Scorpion Bay Coffee is amazing! We were visiting Pismo and stopped in for some coffee and…read morebreakfast. The menu options for coffee is large with a variety of drinks. I decided to get the Dominican mocha which was made with dark chocolate. It had a rich chocolatey flavor and I could still taste the espresso which is exactly how I like my mochas! For food, we tried their banana bread, strawberry oatmeal muffin, and the egg sausage cheese croissant. All of the food was warmed up and it was delicious! I would get everything again. Scorpion Bay has some leather chairs and a couch to sit at, a booth, and a few high top tables. There's also a table to sit at outside. The employees were all friendly and nice. We loved everything about our visit to Scorpion Bay and look forward to the next time we're in town so we can enjoy some delicious coffee and food!

Tried the chocolate covered pretzel latte and WOW--it was so good!…read more The flavor was perfectly balanced--not overly sweet, but still just right. Sometimes specialty lattes can miss the mark, but this one was honestly one of the best I've had. You can tell they really got it right. I also noticed how clean the location was, and the presentation of the drink was beautiful, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely coming back to try more of their specialty latte

One of…read morethe coolest parts is getting to watch the cinnamon rolls being made, which adds to the experience. They also have a microwave available if you prefer your cinnamon roll warm. The cinnamon roll was tasty, but I personally wish the dough had been softer and more pillowy. It didn't have that light, fluffy texture I usually look for in a great cinnamon bun. My latte was pretty good and paired well with it. Overall, it's a decent spot and worth trying at least once. If there's little to no wait, I'd happily stop by again. But if the line is super long, I'd probably skip it since, for me, it wasn't quite worth the wait.

The perfect spot to do some work on your laptop or meet a friend for coffee and food. Their coffee is absolutely delicious and they have a good variety of breakfast and lunch options. I highly recommend their iced lattes, smoothies, and croissant / breakfast sandwiches! Service is always friendly and can be a tad slower sometimes, but generally expected in the generally quieter, sleepy town of Shell Beach (except during the busy summer months). Overall, the atmosphere and vibe of Steaming Bean is just perfection. I love this place!

There always seemed to be a trickle of people coming in to order donuts. The workers were always patient, especially since it took me a while to decide on a donut. The donuts are on the sweeter side, but very tasty.

When I arrived on a Monday evening, I was surprised by how long the line was to order. What impressed me even more was how quickly the staff moved everyone through and got food out. They clearly know what they're doing. The clam chowder absolutely lived up to the hype. It was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. Honestly, just writing this review makes me crave another bowl. My mom ordered the lobster roll, and we were impressed by how generous they were with the lobster. Another nice bonus is that they offer daily specials, giving you even more reasons to come back and try something new. Overall, I highly recommend Splash Cafe and would consider it a must-visit spot when exploring SLO County.

The clam chowder was rich and flavorful, and I appreciated that they were generous with the extra toppings. The only downside was that the toppings were served cold, which cooled down the chowder a bit. I wish the chowder had been served piping hot, as it would have made it even more satisfying. The lobster roll and fries made for a great quick meal, and overall it's a solid spot when you're craving comforting seafood. Nothing too fancy just a decent place for a quick, satisfying bite.
