    Caramel latte
    Ashley B.

    Very cute and quaint little spot. So cozy just to sit back, have your coffee, and let the world pass you by. The baristas even bring the food right to you.

    Counter to order.

    We went to try a new coffee place and it was great service great drinks and great ambiance. We wanted a drink and I ordered the ambrosia turmeric. My daughter got a ginger loose tea. She had throat issues. So she felt a little better when she finished the tea. They gave her the bag of tea and told her to put hot water in it. They had a hot water dispenser for the public to use. She added some honey and ready to drink. She even made it a little less hot and drank it faster adding some cold water. I got my hot drink. It was kind like golden milk. I asked them not to add any sugar but the drink tasted sweet. I was in a hurry so I didn't want to go back and ask. It was not too sweet, it was very good. It had the kick of the turmeric. Really enjoyed except for the doubt of the sugar in there. They had sweet pastries and also they prepared food there. The place looked very inviting to go on the back and relax for a bit. The staff were very helpful and happy. They were smiling all the time. Definitely a place to come back.

    We ordered the hot chocolate and it was served with a beautiful design on top that made it extra special. The flavor could've been just a touch sweeter, but overall it was rich, comforting and perfect for a chilly evening. Such a cute little café with a cozy vibe.

    Chickpea veggie burrito

    Cool place some a few gluten free vegan options but more lacto-ovo options. The herbal tea is unusually good. The outdoor area is quaint. We enjoyed what we ordered. Thank you!

    banana bread latte
    Lindsay R.

    one of the best lattes i've ever had! Their caramel is so good. Banana bread latte is amazing. their bfast burritos are also reallly really good. Nothing bad to say about this place. Their staff is also really kind. I had multiple good experiences here when I was visiting a friend that lives nearby. I couldn't resist coming day after day lol

    Exterior patio, drip coffee, almond croissant
    Bethany R.

    Loved this cozy coffee shop! Ordered a drip coffee, breakfast burrito, and almond croissant. Staff was friendly and the food came out quick. The interior was cozy and had an older coffee house vibe but the exterior back patio was fresh with beautiful greens, brick, shaded areas and fountains. The drip coffee was really good! You get 1 free refill with your cup and they let us take our free refill to go which was great. Almond croissant was classic, no notes. And the breakfast burrito was nice sized and filling. It had creamery eggs with mild salsa, roasted potatoes, and black beans - it was a different flavor than I'm used to for a breakfast burrito but still really good!

    Latte !!!

    Was in San Luis Obispo on Saturday stopped by this nice café and had a delicious latte very friendly people love the. Cup they poured this evening in to ! Great town to just relax and shop thank you so much !

    Had 30 mins to pass time and wanted to get a coffee. Scout a couple shops down had a line out the door but Linnaea's had no line, now that's what I'm talking about. Very friendly cashier. Americano was hot and smooth. The best part was the sidewalk seating they had. It was so lovely to sip on a coffee and people watch. Some others got food while I was sitting there and it looked so good.

    Blueberry Matcha, Rose Matcha, & Shortbread Bar
    Catherine N.

    This is such a cute spot and the patio/garden is the back brings such good vibes. The workers are so kind and nice, very engaging. Their pastries and food all look so fire. Their matcha has a very light flavor and tastes more like the syrup/milk used. I wanna go back to try their lunch items! ig: @cravingswithcat

    I'm so in love with everything about Scout Coffee on Foothill Blvd in SLO! I'm actually bummed I…read moredon't live here and was just visiting. If I lived here, this would be my GO TO spot for ALL my coffee needs. The space is thoughtfully designed with many furniture pieces from repurposed goods. It is spacious with a light, bright airy feel. All the "baristas" were so welcoming and friendly. They seemed to enjoy their job and their coworkers. They set off a very cohesive vibe. I wish I could have spent the morning just being there but had to leave for a funeral. So many things caught our eye! The baked goods were devine. The T-shirts were super soft and I would have bought one of they had our sizes. The roasted coffee beans were priced fairly. I haven't even gotten to the coffee yet! There were so many iced coffee/cold brew options it was really hard to choose. We ended up selecting the Lemon Pistachio shortbread cookie, a Ginger Molasses cookie, a seasonal scone: Honey Cinnamon, an iced Latte and an iced Vanilla Bean Latte: 1/2 sweet and a bag of Classic Espresso beans. My only sadness was I should have gotten a large latte instead of a regular. We saved the desserts for after the funeral and enjoyed the yummy coffees on our way. The Ginger Molasses cookie was perfect. Moist and chewy and not too much ginger. I should have bought more! The Lemon Pistachio cookie had a lovely balance of lemon zest and fine pieces of pistachio in the cookie and a not too tart lemon glaze and pieces of pistachio on top. It wasn't dry or super dense either. Someone making these is an experienced baker! The Honey Cinnamon scone was the best scone we have ever had. It was messy but so worth it. If you want an entire coffee experience, you have to visit Scout Coffee on Foothill Blvd in SLO. You will not stop thinking about what a beautiful experience it was after you've gone.

    Ambiance- 5 Service-3…read moreFood-4 Went in at 6:05AM. I just assumed they were open because the door was propped open. The girl wouldn't serve me because they said we don't open until 6:30, we just have the door open for people. People? What am I? I think she meant employees... Anyways, I came back because my girl needed that Matcha (you know how it is) Ordered a LARGE iced matcha and a croissant. $10. When I was handed an Obvious medium maybe even a small arbiter shops I told them I asked for large and she looked at me like I was stupid and said "This is OUR Large". Anyways, I'm not a coffee snob I just wanted to treat my lady and I don't think I'll be coming back after this experience for the money spent. After a tip im at $12+ and feeling ripped off

    Very Good - But Don't Be A Lazy Customer…read more.... The Nautical Bean on Los Osos Valley Road is my go-to place for sandwiches and drinks in that part of San Luis Obispo. - Overall: 4 - Location: 5 - Exterior: 4 - Ambiance: 5 - Menu: 5 - Sandwiches: 5 - Drinks: 4 - Service: 4 - Price and Value: 5 - Parking: 5 - Bathroom: 4 Pros: - Location: Convenient to the western part of SLO. This outlet of the small chain is on Los Osos Valley Road near the corner of Madonna Road in a shopping center. - Menu: It's not just drinks. They've got a sizable menu of sandwiches...lots of pastries and the usual drinks. - Ambiance: Casual. Many tables inside and 2 patios...one in front and a smaller one in back. You'll find students on computers and friends sharing a table. Music plays in the background. - Food: Excellent. My wife and I stop by once a month before visiting a local doctor and split a sandwich for lunch since they're large enough to easily divide. My favorite is the Tuna Melt ($18). Each comes with a nice salad. For people familiar with restaurants in the San Jose area during the 1970s, 80s and 90s...the sandwiches will remind you of the Good Earth. - Drinks: From excellent to okay. Besides visiting with my wife, I also drop by before or after other doctor appointments. That's what happens as you get older! So I'm a semi regular. I usually get the same thing - A medium hot chai with no whipped cream...extra hot and extra foam. On February 25th, I had one of the very best drinks in my life. A few days later on March 2nd, it went the other way. My hopes were initially raised when a talented young woman (who might be a manager) took my order. Unfortunately, someone else made my drink. The first version had no foam...so she emptied some liquid and added foam. I got to my car, started drinking and realized it was lukewarm - not extra hot - but I was tired, probably lazy and just finished it. It wasn't even busy in the shop. - Service: Always friendly. - Price and Value: Lots of good food and drinks for a fair price. - Parking: No problem. There's a lot in the front and a big one in back. - Bathrooms: Not bad. There are 2 behind the shop - both are usually quite clean and come with a code you get from the employees. Cons: - Consistency of the drinks: This is a problem at almost every place I've tried.....except The Tribe in Arroyo Grande. Most of the drinks here are very good, but people should not be on the front line unless they know what to do. Overall, the Nautical Bean on Los Osos Valley Road makes great sandwiches, has a fine selection of pastries and does a good job with their drinks.

    I have been wanting to visit Breda because of the hype. I was impressed by the chocolate offerings…read more I purchased the peanut butter, Nutella, black sesame/passion fruit and orange dark chocolates. Each one was flavorful and unique. I was very happy. - I was greeted while walking in the door and served quickly. I received a branded paper bag upon purchase. I love the branding overall and the downtown location is a quick walk from the Mission. - The furniture and place settings are perfect for the theme. However, I felt a bit lost when looking around the restaurant. The back wall is filled with fake florals and a neon sign in pink. Then, the wall by the bar features porcelain jester masks to represent Italy in red. The far wall has local art for sale. I suggest picking only one of these themes like the local artist portraits for a more focused ambiance.

Came here to celebrate my now, sister-in-law's Bridal Shower. We had Reservations for a party of 8 + a child on a Sunday at noon. Bella was our lovely belle. She was super friendly, polite & gave great recommendations for all of us first timers. Thanks Bella for an awesome Tea Party Experience! Wonderful presentation of Afternoon Tea. We all went with the Signature Tea. It included a choice of Tea, an assortment of 5 petite sandwiches, 2 scones with jams, & 5 gourmet pastries. We ordered 4 orders of the Signature Tea, since it was meant for a pair to share. Four orders for 8.5 of us was perfect for a light lunch. Or an afternoon snack, lol. Note: It may not look like a lot, but having a whole pot of tea to yourself will definitely get you feeling full haha Everything was delicious! & super Cute! I was in love with their house made jam. I believe one of the owners came out to give me more info on the fruits used. Blueberry, Raspberry & Strawberry Jam. Yum! Definitely worth a try at Breda for a special occasion. As there aren't many Tea Places in the surrounding areas.
