“So much fun here, always love bringing the kids and exploring the flowers. Also love stopping over after to Gopher Glen for apple tastings. So good!!“

“What a wonderful spot! All of the food was so fresh, delicious, and arrived at the perfect temperature. The service was lovely and so helpful and friendly. It was my first time having Peruvian food and now I am definitely a fan. Everything was great — ceviche, chicken skewers, Peruvian fried rice, baked scallops, and croquettes. Next time I’m in SLO I will definitely be coming back!“

“There Does Not Exist is an absolute labor of love for craft beer fans to enjoy on the Central Coast. I've tried many beers made in SLO county over the years, but since trying TDNE for the 1st time in 2020, they take the cake when it comes to the best varietal beers top to bottom.“

“We love Ziggy’s!! GREAT delicious plant-based comfort food and warm, fast, friendly service! I love the spicy Buffalo Chicken sandwich, the Avalon burger with arugula and Gouda, the Black Bean Taquitos, and the Avocado Tacos. Ziggy’s is absolutely awesome! Live long and prosper, Ziggy’s!“

“We had a fantastic company outing at Claiborne and Churchill winery. Such a gem in a lovely setting. Very relaxed and inviting. Several of us purchased bottles as the wine is excellent. They were wonderful to work with. Highly recommend and have the tasting in their garden under the oak trees“

“Sam and Mariah are such exemplary and loving community members that their bread is as good as it is. And Mariah just started making the best scones on top of all the love and work she pours into bread all morning!! Her and Sam work as crazy hard as they do because they love it and we love you bread bike!!“

“The owner of this vineyard and winery is innovative, intelligent, and loves everything agricultural about this land. He is inspiring and I am sure his wines are superb. This is a beautiful place to visit. On the weekends during the summer he has live music. Check them out to host your next wine tasting event.“

“Amazing Boba Tea in SLO! Love the milk teas and refreshing fruit tea boba drinks the mango or strawberry white peach tea is one of my favorites. Great staff and easy to get to location, always pick up a drink on my way to work 🧋“

“Great beer, friendly staff (ask for the brewery tour😉)“

“Jill makes you feel so welcome! The Thai Basil makes me happy and the other customers are all so nice. Made it to Bingo Nite and I am so sad I don't live closer or I would be there every Tuesday!“

“Amazing food and ambience“

“a great venue for all ages, families and dogs. Staff and service is great.“

“Absolutely fantastic. I hadn’t had pizza in a few months because of some food allergy testing, so I did some research before deciding where my first pizza back was going to be. My Friend Mike’s did not disappoint.

The sourdough crust was SO good, perfectly cooked, crispy and chewy, with that slightly funky, tangy flavor that good sourdough has. The tomato sauce was savory, there was just the right amount of cheese, and the toppings were really well balanced. I got the guanciale with mushrooms and onions and it was delicious. Really high quality ingredients.

The staff was really nice, my food was ready exactly on time, and the restaurant was clean and inviting.“

“I happened upon this store while on vacation, and the moment I stepped through the door, I felt like I had been transported to another world! The beautiful fragrances, wonderful scents, and unique atmosphere are truly something you don’t want to miss.

The staff is friendly, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. A special thank-you to Dilara, who was so kind and helpful during my visit.

I became completely addicted to the Lokum Essential Oil and, unfortunately, had already used up the bottle I purchased in the store months ago. When I discovered that the oil wasn’t available for purchase online, I emailed the store. I was absolutely shocked and impressed when, just two days later, they had added it to their website!

I just received the bottle I ordered, and it was packaged perfectly. It arrived completely intact with no leakage. They even included a little bag with an adorable handmade keyring — such a thoughtful surprise!

I was already impressed with this store during my visit, but their online customer service impressed me just as much. They truly go the extra mile for their customers.

This place is a must-see if you’re ever in San Luis Obispo! I can’t wait to visit again. ❤“

“I had the hot pastrami sooo good 👍“

“Authentic and run by wonderful people! Even though it’s Ethiopian, it’s the closest you’ll get to South Indian food anywhere near SLO County. I can’t wait for it to reopen and hopefully stay permanently.“

“Excellent flavors Excellent service We will definitely be back“

“Beautiful ambiance. The guitar player’s music hit just the right balance of soul/jazz. The dishes were fantastic and the portions substantial.“

“Had a lovely visit at Chamisal Vineyards during the last week of SEP. Reservation for two and quickly seated within the outdoor shade sail covered dog friendly patio. The view from our seat was a wall of old wine barrels and the vineyards to the west. The wall lessened the wind to a mellow breeze. Chamisal is along the flight path to SLO airport and the occasional plane flew overhead. Perhaps more so today due to the Salinas Air Show occurring. Ella was our host. She was cheerful, well versed and hospitable. Our signature flight was delicious and covered the vintners spectrum from sparkling to Pinot noir. We also had the Graze Charcuterie board which a well balanced plate of meats, cheeses, fruits, spreads and more; enough for a party of four. Seating areas ranged from tables-n-sofas, benches near the barrels and sit down tables with padded metal seating. Well behaved dogs were present and water bowls were available. Chamisal was a great venue to enjoy great tasting wine, food accompaniments and meaningful conversations. Parking lot is dirt/gravel adjacent to tasting. The restrooms were clean and orderly.“

“We were here for the first time, and it won't be the last! Great food & beers & service!“

“Had a super friendly cashier help me out with ordering, she was really lovely and genuine. The only issue was that the chocolate croissant wasn’t well laminated so the pastry ended up being chewy and a bit on the funkier/ sour side. The scout cookie was delicious though ! Fast service and delicious coffee :)“

“If you’re deciding between wine tasting in Paso Robles or Edna Valley, make sure Biddle Ranch in Edna is on your list. The atmosphere is beautiful, the wine is outstanding, and the overall experience feels relaxed, authentic, and unpretentious.

We visited with a group of 11, and Paige did an incredible job taking care of us. She was patient, knowledgeable, and made each tasting engaging by sharing interesting background and tasting notes for every wine. Her attentiveness and professionalism helped make the experience memorable for everyone in our group.

A huge thank you to Paige and the Biddle Ranch team. We had an amazing time and will absolutely be back!“

“Amazing Gluten free options as well as great burgers!“

“Knowledge staff who are friendly dog-lovers. Perfect location for rustic wedding or parties!“

“Best crust I have had in years“

“We've belonged to Kelsey for several years and Love the wine, ciders, staff, peacocks and relaxing with the entire Kelsey experience. Thank you to all!“

“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.“

“Pretty good stuff from what I saw. I was there visiting a friend.“

“Great coffee spot in SLO. Very laid-back and spacious with both indoor and outdoor seating in a very zen open air space. They have well-made lattes, but I also was really impressed by their tea. I got an iced version of a hibiscus herbal tea. It was prepared well and not too watered down.

Great spot to come hang out and do work or have a chill catch up with friends. Staff are very nice and welcoming too. They also have a very cute shop of assorted goods next-door, which I enjoyed as well. Definitely one of the best coffee spots in SLO.“

“Great food and good vibes“

“Sidecar is a must here in San Luis Obispo! The staff and the owners and everything about the place will knock your socks off. I think it’s high time. You guys open a second Sidecar by me in So Cal!“

“Awesome so nice ☕☕ very good cup!!“

“Benny’s Pizza Palace is the real deal! Amazing Detroit-style pizza with that perfect crispy edge, a cool laid-back atmosphere, and a staff that makes you feel right at home. It’s the perfect SLO spot to grab a slice, sip something cold, and vibe with the locals. Highly recommend! 🍕🍻“

“Christmas “cinnamon roll wreath” too large to carry back to PS ! Awesome ! Will bring the truck next year !! Incredible choices and wonderful staff ! Lots of GF stuff.“

“Eddies Grill has become my go to for burgers. The cheese burger is juicy, large and with much flavor. The buns are soft and do not fall apart. cannot wait until I grow tired of their burgers and try another sandwich. Bty the fries are really good to0.“

“I've been eating at Kona’s Deli since the 1990s, and it’s still one of my favorite sandwich spots in San Luis Obispo. The quality has always been consistent—fresh ingredients, generous portions, and unbeatable flavor. My go-to orders are the tuna with cheddar and the Pipeline—both are absolutely delicious. The bread is especially great, soft with just the right amount of chew. My only complaint is that I wish they had longer hours during the week—I can only make it in on weekends due to my work schedule. Still, always worth the wait. Kona’s is a true SLO staple.“

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

“a great venue for all ages, families and dogs. Staff and service is great.“

“Lovely place to visit if you are in the area.
They have very nice ambience with outdoor sitting on deck, surrounded by flowers. The staff is very curtious and helpful.
We went for wine tasting combined with lunch and picked the place due to multiple food options and it did not disappoint.
Wine flight had great selection from Paso robles area wines and the panini and flatbread were just a perfect pair.“

“BEST RAMEN IN SLO !! We ordered the Seared Pork Belly Tonkotsu, Pork Shoulder Spicy Miso, and Cold Ramen. Overall, the ramen was super yummy and I really enjoyed the nice atmosphere and ambiance of the place. 😋

Although the food is on the pricier end, I believe it's worth the price.

There's also indoor and outdoor seating available but we sat outdoors with the heaters on since it was a little breezy that day. We placed a reservation but they take walk-ins as well.

I would highly suggest this spot for a first date or for a nicer occasion. I'll definitely be back!“

“Good food and great beer.“

“I have a gluten allergy so I have to be very careful about where I go out to eat. The staff at Mistura was very knowledgeable and helpful about what I could order and how their food was prepared. It's nice to find that in a restaurant based in a college town!!“

“Awesome food, they have one of my favorite dishes: butternut squash ravioli with a white sauce. I finish the whole plate even if I’m so full I could pop! Outstanding service and a great atmosphere. I love Giuseppe’s 💖“

“Scenic rooftop bar with great drinks.“

“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“

“The perfect venue for my baby shower!! Elena was incredibly helpful making suggestions before we booked and she went above and beyond day-of helping with clean up and taking pictures for us. Minimal decor was needed because the tasting room itself is so cute! Couldn't recommend more for a small event!“

“Had a little vertical tasting of the 2014, 2016 and 2018 Legrein. To tasty and too much fun. Thanks Chris!“

“Delicious food and a most excellent Bloody Mary.“
