This spot is a gem of the central coast! The food is amazing and consistently delicious and the staff is so kind and helpful. We love to take our kids here and enjoy brunch on their beautiful outdoor patio.

I am a very picky foodie and I LOVE eating variety of high quality, healthy, tasty food. So I am not a Mac and cheese or steak and potato type. Having said that…Holy Moly!This place has such a different twist to what they do. First, my wife can’t have any gluten, so that eliminates most flower products. She is always sad that she can’t just have a delicious waffle, well everything they do here is all ORGANIC and Gluten Free!!We ordered the fruit topping on the blue corn waffle, 10 out of 10! The fruit was fresh and the home made whip cream was to die for! Knowing that it’s not made from process garbage chemicals made it that much better.We also had two different carne Asada tacos, first the blue corn tortillas was very tasty and natural tasting. I have eaten many different types of tacos in my life, I would rate these as being top 2 out of 100 different places. It’s a different twist, but I love the flavor and the creative twist on it. Some times those creative attempts can go bad, not here. Sadly we are from Oswego IL. We just stumbled onto this cute little town and to this magical place! It’s bit more expensive than normal, but worth every penny in my book.You will also appreciate the cute beachy, coffee house feel, they also have a nice outdoor dining area.Give it a try, you will be incredibly glad you did, YUM! 10 out of 10!Dietary restrictions: Everything is gluten free and 100% organic

We ordered to go.We hadElote tacosFiscalini waffleOceano orange smoothieThe tacos were amazing. Everyone should get them. Fresh, flavorful, so good.The waffle was good. The blue corn is nice and earthy so not your typical waffle. Not sweet. The cream was really good.The smoothie seems to be smaller size when you order to go vs staying inThat's a shame. The flavor however is really good, not too sweet. Use a spoon, ger is thick!The line can be long on a weekend (it was for us) but it seems to move quickly. Order outside then move inside or to take to go to the beach like we did. =]

Great attention to detail, generous portions of bacon and avocado, very tasty food, and the whole menu is GF! Would recommend the Weirdos Waffle, Cayucos Cowboy and the Santa Lucia tacos :)

I came here with my mom on a weekday around 10 am. There was a considerable line so we were hesitant but decided to wait and I am SO glad we did. Honestly, breakfast isn't really my food so my expectations weren't super high. We sat outside on their lovely patio which had plenty of seating and the staff were all super kind. The inside was super cute as well and had a small curated shop of fun, local goodies. We ordered the Morro Melt (savory waffle) and the Mannix Machaca (taco) and holy cow were they amazing!!! So unique and so well executed. I enjoyed every bite and would love to go back to try everything on their menu. This is a must try if you are in the Cayucos area!

Absolutely delicious! I have celiac disease and was so excited to find somewhere safe to eat that was also so tasty. The vibes inside the restaurant were also so welcoming and warm hearted. Cannot wait to come back again next time I visit central CA!
