29 Best Coffee Shops in San Luis Obispo

“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. 👍“

“Awesome so nice ☕☕ very good cup!!“

“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! :)“

“My go-to coffee & matcha spot in SLO. Tiny Cafe provides a great variety of drink options to choose from their seasonal menu. I like how different their coffee and matcha drinks are from other vendors, and how are sustainable they are as a business (they provide discounts if you bring your own cup, and bag for coffee beans).
Tiny Cafe can booked for events too. I’ve booked them for a company event once, and everyone sung praises on how good the drinks and pastries were. If you’re looking for a local coffee spot to support, Tiny Cafe is the place to go!“

“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.“

“nice atmosphere. good coffee. friendly baristas.“

“I love Lucy’s!!! The baristas working there are always so sweet. The drinks and food are delicious, and my favorite is the avocado toast. Sit outside or in, the vibe is equally fun and comfy. Sitting outside on a nice sunny day is great with their picnic tables:) Highly recommend!“

“Centrally located in the quaint historic downtown, on a side street with little traffic. Handicap parking spot right in front of the shop. A few tables and chairs to sit outside and enjoy your coffee in the sun. Large, bright interior with bright sunlight shining through the window. Plenty of seatings with high top and regular chairs. While busy when visiting there was basically no wait. Served quickly by a young, friendly and attentive associate. Good selection of hot and cold beverages and nice pastries. Counter area and tables were kept very clean. Great quality and reasonable pricing. Excellent find, will be our must stop when coming to or passing through SLO!“

“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“

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

“Good drinks. Peach sparkling tea was delicious. Was happy to see snacks like potstickers and steamed pork buns. Cute ambience. There are two ordering kiosks, probably the best way to order as there are only two people working. There is an associated kiosk fee“

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

“Excellent custom Services.❤😊🎆🎇“

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

“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.“

“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“

“Thank you it hit the spot on my 3 hour drive home“

“Absolutely impressive. I adore this place, providing the perfect atmosphere for drinking coffee at any time in the day. At entering, I'm greeted with a smile and surrounded by comfortable furniture, and beautiful artwork. The people are very kind, attentive and work hard to create a welcoming environment and excellent coffee, 5 stars!“

“Lukom, Absolutely delightful! This Turkish sweet store is a hidden gem. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with the rich aroma of freshly made baklava and traditional treats. Every piece tastes like it was crafted with love and heritage — the pistachios are generous, the syrup is perfectly balanced, and the textures are just heavenly. The staff is incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable, always ready to offer samples and recommendations. Whether you’re a fan of classic delights or looking to try something new, this place is a must-visit. A little piece of Turkey right in the heart of Dan Luis Obispo, CA ❤️“

“Nice place with a nice staff. Good drinks. A good group of regulars. Good service.“

“A nearby Starbucks was closed so I came here instead. Unfortunately this place was PACKED, lots of people waiting for their orders, only 3 people behind the counter, seemed like one was in training. Jon immediately welcome every customer in anyway, he asked how your day was going while packing other order and seemed to be a master of doing 10 things at once while keeping the focus on the customer. 10/10 made my day better and made my experience pleasant in what could have easily been irritating and frustrating.“

“Great place for coffee and quick bite“

“Great customer service and the baristas are the best in town!“

“I always enjoy the quality of Starbucks coffee and I appreciate the convenience of the kiosk version inside stores like Target; however the service and speed one comes to expect from the Starbucks brand is always lacking in these smaller operations.“

“Ian helped us with our order and was very knowledgeable, he suggested I try cinnamon in my drink when I told him to surprise me. It was really good! He was friendly and just made the whole thing much more pleasant. I wanted to toot his horn cuz you don't run into very good customer service these days but this guy is out here making the world a better place, one transaction at a time!“

“Great Baristas ❤️✝️🙏🏼💜🎄🇺🇸🎁🥳🎄🎄“

“Thanks to a rescheduled flight I had a few hours to kill so I walked over from the airport. Love this place! The vibe is great, modern but comfortable. I tried two wines by the glass and they were both fantastic. Love the wine selection - it would be fun to come with a group and try a few different bottles.“
