50 Best Coffee Shops near Santa Margarita

“nice coffee with nice staff and good food and drinks ☺️“

“Libby and her team did my desserts for my wedding and they knocked it out of the park! My now hubby has the biggest sweet tooth so this one was a decision he was apart of! We did a sample tasting where I went and purchased all the cookie and cupcake options and went home and taste. 10/10 recommend that! It was a fun date night we had our friends apart of! The day of the wedding they delivered all my goodies and set things up beautifully! I’m so thankful for Libby and her team at the bakery for being apart of our big day! 💕“

“I absolutely LOVE field day! I’ve been a customer for years now and I love bringing my golden retriever too. Every single barista is so kind and loves to make conversation. Trust me it’s the best matcha latte in all of San Luis Obispo!! I have been guilty of going twice a day lol. Get there early enough and snag an avocado toast but if not I love the homemade bagels! Truly will recommend this experience to anyone!“

“The best.coffee.ever. The standard of what all coffee should be measured against. Even in Italy ☕️“

“Thinking ice cream or something sweet? This place has the healthy alternative. I enjoyed the açaí and tropical bowl for under $10 each it felt like prices before the pandemic. With a beautiful view of Madonna mountain and a cozy atmosphere it feels relaxing and refreshing.“

“So happy we re-found these guys! They were AJ’s kitchen on the 41 and we went quite often there. They left that location and came here. It’s a quaint place with small section of seating indoors and a nice patio area outside. Enrique even remembers our names and it’s been at least a yr since we’ve seen him. We have always loved their food. And this time did not disappoint. The salsa was smoked just right. Chips are fresh. The pastrami sandwich was great. And the macaroni salad is the bomb! Seasoned just right. With this location they have beer but only one for the time being. We will definitely be back more now that we know where they are. If you haven’t been here, you are 100% missing out. Go check it out for yourself.“

“My go-to coffee & matcha spot in SLO. Tiny Cafe provides a great variety of drink options to choose from their seasonal menu. I like how different their coffee and matcha drinks are from other vendors, and how are sustainable they are as a business (they provide discounts if you bring your own cup, and bag for coffee beans).
Tiny Cafe can booked for events too. I’ve booked them for a company event once, and everyone sung praises on how good the drinks and pastries were. If you’re looking for a local coffee spot to support, Tiny Cafe is the place to go!“

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

“nice atmosphere. good coffee. friendly baristas.“

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

“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.“

“We both live out of town but every time we come to Atascadero we stop at this amazing coffee shop. Everything on the menu is truly AMAZING but the owners are beautiful people who know everyone by name including us! Honestly, if this wonderful gem were in Santa Barbara where we live there would be lines out to the street all day, everyday! Thank you, Paul
Kindly, John and Eileen“

“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!“

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

“Awesome so nice ☕☕ very good cup!!“

“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 is so full of life and love. How could you stay away!“

“I love Lucy’s!!! The baristas working there are always so sweet. The drinks and food are delicious, and my favorite is the avocado toast. Sit outside or in, the vibe is equally fun and comfy. Sitting outside on a nice sunny day is great with their picnic tables:) Highly recommend!“

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

“Human Bean in Atascadero, hands down some of the best coffee I’ve ever had. Not only do they serve up one of the best Chai’s, the service and experience is stellar. I was greeted by friendly faces, amazing service and great coffee. 11/10 would drive 30 minutes just to grab another fire side chai and the little chocolate bean they give me on my drink.“

“OMG best donuts ever. I have had cake donuts but never tried a Buttermilk donut before and it was amazing. Also you don't need powder sugar or glaze its very sweet and tasty on its own. Also they have seasonal specialty donuts - I tried their seasonal donut holes which were apple-cider flavored and they were also good but even better was their London Fog (with Lavender Syrup) and service. So Nice :)

Dietary restrictions: They also have vegan donuts but I did not try any“

“Blown away by the kindness and quality of product from SloCoDo in Atascadero. They helped us prepare a custom order all the way from the UK, took care of all the logistics and went above and beyond what we expected on the design. We were so thrilled, thank you!“

“I'm going to get so fat. My brother ordered chicken pot pie and a peach pie for our father, which I ended up eating half of. Pie is my favorite. There is never a bad time for pie. But this pie is straight from heaven. I will be coming in regularly. It was a great gift. Thank you Bramble!“

“Bre and gentlemen with her were amazing! Super sweet and considerate. We greatly appreciated their exceptional customer service. Hard to find coffee i order made how I like but the care that goes into their service showed in the coffee they made as well. Thanks again!“

“Great place to hang out and have coffee“

“Thank you it hit the spot on my 3 hour drive home“

“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 ❤️“

“I came to SLO for the weekend & found this cute coffee shop on TikTok that was highly recommended. The 2 young ladies that were working today were extremely sweethearts & understood my little complicated order! Lol they were extremely nice and the customer service was beyond exceptional. I love the set up of the coffee shop, I also bought some really cool stickers that the manger makes! I highly recommend this place! Can't wait to come back next time I'm in SLO, please check this place out! Worth every $$$ in my opinion!“

At entering, I'm greeted with a smile and surrounded by comfortable furniture, and beautiful artwork. The people are very kind, attentive and work hard to create a welcoming environment and excellent coffee, 5 stars!“

“Great place for coffee and quick bite“

“Nice place with a nice staff. Good drinks. A good group of regulars. Good service.“

“Good drinks. Peach sparkling tea was delicious. Was happy to see snacks like potstickers and steamed pork buns. Cute ambience. There are two ordering kiosks, probably the best way to order as there are only two people working. There is an associated kiosk fee“

“A nearby Starbucks was closed so I came here instead. Unfortunately this place was PACKED, lots of people waiting for their orders, only 3 people behind the counter, seemed like one was in training. Jon immediately welcome every customer in anyway, he asked how your day was going while packing other order and seemed to be a master of doing 10 things at once while keeping the focus on the customer. 10/10 made my day better and made my experience pleasant in what could have easily been irritating and frustrating.“

“Dark Nectar has the best scones around, and an incredible vibe. Come see for yourself!“

“Thank you Starbucks!... And a big shout out to the baristas, especially during the Coronavirus!! You guys are amazing, full of smiles & a happy attitude! You make our day feel a little normal!😘💯🌈“

“Ace Sushi is always good!“

“I love the local homey feel of this place . The regulars are always there and welcoming . They have day old donuts that taste just as freshly made as the others and at a super crazy discounted price . Staff is always welcoming and attentive. Really love the old-school feel with the cute little tables .“

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

“Ian helped us with our order and was very knowledgeable, he suggested I try cinnamon in my drink when I told him to surprise me. It was really good! He was friendly and just made the whole thing much more pleasant. I wanted to toot his horn cuz you don't run into very good customer service these days but this guy is out here making the world a better place, one transaction at a time!“

“I always enjoy the quality of Starbucks coffee and I appreciate the convenience of the kiosk version inside stores like Target; however the service and speed one comes to expect from the Starbucks brand is always lacking in these smaller operations.“

“The atmosphere is amazing from the moment you walk in — calming music, classic decor, and super friendly staff. My girlfriend and I came in for breakfast and had a great experience. Joella and Isabell took excellent care of us, constantly checking in, offering water and salsa, and making sure everything was perfect. Highly recommend for anyone looking for great food and even better service!“

“The place radiated cleanliness, the drive-thru offered a pleasant experience, and the staff exuded friendliness. The coffee and food arrived exactly as ordered. It's refreshing to enjoy a moment without needing to correct or complain. This location truly exemplifies excellence.“

“The Banana bread is good. I go there everytime Im in Pismo“

“it is a very friendly place, the staff are very friendly. Every thing is clean and the staff are always happy to fix you any thing that that might be different. Linda“

“I'm not usually a huge Starbucks fan... but I received a gift card for Christmas and stopped by to use it. I have to say, the Toasted White Chocolate Mocha was really good and the Impossible Breakfast sandwich might just be my new fave! Still not gonna spend $5.50 on an 800 calorie coffee everyday... but, I will definitely stop by for a sandwich and a coffee now and then. (And my granddaughter loves those cake pops... so they can't be all bad!)“
