“Great service and delicious food. Especially enjoyed the bacon and egg chilaquiles! Will be back soon!“

“Centrally located in the quaint historic downtown, on a side street with little traffic. Handicap parking spot right in front of the shop. A few tables and chairs to sit outside and enjoy your coffee in the sun. Large, bright interior with bright sunlight shining through the window. Plenty of seatings with high top and regular chairs. While busy when visiting there was basically no wait. Served quickly by a young, friendly and attentive associate. Good selection of hot and cold beverages and nice pastries. Counter area and tables were kept very clean. Great quality and reasonable pricing. Excellent find, will be our must stop when coming to or passing through SLO!“

“I admire this spot! They serve decent food, they have a rich menu, The chief cook in that place is a real authority in the kitchen, I love very much tasting all their food. The dishes are always of high class, the attitude towards the customers is good. I often eat in this restaurant and I not even once was disappointed. I highly recommend it.“

“Great customer service and the baristas are the best in town!“

“Great vibe immediately upon walking in the door. First rate service. Might be the best breakfast burrito I’ve ever had. Outstanding coffee…medium americano. Killer art. Skater/surfer/local artist/inclusive tags galore. They’re doing it right and the comfort, along with the smiles, of the patrons was clearly evident and confirming.“

“Delicious Café Latte, great service. I highly recommend it.“

“Walking into the Del Monte Café feels like stepping back in time—in the best way possible. The vintage charm and cozy atmosphere instantly set the tone for a relaxed and nostalgic dining experience. The service was excellent. Our waitress was both friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed without hovering. Food-wise, it was mostly great. The fries were perfectly crispy, and the ranch dressing was surprisingly standout—creamy, flavorful, and clearly homemade. My turkey melt, while tasty, was a little on the soggy side. My companion enjoyed the French dip, though noted the portion size was on the smaller side. Meals were priced around $16–$17, which seems about average for the area. I’d definitely come back to try a burger next time, and I’ve heard their breakfasts are excellent—especially the ones with chili. A solid local spot worth checking out if you’re in the mood for a classic diner vibe“

“Lukom, Absolutely delightful! This Turkish sweet store is a hidden gem. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted with the rich aroma of freshly made baklava and traditional treats. Every piece tastes like it was crafted with love and heritage — the pistachios are generous, the syrup is perfectly balanced, and the textures are just heavenly. The staff is incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable, always ready to offer samples and recommendations. Whether you’re a fan of classic delights or looking to try something new, this place is a must-visit. A little piece of Turkey right in the heart of Dan Luis Obispo, CA ❤️“

“Great place for coffee and quick bite“

“Generous portions; delicious food; wonderful service; felt right at home! Stacy (our hostess) was warm and friendly. Fast service! If you’re passing through Paso Robles you gotta stop!“

“Love to study at Kreuzberg! Atmosphere is upbeat but not offensive. Food is great and coffee is delicious!“

“I love this place! I got probably 3 or 4 tims a month. Everything crepes are awesome! They went up in price but still solid. Their snow Taro and Thai tea boba are freaking perfect. I wish they were open earlier, but I understand it's on the college side of town. The guys in the mornings are super friendly!“

“Impressive service!,food and atmosphere! THE BEST place in Atascadero to eat. I hate going out to eat (no one cooks as good as home cooking) BUT hands down great food! I loved the patio seating! Not a negative to be found. 40+ year resident and ex waitress . Thank you!!“

“Had a really great homemade breakfast! Scones are insane! And the coffee is amazing!“

“Awesome so nice ☕☕ very good cup!!“

“plenty of places to chill at indoors and outdoors Nice outside patio area in the back“

“When I’m in town this always my go to place. Love the coffee, food, baristas and the atmosphere.“

“The pastries are exquisite but be ready to pay for the experience of tasting! The espresso drink is priced about what the chains charge so complaint there. The almond croissant had very little of the paste inside which was disappointing. There are breakfast meals available which provide protein and are priced at about what the coffee and croissant cost.“

“Great vibe immediately upon walking in the door. First rate service. Might be the best breakfast burrito I’ve ever had. Outstanding coffee…medium americano. Killer art. Skater/surfer/local artist/inclusive tags galore. They’re doing it right and the comfort, along with the smiles, of the patrons was clearly evident and confirming.“
