    Diet Plate delicious!!!
    Jim C.

    Food is great..price is right and service is awesome!!!!! Have eaten here a few times...I am from AG..I make a point to eat here when in town...

    Pretty good breakfast! Healthy portions, price was average. Great customer service! The place was clean. The only complaint is they don't have Coke products. We will be back.

    Mushroom Cheeseburger

    Best Mushroom Cheeseburger ever!! Wow! The bun was light and airy, generous portions of mushrooms and pickles, freshly sliced tomato and lettuce was very crisp, generous amount of onions. This was a burger I would've made at home, delicious I've never seen portions like this since the 1980s!!Awesome! Of course the burger itself was big(1/3lb) delicious and juicy, and served with so many fries- cooked to perfection!! Diners Do Not do that these days! Prices very affordable , this plate was $13.95 most diners charge over $20 and give you half the amount that was served here -with less quality as well--not this place!! I travel through this area maybe twice a year --I will now always stop here to eat, A must go to!!

    Pastrami Burger - Good size and juicy.

    The ambiance in the Cowgirl Cafe is easy going. Warmth and at-home is what the restaurant seems to want their guests to feel upon entering and enjoying a good meal. Everywhere one looks, there are photos and historical articles & items, from rustic to modern country - incorporating the past and present country life. The service was a little slow, but cordial and attentive. The restaurant is very clean with table or booth seating options. Pastrami Burger - moist hamburger with tender pastrami on a fresh bun. Really enjoyed this selection. Turkey Avocado Bacon Club Sandwich - good size sandwich with fresh, crisp ingredients. Delicious. We were impressed with our food selections as the portions were generous and flavorful. We would return when in the area.

    We wanted to go somewhere different for breakfast and have gone to cowgirl cafe in Nipomo numerous times, so we decided to try the Atascadero location out. The service was great and the food was good. Even though it was super busy, the service did not fail. Great customer service which lacks in most places these days. I really like the ambience at those location. It is also a lot bigger than it looks from the outside.

    Country scramble, Short Stack pancakes and Bacon & egg breakfast

    This was our first time at this location. We moved here during Covid from South County. This cute western style restaurant never disappoints. Friendly staff and great food. We've been coming to this cafe for almost 30 years first in Pismo Beach and then Nipomo. The food is always delicious and no shrinkage (portion size) like everywhere else. The price is more than reasonable. We even came in about 45 minutes before close and we were never rushed. So happy to have this here!

    Located on El Camino, in the Food 4 Less shopping center, is Cowgirl Cafe. When we were in South County, we went to the Nipomo location a lot. This was the first time to this location. There was plenty of parking and the restaurant is huge! Very deceiving. It's got that down home, country vibe. The staff was running around and making sure people were good. I ordered the OJ, Veggie Omelette w/home fries, sourdough toast, and homemade salsa. I also, partaken in a short stack. Everything was good. The Oj came in a Mason Jar, was sweet and tart. The veggie omelette was cheesy and every bite had vibrance from the different veggies. The home fries were big chunked, crispy outside and fluffy inside. The toast was toast. The homemade salsa reminded me of Jacko's in Nipomo. Chunky Tomato forward type. The pancakes were nicely cooked with great fluff. Overall, very good and everyone enjoyed themselves in my party.

    Western theme restaurant.

I could barely see the pastries in the case. No worries though, I saw what I came in for. Purchased a French baguette for $3.70. Beyond amazed at the price. Excited to have some with my coffee, I ripped off a piece almost immediately and noticed the nice crust on the outside. 5 stars for the crust!! As for the flavor, it seemed a little flat. It was lacking some of the wheaty-tangy flavor you would get from a longer prove/fermentation. The inside of it was also missing all those nice deep pockets you see in a French baguette. Overall, not a bad baguette, but not one that you yearn for. I'd like to mention the young lady Annabel I had the privilege of meeting outside of the bakery. She was on a delivery run, but told me about their IG page, and we had a wonderful chat about cookies. Thank you for your time, Annabel, you are awesome!

They had the crunchy, flaky outside while being soft and buttery inside. This is now my favorite place to get a croissant. Tried the ham and cheese today and it was good and still flaky, even after being heated. I've had their plain ones too. Next time, I'll try their almond ones. That seems popular and everyone sitting near me, was eating the almond one.

I travel up here for work on occasion and it was a great place for me to purchase fresh donuts instead of the ones down in SLO specially if I wasn't down there already. Overall, The vibe here is more cozy but it is also in a busier location because of the location of the movie theater. I've driven by here hundreds of times but never realize that it was hiding in plain sight. All of my usual favorites are here. There's always a lot of the fancy looking donuts and my personal favorites are the creampuffs. These are probably one of the best creampuffs I've ever had. They're almost like larger donut holes with cream in there. They're just wonderful. I've always wanted to try some of the drinks that they have here but I've always only purchased the donuts and creampuffs here. The last time I was here, the team was very friendly and helpful and they were able to get me in and out of there in a matter of minutes. There is tons of parking here and it's plaza. if you get lucky, there are spots right outside on the street for easy access.

I needed roughly 5-10 mins to look over all of the options before making my selections. There is a front case with all of the specialty donuts and a whole back wall with the classics donuts. To say I was overwhelmed would be an understatement. As a group of 4 we decided to order several donuts to share. We ordered the blueberry cake, pecan pie raised, mashed potato raised, lavender with sprinkles raised, pumpkin cheesecake, espresso filled, pumpkin brûlée bites, and a jalapeño ham and cheese croissant. The donuts are very beautifully decorated and the time that was spent decorating them shows. The customer service was patient, kind and very helpful. Some of the funky donuts such as the mashed potato raised donut is actually vanilla flavored and thankfully the person helping us was patient enough to tell us all of the flavors. All of the donuts were delicious. No complaints what so ever. As for the prices, they were listed above and everything is a fair price for speciality donuts. Additionally, they offered a very generous 25% discount for military. Inside there were seating options surrounding a fire place, bar style seating, and some options outdoors.

We ordered the French dip with potato salad and the Cuban sandwich with Caesar salad. The Cuban had great flavor and was plenty filling. I liked the salad although not really a Caesar to me but still good flavor. The French dip was great. We got it as is and it was so flavorful on its own but adding the au jus took it to the next level! We didn't really care for the potato salad but it's more on preference. It was more like a southern potato salad. We loved the bread it was with though. Had a crunch but didn't hurt the roof of your mouth. We will be back to try other things.

I happened to be up in Atascadero with my daughter during their opening hours, fortunately, and stopped in. The last few times I'd tried to come here they weren't open, so I was excited. They seemed understaffed, with only 2 people I think, but quickly greeted us, took our order, and helped get our outdoor table ready. There was a bunch of road construction and my daughter wanted to watch the tractors and trucks. Nice little nook in the corner of the shopping center, decent seating inside and a handful outside. I ordered the cuban sandwich, I like them but so many around SLO county are just not good. Well, this came out on a beautiful bread roll and was packed full of the meats. The pickles and mustard were perfect, the ratios were great, it was a mouthful. The bread was baked excellent and really the stand out, as it should be at a bakery. That said, this is a sandwich I'd happily drive up 41 to get again. Can't wait to come back and try more sandwiches and hopefully come home with some fresh baked bread.
