The space is beautifully done, with tasteful decor and a comfortable, well-appointed feel. Service was top notch from the moment we arrived until we left. The cocktails were a major highlight. I had the classic Old Fashioned and my wife had an espresso martini. Both were beautifully presented and easily among the best cocktails we've had in SLO County. The food also exceeded our expectations. The double smashburger was perfectly cooked, with their house bourbon BBQ sauce and bacon, and the garlic parmesan curly fries were a fun touch and unlike anything we've had elsewhere in Atascadero. Really glad they landed in Atascadero. We'll definitely be back for a cocktail and to work our way through more of the small, thoughtfully crafted food menu.

We discovered this distillery completely by accident while stopping at the Tesla Supercharger…read moreduring a trip, and I'm incredibly glad we did. As someone who has a passion for whiskey, this was an exceptional find. Eric and Anna are truly what make this place a destination. Their passion for their craft is evident in every conversation, every pour, and every detail. They took the time to share the stories behind their spirits and were genuinely excited to talk about what they create, which made the experience even more memorable. The drinks were outstanding. The Old Fashioned I tried was exceptionally smooth and perfectly crafted. I also had a martini with blue cheese olives, and they were hands down the best blue cheese olives I've ever had. What stood out most was the passion and hospitality from the entire staff. It's rare to find a place where everyone is so invested in the craft and creating a welcoming experience for guests. This will absolutely become a destination stop on future trips through the area. I'm very thankful for the hospitality and the incredible experience we had here.

We found ourselves in Atascadero, needed some good coffee and found this gem!…read more The coffee house seems small from the outside, but there is plenty of room inside. They have sofa seating and many seating tables. Staff was friendly and helpful. They serve fresh pastries and also have other food items such as sandwiches and wraps. We tried their Mexican mocha and vanilla latte. Both were very good with a rich coffee flavor that we like. We also had their chocolate chip scone which was very good as well. They also have gluten free pastry options. Overall, a great coffee house. If we are in the area next time, we will definitely stop by for some more good coffee and pastries! Happy Nom Nom!

For 13 dollars I had high expectations for the underwhelming burrito I received. The eggs were wet, and tasted like they were out of the carton. The potatoes were potatoes, and did their job as a filler. The halved half stick of linguica was centered in the middle of the burrito, which made for limited taste in each bite. The strawberry macha reeked of artificial flavoring and sweetness, and was abruptly blended when I got home. I typically get their egg salad sandwich and walk away very satisfied. In this case the satisfaction definitely did not meet the price that was paid.

Nana's Ice Cream is one of my favorite spots in Atascadero! The ice cream is absolutely delicious,…read moreand the Blackberry Fudge is hands down my favorite flavor. Every scoop is rich, creamy, and full of flavor. What truly sets Nana's apart is Max Perez and Addy Carley. They have poured their heart and soul into this business, and it shows in everything they do. They genuinely care about their customers and make everyone who walks through the door feel like family. You can tell this is much more than just an ice cream shop to them. If you are anywhere near Atascadero, do yourself a favor and stop by. Great ice cream, wonderful people, and an experience that will keep you coming back.

I have tried the vegan lemon gelato, vegan Oreo vanilla and vegan raspberry chocolate. All of them are delectable. I really appreciate the selection of dairy free and vegan options at Nana's including cupcakes from Just Baked. - The ambiance and decor is cheerful and calming. The sea-foam green and creamy white color palette is perfect for social media worthy shots! Congrats on your opening and thank you for bringing your cheer to Atascadero!

We recently moved to Atascadero with our family of 3 and our 1-year-old son, and Wild Fields…read moreBrewhouse has already become a favorite. It's super family friendly, and our son loves the toddler play area. Our nieces also love the arcade games, so it's a great spot for kids and families. The beer is the best we've had in Atascadero, especially the west coast-style pale ales and IPAs like Atasca-where-o, Afraid of the Grade, Mouse Rock, and Hop Clarity. The staff has always been great, the indoor/outdoor space is awesome for groups, and having a full kitchen makes it even better. We even hosted a small lead-in gathering there the night before our son's 1st birthday party, and it was perfect. We're excited to keep coming back and becoming regulars.

First thing wife and myself noticed upon walking into Wild Fields is how it has a very similar vibe…read moreto Pizza Ports in SoCal: starting with the arcade, family friendly atmosphere, and even their beer board design. This makes total sense knowing that the owners came from San Diego and both worked for PPBC. Being familiar with Wild Fields award-winning brews we settled for the flight and then added some food later. Being a West Coast IPA couple, we were not disappointed with their draft offerings. In addition to IPAs, they have a good representaion of other styles, so there will be something for everyone-as long as they like beer. Wild Fields also puts together a home-brew competion, fuly embracing their community and craft beer roots. The winner gets to brew a batch of their recipe on the house system and this ultra low alcohol, smoked wheat beer was one of the most unique beers I've had. For the food, we had pulled pork and loaded mac-n-cheese. Pulled pork was fine, but I'd prefer more smoke flavor and aroma. For loaded mac, the protein is polish sausage-not something I've seen before. While it somewhat works, I don't think I'd order this again. They also had a ticketed comedy show, which we stayed for after the official closing time on a Saturday. It was fun and totally worth it. With their strong local connections and family atmosphere, Wild Fields in Atascadero is worth the detour from SLO and Paso destinations, especially for families.
