    Cute sidewalk chalk art!
    Cynthia C.

    Sometimes when your road trippin' a simple Scooby Snack is all you need. Hubs was hungry, I was not. Enter Fosters, a So Cal staple since 1946! Every once and again a Fosters will appear on our radar and be the perfect solution to a hungry question. Instantly we can recall the first time we saw a Fosters employee take a soft serve vanilla cone, turn in upside down and plunge it in to a vat of melted chocolate before presenting you with your first "chocolate dipped cone". Magic! We now see another sort of magic happening as these long held traditional burger joints start fading away. Each Fosters tries to bring its own personality into the mix and it can turn into something special, as it has with this Morro Bay location. We arrived, parked at the curb outside and immediately noticed the sidewalk chalk art. Arrows individually drawn with Fosters treats and playful characters in bright colors, directing customers to the order window and a hopscotch for playing whilst you await your treats! The dining room also looks newer compared to other Fosters we've seen, and its cleanliness was very inviting. Hubs ordered 2 hot dogs and a small Pepsi. Simple. $11.77 TL. While, that made the small(aka baby sized 6oz, maybe?) Pepsi a whopping $3, it was a cheap, simple and delicious enough meal for him to be satisfied. In Morro Bay, along the Embarcadero, we later noticed a walk up window charging $7 for a single hot dog. While eating, we noticed a dad & daughter sit down with their food. Shortly after, she knocked over her Dr. Pepper. Dad jumped to ask for paper towels to clean, but staff came out promptly, cleaned it up and replaced her drink. Noice! Note: no refills on sodas is offered, but that's no reason to punish a kid that already feels bad. Well done, staff! Everyone worked fast and efficiently and the place had personality! Lots of options for eats and treats if you enjoy convenience foods. Even some swag to purchase I understand that are well known for their burgers and fries but, thanks to another Yelper's photo, I juuust may come back and try their limited time offering of Triple Berry Cheesecake Twister. There may not be one single real berry in the dessert, but all that delicious sugar sure looks tempting! LOL Cheers! "CC"

    Food hot and fast Service awesome Register gal such a sweet heart There was a little line when we showed up, but it went fast. There was hopscotch out on the sidewalk while we were waiting in line. We have our food inside where it was warmer.

    Who doesn't love Fosters Freeze? I know I do. There is a reason that there is often a line waiting to order. This is some of the best ice cream around. My wife and I will often drive the 30 miles from Paso Robles just to come and enjoy the great cold treats! It may be a bit on the pricey side but, it's worth it! On a nice day, you usually want to sit a one of the tables outside. The inside dining area is nice too. The whole place can definitely get crowded on those busy, warm days! Just be prepared to wait. They will run out of some options on busy days too. But, it's always worth the wait to get yourself a great, delicious treat!

    Fun fact: The Fosters Freeze franchise in Hawthorne, California is known to be the hamburger joint, where Beach Boys band member Dennis Wilson saw the girl in the Thunderbird he sang about in his song titled "Fun, Fun, Fun". Fosters Freeze serves soft serve ice cream cones and many different soft serve desserts. The menu is expanded with made-to-order hamburgers, fries, and other freshly prepared food items available. We like their corndogs, which are always cooked to a nice, golden color with a moist plump hotdog inside. Their french fries are crisp on the outside and pillowy soft on the inside. One star deduction for their cones and sundaes that we've ordered, as they tend to be small at their price point. There is inside seating with a few tables outside. The inside is always clean, and the friendly and helpful employees seem to work as a team.

    A hot delicious old fashioned hamburger.

    Food was delicious. Just wanted a good old fashioned hamburger. I visit MB often and would usually go with Thai or a Fish Place but today just needed some "comfort" food. My burger was perfectly cooked and loaded with a fresh tomato & lettuce. Nice slices of pickles too! French fries were Excellent. Crispy on the outside & piping hot & soft on the inside. A root beer finished off a perfect lunch! The service was friendly and good. The restaurant was clean & bathrooms were "sparkling ". I drove down for a view of the rock. Great lunch, great view.

So I went into the Smoothies place to check it out, oh and write a review as I wait. Cozy as it gets with the friendly staff, actually looked like they enjoy the job and human interactions. I asked for a Mango something smoothie but no pineapple, be creative. The place has a good variety of drinks and edibles, sandwiches, salads, avocado toast, and on and on. If you don't see it they would probably make it for you. Now granted I was the only order being made at this moment and my smoothie was delivered to me as I sat at the bistro table out front. I was surprised how flavorful the smoothie was, I don't know why I thought that but it did taste good, a bit pricy. I'm good with pricy and this was backed up with quality ingredients and stellar service. Ah...yes and supporting local business is good for everyone Thanks, I'll see you again! Foodguy-Martin

We were lucky enough to snag the last almond croissant, and what a treat it was. The exterior had a sweet, delicate crunch, and with each bite, rich almond filling oozed out for the perfect balance of texture and flavor. It wasn't overloaded with powdered sugar, and the sweetness was just right--indulgent without being overwhelming. I also tried a slice of the salmon and leek quiche. It was light and fluffy while still feeling substantial and satisfying. The combination of savory salmon and sweet leek worked beautifully together. Whether you're starting your morning or looking for a midday pick-me-up, the quiche is a must-try. I was excited to try the house made mango-infused black iced tea, but unfortunately, there was nothing mango flavored about it That said, this bakery is still well worth a visit. Between the pastries and quiche, it is an easy stop to recommend when you're in Morro Bay.

I purchased the pain au levain, in lieu of a baguette, for $12. The price is pretty steep for a loaf, but seems to be the going rate for these smaller boutique bake shops. The bread itself was warm when I purchased it, which was awesome. Enjoyed it with my coffee, but did find it to be a little doughy on the inside. Good flavor, but not something I would come back for. I'd rate it a solid 3.5. I also purchased the chocolate chip cookies. I think I completely went brain dead when I bought these, because I did read they were gluten-free and vegan, but still bought the pack of 6. Man, they looked like chocolate chip cookies, but didn't taste like chocolate to me, at all. For a regular chocolate chip cookie lover, it's a 1 star. For someone looking for a gluten-free and vegan cookie, this could be a winner. Maybe.

    Hello! You had me at absolutely charming!…read more First of all, I've never been to Morro Bay and it was probably the only torrential rainy day in a Century. Being from Seattle, I'm nothing but used to the rain. But this little visit to the bakery warmed my heart. As we drove to the bakery we stopped at Morro Rock, , so I could actually see the amazing 23 million year old monolith. So fun to see the surfers out there! As we started driving into a neighborhood to get to the basket, I was like, "What? Am I going to Gramma's house?" And then, we pull into the freaking cutest little beach house with a garden that made the bleakest day make you feel like sunshine and rainbows. Upon entry, the baked spices and smells blow your olfactories! Yummm! We felt the young lady was very overwhelmed with all the baking!! And maybe our dumbfoundedness was overwhelming. Or maybe I was overwhelmed with so many amazing options and goodies!! She had just pulled something out of the oven. We ordered lemon curd and raspberry tarts, brownies, curry croissants, ham and cheese croissant, french onion soup croissant and some other cookie that someone snuck in on the sly. Sadly, there was no seating there, so we had to take everything to go. Luckily we were only 10 min away. Everything was epically delicious. Especially the flaky curry croissants!!!! They really know how to do it!!! If we had more time we would try their bread. I can't imagine what this place is like when it's peak season but it must be crazy! It is a must visit!!!
