What to Order:

Rosemary Latte: Unique and delicious.

“We had a fantastic experience at Nomo Domo. The atmosphere was clean, modern, and effortlessly cool—comfortable without feeling stuffy.

The service was truly impeccable. There was a small hiccup getting our food from the kitchen to the table, but the service recovery was over the top in the best way. It was handled quickly, professionally, and with genuine care—exactly how great restaurants earn loyal customers.

Portions were extremely generous, and everything we ordered felt thoughtfully prepared. Our waitress, Laura, was excellent—friendly, attentive, and clearly on top of her game. To top it off, the owner came by our table to chat, which added a really personal touch and made the experience feel special.

Great food, great people, and great hospitality. We’ll absolutely be back.“

“Awesome so nice ☕☕ very good cup!!“

“Contemporary Peruvian fusion spot with very attentive and friendly service and decent food. Our server was very friendly and helpful with good recommendations. We had the Peruvian paella and their version of a Caesar salad. Both were tasty and the portions were larger than expected. There was a lot of rice for the paella and a good amount of seafood. In our mind we do prefer the flavoring of Spanish paella a little more and maybe it could of used a little more spices. They gave us a complimentary glass of sparkling wine for our anniversary.“

“The meat is deliciously superb! The brisket is incredibly moist and explodes with flavor! Super happy with our choice to come here.“

“Wonderful, warm and very welcoming winery.Susan took good care of our group. With just the right amount of information on the wines we tasted. And some very yummy wines. The outside area is nice and shaded, and you are in amongst the vines. This was a excellent place for our group of 6, and you can bring in food. Plus is it less than 10 minutes from the airport.
Thank you again for a prefect afternoon.“

“We had the most tasty Peruvian food in downtown San Luis Obispo at Coya in their new location at 851 Higuera St, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401. The chicken saltado one of the best I have ever had. The beef empanada large. The passion fruit drink, Maracuya, refreshing. All house made authentic Peruvian food. I hope you will visit Coya and enjoy the food as much as we did. The ambience beautifully decorated with traditional Peruvian products, clothing, hats, purses, dolls, cookies, coffee and lamas. Large dinning room and outdoor seating nice. We can’t wait to visit again to try More Peruvian food. Catalina the owner, very welcoming and took good care of us. Thank you 🥰“

“Everytime we go to Humble Oven we have an awesome experience. The kids love the pizza and we tried the Smash Burger 'Za at the Farmers Market and it became one of our new favorites! My wife and I love the Humble Salad so much that we replicate the salad at home. Staff is on top of it and we make it our go to whenever we can. This place is a gem and highly recommend it to others.“

“I love Petra’s! We found this place at the beginning of Covid and have been going ever since. Last week driving from northern to southern CA we stopped for lunch(of course). I got distracted and left my purse…didn’t notice until Santa Maria. Called, of course they had my purse…AMAZING CREW AMAZING FOOD! Thank you“

“Great variety of wines. I love learning about how the different wine makers produce their wines. Never disappointed with the tasting or my purchases. It is fun to get different varietals every shipment. My husband doesn't drink wine but we can go and enjoy because they also offer beer and cider. They even showcase a different wine maker each month - so much fun! I highly recommend checking out the Central Coast Wines.“

“We had the bacon wrapped dates, Brussel sprouts and coconut shrimp tacos with key lime pie for dessert. Perfect amount shared by two. Every bite was delicious! Very creative drink menu, non alcoholic. Lovely outdoor seating and dog friendly.“

“Brought home a piece of gluten-free carrot cake today for my husband. He hasn’t had carrot cake for years because of the GF issue. It was absolutely amazing. Best carrot cake he has ever had. A very much enjoyed surprise. Thank you.“
