Daffodils will naturalize but on the coast, tulips need more winter chill and must be dug up and (no joke) refrigerated each year.
That's all that comes to mind.
ETA I've never heard of coffee, tea or tobacco being grown here. In tobacco's case, it's probably possible. One season I planted some annual Nicotiana, which is a relative, and it did just okay.
