However, Upon exiting, the owner caught me at the door and shared her concerns about my SDiT. Stating that she could be reported to the health department via her customers. I attempted to explain the guidelines regarding questioning of service animals. I felt partially dismissed and she retreated into the building, closing the door behind her. I understand this may have been a miscommunication. My husband and I enjoy this bakery but after today's interaction, we are hesitant to continue bringing our service or recommending it to our friends, some who are disabled themselves.

Should Have Known Better…read more.... I've been to the Nautical Bean on Los Osos Valley Road a few times since my review in March 2026 and each visit earned 4 or 5 stars. Not bad! But I went back on Monday, June 8th and had a very different experience. I ordered 2 small cups of hot chai with extra foam, extra hot and 1/2 sweet. When they were done, both were "heavy" meaning they felt like there was no foam. I checked and yup...no foam. I mentioned it to the barista who said "no problem. I'll do them over". They were done quickly, but still felt "heavy". I didn't want to go back and figured "it's just me". I got into my car and tried one. It was 90% the same as before. She simply scraped a sliver of the drink off the top and added a touch of foam. Plus...the liquid was "thin" meaning she nearly scalded the drink to get it hot. The 2nd chai was the same way. And the shop wasn't even busy at the time. Everyone at the Nautical Bean is friendly and the vibe is great, but next time I'll take my own advice...even if that means going back to the barista twice to get things right.

Almost Gourmet Food at Neighborhood Prices…read more.... My wife and I...plus another couple...get together each month for lunch or dinner. Since the owners of the Grover Beach Sourdough bakery recently opened a restaurant for breakfast and lunch, we decided to give it a try. It's a great place. - Overall: 5 - Location: 4 - Ambiance: 5 - Menu: 4 - Food: 5 - Service: 5 - Price and Value: 5 - Parking: 4 - Location: On Grand Avenue 2 blocks off Highway 1...across from their former restaurant, Spoon Trade. It's most convenient if you're near "1" and less so as you get farther away. - Ambiance: Like a "bistro" or cafe. It's not big - 32 seats at various tables - but still feels open and kind of contemporary. - Menu: Small, but interesting. This isn't Denny's with endless choices. There were about 10 choices at lunch...including several items for vegetarians. - Food: Exquisite. People rave about breakfast...but this was 1230 PM on a Friday for lunch. I (and another of the 4 people) had an "open face tuna melt" ($20). Everything was fresh and top of the line quality. My wife ordered Avocado Toast, but they just ran out of avocado (a very busy day) so she also had the Tuna Melt. She said "best I ever had". She's prone to making statements like that, but it was fine. The 4th friend in our group had the Vegetable Hash ($23) and literally cleaned his plate. We also took two 9 ounce containers ($16 each) of their "Soup Of The Day"...Vegan Butternut Squash...home for dinner AND went next door to the bakery and bought 4 chocolate chip cookies. By 130 PM, pickings were pretty slim (they close around 2 PM). - Service: Very friendly and helpful. In fact, the owners - a husband and wife team - worked the floor to ensure everything and everybody was fine. - Price and Value: Perfectly reasonable. - Parking: Some on the street...but most behind the building. Grover Beach Sourdough comes close to serving gourmet food at neighborhood prices.

Thankful they decided to open a sit down area. Now I don't have to fight for parking at Pismo Beach…read morefor sit down breakfast. Food is great and service is always awesome. I love how the source ingredients locally. Guaranteed freshness while supporting business in the area is always a win. Don't miss out on the cheesy bread. You won't regret it. Their bagels are also so good: chewy and cheesy with the jalapeño for a teeny tiny kick. And if you got enough stomach space left, grab some cheesecake.

Back again at Einstein Bros. Bagels on the Cal-Poly Campus in SLO. Not much has changed here except…read moreEVERYTHING! The establishment has a brand new look (at least to me...). Oh, one not so good thing, no more BAGEL DOGS! Robert B. /Business Mgr, bring Bagel Dogs back please! Okay...Saul is gone, BUT a new STAR is born, yep... it's Matt. Matt/Mgr. is all about pleasing the Customer...going above and beyond in Customer Service! Pleasant, professional with a smile on his face...I hope to see Matt for years to come. Thank-you Matt for making my Einstein Bros. Bagels visit one to remember. As we discussed, I can buy a Bagel anywhere...but your customer service is what makes the Patron return again and again. The decor is spartan yet appealing. They sell various food products (seems like more than before) like Cheeses, Cold Cut Meats, Hummus and Wraps. Some Produce, fresh cut Flowers, House Plants, Milk, Eggs, Chips, Cookies in an Einstein Bros. Bagels Cup, Drinks and various ready to eat dishes. And of course...there's the Bagels (all kinds of 'em...but get there early, cause they go fast), Eggs Sandwiches (on a Bagel), Signature Lunch Sandwiches (on a Bagel), Cold Brew Drinks, Coffees and Espresso beverages. I decided on and ordered the All-Nighter (5/5). Two Cage-Free Eggs, Bacon, Two Slices American Cheese, Smoky Chipotle Aioli on a Cheesy Hash Brown Gourmet Bagel. FREAKIN WOW!!! This "monster of a Bagel Egg Sandwich"is a must try. Literally blew me away. Nothing about this location detracted from my fabulous repeat experience (except no Bagel Dogs...I would have bought several to go, regardless of cost, because alas...no one seems to have them anymore) and so on this occasion, in this Yelper's opinion...Einstein Bros. Bagels in SLO truly earned this "highly recommend" 5Star review! Thank-you Matt and all Associates for being Einstein Bros. Bagels FABULOUS!

A big Ol' Coffee win for Gen-X!!…read more What a cool coffee spot. Visiting our friends from Long Beach, they recommended we go to Nautical Bean over by Trader Joe's on the south end of the San Luis Obispo city area. They have a great menu, good music plan, diverse customers on the Sunday morning we went in. Super friendly cashier who walked me through a very diverse and fun coffee menu. Love the classic 80s feel of this location. Everything from Farra Fawcett, Johnny Cash, Depeche Mode, the classic clash poster, Darth Vader, a beautiful Bowie wall mural, and a Sesame Street skateboard collection. Not to mention some awesome Star Wars lunch pails on the high shelves. Don't miss those! And, there's a millennium falcon, staring down at you as you get your refill for coffee, Long live the rebellion! And nice clean spacious restroom as well. Great job. My only invitation is to have a low-carb/no-carb food option. We can't eat like we did in the 80's and 90's!! Definitely a coffee shop that is a Force for good. Well done Gen X'er!
