Housemate pastries. Full menu. Looseleaf teas. Excellent coffee. I got the gluten free olive oil cake. So moist, vibrantly fresh, and insatiabley scrumptious. So many spots to sit here: outside circular tables with umbrellas, window bar, big living room feeling space with tables and plugs and a crammed bookshelf with books and boardgames, and then the oh so charming back courtyard with many sweet seating possibilities. Love Linnea's!

While visiting SLO for the weekend, dropped into this cute cafe to try their house blend of chai…read more Service was amazing, from ordering to personally delivering a warm mug & egg tartine to our outdoor table. The chai, however, fell far short of expectation. While I appreciate the effort of a house blend, it sadly lacked any spice or uniqueness. It was liquid, it was brown, and it had some sweet to it. But didn't get any hint there was spice. That may be what they were going for, but it definitely won't make my list of chais to come back for. On the plus side, the egg tartine was tasty and well prepared! And we had a wonderful conversation with a local at the outdoor seating area. Overall, pleasant eating experience, but not my cuppa chai.

I liked the stainless steel cups for self serve water. We ordered the Orange cardamom latte (half sweet) and a Breakfast burrito with bacon (it comes with steak but they swapped it out with bacon for us) the server was friendly and offered us suggestions on our order. The burrito was delicious. Good enough for two people. Very hearty. Didn't love the salsa that came with it but maybe that's just me.

Luckily they had a small fridge with some bottled sparkling water. Patio seating is your best bet here. Sadly the employee said someone stole their umbrellas and propane tank. So the patio had 1 umbrella which was the only table outside that was occupied so bring a hat! The menu is very limited but they did have one salad, a steak salad. It was very nice, reminded me of a fall salad. I will come again to try their breakfast menu.

And it's not just my opinion as they were recently recognized in SLO Times. With a new menu monthly--offering locally sourced ingredients--everything is always a win! I'm constantly ordering something new to try but my go to is the amazing spicy chai latte. The way they make it cannot be beat by anyone in the area! Ok that may just be my opinion but I dare you to tell me otherwise. This day I ordered the strawberry basil waffle with whipped mascarpone and olive oil with of course my favorite: the spicy chai latte!!! They're so good that it's just one of those dishes that you wished stayed on the menu permanently. They have something for everyone and I recommend everything here!!! Also don't be surprised if there is a long queue in the morning. The wait is worth it!!!

Shared some of the homemade scones and had an avocado toast with a latte and really enjoyed it! They have free coffee refills (not specialty drinks) which is an added bonus. The place isn't very big so when it's crowded it can get hard to find a place to sit while your food is getting prepared and it can also be a little loud. But overall, enjoyed it and would come back on occasion.

A phenomenal California Burrito…read more There's dozens of dozens of dining options in downtown SLO. I looked at various menus and online reviews. Every item seemed to be priced 25-50% more than I wanted to spend. Walked past Kreuzberg and initially thought it was only coffee and pastries. The whole layout is immaculate. Outdoor seating, indoor group seating and even a few private seats in the corner that give it a VIP ambiance. Hidden inside was a narrow lounge area with turntables with a bar area at the end. A DJ was set to start at 8pm. The music genre schedule varies. I will return. The burrito was top tier. Side of chips added to the filling satisfaction. Only downside was the price but if you add the quality service, cleanliness, vibe and atmosphere...the value is there.

On my quest to find chai in every city I visit, was excited to try Kreuzberg after reading their…read morereviews. It was past 7pm and the place was still hoppin' with groups on the outdoor patio, back room lounge and main area. It has more of a restaurant/club vibe than a coffee shop which gives it a special charm. When asked about their chai the friendly barista was happy to share that they don't use dry powder, they use a spicy concentrate. That's one plus!! But, it's not a house brew, it's basic Third Street Chai you buy off the shelf at the local grocer, chef supply, or natural foods store :( To their credit, they heat it up well and top it with a fancy cinnamon design on the milk foam. When asked if there is a local chai, the barista (who is a chai fan) couldn't think of any. This explains why the local reviews were so good for mediocre concentrate. While the chai quest was a miss here in SLO, Kreuzberg is still a pretty cool spot, with a fun, social vibe, friendly, helpful staff, and some tasty looking items on their menu (just not a stop for chai).

Should Have Known Better…read more.... I've been to the Nautical Bean on Los Osos Valley Road a few times since my review in March 2026 and each visit earned 4 or 5 stars. Not bad! But I went back on Monday, June 8th and had a very different experience. I ordered 2 small cups of hot chai with extra foam, extra hot and 1/2 sweet. When they were done, both were "heavy" meaning they felt like there was no foam. I checked and yup...no foam. I mentioned it to the barista who said "no problem. I'll do them over". They were done quickly, but still felt "heavy". I didn't want to go back and figured "it's just me". I got into my car and tried one. It was 90% the same as before. She simply scraped a sliver of the drink off the top and added a touch of foam. Plus...the liquid was "thin" meaning she nearly scalded the drink to get it hot. The 2nd chai was the same way. And the shop wasn't even busy at the time. Everyone at the Nautical Bean is friendly and the vibe is great, but next time I'll take my own advice...even if that means going back to the barista twice to get things right.

It didn't take long to get my drinks. I love the little "self serve" station of lids, straw, etc. I couldn't decide between the 2 so I ordered both. They are both really good. I had to stir the mango for a bit but it ended up being my favorite. Definitely recommended, both the white lotus and the mango with the coconut milk foam This seems to be a chill place for locals as some were playing card games and some were doing work on the computer. Clean place as well!

There is a private parking lot and there were plenty of spaces during the day. Once we entered, the ambiance and decor were so bright and welcoming. The staff were super friendly and their service was great. Luckily there wasn't anyone else in line so we were able to ask questions about their menu. After they gave their recommendations, we ended up with the bon bon, abuela's, and an americano. All were very good, but abuela's was my favorite! Very flavorful! There were also seating areas inside and out, and some cute merch and other items for purchase. We will definitely be back if in town again!

We didn't realize the coffee shop was inside the complex and accidentally parked next door. We apologized and moved, but one nearby gentleman seemed disproportionately upset by our innocent mistake despite there being plenty of open spaces. As for the drinks, my husband ordered the Choco Latte and I got the iced Matchas Gracias. Both were decent. My matcha was a bit grainy, but the vanilla cold foam was tasty and helped balance it out. The space itself is charming, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Overall, nothing was wrong with the experience, but the drinks weren't memorable enough to bring me back, and the rocky start with parking left me feeling a little less enthusiastic than I'd hoped. I'm glad we tried it, but I probably wouldn't make a special trip to return.
