I really liked this place! I was delighted by the beautiful presentation of my macchiato, and the cute lil complimentary biscotti was a nice surprise. The espresso tasted smooth, not burnt or sour. The baristas were friendly and put off a nice vibe. I really appreciated that! The space is clean, cozy, airy, and bright. Seems to get nice sun in the afternoon! It's on the smaller side, but my friends and I were able to find a table on a Sunday afternoon. Indoor seating, plus two picnic tables outside. Clean bathroom. Parking is easy. Just drive around the block, find a spot, and walk over. It's not far. There are disabled parking spots right up front if you need that.

3 parking spots and zero street parking thanks to bike lanes and no parking zone. Really wanted to try their coffee but ended up at Scout coffee.

Great coffee. Was really impressed with the care that goes into making a drink here. The result was delicious. Both the latte and flat white we had were excellent!

Only speciality coffee shop in San Luis Obispo County who has consistent/quality espresso. They only use organic/fair trade ingredients and train their staff extensively on how to make espresso. Staff very friendly. Favorite spot for sure.

Solid coffee, tastes great. & I’m picky about my coffee. Got the Drip Coffee. Tried the latte as well, a little milky but pretty good.

Great spot to enjoy a coffee while you watch the hustle and bustle of downtown SLO. Spacious interior with plenty of natural light. The cappuccinos are on point and there are a few baked good items. There are spots for studying, social settings, or just quiet little retreats. Plenty of board games available to entertain a group of friends.

This is my go-to spot downtown to study or hang out. The coffee and matcha lattes are great, the staff are super friendly, and the vibe is really nice.
