23 Best Cafes in San Luis Obispo

“We enjoyed Corazon 805 Tacos so much on Friday at Liquid Gravity that we got it again on Saturday at Broad Street Public House. Chef Pedro and his team are super friendly and fun to talk to, not to mention they cooked us up an amazing meal of tacos, rice and beans two nights in a row. The freshly made corn tortillas are a perfect soft and pliable texture, the taco fillings are flavorful and spiced, and the toppings (pickled onion, queso fresco, and spicy salsa verde) complement the fillings beautifully. We enjoyed the carne asada, pulque-marinated chicken, and sweet potato with kale. While they were all delicious, the sweet potato was our favorite. And the surprise winner of the meal was the refried black beans and “fried” rice. The beans were smooth and velvety, and mixed with the rice made for an amazing side dish. Didn’t get a chance to photograph the rice & beans because they were eaten so quickly. Can’t wait for them to be back at Broad Street Pub, since we live in the condos right near there. I will be there every time.“

“I think this is the best coffee-shop coffee I have ever bought! Everyone in our party loved their coffee - cappuccino, lattes, drip coffee and loose leaf tea were all fantastic! My muffin was also delicious. Definitely a place for many returns!“

“Lovely atmosphere, every employee I've encountered has been incredibly friendly and personable and the coffee tastes great

Parking: The spots located on garden street are all passenger loading, so if you're planning to dine in I would suggest side street parking or even the parking garage“

“The food was delicious and all ingredients were so fresh. Great value. I will definitely return.“

“Great vibe immediately upon walking in the door. First rate service. Might be the best breakfast burrito I’ve ever had. Outstanding coffee…medium americano. Killer art. Skater/surfer/local artist/inclusive tags galore. They’re doing it right and the comfort, along with the smiles, of the patrons was clearly evident and confirming.“

Dietary restrictions: They did have gluten free and vegan options for the Turkish delight.“

“We used slo provisions for a brunch for 100 people and I would hire them again! They make amazing food and they are so easy to work with. We modified the menu many times and each time they responded quickly and had thoughtful recommendations. When we needed to make adjustments based on allergies, they were quick to outline how we could best accommodate our guests. I would highly recommend them for your party.“

“I admire this spot! They serve decent food, they have a rich menu, The chief cook in that place is a real authority in the kitchen, I love very much tasting all their food.

“These bad reviews make no sense to me. Fantastic food and friendly staff. They have a superb breakfast burrito, an amazing veggie wrap, and tons of local options made with local ingredients. Plus an outdoor beer garden (!!!) Most airport food places are garbage but this is an absolute diamond in the rough and we are so LUCKY to have it at a 6-gate airport!!!“

“I love this place! I got probably 3 or 4 tims a month. Everything crepes are awesome! They went up in price but still solid. Their snow Taro and Thai tea boba are freaking perfect. I wish they were open earlier, but I understand it's on the college side of town. The guys in the mornings are super friendly!“

“the good people good food“

“As somebody who is a caffeine abuser, obviously I need my coffee. Coastal peaks provides me with exceptional cold brews and afternoon teas. However the thing I look forward to the most is the experience. You go in and are greeted by awesome baristas that make you feel welcomed and no matter how busy they are, they go out of their way to greet you with a smile and answer any questions you have. They are the best part of my morning“

“Visiting SLO for a wedding and decided to drop by this spot for coffee and a small bite. The coffee was "ok", the pastry selection is limited, but the chicken quesadilla was bomb. Overall, a great spot to catch-up with good company. The staff was friendly. Would recommend.“
