    Kicked off our camping weekend with a pit stop at Banner Coffee. Now, I wish we had a Banner Coffee in OC too! This cute coffee shop is a great space for getting some work done while enjoying a delicious crafted coffee and a light breakfast. I got the hojicha latte with the seasonal caramel, and it was so so so good! The sweet and saltiness of the caramel paired so well with the smooth hojicha. I also had their version of a ham and cheese croissant, which was the perfect bite of energy before a day at the beach. They also sell retail goods here, so I of course had to pick up one of the t-shirts to remember this trip. This coffee shop had plenty of space, and a breakfast menu. The workers here are super sweet and friendly. I also loved that they gave us some recs as it was our first time here. Parking was a little confusing, so we opted to do street parking just to be safe. We also came right at opening so there weren't any crowds.

    Finally got a chance to try this cafe. Banner Coffee serves some delicious coffee. Once you step in you are greeted some amazing coffee aromas and a very modern contemporary decorated area. You'll find families, remote workers, students all enjoying the space. Walking up to the cashier, you'll pass by some very high quality coffee beans by some European roasters. I DID buy some coffee, to brew at home. DELICIOUS. I bought the Ethiopian beans roasted in Germany. Back to the cafe. I ordered the Everything Nice coffee. A great drink for a rainy day. My wife ordered the matcha latte. It was fine. We also ordered a scone. We came too late to order some hot food unfortunately. The scone was also fine. The coffee was so good I decided to do my personal test, a cortado- 1:1 espresso with steamed milk. Nailed it. It was delicious. The customer service and coffee definitely shone in our experience. I'm looking forward to coming again. If you'd like a nice specialty coffee experience, this is a great place.

    Avocado toast without the bacon, simple but delicious

    It's been a hot minute since I last reviewed a coffee shop. Let's give a round of applause to Banner Coffee! Delicious and beautiful latte! Plentyyyy of seatings! Huge plus for having food options. I didn't realize that there are sooo many coffee shops in the 5 cities until I started looking up a new coffee shop to try and get started on a new book. Banner popped up with so many great reviews, plus their few food options early in the morning was the main determination factor for me. Parking was fairly easy to find with the connecting parking lot next to the church. I didn't expect the inside to be so spacious from the look on the outside. The coffee shop was pretty busy when I got there at about 9:30am on a weekday, but I didn't have any problem snatching a table by the window. 1 star Decided to go with a matcha latte and avocado toasts since a few yelpers spoke so highly of them in the reviews. They delivered! The drink and the toast came out quickly. They call for your name and you just pick up everything from the counter. The matcha was nice and smooth from their housemade almond milk, with a good amount of matcha flavor. I opted out of the bacon bits on top of my avocado toast. The toast looks pretty simple, almost to the point of boring, but the flavor was excellent, and the bread they used was the perfect thickness that provides a good mix of crunch of softness. 4 stars Overall, it's one of my favorite coffee shops in the area now. Highly recommend! This is the breakdown of my rating for coffee shops: Quality of coffee/drinks/food: up to 2 stars Consistently offer latte art: 1 Star Atmosphere: 1 Star Customer service: 1 Star

    Arrived. Love their fresh, clean aesthetic.

    Cute & quality place! Lots of good seating both in door and outdoor. I wad thrilled when I was a black sesame iced americano on the menu. Never seen anything like that. I also loved that it was an americano and not cold brew but because cb can really give me the jitters. This was perfect. Service was friendly. Banner coffee made a fun road trip stop!

    Pretty good coffee spot with good coffee, drinks and decent breakfast burrito. My wife got the avocado toast, and I got the breakfast burrito and we are both pretty pleased with it although the burrito kind of fell apart and it was a little messy from the aïoli that they put into it. Everything seemed pretty new and clean. The bathrooms were clean and there was plenty of places to sit I would come back here. Service was pretty good and Quick.

    Honey Cinnamon Latte To-Go

    I discovered Banner Coffee Company a few months ago through social media, and it has quickly become one of my absolute favorite coffee shops in SLO County. The space is modern, minimalist, and incredibly open--perfect for getting work done when I need a change of scenery from working from home. What really sets Banner apart is their commitment to high-quality, single-origin coffee. They feature some of the best roasters I've seen in the area, including HEX (North Carolina) and Stereoscope (Los Angeles), both in their drinks and as whole beans for sale. Their team is always friendly, and every drink is crafted with great attention to detail--favorites so far include the Maple Butterscotch Latte, Stereoscope single-origin espresso (served beautifully with tonic water), and the Honey Cinnamon Latte. Everything I've tried has been exceptional, standing out from other coffee shops in the area. Banner is a true gem on the Central Coast--energetic, modern, and serving up some of the best coffees around SLO county. I'll definitely be coming back for years to come!

    Another great coffee shop! Super delicious pastries...we got the chocolate crescent and scones that was bacon date. Other breakfast options. Really friendly service and big sitting area inside and out. Clean and comfortable. Lot's of great drinks to pick from.

    To go please

    I recently moved and stumbled across Banner Coffee since it's close to my workplace, and I'm so glad I did! The food was delicious, and the coffee was absolute perfection. Very rarely do I say that about coffee; it usually needs either more milk or more sweetener, but in this case, it needed nothing at all. It was smooth, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. The staff was friendly, and the coffee shop had an open, welcoming feel with plenty of seating. We especially loved all the Dodger bobbleheads on display! I can't wait to go back!

    The coffee here is LEGIT, for a TRUE craft coffee connoisseur. The ambiance is wonderful coffee ambiance for anyone looking to concentrate, study or catch up with a friend. Plenty of seating and it's spaced out. The service is just fine :) I'm from Los Angeles. I travel through on the 101 on my way to Monterey, a few times a year. I stay over in SLO or Pismo Beach & I'm always on the hunt for true good coffee at every city between home and my destination. Coffee beans are everything, besides what you do with them, for my drink. It's very difficult to gauge coffee spots on Yelp as you leave SoCal, because they're usually overly positive and the reviewers vary in what they like out of a coffee shop. But I finally found a winner & a keeper in Banner Coffee! Like I said, the coffee is legitimate in roast, flavor, and execution. Nothing gimmicky here, just serious true coffee. This is my top pic in this whole area. I'm so glad I gave it a shot. As a true coffee connoisseur - I recommend :)

    Menu... cool offerings! No heavy cream.
    Carrie R.

    Tried the cardamom capp with half and half, less sweet. The barista was friendly and accommodating. She made a beautiful design too that I didn't get to photograph as I was too eager to try this new flavor! Perfect flavor and sweetness level. Many cafes go overboard with sweet and overpower the light flavor profiles of the coffee and specialty flavors. This capp was well balanced and temp was perfect to enjoy right away. The cafe is spacious and super clean. Easy to find a spot to sit and would be nice to spend some time in there in conversation with a cup of capp. We also tried an iced mocha. The flavor was light, as was the sweetness, Would get both drinks again. Great experience. Looking forward to trying other offerings:)

    Honey & Cinnamon Latte
    Amanda T.

    This is a really cute coffee spot in the SLO area. I ordered their honey and cinnamon latte with oat milk (hot) to go and it was delicious. They also sell food and coffee-related stuff like cups, etc. The cafe itself is quite spacious with in-door seating. There's also a private lot outside so parking isn't a hassle. The service was good, I didn't wait too long before receiving my drink. The barista was also very friendly. I definitely recommend checking this place out if you are in the area.

    Kat N.

    Banner's reputation precedes it. When the coffee enthusiasts in my life recommended this beautiful coffee shop, I knew I had to visit it during my time in SLO. Truly a wonderful experience and some of the best coffee I've had! The matcha is also excellent!

I am a coffee snob and have my own espresso machine at home but love visiting new coffee shops and Tribe Coffee did not disappoint. Was given recommendations by the staff, based on what i usually drink and tried something new and different and I truly enjoyed it. Skip the chain coffee shops and come support this very unique coffeehouse. Will be back! In this visit we had a kids hot chocolate, Honey Rose Latte and Velvet Virtue.

Somehow they really do blend together. Now one would expect the drink to be more green or pink somehow but it's pretty natural, which makes sense with the overall vibe of the place. No artificial colorings or flavorings here. Ham & cheese: The pastries seem to rotate so there isn't a set food menu. They had an assortment of pastries available and my preference leans more savory so a toasted ham and cheese was perfect for me for lunch. Service was friendly and informative - they have a pretty extensive menu but the staff know the menu and can offer recommendations. The ambiance is really what would deter me from coming back. Personally, it's just not my vibe, feels a little bit claustrophobic like I'm in a old beachside cottage or mini barn. The floors are worn and tired and pained this jarring shade of teal. The plate my ham and cheese was served on was a similar shade. Blue is not a color that triggers appetite traditionally so I'm curious as to why this choice was made. If I were to come back I'd probably either sit outside or take my drink to go. Really a bummer because the latte was so good. But again, just personal preference.

Atmosphere: From the outside, it looks like a tiny hole in the wall, but once you step foot onto the patio, you'd realize you've been transformed into this adorable, tranquility space. They have both open air patio and fully cover patio that's perfect even when the weather outside is a little chili. There are even toys and kids book for the little ones in their cover patio. 1 star Customer service: Jaimie, the owner, is one of the most personal and interesting person you'd ever meet. The very first week that I started coming here consistently, I was so surprised when I CALLED, not even ordering in person, to order my usual Dolomitti for the 3rd time in a row, she immediately recognized my voice on the phone and knew my usual preference of coffee ice cubes in my drinks. I soon became the "Dolomitti lady" lol. It still amazes me how she can remember that given all the customers she gets each day. 1 star Quality of coffee/drinks/food: One of the reasons I can't help but keep coming back to Perfetto is the wide range of food and pastry goods that they have to offer. I try not to drink coffee first thing in the morning, knowing it would turn into a very effective laxative. It's definitely a huge bonus that not only does Perfetto offer plenty of sandwiches/paninis/salad options, but they're one of the best I have had. My go to every time is the Tuscany panini. They use sourdough bread from Grover Beach Sourdough, which cannot get better than that. The bread is perfectly pressed and toasted with the perfect crunch and cheese pull. Besides, it's a given that I love the coffee here to keep coming back and ordering the same thing. 2 stars! I don't think I've ever gotten a hot drinks from here, so I can't personally tell if they do latte art or not. However, when the drinks and the food are too good, I could care less about the latte art and keep coming back here at least once or twice a week. 1 star If you're in the area or just passing by, I highly recommend checking out this place. Plus it's conveniently located just right off of 101. So no reason not to. I just wish they stay open later and all 7 days a week!
