A beachside cafe, a few steps from Crystal Pier. Family-run since 1998, pouring the best mocha in the US, proper Turkish coffee, and a pastry or two for the boardwalk.
"I first discovered Pacific Bean when my daughter was just a baby. My daughter is 10 now, I don't live in the area anymore but I still go there from time to time and 10 years later their coffee is still delicious."
"The Mudslide Mocha made me understand what mocha is supposed to be."
"Steps away from the ocean. Perfect beach cafe. Friendly to dogs, friendly to humans."
"The Turkish ice cream alone is worth the drive from La Jolla."
Mochas, espresso, drip, pour-over — the backbone of Pacific Bean.
