The donuts are absolutely delicious and unique, the owner is so nice, and the coffee is great! This trip, our favorite was the French Toast donut, followed closely by the Dirt Surf donut! I also ordered an iced shaken espresso and it was perfection! Visiting here is a MUST on every one of my Pismo trips! I hope it becomes yours too!

Fancy donuts by the beach!…read more It's a small shop next to a couple other small shops. They have a couple of tables and chairs outside for you to enjoy your donut too. 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.

Absolutely satisfying cinnamon roll experience! We got two contrasting topping choices (Maple…read moreBacon & Cherry Cream) and loved both options as we ate them out on the pier seating. The shop is very cute and the option to watch the rolls get cut, needed, and shaped through the transparent dividers offered a fun experience while we warmed our buns in their customer-accessible microwave. As with any Pismo Beach business in the downtown area, your experience with crowds will vary depending on if you go on a weekday or weekend. The shop will be notably bustle-filled with lines if you go during the hot days of Friday through Sunday.

Was expecting a crazy line but it was pretty empty. However, they do no have a queuing system so…read moreeveryone was waiting in different spots to order. A cashier looked at me to order and a customer accused me of cutting. Not a great start. The actual process of ordering and receiving the cinnamon rolls was efficient so I was out quick. I order the walnut cinnamon roll and regret not ordering one with frosting. The cinnamon roll was a bit dry. It was served at room temperature. Would have been good reheated which I dont think they offer. Maybe they can consider put a microwave for self warming. Overall, a good cinnamon roll. Not too sweet. I would try it again.

My inlaws regular donut spot was on vacation, but Foster's was just down the street and open…read more We dropped in and were greeted immediately and presented with all sorts of fresh baked goodies. It's a small place, with not much space inside to do more than order to go, but they have a small table on the inside with maybe four chairs and two smaller two-top tables outside. One of the highlights besides the regular donut fare is my favorite the cronut. If a place has a cronut and they do it well, then it's a great start to a morning - a donut and a croissant all in one, c'mon. They don't have an accessible private restroom which only adds to it's more is a take it and go type place. Donuts are fresh, coffee is hot.

So, I'm really conflicted about leaving a review for Beachin' Biscuits. Do I really want other…read morepeople to know about it? Do I want to have to jostle against them as I fight my way in the next time I'm in Pismo? Well, the food here is so good that I've decided, when I win the lottery, that I'm moving to Pismo so I can live closer to Beachin' Biscuits. I was raised on biscuits and gravy. My Granny was from the OK Panhandle and I was unfortunate enough to live in West Texas for almost a decade while growing up. The one good part of that experience was biscuits and gravy (and chicken fried steak). Calling Beachin' Biscuits biscuits and gravy "legit" is to undersell them. These are special occasion B&G. Also, for the first time in my life, I felt like putting gravy on a biscuit was (almost) a crime. These biscuits are f***ing good! Even under layers of sausage, cheese, and gravy I could tell they were fluffy and buttery. Pretty sure these are the biscuits served in heaven. I write this review the day after my visit, having just finished eating my wife's leftovers - and yes, they reheat well. Maybe a few people will read this review and decide to inconvenience my next visit by being there, but I take solace in all the California moss munchers who will never know the joys of sausage gravy, and therefore, not interfere with my next visit to Beachin' Biscuits.

Better than Krispy Kreme, and I'm not one to order a simple glazed donut, but someone brought a box to work one day, and I was hooked. The donuts are bigger than the other shops also.

Scorpion Coffee Shop Review…read more I tried their 16 oz Iced Vanilla Latte, and it was pretty good! The espresso has a stronger, bolder flavor profile, so the coffee taste definitely stands out. It's not overly sweet, which is perfect if you enjoy tasting your espresso. However, if you're someone who prefers a little more vanilla flavor and sweetness over a strong coffee taste, I recommend adding 2 extra pumps of vanilla! My boyfriend ordered the Pineapple Smoothie, and it was absolutely delicious! Super refreshing and full of flavor! Overall, a great little coffee stop with something for both coffee lovers and smoothie lovers!

FOOD: Olallieberry Lemonade was refreshing. Cider Float with Apple Strudel Ice Cream was suggested and was amazing. I will get the cider float again if I ever get the chance to come back here again.

Bought one of the triple berry pies and apple crisps to try and they were delicious! The filling for the berry pie was really good slightly tart and sweet. If you like pie crust, the crust was well done too- flaky and crisp. The apple crisp was soooo good- the topping was really tasty and the filling was delicious. I'd go back to try their other pies and hand pies. Feeding the sheep, cow, goats and llamas $3 a head lettuce was so fun! The animals loooove eating the lettuce and it's an enjoyable experience for kids and adults alike. The fields with bales of hay to climb and pose on and also the flower fields to walk around in was also nice too! There was a hay ride, but we were not able to make it-- maybe next time. The food was just mediocre. The pulled pork sandwich had too much sauce on it and it was hard to eat because the bread just fell apart. I wish there were a little more coleslaw on top because it cut the sweetness of the sauce. Would not order again. The tritip sandwich was just okay- lots of thinly sliced meat, but flavor was just alright. Would not order again. The plain hotdog was actually pretty good- it was a big hotdog. Would probably order again for my kid haha. The highlight of the meal was the Brussels sprouts (no pecans and subbed Parmesan for the bleu cheese)! Nicely roasted and seasoned. Definitely would order again! The strawberry lemonade and the oallaberry lemonade were really good- not too sweet and very fruity. Definitely would order again Would definitely come back to spend a couple of hours here!

The Ice Cream The…read moreIce Cream itself was all just generic brands like Deyers and Thrifty (See Image 1). Flavors were nothing special, the most extravagant flavors were their few sherbets which looked very colorful, not in the naturals way. Prices are semi normal. The Service The Service was a bit disappointing. We were limited to 1 sample per person and had to practically beg for their attention. Overall, not the best but, oh well. The Look and Atmosphere of the Shop The Shop was quite small, a bit dirty but it's a little shop, what can we expect (see image 2). There was no seating except some hard wooden benches without a table to eat or anything. There really weren't much to-go options either. It was really uncomfortable to just sit in there wi the out any tables or anything even padding on the seats.
