“We had a wonderful date night dinner. The service was helpful and friendly but not obtrusive. The food was delicious. We ordered two appetizers, the plantains and the pork gyozas. They contrasted well together and were delicious. We shared the whole fish White Sea bass escabeche style. It was wonderfully prepared. We had the cookies with Dulce de leche filling for dessert and they were a definite winner. The ambiance was energetic and fun.“

“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.“

“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“

“Our experience with the restaurant and Van our waiter was excellent. The reason I did not give it a 5 star was because when we arrived the hostess/waitress was not concerned that we had a 5:00 reservation to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary, never acknowledged it, even though on open table site asked if was a special occasion. She sat us down and handed us a wine list which had red sauce on it, she clearly saw it and did not acknowledge it. It would have been nice it someone would have acknowledged our celebration. That's all. We went there because our son gave us a gift card and restaurant was recommended by a friend. We were visiting not locals. Thank you .“

“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.“

“I had the hot pastrami sooo good 👍“

“I love their 3 locations! Beautiful decorations and design, super chill atmosphere. Love getting work done on my laptop at their coffee shops.

Really good chai tea! And they have different milk options + they are able to serve the drinks with your preferred amount of sweetener or none at all.

I always go for an almond croissant, they are SO GOOD that they usually sell out! My second favorite is the raspberry oat bar 😍 But basically everything from their pastry box is incredible!

When on a hurry you can order online for pick up, is very easy, convenient and they have it ready super fast!“

“Never disappoints! Food is excellent whether you dine in or have it delivered!“

“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 🥰“

Just like everything he does, he cares about his business, watches over it, talks to the people, and takes care of his customers. Always, everything is exceptional. It's another great experience by him and his team. I had a great meal tonight. It was great spending time talking with him, as always. You will enjoy it, also, no matter what age or group you're in. Thank you.“

“I had such a wonderful dining experience here recently. The quality of the food was outstanding, especially the seared tuna dish topped with a beautiful flower garnish.

Every bite was fresh and full of flavor. I was particularly impressed by how neatly the rolls were prepared. It was a lovely meal and I will definitely be back.“

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.“
