We ordered a few scoops. I got the orange cream sickle cone, and it was pretty freaking amazing with my childhood favorite green tea. My fiancé got a red velvet cake cone with butter, pecan ice cream. We are adults so we had ice cream for dinner.

The Ice Cream The…read moreIce Cream itself was all just generic brands like Deyers and Thrifty (See Image 1). Flavors were nothing special, the most extravagant flavors were their few sherbets which looked very colorful, not in the naturals way. Prices are semi normal. The Service The Service was a bit disappointing. We were limited to 1 sample per person and had to practically beg for their attention. Overall, not the best but, oh well. The Look and Atmosphere of the Shop The Shop was quite small, a bit dirty but it's a little shop, what can we expect (see image 2). There was no seating except some hard wooden benches without a table to eat or anything. There really weren't much to-go options either. It was really uncomfortable to just sit in there wi the out any tables or anything even padding on the seats.

Steaming Bean is such an adorable little coffee spot in Shell Beach. Their outdoor patio areas are…read morea big selling point; the lower one is expansive and has a large lounge area with comfortable seating, and the upper patio has various tables and beautiful ocean views - so relaxing! 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!

I cannot say enough nice things about this restaurant. My friend was talking about it and made it…read moresound so delicious, I just had to try it for myself. It is such a quiet, nice little place that is perfect for a lunch or juice date. I usually get the lunch trio: green goddess avocado toast, golden beet salad and the coconut lentil soup. The food is so delicious, flavorful, nutritious, and sooo tasty. I have tried several juices and smoothies and they were all amazing. Everything is made from scratch. The citrus dressing is out of this world.

Actually, it's NOT really yogurt. Our chocolate frozen yogurt tasted spoiled like the milk was sour…read moreand the cones we got it in were stale. The containers holding the toppings look like they are from 1982. Kind of dirty and nasty. Needs a good deep clean.

Oh my goodness! How have we missed this gem three years in a row?!…read more House/dog sitting in Arroyo Grande for a month and heard about this place from the property caretaker. Sure wish we'd know sooner, but so glad to have found it now. This store is like a cross between TJ's and Whole Foods with a huge assortment of prepared foods and fair pricing. We went there three times in 2 weeks and loaded up on goodies such as take 'n' bake pizza, chili, and OF COURSE the clam chowder. We also hit the bakery pretty hard and thoroughly enjoyed the berry cobbler, along with a few other sweet treats. Location is easy to find, plenty of parking and service very friendly. Can't wait to go back.

Nice local grocery store that la not part of the big 3 (Kroger/Ralphs/Food4less,…read morePavilions/Vons/Albertsons, and Superior). But their groceries and products are definitely pricier compared to big 3. Black plus size female cashier was nice and friendly. I don't know her name.

I've tried their esquite, mangonada, and horchata. The horchata was very yummy and tasted like it…read morewas made in house. The staff are fairly average, they greet customers and provide service relatively quickly. The prices are on the higher side, and I can see how a visit for desserts with the whole family could become quite expensive. Another drawback is the limited sizing options. For example, their drinks are only available in a large size, which may not appeal to everyone. I'm also not a fan of dining inside. There's something about the color scheme and overall atmosphere that makes the space feel less inviting and not particularly appealing for eating in.

We got two smoothies from here and it tasted quite good. The pineapple aloha smoothie was good and…read morewas based with greek yogurt. We also got the peanut butter smoothie. That one tasted more like a fusion of a milkshake and a smoothie, it was heavier, creamier, and more fluffy. It was good but definitely different than we expected. I think my problem overall was the artificial taste. These smoothies definitely have a bit of an artificial taste. I don't know if they're using fresh produce or using powders/juices but it tasted a bit off in general.
