt "heavy". I didn't want to go back and figured "it's just me". I got into my car and tried one. It was 90% the same as before. She simply scraped a sliver of the drink off the top and added a touch of foam. Plus...the liquid was "thin" meaning she nearly scalded the drink to get it hot. The 2nd chai was the same way. And the shop wasn't even busy at the time. Everyone at the Nautical Bean is friendly and the vibe is great, but next time I'll take my own advice...even if that means going back to the barista twice to get things right.

Oh, one not so good thing, no more BAGEL DOGS! Robert B. /Business Mgr, bring Bagel Dogs back please! Okay...Saul is gone, BUT a new STAR is born, yep... it's Matt. Matt/Mgr. is all about pleasing the Customer...going above and beyond in Customer Service! Pleasant, professional with a smile on his face...I hope to see Matt for years to come. Thank-you Matt for making my Einstein Bros. Bagels visit one to remember. As we discussed, I can buy a Bagel anywhere...but your customer service is what makes the Patron return again and again. The decor is spartan yet appealing. They sell various food products (seems like more than before) like Cheeses, Cold Cut Meats, Hummus and Wraps. Some Produce, fresh cut Flowers, House Plants, Milk, Eggs, Chips, Cookies in an Einstein Bros. Bagels Cup, Drinks and various ready to eat dishes. And of course...there's the Bagels (all kinds of 'em...but get there early, cause they go fast), Eggs Sandwiches (on a Bagel), Signature Lunch Sandwiches (on a Bagel), Cold Brew Drinks, Coffees and Espresso beverages. I decided on and ordered the All-Nighter (5/5). Two Cage-Free Eggs, Bacon, Two Slices American Cheese, Smoky Chipotle Aioli on a Cheesy Hash Brown Gourmet Bagel. FREAKIN WOW!!! This "monster of a Bagel Egg Sandwich"is a must try. Literally blew me away. Nothing about this location detracted from my fabulous repeat experience (except no Bagel Dogs...I would have bought several to go, regardless of cost, because alas...no one seems to have them anymore) and so on this occasion, in this Yelper's opinion...Einstein Bros. Bagels in SLO truly earned this "highly recommend" 5Star review! Thank-you Matt and all Associates for being Einstein Bros. Bagels FABULOUS!

It only takes 3-4 people deep and you're out the door waiting to order watching the patio goers eat. There should've been an offset inside, or another method. People are half-in/half-out the doors, awkward and a no-goer. The HOB's self-placed photos are taken from the doorway and show this space issue. 2. There's a 'bread-making' service of sorts where people can learn to make bread or other items taught by staff. It's a show of sorts, all fun of course - Until this happens - Watching the food preppers, they're disorganized and G.E.D. grads at best - They dumped the utensils directly onto the plate and into my pancake syrup and served the plate like this without a clue. In addition, due to the disorganization of the preppers, the food is not delivered hot; a deal-killer for breakfast food. I would ditch the side-show bread theater until the preppers are trained well, or hire better perhaps. 3. It is a nice atmosphere for sure; but these organic issues are hard to ignore. There does not seem to be awareness by the staff that the entrance is problematic; and complete unawareness of the unaware food preppers and their competency. Food is good, place is clean, potential is great, superb airport proximity. More attention please and stars will go up in a hurry.
