They make some of their pastries in-house and also bring in items from other local bakeries. The pastry selection was a bit limited when we visited, but the service was friendly and the prices were very reasonable. We tried the dulce de leche croissant and an iced mocha. The iced mocha was excellent. The croissant wasn't the best I've ever had, but it was tasty and a good value for the price. Overall, a pleasant little spot for coffee and a pastry. I'd definitely come back and try some of their other offerings.

They are always so nice and welcoming. The coffee is some of the best I have ever had. A must go…read moreevery time I am in Pismo.

Scorpion Coffee Shop Review…read more I tried their 16 oz Iced Vanilla Latte, and it was pretty good! The espresso has a stronger, bolder flavor profile, so the coffee taste definitely stands out. It's not overly sweet, which is perfect if you enjoy tasting your espresso. However, if you're someone who prefers a little more vanilla flavor and sweetness over a strong coffee taste, I recommend adding 2 extra pumps of vanilla! My boyfriend ordered the Pineapple Smoothie, and it was absolutely delicious! Super refreshing and full of flavor! Overall, a great little coffee stop with something for both coffee lovers and smoothie lovers!

Absolutely satisfying cinnamon roll experience! We got two contrasting topping choices (Maple…read moreBacon & Cherry Cream) and loved both options as we ate them out on the pier seating. The shop is very cute and the option to watch the rolls get cut, needed, and shaped through the transparent dividers offered a fun experience while we warmed our buns in their customer-accessible microwave. As with any Pismo Beach business in the downtown area, your experience with crowds will vary depending on if you go on a weekday or weekend. The shop will be notably bustle-filled with lines if you go during the hot days of Friday through Sunday.

Was expecting a crazy line but it was pretty empty. However, they do no have a queuing system so…read moreeveryone was waiting in different spots to order. A cashier looked at me to order and a customer accused me of cutting. Not a great start. The actual process of ordering and receiving the cinnamon rolls was efficient so I was out quick. I order the walnut cinnamon roll and regret not ordering one with frosting. The cinnamon roll was a bit dry. It was served at room temperature. Would have been good reheated which I dont think they offer. Maybe they can consider put a microwave for self warming. Overall, a good cinnamon roll. Not too sweet. I would try it again.

The cafe was pretty packed and cozy inside, with a small line when we arrived, but it moved quickly. We ordered two cold brews with sugar-free syrup and a breakfast burrito to share. Luckily, we were able to snag a table outside on the patio, which was cute, spacious, and a great place to enjoy our breakfast. Despite how busy they were, our drinks and food came out surprisingly fast. The breakfast burrito was delicious and perfect for sharing! I also appreciated seeing the owner casually hanging out in the cafe's lounge area and then jumping behind the counter to lend a hand when things got busy. It's always nice to see an owner who's present and willing to help their team, or whoever the man in the sandals was. Overall, great atmosphere, tasty food, quick service, and a really enjoyable little stop along the coast. Would definitely come back!

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.

The donuts are absolutely delicious and unique, the owner is so nice, and the coffee is great! This trip, our favorite was the French Toast donut, followed closely by the Dirt Surf donut!

Fancy donuts by the beach!…read more It's a small shop next to a couple other small shops. They have a couple of tables and chairs outside for you to enjoy your donut too. There always seemed to be a trickle of people coming in to order donuts. The workers were always patient, especially since it took me a while to decide on a donut. The donuts are on the sweeter side, but very tasty.

I have ordered fish and chips and their lobster roll, I am never disappointed with their food.

They truly have amazing clam chowder! Totally recommend to get it fully loaded if you can. The only…read moredrawback was that I ordered the cup and there was no space to add all the fillings; the cup was overflowing. The shrimp SLO boy was amazing as well. Really loved the salmon taco fillings (the fish was so tender and perfectly flavored!) but the tortillas were cold and bland. The seating didn't look that pleasant inside so we took our food by the beach to eat. There was a line at 1 pm on a Saturday but it didn't take too long; we waited around 20 minutes total. There is a free public parking lot a 7 min walk away on Park Ave that you can park in. There were quite a few free spaces.

So, I'm really conflicted about leaving a review for Beachin' Biscuits. Do I really want other…read morepeople to know about it? Do I want to have to jostle against them as I fight my way in the next time I'm in Pismo? Well, the food here is so good that I've decided, when I win the lottery, that I'm moving to Pismo so I can live closer to Beachin' Biscuits. I was raised on biscuits and gravy. My Granny was from the OK Panhandle and I was unfortunate enough to live in West Texas for almost a decade while growing up. The one good part of that experience was biscuits and gravy (and chicken fried steak). Calling Beachin' Biscuits biscuits and gravy "legit" is to undersell them. These are special occasion B&G. Also, for the first time in my life, I felt like putting gravy on a biscuit was (almost) a crime. These biscuits are f***ing good! Even under layers of sausage, cheese, and gravy I could tell they were fluffy and buttery. Pretty sure these are the biscuits served in heaven. I write this review the day after my visit, having just finished eating my wife's leftovers - and yes, they reheat well. Maybe a few people will read this review and decide to inconvenience my next visit by being there, but I take solace in all the California moss munchers who will never know the joys of sausage gravy, and therefore, not interfere with my next visit to Beachin' Biscuits.

The coffee menu is really impressive, they put a lot of effort into everything they make. I love their house made cashew almond milk and yogurt and granola bowl. Really good baked goods well.

(Also, just FYI there is a parking lot on the left side of the building as well as street parking).

Second time here while visiting the area. Great indoor space. Several different seating areas to…read morechoose from. Extremely friendly staff. They were helpful both times I visited. Clean bathrooms with a changing station. If you walk towards the restrooms you will notice there is a church attached to the coffee shop. Several classrooms, workshops etc. On the flip side my coffee (both times) did not taste good at all. I thought the second time around would be better and it wasn't ... super disappointing. Ordered a cinnamon & honey latte which wasn't too bad. Now the second time around I ordered a mocha latte with their house made cashew milk. I must of been missing something here because everyone seemed to be enjoying their drinks. Except me. Also ordered a few things like the breakfast tacos (2) as recommended. Wasn't a fan of the crispy potatoes on top. Some tasted burnt but overall not too bad. Also got the breakfast burrito which looked delicious. It was almost like a quesadilla burrito. Potatoes were soft and everything was well portioned. The chocolate croissant and cinnamon roll were huge and also really good.
