    Matcha
    Till W.

    Great matcha here! Parking can be a little intimidating, but as long as you're not parking in the architecture parking area, I think you are okay for parking in most spaces for getting a drink at Kaffeine. The service was great! I had a quick meeting here and I sat inside. Because the place was so quiet, even though there were just 6 other people inside, they were pretty much listening to our conversation loud and clear. It couldn't be helped.

    The people were super friendly! I honestly liked this place a lot. It has very cozy and welcoming vibes. The mango sticky rice matcha was tasty. The coffee was solid. I'm happy she told me it was on the sweet side, so I could get it half sweet.

    Lotus mango, white lotus

    I visited SLO for work and I came in for the lotus. I heard this place was good, and gave it a try. First coming in the staff was very friendly and welcoming. It didn't take long to get my drinks. I love the little "self serve" station of lids, straw, etc. I couldn't decide between the 2 so I ordered both. They are both really good. I had to stir the mango for a bit but it ended up being my favorite. Definitely recommended, both the white lotus and the mango with the coconut milk foam This seems to be a chill place for locals as some were playing card games and some were doing work on the computer. Clean place as well!

    GET THE DOUBLE MATCHA CLOUD LATTE IT IS SO GOOD!!! One of my fav matcha drinks that I've ever had, perfectly lightly sweetened with a great matcha flavor. The cloud foam on top adds the perfect creaminess to the drink and was so refreshing on a sunny morning. All our drinks came out quick and the girls up front were so nice and helpful with suggestions. I cannot wait to be back the next time I'm in SLO :)

    White Forest Mocha Latte
    Lorean W.

    The last time I was in town, Kaffein was a different coffee shop, but I'm nothing if not a creature of habit. Once I realized the space was still a coffee shop, I was more than happy to check it out! And it is just as nice! The service is warm and personable, it's bright and airy inside and the menu isn't overwhelming. I got the White Forest Mocha Latte and it was so delicious! I'll definitely be back the next time in town. Cheers!

    White first mocha latte , blended caramel latte, and blueberry muffin

    I absolutely loved the vibe of this coffee shop. Adorable decor inside, and I love their logo! Very clean store with plenty of seating indoor and outside. Service was very friendly and coffee was made with care. I asked the cashier what latte I should get and she suggested the white forest mocha latte, which was white chocolate and cherry flavored. It was so good! I got it iced and the flavor combo was something I've never tried before and it was so yummy. My friend got the blended caramel latte and she said it was outrageously good. I tied it, it was too sweet for me but I'm Guessing that's the point. We shared the blueberry muffin and it was so soft and sweet, tasted homemade. Will definitely come back when I'm in town!

    I stopped by during my visit to slo, and it was overall a good experience. The coffee itself didn't have any wow factors. However, I appreciate the energy of the shop (indoor/outdoor type of seating) which made the entire place super open and inviting. I liked the general theme of it being a "healthy" option. Overall, super cute and I recommend visiting for the aesthetic and environment!!

    Two days in SLO meant 2 days at Kaffein. This little quaint restaurant was perfect for our coffee mornings. I had the scones on both days and I absolutely enjoyed it: Both medium and dark roast coffee were also very good. Outside seating is a plus especially if the inside is crowded.

    Kaffein offers one of the better matchas in Slo. I really liked that the cups were small, it's the right amount to get a little caffeine in. My drink could've been stronger in matcha flavor, but the blueberry flavor was there. There's plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. The worker was very nice and friendly! ig: @cravingswithcat

    Mango Sticky Rice Matcha
    Adalie D.

    Service very friendly, matcha delicious, cute atmosphere and location! Only con is that it's a little pricey and can take a little for your drink to come out, but quality is so worth it in my opinion! Will definitely be back when in SLO! :)

    strawberry matcha
    Celina T.

    Great service: kudos to the server who suggested the strawberry matcha drink. Loved working here in the patio. Even after cafe hours, they allowed me and my friend to stay and use their patio/wifi to finish up our work for the day.

    Nice coffee shop, was walking by and decided to try it. Inside is spacious and clean, I can see this being popular with uni students. Was over the break so it was pretty quiet. Got the Al-natural latte which was good and reasonably priced. Will go back if in the area again!

    strawberry matcha
    Acira M.

    The regular matcha latte was grainy and honestly tasted like straight milk. I was a little skeptical to try the blueberry lavender pomegranate one but the pomegranate wasn't really prominent. The matcha in that one and the strawberry was much better quality than the regular matcha latte. However, the strawberry milk overpowered the flavor of the matcha and was very sweet. Would definitely order the coffee next time instead.

    Nice outdoor patio.

    Visited Scout twice in one weekend while in SLO because the coffee was that good. 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!

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!

When I travel, I love finding a café that has an alternative vibe, friendly staff, really good coffee, really good food, and a vibe that says, "Hey--you bought an espresso like 5 hours ago. Stay as long as you want!" In other words, it's not a snobby café. It's real. It's authentic. I love it. But it's almost impossible to just get an espresso and leave it at that. The breakfast burritos here are just that good. I strongly recommend the soyrizo breakfast burrito with avocado. They have the recipe down to perfection. You have to travel 20 minutes out of town for anything that comes close. I will be honest here: they do charge a lot for their breakfast burrito... they know what it's worth, unfortunately, and they're going to charge you for it (and the prime downtown location). They also charge a very high credit card processing fee--it's more than any kickback a credit card rewards program would give back--so if you have cash, use that. It's cheaper. Their coffee is very good. You're splitting hairs here when trying to find better coffee, but if you're looking for the best breakfast burrito in San Luis Obispo, this is it. Trust me now, thank me later.

This is how we came to know about her and her shop, as we made a special pit stop to visit Breda in downtown SLO on the way home from a SoCal trip. The Good: * More than just desserts, as they also offer afternoon tea services, as well as a curated selection of savory foods like pizza, salads, and sandwiches. * Afternoon tea reservations are available via OpenTable. * We just came in to grab some of her beautiful monoportions which were featured on the show, and they did not disappoint. They were absolutely stunning and looked surreal. * I didn't try the mango one, but my son said it was delicious, so I'll take his word for it. * The raspberry monoportion was as delicious as it was fantastic. I am sad it fell apart on the four-hour trip home to SJ from SLO before I could fully capture its beauty. The Meh: * Street parking only. * Service was OK but nothing noteworthy. * The peanut monoportion was just OK. The peanut flavor was a bit muted for our liking. The Ugly: * Prices are available online, but nothing was marked in the store, which is one of my pet peeves. Conclusion: Probably 3.5 stars, but rounded up because we were really only in and out and didn't try enough.
