22 Best Coffee Shops in San Luis Obispo

“I love the coffees and the staff is so fun to talk to. The menu can be a little confusing. The sizes, for example, aren’t uniform. I can get a large of certain ones but not of others. The sweetening is also curious. There is simple syrup on the counter but baristas won’t sweeten a buen dia.“

“Awesome so nice ☕☕ very good cup!!“

“Checked out Field Day Coffee with a friend today. Space was utilized well as a coffee shop. Open and airy throughout the inside portion of the coffee shop. Ample outdoor seat which was a bonus, and just as the sun came out on our visit. Coffee was delicious and made to order correctly on the first time. I shared a Brown Butter cookie with my friend and it was Delicious. Pricing is fare and coffee tasted much better than other big brand coffee chains. Definitely recommend field day coffee if your visiting SLO. 👍“

“My partner and I have come in a few times now and have loved all their different smoothies! They're filling and flavorful without feeling too heavy or overly sweet. The ladies working here are always so sweet and even offered us a freebie sample of one of their energy refreshers. Will be back! :)“

“Love this shop! Great place to get some work done or chat with a friend over a solid cup of coffee, tea, or matcha.
I have to respond to the most recent review by Claudia Hochschild though, I was present during her interaction with the very helpful and kind service of the woman behind the counter which she somehow believes earns this establishment 2 stars. For context, Claudia was having trouble joining the wifi and her review likely reflects impatience.
Bravo to the barista for handling a difficult situation with abundant generosity!“

“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.“

“It is so full of life and love. How could you stay away!“

“nice atmosphere. good coffee. friendly baristas.“

“I came on a Sunday morning around 9:45am. The cappuccino and chocolate chip cookie I had were delicious! Service was good, and baristas were friendly and accommodating. It was quite empty, so the environment was peaceful. Not sure why it was empty, because the coffee is awesome!“

“Ive been here a couple times and every single time it is amazing! I love the energy and vibe of all the workers, the coffee AND food is great (lots of places make me feel like i have to pick good food OR good coffee, but not here!) i plan on coming back often!“

“Great coffee served in a warehouse-y environment thats cold, clammy, and blasting music so loud you can’t even think. Some big comfy couches and chairs, rugs on the floor, warm decor, and calmer quieter music would go a long way to make me want to come back in a town with a ton of options. Feels like Starbucks dressed up as a community coffee shop. Also no food in the case by lunch time so if you’re hungry go somewhere else.“

“free coffee. that is all 😋“

“Excellent custom Services.❤😊🎆🎇“

“Best cappuccino in 3000 mls. Were on a road trip through the southwest and had the best coffee of the whole trip here. Good pastries. Prices as usual high, but delicious. You get into good conversation with the mostly younger audience here. Were there twice - on the way to Hgwy 1.“

“Love to study at Kreuzberg! Atmosphere is upbeat but not offensive. Food is great and coffee is delicious!“

“Sweetie Cup Tea House is such a gem in San Luis Obispo! The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful—bright, modern, and perfect for relaxing with family or friends. Their boba is amazing, some of the best I’ve had, with great flavor and texture every time.

I also love how easy the ordering process is thanks to their thoughtful use of technology, which makes the whole experience smooth and stress-free. The shop itself is also very aesthetically pleasing, and my kids enjoy the fun, welcoming vibe.

On top of all that, the owners are genuinely kind and seem to truly care about their customers. It’s always nice to support a place where you feel both valued and appreciated.“

“These donuts are amazing, they always have what I'm looking for and the people are so kind and caring. When ever I crave donuts I go there. Nothing satisfies my cravings better than these donuts! I recommend it. 10/10“

“Their coffee bar located at 1240 Broad St, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401 is a good place to grab a quality, well priced breakfast in San Luis Obispo, CA.

I usually get the Croissandwich, a big croissant with eggs, cheese, onions, tomato and avocado, hold the tomato for me. It’s a big sandwich. They may use up to three eggs.

Oh, their drip coffee is also good.“

“This place is a local favorite! The photos are of the oreo bing soo shaved ice. It was absolutely amazing, not too sweet, but just enough. Love it, and I can't wait to try more. My kid loves to order the Taiyaki with chocolate... yuuuummmmm. I've tried the iced matcha latte, and it did not disappoint. I needed a pick me up one day and tried the Dalgona Iced coffee - perfectly made, the pick me up I needed.“

“we absolutely loved Linnaea's Cafe. Tasty espresso, baked good and burritos. Cute establishment, Nice barista in an amazing location. We will be back!“

“Needed a break during a long drive home after Thanksgiving and happy we found this Starbucks. The clerks were very attentive and friendly. We ordered a hot chocolate, a coffee and a piece of warm coffee cake . Both were prepared quickly. Plenty of parking was available.“
