Perfetto Caffe — Restaurant in Grover Beach

Two years ago, I penned this review, and boy, have things changed since then! Perfetto has gone through some changes, including new owners who are now in charge of brewing the coffee and whipping up those delicious sandwiches we all love.

So, you might be wondering, how’s the new gang been doing? Well, let me tell you, it’s not easy to maintain awesomeness while putting your own spin on things. But guess what? They’ve knocked it out of the sandwich shop!

They’ve managed to keep all the goodness the original owners brewed up, like that incredible coffee, those mouthwatering sandwiches, and that welcoming smile that greets you as you walk in. But they’ve also sprinkled in a little bit of their own magic, creating a delightful blend of old and new.

I’m giving them a resounding 100% recommendation, and here’s to celebrating their one-year anniversary! Cheers to keeping the good vibes and great flavors alive! 🎉☕🥪

… (original review) This little coffee shop tucked away just off the highway in Arroyo Grande will surprise and delight. The small coffee shop run by Gennaro and Laura has that small Italian coffee shop feel and matching coffee and treats to match.

The coffee is made with pride and one of my favorites is their americano. Try it without cream or sugar. Wow.

They also have a wide variety of treats and small bites. i have tried their breakfast sandwiches and left me full and happy.

They both always welcome you With a smile and warm hellos. You don’t want to miss this short jaunt off the highway for a little coffee and smiles.

Cheers and let me know how.l you liked it. … This place continues to be the best coffee shop in the area. Stop by and give yourself a...

I think the food quality and the vibes of this place really went downhill after a change in management. This is especially noticeable in the coffee. My lattes now come with a bonus film over top. I gave it a few tries, thinking making they just had to smooth things over the transition, but it’s only gotten worse.

The food isn’t exactly gross or anything, just dull and flavorless. The salads don’t feel like they have enough of the tasty things, and the coffee is sad. This has been the biggest disappointment. They’ve made a lot of the sizes larger (12 oz cappuccino, what???) but it doesn’t make up for the mediocrity.

The small shack they operate in used to feel casual and beachy, but now it’s very cluttered and somehow darker, lending a dingy quality. It smells like burning whenever they make a panini.

Again, it’s not awful or anything, just not worth a trip (nor the infinite time it takes them to put together...

My new favorite place!! The drinks are amazing. And they have seasonal specials. The Carmel brulee caffe was outstanding. And the flavored lemonade slushy was so refreshing. The food...over the top! Everything is local and fresh. Avocado toast was the best I'd ever had, and the antipasto salad is made fresh with every order. The panini was perfection. The atmosphere is inviting with ample patio seating and dog friendly. The owners are very active and supportive of local businesses and artists, and often host art shows. The level of attention to detail and customer satisfaction is reflected in every order. I highly recommend you stop by. It's right...
