Amazing vegan food from Bliss Cafe. It was help yourself and pay for the weight, so we got a mix of everything they had available. It was all delicious.
Flavours and combinations we hadn't tried before with vegetarian or vegan food, so it really opened up our palette.
We both wish we could go back for more, or one was open in the UK.

Bliss makes wonderful, nourishing vegan food and the owners are lovely and passionate, both about the food they serve and connecting with the local community. (Big shoutout to Dara and Kyle!) The quality of the food at their Thursday SLO Farmer's Market booth is fantastic and portions are generous. I can easily get two meals out of the small, and three or more meals out of the large! My husband loves the Protein Buddha, and I am a recent convert to the fabulously lemony Banzo Bowl, but you can't go wrong with any of the options from Bliss :)We also ordered their prepared multi-course holiday meal for a special Christmas dinner in December (2023), and it was delicious! So many amazing flavors and dishes that satisfied vegans and non-vegans alike. I highly recommend ordering catered food from Bliss if you have the opportunity, and stopping by their booth on Thursdays!

I was doing a job in San Luis Obispo and I needed to stop for some lunch, and I found Bliss Café and I Ordered the chipotle Baja burrito so I could eat it while I was driving. This burrito lasted me like four hours and it was amazing. It was the best burrito I’ve ever eaten in my life. I definitely wanna go back to San Luis Obispo to eat at Liz café again I definitely recommend this place 10 stars.

I love Bliss. They're one of the oldest vegan restaurants in this area (10+ years in 2024), and they've made their place a sort of community hub. My favorite thing is the buffet because there are a variety of tasty and colorful items to choose from. I bring containers for myself and friends because Bliss gives a discount if you do. Then they weigh the containers and determine the price. My other favorite thing is the creekside dining, right across from the restored Mission and the plaza surrounding it. It's just so nice to sit outside on a warm day and hear the birdsong and trickling water while enjoying a healthy, tasty meal. There's a beer and burger joint next door for people who don't want to try vegan food. My niece and her boyfriend ordered from there, while my partner and I ordered from Bliss. We sat outdoors on the Bliss side of the patio and had our meals fairly quickly, but they had to keep going back to see where their food was. It took about half an hour, but finally they brought their meals to the table and we could all start eating. Everything on their styrofoam plates was some shade of tan/brown: a pile of fries here, a brown patty on a white sesame bun over there. I didn't even see a green pickle. It was such a stark contrast to our actual plates, which were covered with food and bursting with colors, and I could see them noticing. The only problem with Bliss is the parking. It's right downtown and for some reason the traffic people working for the City have been cutting parking spaces. For disabled people, it's a real challenge to get there. The owners of Bliss are on it though, holding those traffic guys accountable for making it hard for their customers.

This place will see me everytime I visit, the food was soooooo delicious I forgot to take pics. Deepest apologies.

This is an awesome place if you are looking for blissful food. Great taste and great variety. The staff here is super sweet. We ordered jain food and they could easily make it here. They provide no onion no garlic food and upon request they made our food without potatoes. Patio sitting is beautiful. I highly recommend to stop by this place for breakfast and lunch.

Dietary restrictions: They can make JAIN food here. Full menu is vegetarian and without onion and garlic.

Bliss Cafe is a solid staple for trips to SLO. My boyfriend and I like to get food from there to go before boarding the train back to the Bay Area. It's an old school healthy foods place which we need more of in the world. The 4 star rating is based on today's experience. I wish I could leave 4.5 stars. I've never been disappointed by anything at Bliss, but the Buddha Wrap tasted too strongly of the coconut or other oil used for cooking up the fillings. The tofu scramble was A on the flavor and comfort with flavors of nutritional yeast and mustard shining through. Definitely go to Bliss when you are in or passing through SLO.

Update - we came back and had the most amazing homemade cinnamon rolls! This place is fantastic and owner was so kind and lovely! Couldn’t have had a better breakfast and they serve it all day! Looks like the açaí bowls were pretty popular too. Coffee was great! Updated from previous review on 2023-12-29

Get the pancakes! These are the best pancakes I’ve ever had….thin with a crispy outside and topped with fresh fruit. Nice indoor and outdoor space. Friendly staff.

We had lunch there and it was really good. The food was tasty. You take what you want from the buffet and it’s weighed afterwards. The price was okay for being organic food. The staff was friendly and the outside seating area is nice and quiet.

Bliss has great food and the friendliest people. I highly recommend you check out this cute community staple!

Lunch at Bliss Cafe was good, you get as much as you want and they weigh it. We were passing through and wanted some lunch on our way to San Marino.

Gluten free pancakes, YAY! For me, no visit to SLO is complete without Bliss. The pancakes are yummy, and the patio dining is so serene! Adjacent to the Mission.
