Linnaea's Cafe

This is the best place for a relaxing coffee experience. The coffee is great and the muffins/pasties are fantastic. Expect a very low key environment.

Vegan friendly! One of the very few shops offering vegan bakery in the area, and there's more than one item to choose from. The staff were great, the drinks were great, the seating area was artistically mismatched/shabby chic and included a garden out back. I recommend this place to others and will return frequently. TIP- Try the apple cider!

The food and drink were great. Lots of gluten free options. But the indoor seating felt like I was in a library. About 10 other patrons were there for lunch, each on their own table with a drink working on their laptops. All dead quite. The patio out back would have been wonderful, but it was 109 degrees outside that day.

Not very welcoming staff and coffee wasn’t that hot or good. The bathroom had a huge line and once I got in it was super dirty (not very anti COVID). Won’t be trying again too many better places to go in the area. Also disturbing political art on wall instead of beautiful paintings that were posted in other reviews.

Gorgeous patio but the girl making my tea put straight loose leaves in my drink... like with no bag filter or anything... Couldn't drink 1/4 of my order and got surprised with a mouthful of leaves 😉👌 Nice patio tho

This is the best cafe in SLO:
1. They have a beautiful outdoor patio in the back that's the perfect place to sit and enjoy your coffee with some peace and quiet
2. Their baked goods are amazing and they always have a ton of gluten free options (muffins, scones, cookies...). You can also order a cake for an event from their bakery. Sooo delicious!
3. Their coffee is delicious, their tea selection is amazing, and their chai lattes are perfect. Lots of options regarding milk, etc.

Check this place out!

One of several storied and loved places in downtown SLO. Excellent vibe, diverse clientele, okay prices, great variety of well-crafted coffee/tea drinks and snacks/pastries. Come for the coffee, stay and visit a while. You'll love the outdoor seating in the back patio!

Good place. Nice variety of drinks, cookies and cake. Has live music sometimes and a wonderful open air garden in the back where you can sit and have your coffee. I Definitely recommend this place and will continue to come back here.

Cute hidden away cafe! Stopped in on a whim and had an amazing cappuccino 🤩 the ladies working we're super helpful and informative with the drink/food options. I had a chocolate almond cappuccino and a chocolate sea salt cookie 🍪 - best decision of the evening. I highly recommend this spot for a nice drink or to just sit and relax.

Nice place for coffee or tea. Lots of loose leaf to choose from. There's a nice seating area in the back alley with plants and decor. I wouldnt recommend their breakfast burrito though. The ingredients were canned (beans for example) and it tasted pretty bland. Otherwise, the staff are nice and the serice is quick.
