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.

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.!

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.

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

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

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.

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.

See all

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.

Visited Scout twice in one weekend while in SLO because the coffee was that good. It was even…read morebetter that it was in walking distance from the house and my boyfriend and I could walk our dog with a cup of coffee! Both times I got a hot vanilla bean latte with two extra shots and it was perfection. Literally no complaints. My boyfriend got an iced americano the first day and tried a hot golden mylk on the second day. He also enjoyed his drinks! The golden mylk is a perfect cold day drink that will make you feel warm and cozy inside. We also had the chance to try their pastries and got an almond croissant with jelly and a goat cheese and roasted leak scone. Im not the biggest fan of jelly filled pastries, but this one was actually really good. It paired well with the crispy exterior and not too sweet. I really enjoyed it! The goat cheese and roasted leak definitely had complimenting flavors, but it wasn't his favorite scone he has. He wished there was more goat cheese versus it just being on top. When is SLO, I will be back!

We love Scout coffee for many reasons. The coffee is the best in SLO county. The pastries are…read morevery good but, for us, we prefer they reduce the high sugar content of most. Love to have their raspberry scone without the chocolate but not bad with the chocolate. We wish they did not change the sessional apple pastries as last years version was much better, more apples, better crust, no cheese. We love the clean decor and friendly atmosphere. Not sure that I like being grilled about my plans for the day by the cashier each morning.

Great service, cool themed restaurant, part of a cool themed hotel…read more The food was good, just too expensive. With the rate of the hotel, it would be nice if we got complimentary breakfast. Steak and eggs was $48....though it was good, I'm just not sure if I'll pay that much again. We did enjoy the hotel a lot and got our own goblets. The goblets are very nice and well made, none of that cheap Temu stuff. Overall 4/5...the main reason for the point off is the price.

I'm not gonna lie I was dissapointed to get there and find out that the actual dining room that's…read morereally nice and picturesque doesn't open til 5pm. There's nothing anywhere stating that so I hope that this review helps people know ahead of time. With that said I would come back just for the dining room when it's open. Shelly our waitress was really nice and friendly. Which was nice to see after checking in with the host. As someone who worked in hospitality for over 10 years, i know how much effort it takes to be nice when you're a monotone person, and yet I forced myself to smile at every single guest and made sure that they felt taken care of and listened to. That's why it's called work. This guy couldn't crack a smile, couldn't greet us properly, didn't say anything except "oh, your tables not ready but you can walk around and we'll text you". Then walked us over to our table and said "here you go". I've never been a host but even I know to say something along the lines of "here's your table. Your waiter will be with you shortly." At the very least. He's young so hopefully he grows out of that but someone's gotta let him know.

Kreuzberg California - Breakfast burrito with soyrizo and avocado. As a local with an affinity for attention to detail, this is simply the best breakfast in SLO.

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.

What a cozy little cafe in the heart SLO! The Boba Nook serves up delicious milk teas and has a…read morevery cute ambiance. Walking in you're greeted with cute cafe music taken from animal crossing. In fact, they have a video of a cafe scene of the animal crossing game playing to really set the cutesy aesthetic. The milk tea is good. They don't have as many choices when customizing sweetness, but their tea isn't too sweet at all. I enjoyed a strawberry matcha and my wife enjoyed a passionfruit green tea. Both were good. The boba was nice was good and fresh. Service was fairly quick. The girl was very sweet and offered to remake our drink if we didn't like it. We enjoyed the drink very much. Definitely a place to come and chill, study and even get a little work done.

FOOD: They only serve drinks but a good amount of options!…read moreThere are milk teas, matchas, fruit teas, coconut clouds, peachy refreshers, milkshakes and a Vietnamese cold brew. I ordered the banana matcha latte and my bf got the Vietnamese cold brew. The Vietnamese cold brew ended up being sweeter than my matcha but that not a problem for me because I do not like my drinks sweet. A good hint of banana in my drink but mostly matcha. The banana matcha latte is available for a limited time only unlike the Vietnamese cold brew. SERVICE: We were the only ones at the store during our visit but the service was quick. There was only one person taking orders and making the drinks at the time but even then I thought she did it in a timely manner. AMBIANCE: Plenty of space and a cute instagrammable install photo-op against the wall. Plenty of seats available and some games available for groups visiting the store. There is free wifi available as well. The music playing in the background was not playing too loud. I feel like the store is still pretty empty and needs some more decorations but otherwise a good space to get some work done while enjoying your drink. Will definitely come back and try the other drinks!
