    apple pie chai latte iced

    So good. I got this everyday during my stay and each time I tried a different flavored chai latte and loved them all. My favorite is apple pie latte.

    Paid a visit while in town and thought service and coffee was great. Even bought myself a hat.

    Pumpkin spice latte, pecan praline latte, breakfast supreme panini

    Pretty cute coffee shop with both indoor and outdoor seating. There's street parking nearby and also a lot in the back Pumpkin spice latte: 2/5 I don't like nutmeg so I wasn't a fan of this Pecan praline latte: 3/5 I prefer very sweet coffee so I didn't love this. I also didn't taste a whole lot of pecan at first but it got stronger as the drink got water downed later Breakfast supreme panini: 4/5 I liked the pastrami a lot but it's a bit too simple for me as a sandwich

    Matcha Latte

    So glad this spot was close to our campsite. It ended up being the perfect little morning stop. I grabbed a hot matcha latte and it was just right, not overly sweet but still smooth and comforting. You could actually taste the matcha without it being drowned out, which I appreciate. The blueberry muffin was honestly the standout for me. It was soft, slightly crumbly on top, and tasted fresh not dry at all. It had that homemade feel especially since it was actual fresh blueberries inside. It tasted like something you'd grab from a local bakery rather than a typical coffee shop pastry. Paired with the matcha, it was a really simple but satisfying combo.

    Cute little shop that is around the corner from Grover Beach Sourdough. Came in and grabbed an Americano. Initial reaction, they aren't very friendly. I got a look, but no greeting. When I got to the counter to order, I could barely hear the server. Got my Americano and found it to be a little weak. 4 shots for the large - maybe they need to up it to 6. I don't think I'll be back. Their other menu items might be good, but for coffee, I found it to be a little weak.

    Cute spot! Very welcoming and the staff is so sweet, even opened the door for us ;) Got our drinks super quick and the outdoor seating was convenient and comfy! My blended chai was yummy and sweet if that's what you're wanting since I'm not a coffee fan hehe! My boyfriend said the coffee had a different smell but still tasted good! Prices are affordable

    Red Bee is a really cute and cozy spot with high quality coffee and tea. Great selection of food and pastries as well. I found the service to be friendly, and my chai latte was out and ready in literally 2 minutes! Their prices for drinks are well in line with the larger coffee chains, with MUCH better ambience inside and outside for those who want to sit a while, so why not support a local business instead? Easy parking in the back and on side streets is a plus.

    Walked over here for some coffee as close to Grover beach sourdough. Such a cute coffee shop! So much to look at. All decorated for Christmas! Soo many delicious looking pastries! And gluten free options. Hubs had the medium roast coffee and liked it. I had the Hawaiian latte, it was yummy! Fast service.. inside and outside seating. Definitely will be back!

    We came here twice during our trip to Pismo Beach and the coffee is great! We had it both iced and hot and it was delicious. We also ate two of the breakfast paninis and loved them! This is a nice spot close to the beach and offers tourists and locals something tasty to bring with them while walking to their hotel or to enjoy along the water.

    A "large" iced Hawaiian latte  A medium late with "light" foam  ...According to them lol

    Wanted to support a small coffee shop so I came here with another one of my family members. I ordered for a large iced Hawaiian latte. I felt like I received a medium considering the size of the cup/oz, the girl who seemed like she didn't want to be there in the first place, gave me my coffee and I had to ask to make sure it was a large, not a medium as she had called out seconds before....after that unsure answer from her, my other drink came out and was a medium extra hot latte with no foam requested. The drink was 1/4 foam and lacked flavor, again just like the first drink. Safe to say after a $13.50 bill for two coffees, $1 tip, bland coffee flavor, and not good customer service, I will not be supporting here anymore unfortunately.

    Mocha Latte w/ Oat Milk ($6.45/latte + $1/oat milk tax)

    Truth Bee Told Small, locally-owned café and roastery located in scenic Grover Beach that's been in operation since 2017 (ownership change in 2020). Red Bee was only a few blocks from the AirBnB we were staying at, so it made for a nice morning constitutional to get our morning caffeine fix. The Good: *Only three blocks from the beach. *Street and private lot parking *Outdoor dog-friendly area *Lattes were delicious and beautifully crafted. The Meh: *$1 oat milk tax (i.e., luxury tax) *Panini was OK but could've used a little more filling The Ugly: *Service was standoffish and smarmy. Definitely not what one would expect in a small mom-and-pop café like this but usually in one of the larger chains. Conclusion: Damn, fine coffee, but the Grumpy Gertrudes behind the counter spoiled the mood.

My husband had the avocado toast with a poached egg, which was unique, fresh, and absolutely delicious. My daughter had the French toast bread pudding and loved it -- moist, sweet, and the perfect breakfast treat. My son ordered the brioche breakfast sandwich with bacon, and it was seriously out-of-this-world good. It's a smaller sandwich, but it was light, filling, and packed with flavor. I had the vegetable breakfast hash, and I absolutely loved it. The vegetables were perfectly cooked, and the sauce and fresh herbs brought everything together. It was light but still satisfying and SO good. Every dish we tried was phenomenal. You can tell there is a lot of thought and care going into the food here. I'm so grateful to have such an awesome breakfast spot right here in Grover Beach. We will definitely be back to try more of the menu!

    Okay this is review is since they expanded into the cafe. September 2026…read more Please note that they dont have an official menu of the Cafe just yet, it looks like a working menu, which I have attached. Bakery has their regular breads, amazing biscuits, basque cheesecake, cookies. Limited items especially as the day progresses. The chocolate chip cookies are out of this world. They are just the right amount of thickness with a bit of chewiness and the perfect amount of salt. We buy 6 of them each time and never regret buying them, wishing I had bought more. The Cafe is a nice space with 6 tables and 4 chairs per. You can order and sit or take it to go. I ordered a egg salad sandwich from the bakery on sourdough and an egg salad sandwich from the Cafe on brioche. The sourdough was a bit too thick and chewy for my taste. And the brioche was a bit dry. The egg salad part was amazing though on both. A good balance and love the touch of shaved red onion. We also ordered the French toast bread pudding. Delicious! Plus that whipped cream is such a great pairing. Staff are super friendly and welcoming. Everything can be a bit pricey for some people, but when we drop by its usually for a short vacation so it seems worth it to buy something you will definitely enjoy. Highly recommended!

    The best quality matcha drink in the area from SLO to Santa Maria! My new go to boba place in town!…read more The last time I visited this location was almost 2 years ago when it was still the old boba shop with a different owner. According to the new owner, they're not associated with the last one in any way. Chapter 25 has its own theme that I love which is "kindness". You'll see stickers, art works, and signs both inside the store and outside that promoting kindness. I am obsessed with matcha drinks and matcha anything! If the place offers matcha drinks or desserts, I'd have to try it. From all the pictures on Yelp, their strawberry matcha seems like the most popular item, so of course I had to try it my first time here. The matcha is ceremonial quality, whisked and made as ordered, then pair with fresh strawberry puree pieces and milk. I have tried matcha drinks/latte from pretty much every coffee shops around that offer them, Chapter 25 is hands down the best one! Glad Chapter 25 is here. I just have to control myself and not come here more than a couple times a week lol.

Prices were very reasonable, service was friendly and attentive, and the location was convenient with easy parking.

The English muffin is all doughy and not toasted. I shouldn't have to ask them to toast an English muffin. That's just common sense. The eggs were very runny and the bacon was mostly fat and not crispy and it was too salty to eat. The hollandaise sauce is very salty as well and to much on top. They are not flexible or accommodating to a customer's requests. They also charge a 3% fee for using a credit card. No thanks. (That's one way to lose business.) The lights are very low and strange. You have to adjust your eyes. Way too dark in there. Parking is not easy. We won't be back.
