19 Best Bakeries in San Luis Obispo

“The custom cake I ordered was soo good. I got a 6 inch lemon cake with vanilla buttercream frosting and raspberry mousse. The 6 inch may seem small, but it was enough for 5 people and we had leftover cake afterwards that we ate the next day.

I wanted to put some nautical decor on that I made myself since we were eating it on a boat, and they were able to make the outside smooth & plain for me. I’m not sure that I did a great job with decor, lolll..I would probably ask them to do the decor themselves next time.

The lemon with the raspberry mousse was so good though. I might try a cream cheese frosting if I ever go back since I’m in LA, but the buttercream wasn’t too sweet.“

“Sam and Mariah are such exemplary and loving community members that their bread is as good as it is. And Mariah just started making the best scones on top of all the love and work she pours into bread all morning!! Her and Sam work as crazy hard as they do because they love it and we love you bread bike!!“

“Centrally located in the quaint historic downtown, on a side street with little traffic. Handicap parking spot right in front of the shop. A few tables and chairs to sit outside and enjoy your coffee in the sun. Large, bright interior with bright sunlight shining through the window. Plenty of seatings with high top and regular chairs. While busy when visiting there was basically no wait. Served quickly by a young, friendly and attentive associate. Good selection of hot and cold beverages and nice pastries. Counter area and tables were kept very clean. Great quality and reasonable pricing. Excellent find, will be our must stop when coming to or passing through SLO!“

“Wonderful service and delicious cupcakes. Would recommend Bri and her team for any special occasion.“

“OMG best donuts ever. I have had cake donuts but never tried a Buttermilk donut before and it was amazing. Also you don't need powder sugar or glaze its very sweet and tasty on its own. Also they have seasonal specialty donuts - I tried their seasonal donut holes which were apple-cider flavored and they were also good but even better was their London Fog (with Lavender Syrup) and service. So Nice :)

Dietary restrictions: They also have vegan donuts but I did not try any“

“Great customer service and the baristas are the best in town!“

“Tawny was an excellent server, and the meal was fantastic. We ordered off the Steakhouse menu and sat in the far corner booth. We ordered the chopped spinach salad, garlic cheese bread, and the 11oz filet and Atlantic lobster. We shared everything. What a great meal!!!“
