Stopped by for a quick coffee and ended up finding one of my new favorite chocolate croissants! I ordered a vanilla iced latte--it had a nice, smooth flavor and was pretty solid. But the real star was the chocolate croissant. It was incredibly soft, filled with so much rich chocolate (not the usual barely-there filling you sometimes get). Every bite was perfectly chocolatey and honestly exceeded my expectations. As someone who loves chocolate croissants, this one definitely stands out as one of my favorites. I'll absolutely be coming back for another read more

Two of the best things here: 1) The medialunas, a crescent-shaped roll popular in Argentina. These medialunas are very similar to those we loved in Buenos Aires. 2) The cortados were really good. The employees are friendly, and the ambiance is, well, adequate. I really like this place. read more

Great gem of a coffee/bakery. I ordered (2) ham and cheese croissants, (2) chocolate croissants, a zucchini bread slice, and a vanilla iced matcha. It was insanely busy on July 4th but staff was so sweet and friendly I didn't mind the wait. The matcha was pretty good as well as the zucchini bread. My kids said the croissants were good as well with the ham and cheese loaded with ham. Would definitely come back the next time we are in Pismo again. read more

Customer service was not great. Barista charged for the smaller size when we ordered the large size. We mentioned it and person just shrugged it off because we charged the smaller one. No offer to remake or add more. Mugs are for show so you have to ask for it, even if you ordered pastries and coffees for here? They didn't have enough plates to serve the 3 pastries/sandwiches. That was very odd since it was very early in the morning. Hindsight, I would not have tipped them as much because of our experience. Would not be back. read more

Came across this coffee shop during a trip to Pismo! It's walking distance from a lot of the shops / restaurants near the beach. Drinks were a bit too sweet! I got the White chocolate mocha. Plenty of seating. They also seemed understaffed but our drinks came out fast. read more

Came in for a quick coffee and it was so close to closing time. The staff welcomed me with a smile and didn't make me feel like I needed to be rushed. I got and iced vanilla latte and it was cold, creamy and subtly sweet. I really liked it. Paid $6 for the 16 oz. The place was really clean with white wall and greenery plant aesthetic. Plenty of seating inside. I was visiting from out of town but I'd definitely be back! read more

Located between Pomeroy Ave. and Main St. by the City Public Parking lot on Dolliver St. with plenty of storefront parking and walking distance to the beach. This place had me at "Kortado". Besides coffee and tea, they serve smoothies, Sandos sandwiches, pastries, oatmeal. I went in for a hot 'Latte' and I must admit, that first zip was amazing! Definitely the best Latte any coffee shop has made me so far. The store is clean and has a few tables to sit, chat, and enjoy your treat. Prices are reasonable. Service was great! Friendly and welcoming barista. Overall, I had a pleasant experience here and will definitely return. read more

This was a nice little cafe in Pismo Beach! I wanted a good, light coffee to drink with my cinnamon roll. The waitress was kind to listen and recommend exactly what I wanted. She customized my drink so it wasn't too sweet nor heavy. I got their cold brew with 1 pump of vanila and a splash of oat milk. Tasted great and matched well with sweet dessert. read more

Had the worst iced matcha latte of my life here this morning. Got in the car, took a sip and literally spit it out. It tasted like way too much matcha powder was mixed with hot water and then poured over ice with a splash of milk. Way too much matcha powder, not enough milk and zero sweetener. Threw the whole thing away. read more

After seeing all the excellent reviews, I gave it a shot on a Saturday morning. We arrived at around 9 AM and had to wait a bit. The staff were so nice! I got a Coconut Matcha which tasted like mostly coconut milk. I also got a berry crunchy muffin which was really tasty. The place is a bit on the small side so if you're looking for a place to come and do work, this isn't it. It fills up quickly and you're left awkwardly sitting while other people stand in line next to you. read more

So friendly and fast. The breakfast sandwiches are delicious. We got the egg, bacon, tomato and spinach on ciabatta. They have a ham and cheese croissant sandwich and some lunch style sandwiches. The coffee is great, we had a Dubai chocolate latte and a Irish honey latte, not too sweet and mixed perfectly read more

Was searching for a decent coffee shop in SLO and stumbled upon this place in yelp. They are living up to the reviews. We came here right when they opened and our ordered was taken right away. Heard great reviews on the Medialunas. I grabbed a couple with a hot caramel latte. Order was ready within 5 min since we were firstin line. Medialunas were yum! Also loved my latte. I'd rather have coffee here than Starbucks. read more

Cute little spot in the center of pismo beach! Friendly staff and perfect spot to grab some coffee. Very European feel with the baguette sandwiches and pastries!

Very nice people and tasty food and drinks. Yelp says this review needs to be 85 characters so here we are.

We were walking by, my husband knows I enjoy a good pastry. He noticed this new coffee shop, decided to check it out. I'm not a big coffee house Conniseures but I do enjoy it every now and then. I usually ask whether they enjoy or recommend, the young guy /barista immediately shouted he like the lavender honey latte. Did not disappoint, very good., we shared a coffee cake and got a sandwich to go for later to take to work. (I added avocado) I like supporting small business. It's kinda hidden. Very nice and simple decor, some seating available too. It's where the old subway used to be. read more

Was driving through Pismo and stopped by for some coffee. There was a party of 6 in front of us ordered a few items so it took awhile as the only staff on hand had to make or heat the sandwiches and make their drinks before taking our order. Drinks were ok. Ordered matcha latte, mango smoothie and iced matcha latte. Cute place. read more

I love that all the shops and restaurants at Pismo Beach are local mom and pop type of shops instead of your massive chains. We decided to stop in at Kortado Bakery for breakfast one of the mornings we were here. This place seems to be a relatively new establishment but super warm and cozy inside, with a few tables and seating options. The menu options are standard and they have some pastry selections as well. I wish there was more hot food options but the only thing they had was a ham and cheese croissant. We decided to get a couple of these warmed up as well as two lattes (regular and matcha). The lattes were creamy, hot, and delicious. The croissant itself was nice and flaky, but the inside of the sandwich was unfortunately still cold. The flavors were still good though. read more

Nice people and great coffee! Smoothies are yummy as are the baked goods. Will return when I'm back in town.

Stumbled upon this coffee shop while we were on the hunt for bagels. They didn't have any when we came in, but the barista was so nice that we decided to order something anyway. Super friendly and quick service! We really enjoyed our chai latte. It was perfectly sweet and the milk was nice and foamy. We also ordered the ham and swiss croissant which was a big hit. They bake the croissants in house and they're delicious! The zucchini bread was pretty good but nothing extraordinary. Overall, we were happy with our breakfast and would definitely come back to try their coffee and other bakery items! read more

One of the best espresso shots I've had and I work at a coffee shop where we roast our beans. Isaac the barista even gave me a discount because I was in the middle of a run. Great spot, beautiful vibe, highly highly recommend read more

Clean place, laid back vibe, and maybe the best Mocha I have ever had. And the pastries are top notch as well. Great find!

11/10, off the scale delicious coffee. No photos because I chugged that sh*t. Their honey jasmine cold brew is life-changing (one of their February specials). Unfortunately I was only visiting the area and I am truly devastated that I can't get it on the regular. I loved it so much that I made sure to drop in one last time the morning that I had to leave. I only wish I asked for the recipe so that I could make it at home. read more

TL;DR: - Date interacted: 2024-08-01 - Actual Rating: 3.75/5 - Rounded Rating: 4/5 - A clean and trendy cafe setting that served a tasty medialuna. Food: - Latte (3/5): The milk was over-frothed and as a result the latte didn't have the right texture, but it seems like they're capable of proper milk steaming based on the one latte picture (as of this review), so I may have just had an off experience. - Medialuna (4/5): This was a simple but tasty bite--I liked the mild sweetness of the glaze and the buttery-ness of the pastry that was both flaky and chewy at the same time. Service (4/5): The cashier was friendly and welcoming--no complaints. Ambiance (4/5): Clean and trendy interior that looks like it'd be a good place to pull up a laptop and work read more

Great place for coffee and the iced Chai tea was the best Ive ever had! Will definitely be going back when we are in Pismo again!

The BEST pastries in the 5 cities area hands down.Yes, I've tried all of them. The coffee cake muffin, cream cheese croissant, morning bun and almond croissant were all fantastic. Noah (barista) recommended the Argentinian pastry(pictured) and that was delicious. Fresh pastries and a cozy vibe make it a must try when visiting the area. read more

My new favorite coffee in Pismo! The dark chocolate blended mocha was good (I'm a Dutch bros fan for reference) and my mom said her white chocolate hot latte was the best she's ever had. Not too sweet! Definitely worth a try and I'll be back next time I'm in town. read more
