Steaming Bean

I normally love this place and have had super good service here but whoever was working afternoon on 11/6 was rude af. Really killed our vibe. Coffee was good though! Overall service is usually really good!

Popular local Cafe in Pismo Beach near Dinosaur Cave park and Shell Beach. Had their huge breakfast burrito with sausage.

Very cute place and dog friendly. I wish I had preferred something else though. I got the Spanish scramble and it was just scrambled eggs with salsa, avocado, and raw tomatoes on the side. The success were cold of course but I didn't like mixing all that cold into my warm eggs, it cooled my eggs off immediately. I guess I was expecting it to be mixed together and a little more substantial. It was a deconstructed scramble. I did have a bite of the breakfast burrito which was delicious! Decent self serve coffee selection.

Best breakfast burrito!! Best Dirty Pumpkin Spice Chai EVER!!! I hope this place stays open forever.

Delicious fresh coffee with sugar free flavor add-ins available. My personal favorite is the SF vanilla chai. Always busy, but still a relaxed atmosphere.

This place was recommended to us while we were in town and we weren't ready for what we were walking into. First off, it's got that desired, hidden gem kind of feel to it when you first come upon it, like it's either going to be a magical experience or leave you wondering how it stays in business. Y'all, it was magical. Service was super pleasant, not off-putting, in your face customer service, felt like authentic human beings trying enjoy themselves and the customer. Then, I don't know how you could do anything but enjoy the food and drinks 🤤 not kidding, my favorite coffee order, so completely fulfilled everything I want in a drink, and I got a breakfast sandwich that was 1, tasty and filling, and 2, didn't feel like a gut bomb I'd have to walk off for the next half hour. I think if we were locals, I would be at the Steaming Bean way too often. Makes me jealous of locals having this gem just waiting to serve them!

Lovely venue with a nice range of breakfast foods and drinks. You can take out your food, however there’s also nice seating inside and outside. The staff were efficient and friendly, getting our food quickly. Overall the quality and cleanliness were great.

From a tourist point of view, it is a decent place for a cup of latte; price is not cheap, but being a tourist place, it is anticipated.

Solid brewed coffee and the Mexican Mocha was delicious. The food was great as well; lemon scones and granola bowls were fresh and tasty.

Been coming here for over 10+ years. When I’m in town, this is the go-to coffee shop. I see a lot of the same regulars in there every morning. Ironically, I don’t think I’ve ever seen the same staff members more than once. That’s irrelevant, but the coffee is great. Daughter loves the blueberry muffins, too.
