our cafe is a direct representation of our love and passion for coffee, community, and the partners we work with to source amazing coffee.
Our space is designed to inspire people to explore and experience the entire coffee journey and the many hands around the world that are involved in the production. We hope inspire people with the entire narrative of the coffee they are enjoying.
We roast all of our coffee in house on a 10kg Mill City Roaster at our OB Beans location, creating exceptional blends and single origins for both our shop and wholesale for several other shops and restaurants around San Diego and Orange County. Our coffee bar features an array of espresso and specialty drinks, along with direct trade pour overs, teas, and local pastries.

Our mission is to do as much good as possible from farm to cup while helping people experience and enjoy high quality, fresh roasted, specialty coffee.
We build partnerships with coffee farmers around the world to source high quality, specialty coffee beans helping them sustain and grow their businesses and support their families and communities. We then small batch roast the coffee here in Ocean Beach and donate back a portion of our proceeds to nonprofits and causes we care about in our community. By helping people think slightly differently about something they consume every day, we believe we can do a lot of good together.
OB Beans was inspired by a friend of ours in Mazatlán, Mexico who does a lot of humanitarian and missions work with people living in the dumps surrounding the city. He has a model where he launched a coffee roastery and several cafes around the city that helped supplement most of his community work. Not only did it fund his passion of helping people in poverty, but it also gave him an opportunity to connect with, and provide jobs for, people in the community. He seemed to create so much good with something so simple. Inspired by this, we came back to San Diego and began to dream about what it would look like to launch something similar in Ocean Beach to support the non-profits we were passionate about, and create a lot of good in our community.
In July of 2015, OB Beans officially launched and we started roasting in our garage and selling in local farmers markets, online, and at events. In October of 2015 we went on our first sourcing trip to Oaxaca, Mexico to meet the farmers of one of our specialty coffees. Since that trip our team has taken multiple sourcing trips to El Salvador, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Tanzania, Uganda and Ethiopia. In June of 2016 we signed a lease for a retail and production location on Newport Ave, in the heart of Ocean Beach, to house our roasting operations, coffee bar, and a large community seating space. In May of 2017 we received our “A” and opened our doors for the first time to the public so everyone could experience and enjoy high quality specialty coffee and connect with our mission of Doing Good, from Farm to Cup.
