Company Description

This is a coffee shop that casually shrugs off "corporate creep" with a confident belief that whatever the "big guys" may do, The Nautical Bean does better.Long before the caffeine craze hit the United States with dizzying speed, Nautical Bean Coffee Company owner John Alvarez had discovered that the secret to staying one step ahead of encroaching, big-business competition was to provide an educational environment for everyone.By attending trade and food shows, traveling to The world-class Greenwell Estate in Kona, Hawaii and The La Minita Estate in Costa Rica, and providing informational pamphlets on almost all of his thirty in-house, whole-bean coffees, John has acquired the knowledge needed to sustain The Bean’s reputation as a coffee house that guarantees its customers will not leave without first understanding why they have chosen the globe’s finest roasts.Everyday since May of 1994, the early morning silence along the water stirs with the sound of Jamaican Blue Mountain Wallenford Estate, Kona Extra Fancy Greenwell Estate and six other daily specialty coffees grinding and percolating. The morning harbor air is thick with the intoxicating aromas of the Nautical Bean.That magical scent consistently charms both locals and tourists into stopping in, only to find that they’ve discovered the best cup of coffee, the best coffee education and most amazing entertainment in town.
