Scorpion Bay Coffee is amazing! We were visiting Pismo and stopped in for some coffee and…read morebreakfast. The menu options for coffee is large with a variety of drinks. I decided to get the Dominican mocha which was made with dark chocolate. It had a rich chocolatey flavor and I could still taste the espresso which is exactly how I like my mochas! For food, we tried their banana bread, strawberry oatmeal muffin, and the egg sausage cheese croissant. All of the food was warmed up and it was delicious! I would get everything again. Scorpion Bay has some leather chairs and a couch to sit at, a booth, and a few high top tables. There's also a table to sit at outside. The employees were all friendly and nice. We loved everything about our visit to Scorpion Bay and look forward to the next time we're in town so we can enjoy some delicious coffee and food!

Tried the chocolate covered pretzel latte and WOW--it was so good!…read more The flavor was perfectly balanced--not overly sweet, but still just right. Sometimes specialty lattes can miss the mark, but this one was honestly one of the best I've had. You can tell they really got it right. I also noticed how clean the location was, and the presentation of the drink was beautiful, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely coming back to try more of their specialty latte

Love Pismo but hadn't been in years. It's turned into a real tourist trap, so I was a little…read moreworried about this place which I discovered on IG. Nearby parking can be tough, even in the paid lots, but we were able to find a place kiddy corner from the store. There was a long line (like it literally stretched next door) but it moved really fast, and you're entertained by getting to see them make the rolls basically from scratch. Seating is outside and is limited, but we lucked out and a table opened as soon as we were getting ready to sit down. Grab a couple extra napkins to wipe the table, because as I mentioned they're very busy so it doesn't seem they get to cleaning the tables often. Nothing gross, but not freshly wiped either. I got the cherry roll. She got the maple bacon. We shared. That cherry roll is one of the best of ANY dessert I've ever had. I almost don't want to leave this review to gatekeep, but yeah, if you're near Pismo, this place is a MUST.

This place was very packed in the afternoon -- the line was out the door but moved really fast. When you walk inside, you get hit by the smell of fresh cinnamon rolls and you can see the workers making it fresh. We ordered the following items: 1. Pecan roll: 9/10 This was sooo delicious. I had expected the cinnamon rolls to be better but this was actually the highlight. The dough was flakier and softer than the cinnamon roll and the fresh pecans were so delicious. It wasn't too sweet which I appreciate. 2. Cinnamon roll: 6/10 This was pretty good but I expected more cinnamon flavor in the dough so I was a bit disappointed. The dough was a bit harder as well and it wasn't too sweet, maybe the one with cream cheese frosting would taste better. Overall, this was super delicious and worth it. Portions were huge and it's quite filling.

The perfect spot to do some work on your laptop or meet a friend for coffee and food. Their coffee is absolutely delicious and they have a good variety of breakfast and lunch options. I highly recommend their iced lattes, smoothies, and croissant / breakfast sandwiches! Service is always friendly and can be a tad slower sometimes, but generally expected in the generally quieter, sleepy town of Shell Beach (except during the busy summer months). Overall, the atmosphere and vibe of Steaming Bean is just perfection. I love this place!

The donuts are on the sweeter side, but very tasty.

When I arrived on a Monday evening, I was surprised by how long the line was to order. What impressed me even more was how quickly the staff moved everyone through and got food out. They clearly know what they're doing. The clam chowder absolutely lived up to the hype. It was rich, creamy, and packed with flavor. Honestly, just writing this review makes me crave another bowl. My mom ordered the lobster roll, and we were impressed by how generous they were with the lobster. Another nice bonus is that they offer daily specials, giving you even more reasons to come back and try something new. Overall, I highly recommend Splash Cafe and would consider it a must-visit spot when exploring SLO County.
