Founded in July 2015 and operating from a 2,700-square-foot Newport Avenue retail-and-roastery space since May 2017, OB Beans Coffee Roasters is the only on-site coffee roasting operation in Ocean Beach. A 10kg Mill City Roaster sits visible behind the counter producing single-origin and blended profiles from direct-trade sourcing trips to El Salvador, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, and Oaxaca, with green coffee imported through specialty trading houses including InterAmerican Coffee and Global Coffee Trading — a vertically integrated bean program separate from the matcha-and-loose-leaf focus at Ultreya Coffee and Tea on Sunset Cliffs Boulevard. Wholesale roasting supplies multiple shops and restaurants across San Diego County and Orange County, with bag delivery subscription available for home customers throughout the region. The coffee bar pulls direct-trade pour-overs, espresso drinks, waffles, açaí bowls, and teas alongside local pastries, served across multiple seating zones (high tables, low tables, couch, outdoor patio) that draw a steady remote-work crowd. A percentage of profits goes to nonprofit partners including Ride for Water — a clean-water organization founding partners have done origin trips with — alongside Young Life community programming, layering charitable giving onto the retail program in a different lane than the dessert-counter retail focus at Beach Sweets further up Newport. Origin sourcing trips, on-site small-batch drum roasting, multi-county wholesale supply, the published Doing Good farm-to-cup mission, and shared 2,700-square-foot space with Wailua Shave Ice (the Hawaiian shave-ice operator) make the 4879 Newport address the only OB cafe operating across the full specialty coffee supply chain from green bean import to barista pour.
