Throughout my entire visit, she was polite, kind, and genuinely funny. Jess is truly customer-driven and makes the experience unforgettable.

“I’m from NYC and can I say Gizzy’s bagels are freaking top notch. Staff are super friendly and accommodating. Helped me figure out which bagel I wanted. Ended up getting an everything bagel toasted with cream cheese, cucumber and pepper flakes. It was amazing. The ingredients/ bagels are super fresh. Definitely one of my top choices for bagels in SLO. Don’t sleep on Gizzy’s.“

“Sweet Pea has a lovely atmosphere. It's great to stop in for a treat. Everything that I have tried is scrumptious. My current favorite is the everything bun, which is savory and salty. My kids love the cupcakes and croissants.“

“I spend about $100 a week at Vons in Grover Beach. It is just about the only grocery store I go to. It is nice to see they are hiring more people. Pictures I often see have different area supervisors which is good. One concern I have is the people that are the main ‘doers’ don’t seem to have a concern about the jobs they do. In would hope Vons have a way to reward or correct workers in the way they carry out their job. ‘Banging’ on mop heads is never helpful unless they see a monetary benefit in personal upkeep. Most bakers don’t see a reason to spread peppers out on a bagel but I bet if they took a bite out of their product and got all the jalapeños in one bite they might see the logic of spreading them. I have quit telling them about it because they just shrug their shoulders. I would modify their pay by 50cents an hour up or down until performance matches expectations. I hope they have a way to gauge performance.“

“Eating your delicious baked goods is like mysteriously stepping into a beautifully far away land. In front of me, I see Angels skillfully and artfully making fresh baked goods with Love. Minutes later I am filled with warmth, beaming contentment and satiety!“

“Bought a variety of Pan Dulce, and all were fresh, baked well and so tasty, perfect blends of cinnamon & sugar without being overly sweet. The fillings were tasty, but I’d prefer a bit more filling, but they were absolutely delicious.“

“We stopped in at 7:00 am on a Saturday, and the place smelled delicious. The coffee is rich, fresh, and smooth. The barista was friendly and very skilled. Definitely recommend.“

“Great experience at Scout! The service is top-notch and the shop itself has a great location/vibe.

What to Order:

Rosemary Latte: Unique and delicious.

Orange Cardamom Cappuccino: Highly recommend, super fragrant and smooth.

The Note: The coffee is definitely the star here. The cookie we had was average, so I’d stick to the drinks next time. Overall, a fantastic stop in San Luis Obispo.“
