So It is Xmas 2024, me and my mom need a vacation. It is almost becoming a tradition now that me and her doing road trips together at least one a year. We are back to Pismo Beach. Our experience from last year was great, so here we are. This time, we decided to go easy on the food. We picked Denny's as our main dining option. We know the menu quite well and the pricing is fine. We had dinner for 2 nights here and had good experience for both times. Our waiter, Bryan, was quick, friendly and attentive. Our food was good. Dining area are well kept. I like it here at bit better because it has some old school feel. All the newly built Denny's in our area doesnt offer the same feeling. Overall, it is a 5 stars from me.

About a normal visit, nothing great or over outstanding. I'm content here Really not liking the coffee prices creeping up ‍‍

It's Denny's! Not "The Meltdown"!!! I'm out of town, 10pm, decide to DoorDash, find some good looking food, order online through DoorDash. It doesn't give me options to add ketchup and ranch, so I click on pick it up. Click on the app map and off I go. Here's the big problem. I'm looking for a restaurant called "The Meltdown" that's who I ordered from, that's who I paid online. I followed the map 2 miles down the road and I end up at Denny's. I think the map Must be wrong. Denny's is definitely Denny's not a place called The Meltdown". I stop at the gas station next door, ask the guy if he knows of "The Meltdown" he says it's probably further down the road where the nice restaurants are. I drive over there, looking around, not here either. Long story short, I go back to Denny's and ask if they have heard of a place called The Meltdown. She says sure that's us, we also go by ??? Burrito and The Burger Den and some other place. WTF??????? Why???????? Now I'm 20 min late to pick up my cold food that's supposed to be hot and I'm pissed off! AYFKM???? The food was of course terrible! The ambiance is disturbing. Looked like it hasn't been cleaned in years. Crack heads outside with vicious pit bulls and no leashes. It's a mess. Don't go to this place. Look at my food pics. How about that mess, all cold for $28. Gross. Greg's going to love this review.

My earlier comment was removed. I have since downgraded my opinion of this location. The General manager, Beatrice, and her wait staff are horrible. Listening to them disparage customers by talking about them behind their back within hearing distance of me and other customers is so unprofessional. I couldn't get their attention for more coffee whilst they chatted away behind the counter. The night manager, however, is very nice and professional. It seems the only customers who keep this location going are the take-out or delivery orders. The chefs are also not to blame for this downgrade. I might add that a lot of cops patrol their parking lot and I suspect there could be drug deals taking place outside which isn't safe. Hope my review doesn't get removed again.

Yummy breakfast

Hello Dennys, my first visit to this location. It's 5am, I'm waiting for a ride at 7, I have my sunglasses on and it's dark out. So WoW, Dennys has a "new" bacon, it's like real bacon. Not the pre cooked, paper thin, prefab strips of the past. Yea! So I have a long ride today and I'm goin' for the breakfast this morning. Denver Omelet, no hashers fruit. The fruit was fresh seasonal and plentiful. The bacon side order made it on the check too. This really was an exceptional breakfast something the foodguy would never say about Denny's but hey thats where the credit was due today. Not sure if it's my lucky day but it's certainly off to a very good start. Maybe we'll see you here on morning. Foodguy-Martin

Barbara was amazing very quick service and the food was amazing. the other stuff was very helpful as well. They all were very great at helping and being informative.

I love Denny period but I'm almost very picky with my food .Good service,very accommodating and it's very clean.My server was amazing because I explained to her how I like the food and she did a great job for me to leave a big tip. Overall do I still eat here rather than the one in slo.YES! Though the restaurant does need a makeover and maybe more staff but my order is always good. 10/10

Yummy burgers

She handed me that cup of coffee love. Yasss it was right! Looking like me Dark, bold, and coming with a punch. I ordered the caprese toastie - I added avocado. The toast crispy in the edges, moist in the middle. Cheese melted to perfection. Sprinkled with basil! And just know the bacon is on there! Just what I needed before fighting this damn TSA mess. I also treated myself to a lemon poppy dead loaf. When you get it thank me later- you're welcome right now. Glazed with almonds and a glaze. Sprinkled with a California poppy! You welcome. Like I cooked it lol flaky moist and good. Now they have merchandise! Support local business- the quality of this cup is amazing. Get into it! Cutest stickers for my new Stanley! Plenty of seating- I think you could absolutely study here, catch up here, and enjoy the music and vibes. I felt safe and welcomed as a black woman eating alone. Enjoyed my devotional and got some work done-

We got the turkey Avacado Sando and it was a turkey sandwich similar to what I would make for a picnic. Just boring. The matcha isn't particularly flavorful. The powder was definitely lower quality.

This was my second time visiting Breezeway Coffee, and it's quickly become our go-to spot when…read morewe're in Pismo Beach. We usually stay near the pier, and this place is less than a 30-second walk, which makes it perfect for a quick morning coffee run. Both times we've been here, the coffee has been excellent. On our first visit, we got iced coffees, and they were great. They offer a wide variety of milk options, creamers, and syrups, along with the usual sugars and sugar substitutes, so you can customize your drink pretty much however you want. They also have a full menu beyond coffee, including iced tea, lattes, chai, hot cocoa, and Americanos. For food, they offer pastries, Belgian waffles, avocado toast, breakfast sandwiches, and breakfast burritos. I haven't personally tried the food yet, but everything I've seen coming out looks really good. On this most recent visit, we tried their affogatos, and they did not disappoint. We both went with vanilla, and it was exactly what you'd expect. The espresso was made fresh, and the balance between the hot espresso and cold ice cream was perfect. Seating inside is limited to a few bar stools, but if you walk just outside and around the corner, there's a breezeway seating area with comfortable chairs and a nice coastal breeze. It's a great spot to sit and relax for a bit. Overall, this is a great coffee spot in Pismo Beach. Consistently good drinks, quick service, and a convenient location. We'll definitely keep coming back.

Perfect beach-casual breakfast spot to fuel up before a day in the sun…read more Waffles are made-to-order, with sprinkles or chocolate chips inside and out, or for a more traditional taste, covered in strawberries and Nutella. Whatever your taste, the waffles are light a fluffy inside, with the classic Belgian crisp form. The breakfast sandwiches come with an option of bacon or sausage, with a thick egg scramble and cheese on croissant, bagel or English muffin. The coffee and espresso are tasty, and they have hot cocoa for the kids. Friendly service, and nice outdoor covered dining make this spot a great choice for a cool breezy morning in Pismo. Next time I'm in town, we'll definitely come try more of the menu.

Excellent coffee! Delicious food and bakery! Above and beyond service! Our go to coffee shop now…read moreand my weekly fix. 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! 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
