Cute former automotive shop repurposed to a coffee shop with pastries and iced or hot coffees. Some seating inside and out, dog friendly with a little shop on the side. A bit of parking in the lot or street metered parking. Staff was friendly and helpful answering questions and making suggestions, we will definitely be back! read more

Tried this coffee shop this morning w/ my coworker and we ordered the maple and smoked sea salt. The espresso beans were good but the maple and smoked sea salt was very underwhelming. I have to say the staff was really polite and would make me want to try it again if I'm ever in the area. read more

The barista took less than 30 seconds to make my matcha and she handed it to me all chunky. At first I didn't mind but then saw all these influencers have a perfect matcha so I'm very disappointed. I know it only take a few mins to make a matcha but she could've at least pretended to take longer at the very least. Very lazy work!! I know it's 5:30 but that really sad my matcha wasn't mixed in the slightest. Had to mix for a minute myself Cute place though read more

Quite disappointed. Waited in line for 20 minutes only to find they were out of cream cheese. Ordered two bagels with butter and a cappuccino. Waited another 25 minutes for the coffee and was told it would take another 10-20 minutes for the bagels. Could wait no longer and left hangry. I mean really... just send someone to the store to buy some cream cheese. How long does it take to toast 2 bagels? Cappuccino was good (not great) read more

Field Day Coffee might be the best place to grab coffee, tea, or any refreshment at. First of all, their space is huge. Lots of seating available and the aesthetic of everything is very nice and calming. Second of all, the prices of their drinks are so affordable and reasonable. Third of all, the taste of their drinks is done well! Matcha: 3/5 Hojicha: 4.5/5 Chai: 3.5/5 (added more sweetener) Hot Chocolate: 3.5/5 (added more sweetener) read more

Went to SLO for a summit/girly pop road trip, which calls for starting our mornings with exploring a good coffee shop. Field Day Coffee will live rent-free on my saved places for coffee shops in SLO. DRINKS: 9/10 SERVICE: 9/10 AMBIANCE: 9/10 DRINKS: 9/10 When I first tried their latte, I was quite impressed. The coffee has a strong, rich depth that's perfectly balanced, smooth, bold, and not overpowering. Everything tastes clean and intentional, with no artificial flavors or excessive sweetness. I do wish they offered a few more latte flavor options because I truly love the quality of their coffee and would love to experience it in different ways. I didn't get to try their food/baked goods. I did want to try their avocado toast, but they ran out. SERVICE: 9/10 The staff were very chill and friendly! You can tell they like to vibe out with the customers. What I appreciated the most was that the barista realized I asked for oatmilk, so he willingly switched up the drink without me having to say anything. We love baristas who pay attention to details! AMBIANCE: 9/10 I really love the ambiance here. It's cozy, relaxed, and thoughtfully designed, a great place to enjoy your coffee and unwind. There is a great mix of indoor and outdoor seating. Parking is available, but limited to just a few spots. read more

We were in the area and found this place on yelp. There's a small parking lot. The place is super cute and open. The girl who took our order was gorgeous and very helpful. We ordered two lattes they were amazing. There is a lot of seating indoor and outdoor. This place was pet friendly. The coffee was really smooth . We have a really good experience. read more

We were on a weekend trip here and this was our favorite cafe we went to in SLO. We went on a Sunday for the house made bagels and it was pretty busy around 10am. The shop itself was super cute and had plenty of seating for students/patrons. It's also dog friendly! We ordered two matchas (Field day: lavender, rose hips & a regular matcha) as well as two bagels with cream cheese. The matcha was delicious here and I enjoyed the lavender/flowery flavor. The bagels were really good as well - chewy on the inside and a little crispy on the outside. Our only regret was not trying the pastries - they looked so good! Would definitely recommend this cafe if you're in the area! read more

Field Day Coffee - iced whole milk matcha with 1/2 sweet vanilla syrup 5/5 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

Oooo what's not to love about this spot. The gluten free baked good are some of the best. I'm always after the cookie.

My hot matcha was so good. It was bitter sweet i used sea salt maple and skim milk. They offer a few option to make your drink healthier. My company got iced matcha with oatmilk and honey. Open interior and it is an inviting area to hang out. It took us a few minutes (like about 30) to get our orders... service was not slow but they probably need more people. We got there at around 2:30pm, there were a few people who ordered before us snd there were only 2 staff. One was focused on making the drinks and the other was getting orders and helping with making the drinks. read more

See that line out the door? It's not for nothing! The espresso here is the best! And, don't skip the kouign-amann, it is crave worthy!

I took a trip to here with some friends. We were celebrating post passion project. We all got something different, but it's our differences that bring us together. . The venue is fairly large and spacious with a rustic warehouse aesthetic. There's indoor and outdoor seating available, weather permitting/ It was sunny and slightly chilly so I opted for a hot beverage. If you know me, I love a matcha with vanilla and oat milk. The other two drinks are definitely lattes with maple and honey cinnamon, respectively. What I love most about field day is they always take the time to do latte art and I love to see it! . This spot is a gem complete with parking, wood benches in and outside and several small tables for two. It's also great for communal coffee drinking. Find book worms, writers and study gurus alike in this neighborhood favorite. And make sure to try some of their pastries too. read more

Hip place downtown with great coffee. Very popular so be prepared for a short wait especially on weekends. Indoor and some outdoor seating. Limited food options (pastries) with decent. Umber of vegan options. read more

Yummy matcha and friendly service! I ordered at the kiosk on the side, but the baristas here are quite fast. The aesthetics here are really nice with open air seating. You can tell that this is meant to be a study spot because of how quiet it is. Cal Poly students are so lucky to have a lovely shop like this. My matcha was made well and wasn't watery. Yippee read more

Waited 20 minutes for one singular bagel I didn't even like. Came here early to beat the crowd and still waited a long time. The bagel was so small too!!! My latte was quick but too milky so I couldn't even taste the smokiness of the beans or espresso period. I don't get the hype with this place other than the fact that it's aesthetic inside and the people that work there have an "indie" vibe... read more

Field Day Coffee - Bagel - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

One of our favorite coffee spots all of SLO proper, bar none. Their homemade smoked sea salt maple syrup is one of the better latte syrups I've had We also love heading here for their once a week Bagel Sundays (they're incredible and significantly better than HoBags - get there early) and for the nice selection of pastries they carry. Field Day is right up there with Scout/Tiny Cafe/Twenty South/Lucy's as one of the very best coffee shops in the county. While they make great coffee - the location is a bit closer to CP campus than I'd ideally prefer which can make parking and spacing within their location a bit tricky. Not a coffee shop that's as conducive to working at like Nautical Bean, Kruzeberg, and Coastal Peaks are. Still a gem in this county and a solid 5 stars for the amazing coffee and bites. They also have a general store + bottle shop by the same owners to the left and right of this parcel. read more

Field day has the most delicious matcha in slo and the kindest employees. The cafe has plenty of space to get work done or spend time with friends and family. Really versatile space. If you come early enough they have a selection of delicious pastries. Overall a wonderful experience. They have parking as well, although it is limited, but much appreciated nonetheless. read more

In SLO on vacay. Dropped in for a latte and pour over (I got the Colombia). It was later in the day so the pastry case was empty but that's always a good sign. The service was good, ambience standard --wooden benches and metal stools -- not the comfiest coffee shop you'll see but there were several people working on their laptops so it must not be too bad. The coffee was solid, but nothing in particular to rave about. The outdoor seating is nice, especially if you're looking to take advantage of a nice sunny day, and there's a beer and wine spot next door in case you decide "well hey, I'm here anyway." Try it or diet? Try it. There are lots of options in SLO so why not try them all and make it a caffeine contest for funsies. read more

FIELD DAY COFFEE did not miss! Their shop is super cute with a bright open seating area and cute plant decor. The staff were super kind and helpful in recommending drinks for first timers to the shop. We got the cinnamon honey matcha and it was DELICIOUS! The Hojicha latte was also good, but definitely a little earthy in taste! We did also grab the avocado toast to go (not pictured). They package it unassembled which we appreciated because we were able to use the bread to dip into the avocado topping. The bread is so fresh and crunchy and the avocado with the pesto and seasonings was TO DIE FOR! Check them out!!! read more

Super surprised by how much I like this place! My boyfriend and I stopped off in SLO on our road trip south. I've had some good matcha in OC and SD so I didn't think this place would compare, but they have some really good matcha! We visited on a sunday morning and it was very busy-- took 15 minutes to order. The shop is cute and shares the building with a cool consignment shop. Lots of seating inside and outside. Very clean. We ordered an iced matcha latte and iced hojicha latte. Both were super good--not grainy, not too milky, not too sweet. I'd recommend this place! read more

I loved the vibe here and the coffee smells so good, but the drip coffee tasted a little off today. Maybe it was a bad batch? I ordered a latte and my husband ordered a drip coffee. His was a little hotter than mine so we walked back to our hotel while waiting for it to cool. My latte was phenomenal but when my husband tried his, it was very bitter and sour, not like any coffee we've had before. I tried it myself and it was very sour and acidic, which was disappointing. We had to check out of our hotel, so unfortunately we didn't have time to go back and have a redo and ended up throwing it away. Overall great espresso! I loved my drink. But I would recommend trying yours before leaving to make sure it's good to go. read more

Field Day Coffee - Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

Batched matcha?!?!???? Whyyyy??? My vanilla matcha tasted like milk with a few hints of grass here and there. It takes literal seconds to whisk matcha and make a better drink than premixing your matcha. If you have something on your menu in which you are charging people for, I believe it should be somewhat decent. Glad it was only $6 because any more expensive and I would have been even more upset. The shop is very cute with lots of seating both inside and out. The service was fine and helpful. Wouldn't be back, although, I'm sure their coffees have to be better than the matcha. read more

Yelp Review - Field Day Coffee I wanted to love this place but sadly, they dropped the ball. My partner and I came in from out of town and I went in for a coffee and a tea on our way to a late morning wedding. The shop was light and airy and seemed to have a good open vibe. It was dog-friendly, which is always a good sign. We ordered our drinks (Black coffee and Earl Grey Tea) and the barista suggested a bagel with avocado, and I enthusiastically said yes! My partner also ordered the banana bread. The barista was working the register and there were two others making drinks and serving pastries and bagels behind her working the pickup counter. We waited for our name to be called and a few minutes later my coffee and the banana bread were ready but not my partner's tea nor my bagel. My coffee was burnt as if it had been left on heat for much longer than necessary which was very surprising given the amount of people who were enjoying theirs and that clearly, the coffee was being brewed constantly and served to dozens. I struggled to drink the burnt coffee but hesitated to ask for a new cup as the three baristas were pretty busy and I really just wanted that bagel and avocado. My partnering nibbled at her banana bread (also, pretty good) without her tea while I set the coffee aside. So we must have beat the rush because now there was a line out the door - 11 minutes later the tea was ready but not the bagel. The tea was pretty good. After 22 minutes without a bagel we left.Look, I get it, there was a line out the door, but this was after we had ordered and yes, they were busy, but hear me out: Fill the orders as they come in. I feel as though subsequent drink orders took precedence over filling our complete order, which included brewing tea and heating up a bagel and slicing an avocado. Burnt coffee, delayed tea, and unable to serve a bagel in 22 minutes. Good vibe, dog-friendly, nice open space, good vibe and good people - but would not recommend unless you are a local with a dog and need only a coffee. read more

We were in town for a wedding and we love supporting local businesses whenever in new areas. I got the honey brown cinnamon iced latte and my fiancé got the matcha latte. Both were really good! There was a line but it was worth waiting for. read more

Field Day Coffee - Delightful way to start a Saturday. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

A gem of a coffee shop in SLO! I audibly gasped when I saw how cute it was lol. Field Day perfectly embodies what people want in a local coffee shop -- chill vibes and great coffee in a bright, airy, and spacious setting. I personally love the open space concept, but can see how it could be problematic on a cold/windy day if you're trying to get work done. Ordered a matcha latte with oat milk and it was perfectly concocted with the right level of sweetness. Parking lot is fairly spacious, but if you're out of luck, there's metered street parking. Seriously such a cool spot and cozy place to gather. A must if you're in the area! read more

Came to this place for lattes. Great location and hangout spot. Definitely want to swing by for the adult beverages. Lattes were solid.

One of my favorites in slo! I love the garage aesthetic of Field Day and the coffee is delicious as well! There are tables inside to do work and chat with friends. I usually go early in the morning so it's not too busy. I enjoy their mocha latte but I hear the maple latte is also great. I don't think you can go wrong with any of their coffees but I find the matcha not as great. Can't wait to try more of their drinks! read more

This place made me love matcha. I got their iced matcha with their speciality syrup called garden party which is made up of floral type notes. It was so silky and refreshing. Also love their space, indoor blends into the outdoor so you get fresh air and sun. There were quite a few tables and I saw some people working on their laptops!
