Stopped by for a quick coffee and ended up finding one of my new favorite chocolate croissants!…read more I ordered a vanilla iced latte--it had a nice, smooth flavor and was pretty solid. But the real star was the chocolate croissant. It was incredibly soft, filled with so much rich chocolate (not the usual barely-there filling you sometimes get). Every bite was perfectly chocolatey and honestly exceeded my expectations. As someone who loves chocolate croissants, this one definitely stands out as one of my favorites. I'll absolutely be coming back for another

Little gem in Pismo, warm and friendly customer service, great coffee, delicious pastries…read more It's a must visit if you are either spending time or driving by.

Came to pismo for a family getaway and of course had to have our morning coffees. The staff were…read moreextremely helpful and friendly. The environment was super cool and cozy. I was very happy with all of our drinks and the flavors they offer. I will definitely be recommending friends to stop by and try this sweet coffee shop.

I had a memorable experience at Scorpion Bay Coffee (Pismo Beach). I ordered the Salty Nut Latte…read more($7.25 - Iced - 20oz). This coffee contains salted caramel, pistachio & vanilla syrup, milk, and four shots of espresso. This fresh brew whisked me away on a magical journey. In the end, I found happiness. I arrived at Scorpion Bay Coffee (Pismo Beach) on Thursday (around 9:20AM). Surprisingly, there's nearby, competitive neighborhood parking. However, parking is consistently hard because it's Pismo Beach (expect parking meters). Fortunately, it's a leisurely four minute walk from the beach's coastline. When I had arrived, the location was stuffed with customers. POPULAR!! The line took about eight minutes to reach the counter. Staff is professional and diligent. Staff appeared fatigued, but Staff works hard. My drink took six minutes. As mentioned, I adored the Salty Nut Latte ($7.25 - Iced - 20oz). It perfectly balances utility and flavor. I felt very awake after sipping. The coffee and salted caramel add unexpected depth to this drink. And the playful aftertaste of pistachio and vanilla tasted delightful~ It tastes very fresh and natural. My eyes continued to widen in surprise with each following sip. It's one of the best coffees that I've ever had the honor of sipping. On ambiance, Scorpion Bay Coffee (Pismo Beach) is dimly lit and crowded. However, there's sincere utility. The location offers customer internet with password; customers must speak to staff for the details. (Pssst. It's a very easy password to remember.) In addition, I also counted six electrical outlets; each outlet is near each table. There's also a gender neutral restroom in the back. In addition, this location is very pet friendly. Commonly, I saw dogs held on leashes as customers waited in the long line to order. Scorpion Bay Coffee (Pismo Beach) also felt well-ventilated. The ceiling felt very tall, and most tables are very wide. There's about seven tables. The location also felt well-maintained and clean. Overall, I found unexpected magic at Scorpion Bay Coffee (Pismo Beach). It's one of the best coffee experiences that I've encountered. If you enjoy coffee, this is a must-try. 5 out of 5. GO!!!

The cream cheese was super soft and melted into every bite--so good. It wasn't overly cinnamon-y, which I actually loved. It had the perfect balance of sweetness, texture, and flavor.

I would definitely return. Enjoy!

A trip to Pismo coming from Fresno…read more First off the hospitality and service is just wonderful here. Super nice people working here. It's a small little shop inside but they have a quiet patio seating out in the back that is shaded. Also they have their own homemade sourdough. I got the roast beast sandwich was great, super filling, fresh ingredients, and tasty. My husband got the saucy pig, it has pulled pork inside with a side of pasta salad. The pasta salad was good but just a tad on the salty side. My kids had the lil clicker, nice bun with turkey meat and mayo combo. The kids enjoyed it. They have a clean restroom for their customers. Food will be brought out to you. Wonderful place for a quick bite.

I ordered the lobster roll and a cup of clam chowder. The lobster roll is pretty filling and comes packed with meat -- probably enough to share if you want to try other items. The clam chowder was good, creamy and straightforward. The place has a casual, hole-in-the-wall beach town feel that fits Pismo well. It's within walking distance of the beach, and there's nearby parking for about $5 an hour. Overall, a solid option for a quick, casual lunch.

The owner is friendly and nice as are all of her employees. They have a great selection on their menu so there is something for everyone. I'm not a huge breakfast person so I opted for their granola yogurt bowl and it was so good! It has orange blossom honey which adds the perfect amount of sweetness to it, and you can never go wrong with almond granola (it's my favorite). My husband got their Portuguese burrito, which he really enjoyed. We also ordered a white mocha and caramel latte, both of which had great flavor! Overall we had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back on our next trip to Pismo.

The space is large, open, and comfortable, with plenty of seating and solid Wi-Fi (I measured around 79 Mbps). The coffee and baked goods were excellent, and the barista/owner/operator was genuinely friendly and happy to talk coffee. They clearly care about quality, sourcing beans from respected roasters as far away as North Carolina and Germany, and regenerative farming practices seem to be an important part of their philosophy as well. I was staying at an Airbnb in nearby Nipomo and ended up making the drive both mornings. Completely worth it. Cheers.
