50 Best Coffee Shops near Santa Margarita

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

“Always a special treat! Be sure to check out their savory breakfast items too.“

“My favorite coffee spot in Atascadero. These guys do a great job, staff is incredibly friendly and coffee is always good. It's also probably the least expensive specialty coffee place around for drinks and beans. I always find them to be very fair and they'll even throw in a small coffee free if you buy a pound of coffee. They have great indoor and outdoor seating, good vibes all around for working on a computer, hanging with friends or bringing a book.

Dietary restrictions: Plenty of options for alternative milks.“

“nice atmosphere. good coffee. friendly baristas.“

“Absolutely wonderful spot, with lovely feel-good vibes, to start your day in San Luis. Coffee is all fantastic (especially the drip, gibraltar, and macchiato); the yogurt + granola bowl is refreshing and topped with a generous dose of strawberries + blueberries; the housemade bagel sandwich is perfectly executed in every way; and the avo toast (served with oversized wedges of delightfully fresh + chewy sourdough) is a toast lover’s dream.

Highly recommend for your morning routine in town! ☕️ “

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

“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.“

“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!“

“I had the tri-tip sandwich and it was excellent“

“Great place to hang out and have coffee“

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

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

“Definitely my new go-to smoothie place.

Me and my friend came here to see what this little business was about. The owner was soooo nice to us, possibly the sweetest business owner lady I’ve met in SLO. The açaí bowl and butterfinger smoothie were delicious and perfectly sweet! They have a bunch of fun games on the tables and we spent an hour playing chess (i lost)“

“I think this is the best coffee-shop coffee I have ever bought! Everyone in our party loved their coffee - cappuccino, lattes, drip coffee and loose leaf tea were all fantastic! My muffin was also delicious. Definitely a place for many returns!“

“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!“

“As somebody who is a caffeine abuser, obviously I need my coffee. Coastal peaks provides me with exceptional cold brews and afternoon teas. However the thing I look forward to the most is the experience. You go in and are greeted by awesome baristas that make you feel welcomed and no matter how busy they are, they go out of their way to greet you with a smile and answer any questions you have. They are the best part of my morning“

“The baked goods are tasty and very good. The coffee is all hand made and just perfect. They have different types of coffees, teas, and other beverages, so you have to go multiple times to sample them all. It’s worth the trip. The butter mochi is a great cheesecake alternative, not too sweet, just right. Their Taipei style beef noodle is among the best I’ve tasted this far north of LA. If you have a need for Japanese staples, like rice and noodles, they have that in their mini store, as well. The staff is friendly and helpful. Enjoy there lo-fi BGM. You need to go and keep this business going. Incredibly tasty Asian inspired dishes of great quality in SLO.

Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access“

“Lovely atmosphere, every employee I've encountered has been incredibly friendly and personable and the coffee tastes great

Parking: The spots located on garden street are all passenger loading, so if you're planning to dine in I would suggest side street parking or even the parking garage“

“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“

“This little coffee shop is absolutely amazing. My wife and even my kids drive from Tulare, CA just to stop and say hi and grab a coffee (the blended Chai is our favorite) my wife and kids used to stop every day when they lived here and even now we make the drive for some. It's worth the short stop if you're passing through for some of the best coffee and friendliest service you will ever receive.“

“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.“

“I recently visited Kreuzberg, and I must say, the food was fantastic! The flavors were well-balanced, and each dish was thoughtfully prepared. The ambiance was cozy yet vibrant, making it a great spot to relax with friends or enjoy a quiet meal.“

“Visiting SLO for a wedding and decided to drop by this spot for coffee and a small bite. The coffee was "ok", the pastry selection is limited, but the chicken quesadilla was bomb. Overall, a great spot to catch-up with good company. The staff was friendly. Would recommend.“

“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!“

“A true treasure for anyone who has ever walked through its welcoming doors.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“I wish they would open the bathrooms again!!“

“The server was very welcoming and answered all my questions patiently and enthusiastically. The Turkish delight and Turkish coffee were excellent and presented very elegantly.

Dietary restrictions: They did have gluten free and vegan options for the Turkish delight.“

“The layout is a bit confusing since I'm not used to drive through and walk ups, but got it figured out. The staff was friendly and directed me to the walk up window. Nice that they have a couple seats out front. Nice menu, will have to come back for the pumpkin chai next time. Ordered the mexican mocha and it was really good. A nice change from just a super sweet mocha, has a lot of nice fall spice to it. Service was fast and friendly. I'll make sure to use the drive through on occasion since we drive this route often.“

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

“The boba here is amazing since they use real tea, and tastes much better than the other syrupy boba places. The atmosphere is super nice and I like looking at all the statues and teapots available. The sweetness is just right, not too cloying and the boba is always fresh.“

“Their coffee is sooooooo stong WOW ? but amazing service! Very nice young lady works there and the inside atmosphere is relaxing. Many people I know claim this as their favorite coffee shop. I got an iced mocha for about $5.50?



Parking: Not lot, paid street parking“

“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.“

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

“Absolutely impressive. I adore this place, providing the perfect atmosphere for drinking coffee at any time in the day. 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 baristas and good service.“

“Ace Sushi is always good!“

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

“Fast and great service overall. But why does the time they open says 6. We sat there for 10 minutes even drove up to the window and staff just looked at us. Date 04/21/2024 didn't even have the courtesy to let us know if they were actually opened or not. Yet they were making drinks which means pre-orders were coming in. Very disappointed on today's staff.“

“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!“

“Super busy location but the staff is on top of it. Great service!**Parking is a nightmare partially because the nail salon is always moving cars around so their staff can get better parking spots throughout the day, lol** but I can’t fault Starbucks for that.“

“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!“
