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.

This is my daughter's go-to for morning coffee and I have to say...she is right! Their coffee is so good with such a great coffee flavor and no bitterness to it at all. All of my cold brew coffees during our trip came from here and I really appreciate the staff working here. Obviously they know her by name and what she orders so on the days I went alone...they remembered me, asked questions about us and our trip and made our orders with great skill and care. I highly recommend this store for any coffee you need and they do also sell some delicious baked goods as well. Great coffee store!!!

Nice little coffee and pastry shop right in downtown Pismo Beach. The space is quiet, clean, and…read moreinviting. They make some of their pastries in-house and also bring in items from other local bakeries. The pastry selection was a bit limited when we visited, but the service was friendly and the prices were very reasonable. We tried the dulce de leche croissant and an iced mocha. The iced mocha was excellent. The croissant wasn't the best I've ever had, but it was tasty and a good value for the price. Overall, a pleasant little spot for coffee and a pastry. I'd definitely come back and try some of their other offerings.

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.

My sandwhich looked huge, but it was actually a frustoni roll. The bread kind of overpowered all the other components and easily had them falling out of the sandwich. I think it would have better to have the caesar salad in a wrap or salad itself. Funny thing is I had plenty of bread leftover so I actually made another sandwich from it! My boyfriend thought the three sisters were decent, but weren't anything special. I think if you want the typical sandwich and a little bite of the classics, this one is for you. I stayed in the car with my dog while my boyfriend and our friends went inside. They got the food pretty quickly and loved how they had many options for sides and drinks. I love supporting a local market and deli!

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!
