    Pumpkin spice latte, pecan praline latte, breakfast supreme panini
    Tracy N.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

I am a coffee snob and have my own espresso machine at home but love visiting new coffee shops and Tribe Coffee did not disappoint. Was given recommendations by the staff, based on what i usually drink and tried something new and different and I truly enjoyed it. Skip the chain coffee shops and come support this very unique coffeehouse. Will be back! In this visit we had a kids hot chocolate, Honey Rose Latte and Velvet Virtue.

Somehow they really do blend together. Now one would expect the drink to be more green or pink somehow but it's pretty natural, which makes sense with the overall vibe of the place. No artificial colorings or flavorings here. Ham & cheese: The pastries seem to rotate so there isn't a set food menu. They had an assortment of pastries available and my preference leans more savory so a toasted ham and cheese was perfect for me for lunch. Service was friendly and informative - they have a pretty extensive menu but the staff know the menu and can offer recommendations. The ambiance is really what would deter me from coming back. Personally, it's just not my vibe, feels a little bit claustrophobic like I'm in a old beachside cottage or mini barn. The floors are worn and tired and pained this jarring shade of teal. The plate my ham and cheese was served on was a similar shade. Blue is not a color that triggers appetite traditionally so I'm curious as to why this choice was made. If I were to come back I'd probably either sit outside or take my drink to go. Really a bummer because the latte was so good. But again, just personal preference.

    You have mixed plants, coffee, and beach vibes altogether in a beautiful cafe with great vibes!!!!!…read moreCome through! Let's get into it... I got iced espresso.... She handed me that cup of coffee love. Yasss it was right! Looking like me Dark, bold, and coming with a punch. I ordered the caprese toastie - I added avocado. The toast crispy in the edges, moist in the middle. Cheese melted to perfection. Sprinkled with basil! And just know the bacon is on there! Just what I needed before fighting this damn TSA mess. I also treated myself to a lemon poppy dead loaf. When you get it thank me later- you're welcome right now. Glazed with almonds and a glaze. Sprinkled with a California poppy! You welcome. Like I cooked it lol flaky moist and good. Now they have merchandise! Support local business- the quality of this cup is amazing. Get into it! Cutest stickers for my new Stanley! Plenty of seating- I think you could absolutely study here, catch up here, and enjoy the music and vibes. I felt safe and welcomed as a black woman eating alone.

We got the turkey Avacado Sando and it was a turkey sandwich similar to what I would make for a picnic. Just boring. The matcha isn't particularly flavorful. The powder was definitely lower quality.

    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.

We called to check if chapter 25 was open and Jeff was kind enough to answer. They were closed but was willing to serve us. We ordered the lavender tea and it was delicious. Just for the service I would've given 5 stars. But lavender milk tea is one of my favorites and they did it very well. Jeff is in the new owner of Chapter 25. Glad to see young business owners like him. Wish him the best and I hope everyone can support :)
