This coffee shop has a genuine hometown feel. Cozy, casual and really good coffee! Served up with friendly and fun service. The owner is a character who goes out of his way to make you feel welcomed and continue to draw his community together. We were visiting for a few days and he promised to make me a GF fruit coffee cake the next morning and he did!! Looking forward to going back!

Walked in and was able to order after a bit of a wait - ordered my large iced white mocha to go. The drink came up fairly quickly and the prices are decent for the area. I came here years ago and enjoyed it then and do now. Docking 1 star because the tiny bathroom is as awful as I remember and my mocha didn't have any real flavor to it.

This café was a wonderful experience all around. The staff were so friendly, even bringing out the food to the dining area rather than I'm just calling my name to grab it. I got a quiche, which looked delicious in the pastry case, and looked even more delicious once they plated and warmed it up for me, adding both avocado and salsa to it. They really care about the food they make here, and it shows through the care with which it is served, even a to go order, as well as the quality and taste. I love the location as well as the ambience of this place. It is absolutely the perfect beach, town, coffee bar, with an amazing little dining patio, where the sunshine is just right in the morning.

FANTASTIC Rock Burrito! Highly recommend this breakfast burrito or the bagel too. My wife got the bagel and loved it! We both had the dirty chai, and made a perfect combo!

Me and my sister stopped in for a little breakfast and coffee while on vacation. The staff were great and so funny and the cafe was so cute! We got a vanilla latte with oat milk which was so perfect and I got the bagel breakfast sandwich, it was so good! I highly recommend stopping by if you are in the area!

Food was great, the salsa is amazing in my opinion! Service was awesome, seems like they have a great really great group working there. The owner Mike was very nice and even offered suggestions on where to go around town. For newbies, we really appreciated it and he made it feel very welcoming. The shop was quirky and had amazing paintings and the decor was cool and fun! It was really pretty in the back area with a running fountain. They are also dog friendly, we saw a couple furry friends, which is always a plus in my book!

The rich welcoming aroma of espresso whilst strolling through Morro bay lead me here. A cozy little nook with the friendliest proprietor who gave recommendations of where to visit on the unhurried trip northward. Latte was one of the best I've had Highly recommend !!
