Scout Coffee Co. 1130 Garden Street, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401

"Best coffee in SLO, hands down!! Tried a vanilla bean latte, a Gibraltar, and a cappuccino. All were excellently pulled and prepared, with perfect milk to coffee ratios and impeccable micro foam. Lots of homemade syrups. Will try the brown sugar and whiskey next. Oat bar was good. Street parking right outside. Definitely recommend!!! Cute gift shop area and clean bathrooms to boot!"

"This coffee shop is absolutely great! They have cold and hot coffee, tea and the atmosphere is welcoming. The actual look of the place is very neat and clean but doesn’t have a modern or minimalist look. They also sell different local and store based products. It’s located in the middle of downtown, within walking distance to many restaurants and cafes. I would recommend this place to those looking for a consistently great coffee, great atmosphere and loving locals!"

"Every time we visit SLO we have at least one visit to this downtown location of Scout coffee. It is usually very busy but the staff there is on their A game and takes care of customers very quickly. The space is airy and bright with some seating inside and out. Staff is always friendly and helpful as they are in all the Scout locations. There’s a good selection of coffee beans to take home. Good selection of fresh baked pastries and cookies. I got an almond milk latte with maple and sea salt, one of their seasonal flavors. It was really good. Friends got some cold brew coffees. My one friend wanted a growler of cold brew to take home but they don’t offer that here.But everyone left happy, thanks Scout coffee."

"the pastries and coffee were great however the service was truly subpar. the only friendly staff was the man taking our order. when our order was ready, I did not hear a name get called but we seen people who came after us getting their coffee served. went up to check if the order staged was mine and the girl simply just said “yeah all of it” as if it hadn’t been sitting for a few minutes. would return for the food itself but not the service"

"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 better than I did."
