Latte - beautiful and really good
Amber E.

This is my go to coffee shop every time we come to Morro Bay. It has a cool vibe, great coffee and pastries and upbeat 70s/80s music. They also have cool books, merch, gifts and other stuff to browse. Plus, it's open early at 6 am!

Really disappointed in the Wilderness coffee. I was excited to try something new and it just tasted like milk. There was a lack of coffee flavor from the beans.

Wilderness Latte
Gabriel B.

Good service, nice ambiance. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Dogs are only allowed inside if you're picking coffee up. Really not a fan of their lattes. I was looking forward to this as there were many raving over scout coffee. However, the taste is just very diluted and watered down. I tried their wilderness latte. The notes were nice, but I expected more for the flavor.

Hot chocolate and Chi
Marisa M.

Super cute coffee shop! Staff were so friendly. The environment was super cute and trendy. I got a hot chocolate and my sister got a chi. We also got the chocolate banana bread and the chocolate chip cookie with walnuts. Delicious!

Delicious flat white.
Sue B.

We've enjoyed Scout Coffee when driving through SLO. So nice to see one in Morro Bay. The staff was friendly and efficient and gave us a really delicious flat white!

Wilderness Latte

Beautiful building with tall ceilings and an old vault! So much SEATING and great for studying or meeting a friend. Staff is very friendly and helpful in describing options. Drinks were great they had lattes made with in house syrups. I ended up trying one of the specials called the WILDERNESS LATTE and it was great! Not too sweet and very aromatic resembling essence of a pine tree almost more like a tea. Very UNIQUE and worth a stop!

Macchiato

+ friendly staff and service, takes time to chat with you + big open space with great natural lighting + plenty of seating indoor & outdoor. tables nicely spread apart where you're not too close to others if you're looking to work + they have their own merch and other cute items for sale

The vault
Louie M.

My go to coffee in the 805 delicious brew. Amber my barista was pleasant with friendly service. The ambiance is open comfortable casual. Variety of seating options with a lot of laptop action.

Chocolate raspberry scone
Miranda C.

This is one of my favorite coffee shops ever! Their syrups are homemade and their pastries are to die for! Their raspberry chocolate scone is incredible. I've had my mom stop here on her way home to San Diego from the Bay Area just so I could have the scone again. I have also gotten the almond blackberry croissant which was delicious. Can't go wrong with any of their pastries. Cute place in an old bank. They even have the vault you can see. Even when it's busy the staff is so nice.

Chocolate Croissant w/Cappuccino
Justin S.

I kept seeing this coffee shop all over social media as one of the best coffee spots in SLO County, so I knew I had to check it out for myself. When I walked in, I was impressed by how open and spacious the café felt. There was plenty of seating, making it a great place to relax or get some work done. What immediately caught my attention, though, was the pastry case since I'm a huge fan of pastries. I ended up ordering a cappuccino and a chocolate croissant. The cappuccino was okay, but it didn't quite meet my expectations. The espresso tasted fairly light, and I personally prefer a stronger, more complex espresso flavor. Overall, the drink leaned a bit too milky for my taste. The chocolate croissant was also just average. I was a little disappointed when I overheard that pastries could be warmed up upon request. I imagine it would have tasted much better warm. It would be helpful if staff mentioned this option when customers order in-store, especially for first-time visitors. Otherwise, how would new customers know? Overall, the service was friendly, and the coffee shop has a beautiful modern atmosphere. While the ambiance stands out, I found the coffee and pastries to be just okay. If you visit, I'd definitely recommend asking to have your pastry warmed up, it may make a big difference in the experience.

I stopped into Scout Coffee while in Morro Bay and really enjoyed this spot. I love how they repurposed the old bank and kept the original vault. It gives the coffee shop a unique feel and adds so much character to the space. I had the pain au chocolat, which was yummy with a nice dark chocolate flavor. For coffee, I ordered a latte with their house-made Raw Sugar and Whiskey syrup. The coffee was smooth, and the latte was just sweet enough without the syrup overpowering the coffee. Great coffee, a yummy pastry, and a unique space. I will definitely be back the next time I am in Morro Bay.

Cappuccino, Latte, morning bun and bacon cheddar chive Scone.
Kurt S.

Had coffee and pastries here for breakfast this morning. Coffee is great and the morning bun and bacon cheddar chive scone were wonderful. Ambiance is friendly, and the seating is open and airy. This is obviously an old bank, with the vault open (door is fixed open and there is plexiglass covering the opening, but you can see inside). Highly recommend. This will be our go-to as we're in Morro often.

absolute beauty of a coffee shop plus we had to charge our tesla there. Bathrooms clean, plenty of places to sit and enjoy. Now for coffee our lattes were way too milky for our taste and the lady did not ask if we wanted it hot or iced. She automatically assumed hot and because it was busy we were unable to get it switched. We didn't like our drinks and will walk to another shop next time we have to charge

See all

Reviews are largely positive. People praise the spacious, modern atmosphere, friendly, helpful staff, and fresh, delicious pastries.
