    I was very, very unimpressed with Cafe Andreini. The coffee was really not very good at all; no flavor or actual coffee taste. I ordered an iced latte with an add shot and it tasted like watered down (barely) coffee. Orders the bacon tacos and bacon and they were extremely bland, essentially with no flavor or seasonings. Service was not great either - not very friendly or friendly, However, they are dog friendly which is a plus. They also have expansive indoor and outdoor seating options which is nice. I would probably not go back here again for coffee or food.

    Cafe Andreini was a cute place, loved the reclaimed, mixed use looking space. I was not crazy about the menu. The person at the counter was basically giving yes or no answers to open ended questions asking about the items. The breakfast tacos were great, but the other thing was (I thought) and sandwich but was instead some bacon/egg/avocado on toast. Menu could use a look, especially for people just visiting the area and aren't regulars. Still a positive experience overall.

    Breakfast Burrito, Iced Americano, Avocado Toast

    I chose Café Andreini because it was conveniently located in the middle for everyone meeting up--but it ended up becoming our new favorite spot! I was catching up with friends, and we were not disappointed. The coffee was perfectly roasted, the pastries were fresh, and the food was absolutely delicious. I had the breakfast burrito, and the salsa was amazing--fresh, flavorful, and the perfect kick. The waffle was fabulous, paired with fresh fruit that tasted like it had just been picked. We also ordered the avocado toast, which had a unique and delightful twist with nuts, a sweet glaze, and cheese--it was unforgettable! Café Andreini is now officially on our "must return" list. Great coffee, fresh food, and a warm, inviting atmosphere--what more could you ask for?

    Looks good but is stone cold, inedible and completely dried out.... The eggs and bacon weren't even made fresh.

    I'm local and I should've known better. The last time I tried this place was a couple of years ago, in fact I think it's actually even changed names but the service was completely nonexistent then and damn near the same now. I showed up at 10:30 on Sunday morning before the church crowd and ordered a waffle with scrambled eggs and bacon and a Mexican mocha. It took them 27 minutes to make my Mexican mocha and there were only about five people sitting in the restaurant. It took them over 45 minutes to make my waffle, at which point my Mexican mocha was stone cold but I still try to eat it. Then when I finally got my coffee table I discovered that it was also stone cold and the eggs and bacon ate pre-cooked - they left it sitting on the counter to set up like concrete. This is literally all I was able to get down and I watched two other families absolutely walk out because it was taking so long. Then staff refused to refund them their money because "they were finally working on it" Over 45 minutes for a burrito?!? I could see if they were busy but they're not and now I know why. Never again.

    We were visiting friends in the area and stopped here for breakfast during our morning walk. The cafe is very spacious and staff were friendly. Cofffee and food were AOKAY. They tasted very heathy and I really liked their salsa. Lots of outdoor seatings and plenty inside also and they have some pretty cute merchs.

    Soda, small coffee, smoothie ($10 for that size?), avocado toast, and chicken toast ($28.50 for both!)

    Prices do not match up to how small the serving sizes are. $28.50 for two SMALL open faced sandwiches, each sandwich is a small single slice of bread. We were still hungry after. Besides the small servings & big prices, the other reason for low review is it's really gross to have light colored over-stuffed furniture with multiple large stains on them. I'm also tired of food being plated on wood cutting boards, those aren't meant for heavy use. How exactly are you cleaning them properly? You can't run them through a dishwasher, and a wipe down with a sani cloth doesn't count as cleaning.

    Very cute and cozy cafe in downtown Arroyo Grande! I like the ambiance. I ordered coffee and the breakfast toast. Coffee tasted good. I liked the toast because it was fresh (I was wondering if they baked it in the morning??? ) My boyfriend ordered oatmeal and that looked good too. They have non coffee options to drink. That's nice! There were some couches to relax, which adds cozy vibe in the cafe. We went back to the cafe again next day. I ordered Blueberry scone and cafe latte. The scone was not too much sugary (that's what I like ) and latte was very tasty. There is an outdoor seating. When the weather is good, that would be nice to eat breakfast under the sunshine. Dog friendly outside, but not inside. There are some gift shops close to this cafe so maybe you can stop by for coffee after shopping. There are some public parking close to the cafe.

    We visited this cafe twice while staying down the street for the weekend. This is an adorable little coffee shop! There is plenty of seating, indoor and outdoor, with a variety of seating options (chairs, tables, couches, etc). It was busy both mornings with people grabbing breakfast, studying, etc. The first morning we tried the sausage breakfast burrito, which was delicious and very filling, and the ABC Toast, which was very fresh and delicious, but less filling as it was just one piece of toast. The second day we shared an açaí bowl, which was delicious and a good portion size. I tried a matcha latte the first day, but their matcha comes pre-sweetened and it was way too sweet. However, the mango tea and the mint green tea were both delicious. My husband had a mocha, which he said was good but also very sweet. We will definitely come here again when we are back in the area!

I've had them at plenty of places, and these were honestly some of the best I've ever had. The beans, pico de gallo and chorizo sauce were so good together. I ordered mine with soft corn tortillas instead of crispy ones and scrambled eggs, which I definitely preferred. My husband and I also shared the tiramisu French toast, which was delicious and a HUGE portion, so come hungry! The kids' menu is very generous, maybe even a little too generous if your kids have smaller appetites. My 11-year-old got the $12 pancake meal with eggs and sausage but could really only finish the pancake. We took the eggs and sausage back to the hotel, but honestly they'll probably end up getting thrown out. For my 5-year-old, we just ordered a pancake by itself for about $4, and he only ate about a quarter of that. So if your kids don't eat a lot, I'd definitely recommend ordering the $4 pancake by itself instead of the full kids' breakfast. In hindsight, I would've done that for both of mine. Overall, the food was excellent and the portions were very generous. We'd absolutely come back the next time we're in the area. Highly recommend!

The English muffin is all doughy and not toasted. I shouldn't have to ask them to toast an English muffin. That's just common sense. The eggs were very runny and the bacon was mostly fat and not crispy and it was too salty to eat. The hollandaise sauce is very salty as well and to much on top. They are not flexible or accommodating to a customer's requests. They also charge a 3% fee for using a credit card. No thanks. (That's one way to lose business.) The lights are very low and strange. You have to adjust your eyes. Way too dark in there. Parking is not easy. We won't be back.

The biscuits were ok at best, Gravy lacked flavor and my eggs were as cold as the weather outside. My GF ordered a sandwich, that did not come with fries. That was discovered once the order arrived. We were told they're playing with the menu. ‍, sounded weird but ok. She also god a side of mozzarella sticks. Those two were cold. Like they took a string cheese and rolled it in breading and heated in the microwave for about 15 seconds. So disappointing. I hope they figure out their staffing issues and lock in the menu. Seems like a decent spot but I'll find another breakfast place. Don't waste your money, plus I heard the tips are automatically added to the bill. I didn't look that closely because there was only 3 of us eating and I'm not used to auto tipping unless you have a large party. If they do auto tipping, my waitress hit well more than deserved because I tipped on my own as well. The table we were sat, was out of little jam packets. Seems like a trivial thing to bring up but details matter. What else are they skipping...? Do they even wipe down a table when it's reset first the next guests? McDonalds is down the street. At least their food is hot!

We both ordered the seafood platter for lunch, and chose the soup as the side (one clam chowder, one chicken tortilla). While the wait staff was very good and the wait time was typical for noontime, once the food arrived, the quality of the meal was quite substandard, especially for this area. I have never had such gristly fish, ever. I had to work hard to cut through it with a typical butter knife. It had no flavor and was unpleasant to chew. There was no flakiness to any of the four pieces. The shrimp was good, but I assume it was frozen. The cocktail sauce and the tartar sauce were both delicious, but it just wasn't enough to mask the texture of the fish. I then tried the chicken tortilla soup since the waiter recommended it. Instead of chicken meat, it has chicken skin. Gross. I will say the clam chowder was very good, and I regretted not ordering it. I'm sorry to say we won't be back unless just for a cup of chowder and a beer.
