Scout Coffee Co. — Restaurant in San Luis Obispo

Wonderful selection of pastries and beverages The butter croissant was delicious -- flaky, buttery layers, and fluffy in the center. Highly recommend! The cheese & chive scone was also really good -- full of onion and cheese flavor. The scone had a nice crust but I felt like it was a little moist for a scone IMO. Regardless, still a winner in my book! Very cute coffee shop with big windows, a decent amount of seating (some are very awkward and uncomfortable) and cute decor. Horrible and very slow wifi. If you're trying to get any real work that requires a stable connection, you'll loose your f*cking mind here. It's impossible to load a web page, and forget about uploading even a small attachment to an email. After about 2 hours of trying to make it work, we had to leave to another cafe. Not many easily accessible outlets for charging devices. The only one we could find was right by the entrance door and against the wallpapered wall. Those stools are extremely uncomfortable and it's not an easy place to work sitting in an awkward position. The place gets pretty crowded with people of all ages. You have students, remote workers, and people meeting up for afternoon pick me up. It's a very lively but chill ambiance. Personally, I feel like a lot of the space is wasted on retail. There is a whole section in the middle of the cafe that's just occupied with little nick knacks for sale. It's like a mini Urban Outfitters in the middle of the cafe that feels really unnecessary. They have one single stall restroom for customers. It's dark but very clean! I love me a clean restroom :) Service is very friendly...

This isn’t a review so much as my personal experience drinking a cup of coffee at Scout Coffee. I love coffee and will drink anything from instant coffee to micro-roasted, handcrafted pour over.

I ordered a cold-brew. It was incredibly sour (for my taste). I added cream and simple syrup; it did not improve enough to make me want to drink. I tossed it out half finished.

I had just paid $5.50 for that small/medium coffee. This is the most that I have ever paid for a cold-brew. I live in an expensive area and buy artisan coffee from all kinds of coffee shops. I didn’t see why the price, especially for cold-brew, would be so high in a relatively inexpensive area.

Curious, I researched the coffee shop. My “aha moment” was when I learned that the owners are previously from Verve Coffee in Santa Cruz. This made perfect sense as the last cup of coffee that I didn’t finish was from the Verve shop on 41st Ave in Santa Cruz. This was years ago, so it obvious that my tastes don’t match the style of coffee that they produce. Obviously, other people enjoy the coffee, so this information is just to provide a different perspective than the previous “reviewers.”

On the upside, the shop is comfortable, well-laid out, and looks great. The service was good - friendly, helpful and unpretentious. If you like coffee and coffee shops, go in and check it out. But if you don’t like it, you will know that you...

First time in this restaurant and definitely trying it again in my next visit to SLO. I loved this coffee place only bad thing it was full (On a Saturday) Good for business but not good for my first time wanting to have the full experience. I sat at the outside tables, it was a very nice morning to sit outside so I enjoyed that environment a lot. The service was fast-paced, friendly and organized. The order took some time to come out but I took into consideration how many orders were ahead of me. I loved their sweets I tried two; chocolate croissant and blackberry almond croissant. So delicious!! My coffee was a latte with oat-milk and the sunshine syrup which was tangerine and cinnamon…. Amazing!!! Their serving sizes were big enough to make it my breakfast meal instead of a snack with coffee. I recommend this place note; my experience was outside I spent little time inside, made my order, pay, take my order and eat outside. It was marvelous. I took the dishes back inside of course I ordered dine in but I did it “dine out”. Inside well you must enjoy places where you wait until a table gets empty and possibly wait until is cleaned or you clean it yourself with what you can etc. I’m sure the service is great enough that they would help you out in any way they can to accommodate you. Again I went on a Saturday maybe is not like that everyday. Hope you enjoy it as much or...
