21 Best Bakeries in San Luis Obispo

“Ordered a custom 9" round cake for my wife's birthday. The staff was friendly (and busy!) and it was super easy to drop by in person and order (they do take phone orders, I was just in town). Vanilla frosting, beautiful ganache waterfall top, chocolate cake and cookies and cream frosting. I wanted a very simple topping decoration and they nailed it perfectly, the cookie halves were their touch and I think it added some great contrast to the plain top I had put down originally. The price was spot on and it was so delicious. Perfection for what I wanted.

Note: eating delicious cake in progress in photos.“

“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!!“

“Got the bacon and date scone, the mixed berry scone and the zucchini muffin which were all so delicious that I forgot to take pictures. Only negative was the coffee had no sleeves for hot coffee and no sweeteners. The baked goods were what I was there for so I was impressed to say the least. I got them for wife and daughter but had to try a bite of ALL of them. Only one word comes to mind...YUM!!!!“

“My wife is gluten free, but I am not. When she came home with bakery items from Monika's, I was hesitant. However, everything was amazing. I had a lemon bar, which you would NEVER know it's gluten free. My wife's carrot cake was also amazing. Highly recommended. Go try it!“

“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 place for coffee and quick bite“

“Jessica F was exceptional. She was friends and accommodating. The hostess ( not sure her name) and Michal our busser also were very friendly and helpful. The portion were impressive. We love visiting The Madonna Inn everytime we travel. Can wait to go back. 10/19/24
