Dark Nectar Coffee — Restaurant in Atascadero

Excellent service for this local coffee shop. I first discovered Dark Nectar years ago at the Templeton Farmer's Market.

What can I say... most everybody knows that I am a tea drinker but will purchase coffee as gifts if I smell and taste a delicious blend. I had met Danny years ago at the Templeton Farmer's Market and he would ship bags down to Southern California for me. I was in the area this past week and heard of his passing :( his son Tyler now runs the place and it.

The coffee is smooth, rich and very nice to serve with dessert after a meal or if you need that caffeine 'pick-me-up' in the morning. The locals were here the day I stopped in sitting up at the bar but there are couches, bookshelves and a turntable with music to invite you to chill out and relax.

My favorite is Templetucky it has a nice round flavor...

Honestly I've never even been here. I called to ask about playing music there and was met with extreme rudeness. Whoever answered made really hurtful remark and said "there's a place called Tent City down the street where you can perform."

So much for the inclusive atmosphere that's advertised on this website.

If you're some dandelion from the 805 with no Tyler Durden energy whatsoever, then this is the perfect place for you to meet other posers just like yourself.

Expect to get shut...

Moved to town recently and randomly stopped by here. The owner and his staff were amazing! I was by myself and he approached me and thanked me for coming out. We also had a great conversation while he himself hopped behind the bar. Definitely made my night, and drinks and atmosphere was top notch! Hats off to him and his staff!! I'll definitely be back!! Thanks again for the...
