Bakery — Restaurant in Morro Bay

This is a bakery first and foremost that dabbles in coffee. So let's do the coffee first.

Coffee is ok, for the price you pay, honestly go to Nautical Bean and grab yourself a larger cup, better taste, and more variety for the same price. Then come back for pastries or sandwiches. Coffee size is 8ish ounces with a 5 to 6 dollar price tag. The coffee we got was special so it was quite thick. Good but thick. I got hot chocolate which was decent. 4 dollars for 8 oz, nothing else added.

Pastries, oh man.... price is my main gripe. 15 dollars for a sandwich 6 dollars for a basic croissant. Are they good, yes? worth the price...? I say no, but that is just my judgment.

Service, here is another main issue. I have been there a few times to get a variety of experiences. Let me explain my expectation of good service so you get a picture. I expect to be greeted, have questions answered, and have the cashier lead me through the experience. This was not the experience I had. I had the blank stare type of service. Cashier did not greet, did not explain, when asked questions did not answer, and just stared at us or passed us the whole interaction. It was busy, yes, but some basic back and forth would be nice; a pleasant tone would have gotten a tip.

2 drinks, 1 coffee and 1 hot chocolate, a sandwich and butter croissant were 33 dollars. This is a nice once-in-a-while treat, maybe once a quarter. Though as a local, I know the spots I can go to get just as good of food and drink for way less or have points to earn free drinks (not Starbucks)

Final verdict: Tourists looking for a hipster experience that really isn't the local vibe, but is Instagram-worthy, come here and spend that money. Coming from slo, paso or other areas, it is a nice treat and a certain aesthetic. It is small with very very limited indoor seating and more options in the back, though they share that with 3 other restaurants, so be mindful of that.

Locals who are budget-minded, looking for a good cup of coffee and something to eat, maybe pass this up for the regular stop and keep it an option for a date day, or a...

I’m seeing a lot of reviews complaining about price point for pastries, or lack of coffee options so here’s my two cents. This is a bakery first and foremost. They make a lot of incredible ‘basics’ that you’ll find in most bakeries AND a lot of incredible speciality goods.

The cost of life is UP, that means so are ingredients, rent, and other goods that are required to run a place like this. Now that’s out of the way.

Let’s go to my review—the rare occasion that I get a hot coffee (that isn’t a usual black coffee) was during my visit. The vanilla latte was great, ordinary maybe, but it was GREAT. Exactly as it should be.

I picked up three pastries on this visit. Something with blueberries, something with apricot, and a Father’s Day specialty item.

Everything was amazing, and the fact that it’s a very open spaced place so you can see the entire staff working. You can see them making the pastries, the entire process if you stay around long enough.

Places like this require so much of yourself, you really have to love what you do and I really appreciate that in bakeries.

My order was worth the cost. I will absolutely come back again (I still dream of the...

This is our absolute favorite bakery in SLO County and there are tons of good ones around here!

We love everything we've had to date whether it's sweet or savory. Their pastries, chocolate, and other baked items are always balanced with the perfect amount of sweetness and hand made to impress from a visual standpoint as well.

We've always had friendly service when we've dropped in. Smaller space that they do a good job of keeping the line moving at.

Special shout out for their coffee offerings and pizza Monday's as well. The pizzas we had were superb with a phenomenal crust. Always worth the trip to Los Osos to head here for literally anything they make! Thanks...
