It had a small, pleasant garden setting around it and overall it was a nice little set-up. My family appreciated the mixed-media decorations inside along the walls. The mocha I ordered was made quickly, and the pastries were the standard fare for a coffee bar. The selection was limited and seemed based on a theme of strawberries: strawberry almond muffins, strawberry croissant, strawberry Danish... I guess that was the ingredient of the day. Overall, a respectable coffee bar, but nothing to make it stand out from others like it... which is fine when all you want is a decent pastry and a good cup of coffee.

I've been to Cayucos several times, but this was my first time trying the food at this restaurant…read more After checking out their website, I learned that they are known for their gluten-free dishes, organic ingredients, and specialty bioregional blue corn waffles. I was excited to finally give them a try. The restaurant was such a cute spot, beautifully decorated, with the cutest items for sale. The menu offered a variety of options, including waffles, tacos, bowls, and smoothies. We arrived before they opened, so we went for a walk to kill some time. When we circled back, the line was about 20 people deep! Thankfully, it moved quickly, and there was plenty of seating both inside and on their back patio overlooking the beach. You place your order at the window, and the food is brought right to your table. I ordered the Classic Waffles, served with grass-fed butter, maple syrup, and powdered sugar. I also ordered the Plaskett Pork Taco, which featured scrambled eggs, Niman Ranch bacon ends, avocado, Hidden Kitchen sauce, and green salsa. Everything was delicious! The food was fresh and made to order. The waffles were a different color than your typical waffles because of the blue corn, but the flavor was spot-on. The Plaskett Pork Taco was served open-faced, with scrambled eggs on the bottom and all that delicious bacon, avocado, and sauce piled on top. Even the tortilla was made with blue corn as well. My friend ordered the Gorda Green Smoothie for us to share, and it was so refreshing and delicious. The serving was generous and definitely big enough to share. The glass was practically overflowing with goodness. The entire meal tasted fresh and clean. I didn't leave feeling weighed down by greasy or heavily processed food. I really appreciate the thought that goes into their ingredients, menu, and overall approach to serving organic, gluten-free options. The attention to detail was impressive, too. From the table numbers featuring a little quote on the bottom to the variety of salsas available to put on the side, every little touch added to the experience. They also have a self-serve water and coffee station, which is a nice bonus. Between the delicious blue corn waffles, flavorful taco, refreshing smoothie, and charming atmosphere, I'll be looking forward to coming back and trying more of their menu items.

Pros: - Place is known for their creative savory and sweet…read morewaffles. To me and my group, the ultimate winner was actually the tacos! Made on homemade blue corn tortilla, it was light years ahead of the waffle. I recommend the Plaskett Pork as it has the most variety - Great selection of drinks for both coffee and non-coffee drinkers. There's a few morning cocktails as well (mimosa and bloody mary) - Great environment as it is by the ocean with a beach view. Really gets to the heart of what Cayucos is all about! Cons: - Open seating, so you could be in trouble if you can't find a table as there is no wait staff and only bus boys. - Not great for big groups as there is limited seating areas and they seem to run out of utensils at times - A bit on the pricer side given the lack of variety (if you don't like waffles or tacos then you will need to find a new place)! Overall, I would highly recommend HK to anyone who is passing through or staying in town. Great views and fantastic tacos made it worth while!

Today 10/8/26 at around noon-12:30 the staff (all ladies) were a bunch of crabs, not friendly, no smiles, seriously felt someone had died. If that's the case, I'm so sorry you all lost someone. If not the case, you all need a serious attitude adjustment. You have created an awesome product & I guess by our sale alone, $75 worth of cookies, you must be thriving. I love being with happy people when I'm spending $$ on cookies! I hope the next time I'm in your place of business (heard you're moving, I'm hoping this was just a quirk day) I hope the employees can be happy or do a great fake job of it. No matter how much I love your cookies, I'll go somewhere else where the employees are happy to have a job in a sweet place.

We have been to the Scout Coffee location in SLO and this was the first time that we've been here at the Morro Bay location. We had an iced vanilla latte and hot mocha along with their morning bun. The mocha tastes a little bit more like a hot chocolate mix with espresso versus an old-fashioned mocha, but I was pleasantly surprised by how lightly sweet it was. The morning bun was one of the best morning buns I've ever had. The bakery for Scout Coffee is at this location and so all the pastries were very fresh. The location aesthetic was beautiful and they had a lovely large wooden community table that you can sit at as well as a cute area for kids to sit and play equip with a kid coffee shop wooden toy. Very sweet.

I was sad cause I really wanted to love my chai, I rarely even order it hot but I was in the mood for one. My sister got hot chocolate which she enjoyed!

You may already know Cayucos is a popular beach town on the Central Coast but not nearly as crowded as Pismo Beach. The more casual vibe made it more conducive for us to split a $6.50 Double Scoop Cup. We deserved two flavors, we felt, so we went with Coconut Pineapple (a slam dunk) and Moose Tracks (photo: https://bit.ly/38Ppl9U). OK, Jamie chose Moose Tracks since the name sounded to me like, well, what you find in your underwear when...oh, you know. But it was actually vanilla streaked with fudge and peanut butter.

We weren't sure if we needed a reservation, so I called ahead and spoke with Marco, who was able to accommodate our group. When we arrived, we were seated immediately, and our server promptly brought us water and took our drink orders. We asked for recommendations, and our server was happy to share his thoughts on both the food and drinks. We all decided to try the Pineapple Basil Margarita. I don't typically order this type of cocktail, but since it was recommended, I decided to give it a try. While it wasn't my personal favorite, it had a nice pineapple flavor, and the basil didn't overpower the drink as I had worried it might. For appetizers, we ordered a few dishes to share: the homemade French baguette served with sea salt whipped butter and local olive oil, the lobster avocado egg rolls, and a Caesar salad. All three were fresh and delicious without feeling too heavy before our meal. The lobster avocado egg rolls were probably my favorite! They were paired with a delicious cilantro dipping sauce that complemented them perfectly. For our entrées, we were all in the mood for seafood, especially since we were visiting a beach town. We decided on the Shrimp & Clams Pancetta Fettuccine, and WOW, it was delicious! The dish had a generous amount of shrimp and clams, and the sauce was surprisingly light rather than thick and heavy, as I had anticipated. The flavors were perfectly balanced, and every bite was enjoyable. Beyond the food, Lunada has such a cozy, romantic atmosphere. The décor is charming, thoughtfully put together, and adds to the overall dining experience. From the welcoming service to the delicious food and inviting ambiance, Lunada was a wonderful place to enjoy dinner with friends. We were all pleased with our meals and would absolutely return! If you're visiting Cayucos and looking for a great spot for dinner, Lunada is definitely worth checking out.

- Groggy's Scallywag Coffee House…read more My girlfriend and I stopped at Groggy Scallywag Coffee House during a short trip to Morro Bay after she had noticed it on a previous visit. I'm glad we finally tried it. It's a small coffee shop right off Embarcadero with a simple setup. They have refrigerators with cold drinks, can make both hot and iced coffee, and also offer a small selection of pastries such as muffins, croissants, bagels, and cinnamon rolls. They also sell coffee to take home. There really isn't indoor seating, but that did not bother us at all. You're right by the coast, and there are tables outside in the breezeway along with areas near the dock where you can stand and enjoy your drink. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The menu is displayed on a TV screen near the entrance, which made ordering easy. I ordered a large iced Mexican mocha, and it was excellent. You could actually taste the spice in it rather than it just tasting like a regular mocha with a different name. I would absolutely order it again. One small thing that really stood out to me was their discount program. Near the register, they had a multicolored flag recognizing several groups including military, law enforcement, EMS, firefighters, dispatchers, and nurses. Before ringing us up, the employee pointed to it and asked whether any of those applied to us. I told her I was a nurse, and she immediately gave me 10% off. I thought that was a really nice touch. Discounts for military and first responders are common, but nurses are not always included, so I appreciated the recognition. Between the good coffee, friendly staff, convenient location, and thoughtful service, I really have nothing negative to say about this place. I would absolutely come back and would gladly try more of their drinks and pastries next time I'm in Morro Bay.
