Banner Coffee Company

Great crafted coffee drinks, very tasty, and made right. Staff is also always very welcoming and friendly. Their pastry (5 or 6 options) are quite tasty as well and fresh. Ambience is modern and spacy and very enjoyable to sip a coffee. There are many "coffee shops" close by, Banner is top of the list

My favorite coffee shop in the 5 cities! Their teas are the best I've had in years too. And the dining room is huge and spacious with lots of space to work. Nicest people.

Slow AF. Mainly due to them being extremely friendly to their existing regulars that they chat up at the counter for literally 5 minutes, while we're waiting behind them the whole time, before they place an order and keep the line moving and take our order. One person was taking orders and another being the barista and we ordered 2 iced lattes. 10 minutes later the line clears and the person taking orders finished making a drink and goes to chat with customers as the original barista goes to clean tables.

At that point no one was finishing our order and I go up to the counter and noticed only 1 of our lattes were done with the other cup empty. The original barista cleaning tables noticed me checking for the order and rushed back to finish it, which I appreciate her noticing and doing so. After finishing the order, our name wasn't called but I came back to the counter and asked if it was for so and so. But right as I was asking, an existing regular talks to the barista and takes her attention away from me, and I had to ask her again, which she finally confirms and continues talking to the regular without skipping a beat.

I'm not used to SLO culture, is this how it is? I don't sense the urgency and we felt non existent. In terms of the coffee, it was an bit bb bitter even after adding my own sweetener, usually does the trick but not for this coffee. I don't mean to post negative reviews but I felt compelled this time.

Smoothest iced coffee ☕️ & friendly service!

Banner. What can I say? Ryan has a permanent crooked smirky smile and greets me with a “what’s up dude?” Which literally makes my day better every time I walk in because these guys, Ben and Ryan, the coffee Boyzzz, are like the Zeus and Hercules of local coffee on the central coast. And Ben had Greek Godlike calves to pair from riding his bike all over the world. Their other employees are amazing as well. Brennan is like a happy cartoon character and Emma is as cool as a iced coffee cucumber. I go nowhere else for coffee. Why? Because I’m smart. Banner is where it is at. Not to mention I have stolen their Spotify playlist a few times over now.

If you enjoy coffee, especially when it's great coffee, this is the place to go. As far as quality of coffee, expertise on flavoring of coffee, and what it pairs with, this is a win. Each and everyday that I go here is a wonderful adventure and experience. Simply ask, "what's on for espresso today?" and you will be delighted by what you hear.

Ultimately, if you frequent Banner you will learn to appreciate coffee not just as a drink, but as an experience.

Well brewed and surprisingly inexpensive coffee.
These guys are cheerful and such a delight! The place is absolutely gorgeous, can’t wait to be able to sit down inside and enjoy this tasteful coffee.
For now we will take it on the go and enjoy it at home.
So glad to see a local coffee spot that is warm and inviting as well as absolutely delicious.

Fantastic buisness! Very clean and cut store. Not a crumb anywhere! Chai tastes fantastic! Very friendly staff. 5/5 would recommend.

Hands down, my favorite coffee shop in the area. Excellent, meticulously made coffee, friendly people, and a good place to chill/work.

I had a mocha, it was about average. Nice clean shop, and good wifi. I saw only one outlet, so make sure ur battery is topped off. 😎
