22 Best Coffee Shops in San Luis Obispo

“nice atmosphere. good coffee. friendly baristas.“

“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!“

“Absolutely wonderful spot, with lovely feel-good vibes, to start your day in San Luis. Coffee is all fantastic (especially the drip, gibraltar, and macchiato); the yogurt + granola bowl is refreshing and topped with a generous dose of strawberries + blueberries; the housemade bagel sandwich is perfectly executed in every way; and the avo toast (served with oversized wedges of delightfully fresh + chewy sourdough) is a toast lover’s dream.

Highly recommend for your morning routine in town! ☕️ “

“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!“

“The baked goods are tasty and very good. The coffee is all hand made and just perfect. They have different types of coffees, teas, and other beverages, so you have to go multiple times to sample them all. It’s worth the trip. The butter mochi is a great cheesecake alternative, not too sweet, just right. Their Taipei style beef noodle is among the best I’ve tasted this far north of LA. If you have a need for Japanese staples, like rice and noodles, they have that in their mini store, as well. The staff is friendly and helpful. Enjoy there lo-fi BGM. You need to go and keep this business going. Incredibly tasty Asian inspired dishes of great quality in SLO.

“Definitely my new go-to smoothie place.

Me and my friend came here to see what this little business was about. The owner was soooo nice to us, possibly the sweetest business owner lady I’ve met in SLO. The açaí bowl and butterfinger smoothie were delicious and perfectly sweet! They have a bunch of fun games on the tables and we spent an hour playing chess (i lost)“

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

“A true treasure for anyone who has ever walked through its welcoming doors.“

“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“

“I recently visited Kreuzberg, and I must say, the food was fantastic! The flavors were well-balanced, and each dish was thoughtfully prepared. The ambiance was cozy yet vibrant, making it a great spot to relax with friends or enjoy a quiet meal.“

“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.“

“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“

“WOOO! If you want an authentic Turkish treat this is the place to be! We got the Turkish coffee, some Turkish delights, and some baklava and all of it was just straight up amazing. The pistachio coffee was firee so creamy and so complex. The baklava was pretty good. It seemed to have been left out for a while so the baklava didn’t have a super flaky exterior but other than that it was amazing. The Turkish delights were also scrumptious with a wonderful texture and even greater taste for all of them. Make sure to make use of the free samples for all the delectable treats too see which ones you like the most. The staff is very patient with you so don’t worry! The inside of this place was so cute and wholesome as shown in my picture. OVERALL I would definitely recommend this place to others and will hope to come again!“

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

“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.“

“Their coffee is sooooooo stong WOW ? but amazing service! Very nice young lady works there and the inside atmosphere is relaxing. Many people I know claim this as their favorite coffee shop. I got an iced mocha for about $5.50?
