What customers say

This is a super nice coffee shop with relaxing vibes and delicious coffee. I tried large hot americano and it comes with 4 shots of espresso. Creme was super deep and thick. Great flavor came out from this basic espresso coffee and it was at proper hot temperature.

Creative and delicious baked goods, carefully crafted espresso drinks, and clean satisfying drip “filter” coffee. Reasonable prices compared to some of the other shops in SLO I visited. Rarely do I dish out 5 stars across the board, but this place earns it.

★★★★★ — John, 2025-04

The hippinest college coffee joint this side of here! Merchandising up the wazoo but in this day and age I completely understand. I hope they are able to stick around and don't succumb to the monopolies that are overtaking the world.

★★★★☆ — Jonah, 2021-12

Nice bright and airy cafe with plenty of seating and college kids working on their laptops. A tad bit too much retail merchandising for my taste, but damn good coffee! The best pour over coffee I had out of three cafes I tried. The scones were also excellent! I'd go there everyday if I could.
