I can't say enough good things about SLO Delicious Bakery in San Luis Obispo! We ordered a cake for…read morea special celebration, and it completely exceeded our expectations. Chef Gonzalo made us an almond cake with mixed berries and whipped cream frosting, and it was absolutely incredible. He even incorporated marzipan into the batter--yet the cake still came out so light and fluffy! The flavor was rich, subtle, and totally unforgettable. The decoration was simple, elegant, and exactly what we hoped for. I provided the flowers I wanted, and Chef Gonzalo arranged them beautifully. Guests at our party couldn't stop talking about the cake! Even people who usually don't like cake came up to say how amazing it was. It truly became the highlight of the evening. If you're looking for a bakery that puts care, creativity, and flavor into every bite--this is it. Highly recommend!

They let us sampled different kind of cream that they use for their cake so we know the sweetness level. After tasting their delicious strawberry cupcake and vanilla cheesecake we ordered a bday cake from them. Hopefully it will turn out good. Their pastry is also good. Love the decor and cozy vibe of the baked shop. We just moved to the area so we will def explore the area more.

Love the bright and open interior with their wall decor...very photo worthy! Plenty of merch for purchase as well. The ladies were very welcoming and friendly!

Everything was delightful and their coffee really hit the spot, which was much needed and appreciated. Will definitely come back here again while visiting Tin City. CHEERS till next time!

The display case allows easy viewing and all the pastries are especially appealing to the eye. Upon tasting this beautiful raspberry pastry, I knew from bite one we were in for a treat! Buttery layers of pastry, filled with a rich but light cream custard filling, dotted with fresh raspberries. The pastry had a wonderfully crunchy sugar encrusted bite that played perfectly with the cream interior! Absolutely wonderful! Needless to say, we might have time got a revisit tomorrow!!! highly recommended! This is a family owned shop with the husband baker and wife behind the counter. Wonderful shop.

It was even…read morebetter that it was in walking distance from the house and my boyfriend and I could walk our dog with a cup of coffee! Both times I got a hot vanilla bean latte with two extra shots and it was perfection. Literally no complaints. My boyfriend got an iced americano the first day and tried a hot golden mylk on the second day. He also enjoyed his drinks! The golden mylk is a perfect cold day drink that will make you feel warm and cozy inside. We also had the chance to try their pastries and got an almond croissant with jelly and a goat cheese and roasted leak scone. Im not the biggest fan of jelly filled pastries, but this one was actually really good. It paired well with the crispy exterior and not too sweet. I really enjoyed it! The goat cheese and roasted leak definitely had complimenting flavors, but it wasn't his favorite scone he has. He wished there was more goat cheese versus it just being on top. When is SLO, I will be back!

A family-owned spot serving the Golden State since 2014, where I found the writing on the wall:…read moreWORK HARD & BE NICE TO PEOPLE. Their house-brand HONEYCO is paying above fair-trade prices for beans & using a proprietary roasting process to create some clever blends like MATTE BLACK DARK ROAST and the delicious for everyday CLASSIC ESPRESSO (freshly ground for in-house coffee drinks, along with a water-processed DECAF). Choose your favorite + original housemaid syrups (WILDERNESS w citrus, maple; SUNSHINE w citrus, cinnamon; UNITY w lavender, honey). When rating this high, I'm considering food (pastries) in addition to coffee/practices and service/ambiance, and this spot knocks it out of the park on all counts. The CORTADO (coffee-forward) is medium-roast, savory & balanced. A LAVENDER LATTE is gently floral, not too sweet, still coffee-focused. The CAPPUCCINO is comforting, a prime American version of the classic. Pastries go quickly, and I'm coming back time after time for the DARK CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY SCONE - large hunks of chocolate with tart raspberry in a doughy scone, crowned in rock sugar. They're also serving a signature SCOUT COOKIE - like the Doubletree recipe (warmed on request). It's an absolute DESTINATION location with light, bright workspace indoors, lots of tables outdoors (78% chance of sun, any day of the year here!). They have 3 locations total, although Gianna, Andrés, and Mya are friendly faces to make returning to SLO my preference. Like most of their peers, you can enjoy it here, pick-up, or ship by subscription. They also have some very cool HATS and 10% off BOOKS while they last!

I'm here for their world-famous Pink Champagne Cake, made of light white cake layers,…read morealmond-flavored Bavarian cream, and hot-pink white chocolate curls. This cake is so nostalgic for me and never pass up the opportunity to stop in for a slice or a full sized cake. This occasion was a 6 inch pink champagne cake, for my mother's birthday. I conveniently pre-ordered the cake on-line and it was ready when I got there. This caked must be refrigerated due to the cream and chocolate. We also ordered a 6-inch Toffee Crunch Cake. A moist white cake layered with whipped cream and covered in large, crunchy toffee pieces. This cake is also to die for. And must also be refrigerated. The bakery ambiance is casual. If you stop in, check out both gift shops. Plenty of free parking.

Bought one of the triple berry pies and apple crisps to try and they were delicious! The filling for the berry pie was really good slightly tart and sweet. If you like pie crust, the crust was well done too- flaky and crisp. The apple crisp was soooo good- the topping was really tasty and the filling was delicious. I'd go back to try their other pies and hand pies. Feeding the sheep, cow, goats and llamas $3 a head lettuce was so fun! The animals loooove eating the lettuce and it's an enjoyable experience for kids and adults alike. The fields with bales of hay to climb and pose on and also the flower fields to walk around in was also nice too! There was a hay ride, but we were not able to make it-- maybe next time. The food was just mediocre. The pulled pork sandwich had too much sauce on it and it was hard to eat because the bread just fell apart. I wish there were a little more coleslaw on top because it cut the sweetness of the sauce. Would not order again. The tritip sandwich was just okay- lots of thinly sliced meat, but flavor was just alright. Would not order again. The plain hotdog was actually pretty good- it was a big hotdog. Would probably order again for my kid haha. The highlight of the meal was the Brussels sprouts (no pecans and subbed Parmesan for the bleu cheese)! Nicely roasted and seasoned. Definitely would order again! The strawberry lemonade and the oallaberry lemonade were really good- not too sweet and very fruity. Definitely would order again Would definitely come back to spend a couple of hours here!

As with any Pismo Beach business in the downtown area, your experience with crowds will vary depending on if you go on a weekday or weekend. The shop will be notably bustle-filled with lines if you go during the hot days of Friday through Sunday.

More like room temperature but absolutely satisfying. More on the bread side rather than cake like. Reasonable for the value at five dollars each. There were three tables out front and a bench at their side parking lot as far as seating. Known for the long lines but non-existent for me on a week day. Appreciate how different in comparison to others. Would certainly make a return.
