First of all, the place just looks dope. Before you even get to the coffee, the whole setup already has you in a good mood. The outdoor seating is formidable in the best way: tables, chairs, open air, and that good old Ocean Beach energy doing what OB does. It's a whole vibe. Jon and Sam were super dope brothers -- welcoming, kind, and clearly serious about what they do without making it feel pretentious. So naturally, as a self-appointed connoisseur of vibes and flavor, I had to test the monthly special: a bagel with ube and a latte with taro. Now let me be clear: I do not normally like ube or taro. That was the test. And somehow, these guys made me question my entire position. The strawberry cream ube on the bagel was amazing -- sweet, smooth, balanced, and way better than I expected. Then the latte came through with that taro flavor adding another layer without overpowering the coffee itself. The coffee was already delicious, but the taro gave it this unexpected little plot twist. And because details matter: the bathroom? Exquisite. Clean, thoughtful, and way nicer than it had to be -- which tells me they care about the whole experience, not just what's on the menu. Great people, great flavors, great OB energy. I came in skeptical about ube and taro, and left humbled. read more

Spill the Beans has completely ruined every other coffee shop for me. I'm here every single morning, and there's a reason. The bagels are larger, fluffier, and have this perfect subtle sweetness -- rumor has it they're boiled in agave syrup, and honestly, it shows. The Lox, Stock & Bagel hits different when the bagel itself is this good, and the McLovin is worth every bite too. The rotating selection keeps it fresh enough that I genuinely look forward to switching it up. Then there's the Basic Sitch -- don't let the name fool you. Best Caramel Macchiato I've had anywhere. Period. If you haven't been yet, you're missing out. And if you have, you already know. read more

I love that they opened spill the beans right down the street from me. I would drive to the other spots for the best jalapeño cream cheese bagel, It's addicting. Coffee is great too! read more

Who would have thought this cute little drive through spot offers such killer bagel sandwiches? My husband and I needed sustenance before making our way to the Zoo Safari Park and rolled up to this gem. we opted for: - a medium iced OTP - cold brew on tap, cinnamon simple syrup and oat milk - a bacon, egg and cheese on a habanero bagel + avocado - traditional bacon, egg and cheese on a plain bagel ....and OMG! So, So good!! My coffee was the perfect blend of sweetness to coffee, and the sandwiches were HUGE - freshly made eggs with thick cut bacon and an entire avocado - absolutely delicious!! We both ate half of our sandwiches before feeling like we were going to burst! While it was a little pricy (1 coffee + 2 Sammie's = $50!), it was worth it and I'd totally return! read more

Have it a second shot. Still Medicare at best. I was hoping for something a bit fresher, but the bagels didn't seem like they were made that day--they had a slightly stale texture that took away from the experience. The sausage also tasted more like a standard frozen, store-bought option rather than something made in-house, which made the sandwich feel pretty average. That said, the matcha latte was definitely a highlight. It was well-made, smooth, and flavorful, and easily the best part of the meal. The place itself has potential, but I think the food quality--especially freshness--could use some improvement to really stand out. read more

I visited twice when in OB for the week. I like how you can just walk up to the counter and order. Service was good both times. First time I tried the strawberry lemonade and it was really good! I wanted it again on the second visit, but they were out of it at 8 am. Only other option was orange juice and I declined. The blueberry muffin is sooo good! The cream cheese is very flavorful as well, we even got some to take back to Vegas. I'm not a fan of the bagels. They are too dense and chewy for my liking. I even tried to make them super crispy in the air fryer and didn't really make a difference. read more

Excellent food, great people and the very best place to get some food and drinks! Thanks crew!

First things first, these ladies rock! Service was great. It was my first time, they offered all the options from cold foam to sandwhiches. They had monthly specials for February I think one is chocolate covered strawberries iced coffee and then some sort of matcha! I ordered just a drip coffee and a sandwich with Sun Diegggoo sandwich with pizza bagel. It was by far, the best bagel sandwhich I've had in a long time! My sister-in law got a chocolate covered strawberry ice coffee. They have a nice seating area bar kinda and side of the building seating. The area is quiet and calm. I would say it wasn't busy. They had to go orders and food took a minute to come out, but was worth the wait! read more

Sandos made to order here so fresh bagels and ingredients of your choice! Charming, helpful, polite staff! Beans are so good!

Ordered the San Dieggo bagel sandwich, it was super tasty at first....until I got to the hair stuck between the eggs and bacon. Decided to stick it out since I was hungry, until I found the second hair and spit the rest of the sandwich out. Usually finding hairs isn't the worst thing in the world (yes its gross but we're only human) but more than one suggests there's more. Needless to say, ill be eating elsewhere. Also, the chick with short hair working the front was rude off the get go. Who tells people they don't serve iced coffee at a coffee shop. There are better mom and pop places in ob, try Bellas or Vals. read more

Spill The Beans - The second hair I found. Yum. ‍ - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

Really bummed about our visit today. We came in at 11:25 AM and they were already out of bagels, which was the whole reason we stopped by. I was really looking forward to trying them. It seems like they need to be better prepared and stocked for the weekend rush so customers aren't disappointed. read more

This is a cute little drive-thru coffee shop. I went through the drive-thru, as I left I saw another side/window for walk up ordering and some outdoor seating. Service- 5/5 She was kind, helpful, professional, and had a chill vibe (which I appreciated). I had like 20 questions. Coffee- 5/5 I had the blonde mocha which was delicious; not too sweet, and the coffee was tasty. Bagel- 5/5 San Dieggo BBLt They were both scrumptious, they didn't skimp out on the bacon either. Bagels were fluffy, lightly crunchy, and soft on the inside. Prices- I bought 3 bagel sandwiches and an iced coffee and paid $50. I paid for quality and was satisfied/full. I feel like that's the going rate for fast food in this economy. I will definitely be back to try the assortment of bagels, spreads, and more coffee. Side note: This place only accepts card. I didn't have my card and only had cash. The worker went inside to ask if they'll accept and they did. Now I know for next time, thanks for helping me out! My photo isn't the best, I wanted to take a photo before I finished it. San Dieggo with bacon and white cheddar bagel. read more

Spill The Beans - Sam Dieggo. Not the best photo, but I was hungry and it was delicious! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Diego, California

Choice overload for sure! The menu is a feats and feast for the eyes. Appreciate the drive through and walk up option. Walked up to this morning, and was overwhelmed with choices. Wanted a matcha, but theirs comes presweetened, soooo ended up trying the "basic witch" seasonal latte, which I think is supposed to have pumpkin spice in it, I say that, but I don't taste any. The staff was friendly. Won't be a regular spot for me, but liked that they were open early. read more

Friendly employees, pretty good coffee and pretty good bagels, but GTFOH with these prices. Spent $30 for a bagel and a coffee. What a fkn joke. Go next door to the donut shop and get a better breakfast bagel for like $10. read more

It's been about 40 bucks on four bagels. Two breakfast sandwiches to cream cheese style. Bagels. Flavor on items was pretty good, but bagels were dense. It did not taste fresh whatsoever. To pay for bagels that you're not planning on eating. After not liking the bagel. I'm going to spilled the Beans for a couple years. Now I even rock their merch but I won't be going back to the OB location. read more

Love this coffee shop. I'm so glad they opened one closer to my house. The staff are so friendly and the coffee and all the food is so good. I love the variety of bagel and cream cheese options. You can even order online, park quickly next door and pick it up. So easy. read more

Worst bagel ever. Thought they were fresh so I did not have it toasted and I got a soggy everything bagel. Coffee was tasteless. At least the servers were nice. read more

I ordered an iced oat milk chagaccino and a thighmaster on sesame The chagaccino was a delight. Absolutely fire. Gas. Yum city. I felt like emmet in the first scene of the Lego movie. #everything is awesome. THEN I opened up the behemoth that is the thighmaster. JEEEEZ I was sweating. I had to take it home and eat it with a knife and fork. I also wasn't expecting the sheer amount of garlic aioli oozing out of the sides and making the bagel eating experience sloppy as heck. Let's put it this way- the flavors were all there and good. But the assembly was goopy. I the thesaurus. Turns out there is such a thing as TOO MUCH SAUCE. I thank God for this food, and I hope next time I have more napkins, amen. read more

This place was amazing! I ordered the McLovin on a pretzel bagel and added a hash brown to it. One of the best breakfast bagels I have had. Give it a try read more

Coffee very good, man who took order pleasent, women who handed off the Coffee unpleasant.

Not my favorite cup of coffee ever, but to be fair I did get it with almond milk and sometimes that makes a huge difference. The service here is amazing and made a world of difference! They were all so kind. Although I didn't love my coffee I would 100% go back to try a tea, an energy drink, or one of those amazing looking bagels! read more

They don't take cash. I'm not sure that's even legal and it certainly is not customer friendly. Take cash or I'm out!

This is for the Ocean Beach location. Check your cameras at about 9:05 this morning. You'll see a gentleman waiting for about 5 minutes and never being acknowledged. Especially by the blonde gal with the headphones on. Another lady comes up behind me and is greeted and even helped BEFORE me. I didn't make a fuss. I just turned around and left. If you don't want my money, some other place will. Coffee and Plants were just the opposite and they were even busier than this place. Highly disrespectful. Maybe put up a sign or something to let people know who you serve and don't serve. read more

Here is an honest review from actual breakfast enthusiast that had tried everything in Ocean Beach. This place took a while to begin as it was originally some type of drive thru bank of something then newly renovated to a gentrified "woke" drive thru coffee spot. I tried this place three times to really understand it before writing something. Here's the catch, you may think it would be faster service because of the drive thru experience, but you WILL wait. *Slow service *Apparently the grill is off at 3pm but they close at 4pm? So no breakfast sandos after 3pm guess. *Most of the bagels look store bought for some reason but claim to be made in house. *A bit over priced- a bagel with butter costs $5+ I feel like OB really dropped the ball here allowing this mockery, trying to mask their whole operation with "stoner" lingo, this place doesn't understand bagel/breakfast culture, but they want to so bad. Instead of trying to be quirky maybe focus on speed and quality. Overall the location is prime, and the hours are long which is great. Looking forward to seeing how they improve over time. read more

Great breakfast bagel sandwich. Fresh and tasty. Fast and friendly service. Glad to have this spot in town.

Great bagels and coffee. Loved my Toffeenut Mocha iced coffee! Service was spot on and environment was nice and clean. Thank you!

They ran out of bagels and breakfast sandwiches but they sounded good. Had the Basic Stitch coffee and had great taste, it could've been a little hotter but good enough. Will definitely stop here again when I'm in town. read more

Never coming back here. Waited in the drive thru line for 45 minutes for a selection of 3 bagels. Horrible place

Fave coffee and bagel spot in Ocean Beach!! My go to is an iced Aztec mocha and the thigh master bagel sandwich. SO GOOD!! Service is super quick and everyone is friendly. Definitely passes the vibe check can't wait to go back next week read more

This place is just OK. It cost $20 for a bagel sandwich and an iced tea. They don't pretend that they sell a New York bagel, which is a plus. Still, everything is dressed up to be super extra. I won't be back. read more

So happy we have a Spill The Beans in Ocean Beach! The staff is so friendly & has the best recommendations! Also our go-to spot for pup cups

I got the OTP because it's cold brew and I wanted something a little stronger than a latte. This thing came out SO light in color and tasted like water. It's clearly all milk, sad morning. read more

Absolutely loved everything about this place! Service was amazing, Savannah was so nice and helpful. She recommended I put avocado on the San Diego bagel. Total game changer! Will definitely be coming back soon! read more

Sooooo yummmmy !!! Highly recommend the blue raspberry energy drink if you aren't a coffee drinker -- Kim was very sweet & helpful
