A wonderful place doing so much for SLO by providing a place where people can listen to poetry readings, open mics, Jazz combos. How lucky we are to have Linnaea's!

I love this cafe! They have a really neat back area with plants and sofas, when the sun is out this is probably the perfect spot to go. I also highly recommend the iced matcha with lavender sweetener :)

Delightful garden, friendly open and inclusive staff. Variety of gf and veg options. Not a fan of the quiche but that is just me. Prices are high, but consistent with other places downtown.

Nice patio in back. The cup for the drip coffee is really small. They should make it bigger so you don't have to keep getting free refills.

Linnaea's is an oasis of thoughtful coffee, tea, and quiet conversation. The courtyard transcends one's daily routine. We always emerge refreshed here.

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!

Love the back patio and fish pond. So tranquil, yet in the middle of town.

This was one of the best cafés I've ever been to in my life! The barista that took my order was slinging coffee and jokes like it was nothing. Apart from that, the prices are reasonable, and the atmosphere wonderful - you can tell a lot of care went into decorating the space. I especially like that they sell day-old pastries at a discount. I'd go back in a heartbeat!

Very cute spot - good coffee and decent food. We had the breakfast burrito and blueberry muffin latte. Don’t miss the secret garden in the back!

Love this Cafe in downtown SLO. Great pastries, including stellar vegan carrot cake with icing. Lovely retreat like back open garden with seating.

I had lunch here and it was absolutely delicious. The quality of the ingredients and the care in preparation were evident in every bite. But what truly impressed me was the espresso—I’ve been living in the U.S. for a year, and I’ve never had an espresso this good, even better than many I've had in Italy! Kudos to the staff as well—the people working here are incredibly friendly. Highly recommended!

Vegetarian options: Very good offer!! The chili is amazing.

I love this place, and was happy to see that's still around after not having been in SLO for about 14 years.
