“The breakfast burrito that Trevor, Nikki and team are putting together here is fabulous! Very welcoming environment. My 4th time eating here and I've tried different things every time. It's all good! 😃“

“The most creative menu and remarkable Mexican food I have had in years. Everything was unique, obviously make with care and love. Can't wait to return. The beautiful restaurant is loaded with heart and very soulful. These folks know about feeding the heart.“

“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.“

“The food was delicious and all ingredients were so fresh. Great value. I will definitely return.“

“we absolutely loved Linnaea's Cafe. Tasty espresso, baked good and burritos. Cute establishment, Nice barista in an amazing location. We will be back!“

“What a nice surprise this ended up being. On top of the decadent pastries, starting with the pistachio roll that I had to try, I could’ve spent all day in here, trying samples. That being said, you can sample as many things as you want. I end up buying some of the pistachio treats as well as some Turkish coffee. They were incredibly friendly in here and really just wanted to help out. Also check out the decorations in here. It’s a very cool spot.“

“Great place for coffee and quick bite“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“I didn't learn about the greatness of an iced Chai latte until my first one here. I've now tried many iced Chai lattes across the state and they all suck in comparison. Thanks for making the best Iced Chai Lattes around!“

“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.“

“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“

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

“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!!“

“Been coming here for years for the strawberry snow bubble (wife) and a matcha milk tea (me). 5% of the time the matcha has tasted a little stale but it may have been because I added boba pearls and wasn't used to the flavor. 9 out of 10 times it's exactly what I expect; fast, tasty, and a fair priced.“

“Awesome so nice ☕☕ very good cup!!“

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

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

“We loved it! Excellent breakfast! Laid back atmosphere with friendly service. We especially loved the pancakes.“

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

“Just stop in for the pictures and then leave. Food not even close to decent. Just keep driving towards the coast. We had the steak sandwich and halibut steak. Tums for dessert it is..“

“the good people good food“

“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.“
