Cute coffee shop next to our hotel Residence Inn. Lots of seating both inside and outside. They have pastries and smoothies as well. Service is prompt and friendly.

Cinnamon Brown Sugar Iced Latte
Alejandro B.

Cute coffee shop with great coffee. They have their own homemade syrups, which you can taste the difference. Service was quick and didn't wait long, all the staff i encountered was friendly.

Their beans

Super cute local coffee shop. Coffee was a bit bland and more milky. Taste/Flavor: 7/10 We got banana lattes and couldn't taste any of the banana flavor. Hence the 4 stars. We would visit again, but definitely will ask for more flavor. Service was quick and easy. The girl up front taking orders was super sweet.

Hot Mocha

Staying at the Springhill Suits right next door to the SLO Ranch, this place was a needed coffee spot. Hotel coffee sucks. We all know this. Haha. Lucys Coffee was excellent every morning and my wifes name is Lucy, so it made it even better! Scones were very good too!

We were looking for coffee for a ride back to Ventura county. This coffee spot is located inside the SLO marketplace. We stopped in on New Year's Day so they did not have any pastries. What a bummer but understood. Staff is nice and our orders were out quickly. Spacious spot with some seating inside and also outdoor seating as a marketplace. I will definitely be back when in San Luis Obispo.!

Kids hot chocolate :D
Nancy L.

The service is fast, reliable and quick, perfect for on-the-go runs. Also, it's quiet with faint background music which improves the vibe of Lucy's. Finally, the food is great! For example, a kids hot chocolate has a decent amount, but I personally love how much time they put into JUST a hot chocolate. The actual liquid is not an overwhelming hot but rather a comforting lukewarm. Additionally, the marshmallows are lightly charred to add more depth, which I just appreciate! I look forward to coming to this awesome cozy place in the future! -Nancy

Iced matcha with caramel syrup and iced chai.

First time here. Ordered an iced matcha with added caramel syrup, and an iced chai. My fault for thinking the caramel was the kind they drizzle around the cup. I couldn't taste any caramel flavor and I had to ask the barista if they added it because I can barely taste the caramel. 3 stars for the flavor of the matcha drink. Husband said the iced chai was good. Nothing fancy. Service was prompt.

Seating

Delicious coffee and a cute spot to visit. Quick service and happy people! I got the cinnamon brown sugar latte. Not too sweet.

Pasteries
Donna C.

Cute coffee shop located in SLO Ranch. Walking distance from Marriott Residence Inn and Springhill Suites. All the coffee, tea and chai choices you want as well as pastries and "toast". The peanut butter honey toast on sourdough hit the spot. Seating both indoor and outside. Recommend!

Gina L.

Such a neat place with good coffee and pastries. I tried the pumpkin latte with oatmilk and their pumpkin loaf was thick and not too sweet. Great customer service too!

Josh L.

Nice coffee spot located in the middle of a wonderful shopping area in SLO. This is a nice place to grab a coffee while you walk around with family and friends.

Avocado toast
Julie S.

I wanted to update my review because I ended up going to Lucy's three days in a row! We wanted a light breakfast one day and ordered their avocado and goat cheese toast. Both were delicious! Coffee was great every day.

Peanut butter smoothie
Lynn U.

My husband got this "peanut butter smoothie". He's a huge peanut butter fan while I just like it sometimes. We both died this and agree it's not strong enough, tastes like milk. The smoothie tastes more of almond milk and date than peanut butter. We'd say less than half closer to 30% I think there was banana in it too. We wouldn't get this again the title is not the star of the show. Still it's 85f out so we're going to finish it but it's just okay. We were greeted right away even though it was a little busy inside, that was nice.

Reviews are largely positive. People highlight the inviting atmosphere, friendly, prompt service, and quality coffee drinks. Many enjoy the tasty breakfast options.

Watery cappuccino and no water to drink. Servers were nice but it's a terrible coffee shop.

We have eaten at a few places this weekend and this was the stand out…read more They offer Mac and cheese, choice of six cheeses and plenty of add ( bacon, broccolini, mushrooms). They offer about 10 interesting delicious salads. 6 kinds of Brussels sprouts, omg! And so many sliders, beef, chicken, Ahi, steak, pork? With enticing toppings. You've got to see this place to believe it. You can order 1-4. Tasting size and mix them up. We were 3 people and had nine different items. They have shared plates, which I find the concept a little awkward. You have to agree on the plates then there is the problem of Am I taking too much? Not enough? I loved that we could all get exactly what we wanted. There was not a miss in the bunch. I don't live here and I can't wait to come back. Our server was adorable and did the cutest thing. We ordered 2 glasses of wine, a good Pinot Noir; she opened a brand new bottle table side and filled our glasses, Then she left the bottle "in case you want more". I have taught servers many ways to build a check, but this is the cleverest ever and of course, it worked. We easily went from 2 glasses to a bottle. Smart girl and a great wine. This is a casual busy place. We were seating by a nine top, I was concerned it would be loud. She seated the table twice and something about the room was right. It never got too loud Our experience here was fabulous. Even the hostesses were sweet.

I placed an online order at 4:25 (directly through their site) and the confirmation via email to show up at 4:45. I shows up at 4:50 and it seemed they hadn't started on my order. I waited until 5:15 for the food which was good and accurate. But for $90 and with no acknowledgment of the inconvenience from the staff and the pre-tip required to order, I have no way to convey the feedback to the restaurant. My advice: call and ensure your order is being processed after you make an online order.

First place for best alternative nomadic software developer looking for café to eat and do work…read moregoes to... Kreuzberg California Café. When I travel, I love finding a café that has an alternative vibe, friendly staff, really good coffee, really good food, and a vibe that says, "Hey--you bought an espresso like 5 hours ago. Stay as long as you want!" In other words, it's not a snobby café. It's real. It's authentic. I love it. But it's almost impossible to just get an espresso and leave it at that. The breakfast burritos here are just that good. I strongly recommend the soyrizo breakfast burrito with avocado. They have the recipe down to perfection. You have to travel 20 minutes out of town for anything that comes close. I will be honest here: they do charge a lot for their breakfast burrito... they know what it's worth, unfortunately, and they're going to charge you for it (and the prime downtown location). They also charge a very high credit card processing fee--it's more than any kickback a credit card rewards program would give back--so if you have cash, use that. It's cheaper. Their coffee is very good. You're splitting hairs here when trying to find better coffee, but if you're looking for the best breakfast burrito in San Luis Obispo, this is it. Trust me now, thank me later.

There is scheduled events and fun game nights as well as a future Speak-Easy coming here soon .

Very generous portions in a beautiful setting. The breakfast sausage is on the sweeter side but the food was overall quite good and very reasonably priced. This restaurant is inside Hotel Cerro but can be accessed from the street, they also take to go orders and carry out.

My first impression of The Oak Grill was a bit odd. If you look at the photos of this restaurant,…read moreyou'll see a giant multi-tiered full bar. I saw several beautiful drinks on Yelp when I chose The Oak Grill. I walked in, the restaurant is polished and pretty, with the bar an obvious focal point. The server, Chloe, at the door waited for me to speak first, which is awkward to begin with, and I had to verbalize that I wanted breakfast. I mean... why else would I be walking into your restaurant? She explained I order there at the front counter and the food would be brought out to me. That's fine. I asked if they have mimosas and she looked at me and goes, "Mimosas?" Um, yes. Mimosas. She said "Yeah, technically, but it's up to the person working up here if they *want* to make you a drink or not. I mean, technically I'm not a bartender." I seriously almost just walked out based on that answer. You have a full bar, you serve alcohol, but only if the cashier wants to make you a drink? Is the rest of the menu also based on the cashier's discretion? Are you capable of pouring champagne and a splash of orange juice into a glass? There are 5 employees milling about, and none of them are bartenders? So... I'm not impressed by the service here and based on that alone I won't be back. I'm just gonna drink this mimosa, wait for my chilaquiles, ask for a box and bounce. I'm irritated I just paid $50 (yes, $50 for chicken chilaquiles and one begrudgingly made mimosa cost me $50) to feel like I inconvenienced them coming in. I didn't ask for a side order of apathy with my breakfast, and for that price, I'm sure I can find an actual bartender.
