Switched from our usual cafe elysa since 4th of July crowds were crazy. No problems parking, found seats for our group of 4 easily. Very happy with the variety of vegan options and outdoor seating. Service was lovely, quick friendly and efficient. read more

When visiting from LA, I now know where to get my coffee en route to San Diego. Let's cut to the chase: The cortado was excellent. It revealed the superb quality of their espresso with just a light helping of whole milk. My non-coffee-drinking buddy shockingly ordered the pistachio mocha latte, which he utterly consumed with no objections. My other friend got the matcha, which tantalized me from the sidelines (*I'll have to try it next time). Now for the setting: great lighting, chill and pleasant vibes, comfortable seating and tables. Not least although last in mentions, the people working here are true gems. Genuine folks who go the extra mile. If I had a say in the matter, the employees, managers, and maybe even the owners should get a pay raise. Hands down 10/10 read more

We love trying new local coffee shops, and decided to pop into the Vista Bean on a Monday afternoon. Lots of parking here, the interior of the space is airy and bright with lots of natural lighting and many tables. It would be a good place to sit and get a few hours of work done. however, only a few tables have access to a socket so keep that in mind . They also have a fun little assortment of items you can shop for, including handwoven baskets, coffee paraphernalia, and other merchandise. They have pastries and prepackaged snacks, some of which were gluten-free, which is always appreciated. I got a iced strawberry Matcha, and it was very good. They use ceremonial grade Matcha and a yummy strawberry jam/purée spread. It takes a little bit to mix it into the iced Matcha, but once you blend it in there, as I did, it was really tasty. The staff was very friendly as well! Overall, really enjoyed my drink and the good vibes, and would love to come back. read more

I looove that their coffee is organically farmed and processed in Uganda, then locally roasted in Vista, CA with a simple mission, "Love Coffee. Love People More". I'm all about spreading some LOVIN'. It's greaaat that Vista Bean is passionate about connecting people. When I walked in for my first time, the coffee shop was bright and spacious with positive vibes. The staff were really helpful when I had questions. I left satisfied with my latte. The sweetness was pretty balanced which is not the typical case for me. I was open to it and can't wait to go back to try something new. This is definitely a recommended spot for the Yelp Community :-) read more

We came in to try out their coffee. The menu is small for food (pastries) but a decent size listing for coffee. You can add syrups to your liking. There is one register running so be patient. My husband ordered the drip and I had a decaf americano. Additional costs to adding syrups and alternative milks. Coffee was good. Ethically sourced. We brought our own cups which takes $0.10 off your order. You can enter a phone number for points if you are going to continue to come here. Looks like a great space for catching up with friends or co-working. Parking can be limited if busy. read more

- huge lot with its own parking and a massive interior! Perfect for studying/working - they had fun seasonal offerings and a solid coffee menu - I got the honey bunches of coffee ($6.25 for 12 oz) which has marshmallow and pecan syrup - it's a very sweet drink so the espresso gets kinda covered, I mainly tasted the vanilla-y marshmallow flavor not so much the pecan read more

Vista Bean is a very unique coffee shop that is committed to supporting the people and community of Uganda. All of their coffee is organically farmed and 100% of the money goes to their farmers, that's amazing! I ordered a simple cold brew with coconut cold foam and I can taste the richness of the coffee beans, probably one of the best cold brews I've had. This little shop is located right before the freeway so I definitely suggest checking this place out for your next pit spit, there is plenty of parking and seating options inside. I didn't try any of their food options, although everything looked great-- especially the pastries. My only critic is I wish the barista was a little more friendly with a welcome, and a little loud and clear when I was asking for recommendations. I didn't feel like my presence was acknowledged. read more

I started simple with an iced latte and it was great. Service was stellar and there is a very nice patio with a water view if you have a couple minutes to hang out and relax. Getting into the parking lot is a little tricky but doable with a touch of patience and well worth it. Enjoy!!! read more

Love the new spring options and can't wait to try them all! Ordered the banana bread latte with oatmilk and wow. So good!! Trying the raspberry white mocha next! read more

Another must try coffee shop in Oceanside! This place is pretty big and has a nice size parking lot. It is a little difficult driving into the parking lot since it is so close to the on ramp to get on the 78 and the 15 south. We went around noon and we had to do a couple loops before there was not traffic blocking the entrance. Oh and we were coming from the 78. If coming from the coast, it should be a lot better. Even though there was ample parking, it was full. Hunters steakhouse is next door and I kinda got the feeling that the coffee shops lot is being used as overflow. There wasnt too many people inside. I love when coffee shops have seasonal drinks on top of their regular coffee. I got the honey bunches of oats latte with oat milk which was made of marshmellow and praline flavors. My husband got the maple pancake cold brew along with regular drip coffee. It was all so delicious. The drip coffee didn't even need sweetener! The ambience was nice. More upbeat than the other chill coffee spots. I can see it as a good hangout spot to get coffee with friends! read more

Cinnamon rolls the best one and vegan! Always fresh. Nice location and people working there.

Came here to work remote, and I'm happy to know that I will be coming back to either work remote again or bring friends and family. There are a handful of chairs and tables, and it's not too loud inside. I got the iced white mocha latte and a ham and cheese croissant, both very good but heads up on the croissant it is very flaky. The girls working are also very kind :) read more

Dear Yelp Community, I visited this shop for the first time today. Great location/visibility, spacious venue, ample parking, indoor and outdoor seating, and friendly staff. Ambiance is positive with good window lighting, high ceilings, and a view of the lagoon. Staff shared information about the mission of the company. I enjoyed the seasonal pop tart! Continued well wishes. Sincerely, Anna read more

Another coffee shop that I've been driving by forever and finally my husband and I decided to stop in on our way to downtown SD. So happy we went! They have a great parking lot, so it's pretty easy to get in and out of, and they have a great amount of indoor seating. Perfect place to study, meet up with friends and family, or work for a few hours. As soon as I saw ceremonial grade matcha on the menu, I knew what I had to order. I ordered their ceremonial iced matcha with lavender syrup and almond milk and it was perfect! I could drink this all day long as they did a fantastic job. My husband ordered a hazelnut latte and my goodness it was delicious. I love a great balance in a drink, usually not too sweet but not bitter either, and his hazelnut latte was just the right balance. I was honestly amazed at how good it was. He claimed it's the best latte he's had in years. Both of our drinks were so good! I noticed they had some gf/vegan options of pastries too. As soon as I saw the blueberry lemon scone, I knew I needed to try it. It looked as good as it tastes! I loved it, and it's not noticeable as being gf/vegan when tasting it/the texture of it, but if you aren't used to gf/vegan baked goods, you may notice the slight difference. Delicious flavor overall! read more

A great family owned coffee shop in the heart of Oceanside right off the freeway! The service was Super friendly, fast and kind! The baristas looked like they LOVE their job. There are some coffee shops that you go to that baristas look like they have been dragged there to work. You know exactly what I am talking about..... Right?! Well not at this place! The baristas were talking so highly of the owners and the owners were not even in the coffee shop. Anyways, if you ever need to go to a charging station, give this place a visit! read more

We bumped into this spot looking for a brunch spot. The environment is nice and calm. They had an interesting beverage in the menu that I just had to try. Uncle B Mexican Cocoa. Be warned it is a hot drink and I don't mean "hot" steaming hot I mean as in my stomach will feel it later get me down milk kinda deal. JC. Its not that spicy but it is spiced for sure. Servir was great. I asked the barista what was in the cocoa and she warned. Cayenne. Perfect got it. Try it out. read more

Fun new coffee spot in Oceanside. The interior is spacious and the large windows let in a lot of natural light. There is a good amount of seating and a good amount of parking. We ordered the Vista mule and a cappuccino. The cappuccino was perfect, not too littles or too much milk foam. The Vista mule was a fun latte with just a little kick. The service was friendly and a lot of attention went into crafting quality drinks. read more

I rate this coffee an 8 out of 10. My latte was a little sour I believe this is from the espresso they use. The cinnamon roll was yummy!! My daughter loved her chocolate croissant. I also purchased a bag of espresso and it wasn't the greatest it was fair. Good service, a lot of parking. Open space for seating. read more

Vista Bean Coffee - salty coco is awesome and honey lavender is a greatly balanced - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Oceanside, California

I stopped on a Saturday morning on my way into San Diego, and I wanted a treat. I Yelped local coffee shops on my way, and stumbled upon this Vista Bean Coffee. The interior design is modern and inviting. The staff was friendly. I tried their cortado and their Mexican Hot Chocolate. The cortado was up there as far as taste. I loved it. The Mexican Hot Chocolate was unique as they use cayenne pepper. I thought it was nice that the staff member let me know it was spicy to make sure it was something I would actually like. I love spicy flavors, and really enjoyed it. The portions are fair, and I looked at their coffee bean bags, I felt they were comparable to other coffee shops I've frequented as well. Highly recommend . read more

Very cute coffee shop. I love the decor and all of the plants. Shannon was very friendly and explained the menu well. Their iced peppermint tea was very good, and they have a lot of syrup flavors to choose from. I will come back the next time that I am in North County. God bless! read more

Lots of drink and food choices. Great open space with plenty of seats and tables to hang out comfortably. Cold brew on nitro is what got me in the door and it tasted delicious. I did NOT enjoy ice being added since it kind of broke down the creaminess of the nitro and watered down the coffee as time went on. Getting in and out of the parking lot can be tricky because if you go too far the last driveway is blocked off to prevent traffic mishaps with the freeways, so just make sure you don't go too far. read more

had to try out the new coffee shop in the area. might be a bit difficult to get to, but the parking is pretty spacious, and there's a few more spots behind the shop. I liked the open space and plenty of light even with the cloudy weather. there's a bunch of tables and chairs, with a few outlets along the walls. the drip was good but my partner got a triple espresso and even though it had a good taste profile it was a bit watery for a triple shot. either way we'll definitely be back for drip, and maybe even get a pastry next time :) the baristas were quick and nice too! read more

Stopped by Vista Bean Coffee and loved how calm and inviting the space felt..clean, minimal, and just the right amount of cozy. The coffee beans sourced from Uganda was the perfect blend of flavors and richness..exactly what I needed, but what really stood out was the service. Shannon, the barista, was warm and welcoming. She made the whole experience feel a little more personal. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm in Oceanside again. read more

Shoutout to the barista who opened on 3/1. They really put their barista back into my drink cause this Americano was made perfectly . I've worked in coffee for over 5 years and hands down one of the best coffee shops I've been too in the area. I go here every time I drive back to Ventura from San Diego. You can actually taste the espresso notes, like okayyy we see you vista bean coffee ‍ Please come here if you actually want good quality coffee and no Starbucks quality bs. Plus don't even get me started on the cinnamon rolls...... 10/10 read more

My friend and I were delighted with this coffee house with an important mission.
