The sourdough crust is unreal and the quality and flavor combos knock your socks off. Next time I am back in SLO the first stop will be Mikes for a Shroomies. Keep it up guys“

Her and Sam work as crazy hard as they do because they love it and we love you bread bike!!“

“Great experience at Scout! The service is top-notch and the shop itself has a great location/vibe.

What to Order:

Rosemary Latte: Unique and delicious.

Orange Cardamom Cappuccino: Highly recommend, super fragrant and smooth.

The Note: The coffee is definitely the star here. The cookie we had was average, so I’d stick to the drinks next time. Overall, a fantastic stop in San Luis Obispo.“

A special thank you to Grace, our waitress, who was totally awesome. She was friendly, attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit.
I also had the pleasure of sitting at the bar with Carlos, who was professional, personable, and made the experience even more enjoyable. His great attitude and excellent customer service truly stood out.

“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 🥰“

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“

“We worked with Haute Skillet for our wedding, and would recommend them so very highly! From the start, correspondence and coordination was seamless. We were so impressed by their entire team. When it came time for the wedding day, Haute Skillet provided the most delicious family-style meal for our guests – we received SO many compliments on the food! The service was also exceptional. Thank you, Chef Anna and Haute Skillet team!“

“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!“

“I probably had one of the best lunches of my life at the Bear and the Wren earlier today! Chef Mo is the man, we had his Piada with roasted garlic cloves and it was so incredibly delicious I can't stop thinking about it. The allium butter was so smooth it perfectly complemented every texture and flavor of the rest of the dish. The roasted garlic was perfectly cooked and when it mixed with the spread it was actually beautiful, it tasted like I was consuming art. I've been here multiple times and all of their detroit style pizzas are fantastic, the combination of flavors is masterfully done and I always leave excited to come back for more! For dessert we got the Ginger Molasses cast iron Cookie which was potentially the best dessert I've ever had and upon the first bite I genuinely felt my day being brightened and joy overtake me. It's a big enough dessert to share although I would also eat the entire thing by myself because it was that good. To conclude I do and would recommend The Bear & The Wren to anyone who wants to have a fantastic lunch or dinner with great service in a beautiful calm environment!“

“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“

“It’s convenient having so many little shops in the same vicinity. Breakfast, lunch, dinner or a mid-day pick me up the creamery market place has you covered.“

“Absolutely amazing service and amazing food. Went in for a taco, it was the juiciest taco I’ve ever had. Sick of most places serving meat with burnt pieces, charred scraps, and excessive amounts of fat. Taco de Mexico serves tacos with none of that. On top of that the rice is amazing, definitely authentic. And the service was so welcoming. Definitely coming back!“

“Really enjoyed Goshi Japanese Restaurant. Everything tasted fresh and delicious, the rolls were amazing, and the service was friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxed, making it a great spot for dinner in SLO. Definitely coming back!“

“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.“

“Their jalapeño potato salad is amazing and their turkey avocado sandwich!“

“Very nice experience!
We were a large party on a busy night. Leonard took care of us. We were early for our reservation and he worked hard to seat us early so we didn't have to wait. He sat us with Anne. She was great! Made sure we were stocked with chips and our glasses didn't empty. The food came quickly and was very good.
Don't forget that they do validate parking 😉“

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

“Not only was the food incredible but the staff was so kind! They offered suggestions when I wasn’t sure what I wanted. I got the edamame snack and char pork-siu bao. My husband got the “big Glizzy” with dijon mustard on the side. Theres lot of other options as well! Super recommend!“

“I had a wonderful dining experience here today. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and served with great care.

I especially loved the salmon dish, which was perfectly cooked and presented beautifully with orange slices. The soup was equally delicious and hit the spot. I will definitely be back for another meal soon.“

“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.“
