A nice local coffee shop! There was plenty of seating inside and outside, which was great for us to be able to enjoy the weather. We ordered vanilla lattes with oat milk. It was a little too dark for our palate and $16 for both drinks felt a bit steep but delicious nonetheless. We also ordered a blueberry lemon poppyseed muffin, which was really good! The baristas were nice and cheerful.

Best lavender and vanilla lattes we have ever had; just the right amount of sweetness and flavor. Great options for indoor/outdoor seating.

I can only review the caramel freeze and it's delicious. We love to put a shot affogato (on top after it is blended). Usually great service though I have had one barista act not so professionally. We love coming here when in town. They have another location as well.

The staff was friendly, and patient. The chocolate croissant was delicious, and the latte was warm and strong. While I was visiting the music selection was tasteful and at a comfortable level. No complaints at all.

This was my 2nd visit here, they've got lots of flavorings for you latte lovers. Nice place to hang or get some work done but I just grabbed an apple fritter and took my order to go. Staff seemed friendly chatting with other customers but I didn't stick around since my order was to go. Seems to be a local fave spot. Only change I think is they may have changed cups, when I came last year their cups had their logo on it. But these new ones have a sip option to eliminate straws which is cool.

I'd say it's a decent enough place. The coffee is decent, but it's like any other overpriced coffee shop everything is far more expensive than what it is actually worth. I would say I think this black horse is doing way better than the other one in SLO that I've been to.

Coffee was dark without bitter aftertaste which is a sign of careful brewing. Milk was foamy smooth and tasty for the latte! Pasteries we delicious and tasted home made. Did I say the coffee was excellent?! Forgot to take picture of my blackberry croissant it was so tasty. Wife had almond croissant which a delicate almond paste inside and daughter selected the bearclaw which also had a little chocolate inside. Service was excellent and atmosphere was wonderful with indoor or outdoor seating. Tables had a lttle distance and SLO weather was perfect. Will make this a regular stop when in SLO.Parking: Some on the street.
