38 Best Coffee Shops near Santa Margarita

“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! 😃“

“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! 💕“

“Stopped for coffee and to squeeze in some work. Ordered the Abuelita's coffee, and though I'm not usually an oat milk fan, it was delicious! The staff was very friendly and welcoming as well. Plenty of tables inside with great music! I do wish they had some quick bites like a croissant or muffin, but other than that, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!“

“Stopped in to caffeinate after a long bike ride and could not have guessed what a treat I was in for. I was looking forward to a simple cold brew but was tempted by the many exciting and thoughtful offerings. I ended up trying the bourbon cold brew with a caramel drizzle, made with coffee beans aged in oak barrels that previously stored whiskey. The barista made the recommendation and generously tinkered with the caramel to coffee ratio to achieve the desired sweetness level. I enjoyed my coffee drink at the tables outside while I soaked up the mid afternoon. This is the life.“

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

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

“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.“

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

“Awesome so nice ☕☕ very good cup!!“

“I had a really warm and friendly experience coming in here for an iced latte for myself and an iced mocha for my boyfriend, which he said was amazing!! The Little Cafe has a unique and cozy vibe that sets it apart from others. A small town coffee shop that feels genuine and heartfelt. The sort of cafe that instills a sense of character in the community.“

“Great coffee spot in SLO. Very laid-back and spacious with both indoor and outdoor seating in a very zen open air space. They have well-made lattes, but I also was really impressed by their tea. I got an iced version of a hibiscus herbal tea. It was prepared well and not too watered down.

Great spot to come hang out and do work or have a chill catch up with friends. Staff are very nice and welcoming too. They also have a very cute shop of assorted goods next-door, which I enjoyed as well. Definitely one of the best coffee spots in SLO.“

“Great place to hang out and have coffee“

“Such a bright, cheerful atmosphere with the friendliest staff — every visit puts me in a good mood. I love how creative and healthy the drinks are, especially the matcha options. And that’s saying a lot because I normally don’t even like matcha! It’s actually the first place I go every time I visit from San Diego. Everything feels fresh, welcoming, and thoughtfully made. Definitely one of my favorite coffee spots.“

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

“This is such a cute coffee shop with lots of natural light. We came to town for a track meet and found this online. The employees are very welcoming and friendly. The gentleman taking our order suggested the salted caramel ice cream for my affogato and it was absolutely delicious. My son got the caramel macchiato and loved that also. The chocolate croissant was tasty. They toast the bagels perfectly and I was pleasantly surprised that they cut it in quarters after adding the cream cheese. It was so much easier and less messy to eat that way. I wish we had a place like this in Santa Maria. I will definitely be craving this coffee until next time I drive through for one. I wish I would have taken pictures but they almost disappeared instantly lol.“

“The açai protein bowls are to die for, As well as the refreshers. The owner here takes pride and using nothing but natural products. And you can taste the difference thank you for being a sponsor of our local Facebook page Atascadero anything uncensored“

“My partner and I have come in a few times now and have loved all their different smoothies! They're filling and flavorful without feeling too heavy or overly sweet. The ladies working here are always so sweet and even offered us a freebie sample of one of their energy refreshers. Will be 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.“

“nice atmosphere. good coffee. friendly baristas.“

“Always great and always awesome service!“

“6 months ago I went to this place and payed a dollar for an air cup. By air cup I mean the employee gave me an empty water cup when I asked for water. And charged me for it. After this I had a very enlightening experience recently when a wonderful employee proceeded to give me a bunch of chocolate beans. Therefore I take back my 1 star review and give you a 4.“

“free coffee. that is all 😋“

“Great coffee served in a warehouse-y environment thats cold, clammy, and blasting music so loud you can’t even think. Some big comfy couches and chairs, rugs on the floor, warm decor, and calmer quieter music would go a long way to make me want to come back in a town with a ton of options. Feels like Starbucks dressed up as a community coffee shop. Also no food in the case by lunch time so if you’re hungry go somewhere else.“

“I love sweetie cup! They have such yummy drinks and amazing service! They have such a wide selection that you can’t find anywhere in slo! The owners are so sweet and wholesome!! The vibe of the shop reminds me of my great grandmother with so many little trinkets! My friends and I love this place!!“

“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.“

“Everything about this place is exceptional!! Exceptional coffees and teas, exceptional delicious and VERY fresh food and incredible service!! 🤎🤎🤎“

“Located right smack in the middle of Julian’s downtown, this landmark café and apple pie shop has a lively old-fashioned diner atmosphere, friendly staff and is bedecked with antique family photos and shelves of jams and sauces for sale. I was expecting a bit more from the food; we ordered the top two items listed on the menu – chicken pot pie turnover in a pie crust with coleslaw and Back Country fried chicken with mashed potatoes. The menu is huge and varied so I think I'd try something else next time.“

“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!“

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

“They are all just total sweeties here, and the drinks are super tasty, but whoever the young man with the short dark curly hair taking orders outside today (Monday, July 6th). He’s just wonderful. Give him a raise (no, I don’t know him). Great job on all the hires.“

“Ate here for breakfast this morning (took my food to go) and was welcomed with such cheer and friendliness by staff I felt immediately very welcomed. I had the Breakfast Burrito, they made it to my liking and, oh my gosh, was it delicious! I also got an apple fritter (for dessert) and it was excellent. It's a superb place to go for breakfast and great coffee and many tasty drinks and I very highly recommend Libertine for breakfast! I can't say enough about how their authentic friendliness and cheerfulness made my day. I wish all restaurants/coffee houses were this kind and friendly. Thank you!“

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

“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“

“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!😘💯🌈“

“Excellent custom Services.❤😊🎆🎇“

“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.“

“Ace Sushi is always good!“
