The coffee is delicious. They have pastry options for gluten free and dairy free that are GOOD. They have a vegan breakfast wrap that's good. They have a lot of options & the food is really tasty. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They don't have a lot of room & they're busy so get your stuff to go, be willing to wait, or order on the phone ahead of time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

My gf loves their coffee, and comes here every time we visit because we live 4 hours away. But one of their staff, the asian one to be specific is SO RUDE. She has the worse attitude. Never coming back here because she ruined our experience. I've been working in customer service for over a decade. I get it, we all have bad days. Or we encounter very unpleasant customers. But, we were being nice to her and asking nicely about having a coffee remade. But she wants to just roll her eyes and have an attitude. To add on a caucasian girl gave us attitude saying "we make our coffee hot by default unless you say you want it iced". I tried calling this place to talk to a manger but do not answer, knowing they weren't even busy. Please hire people who actually like their job, not little girls who can't seem to figure out the definition of professionalisim. read more

So glad this spot was close to our campsite. It ended up being the perfect little morning stop. I grabbed a hot matcha latte and it was just right, not overly sweet but still smooth and comforting. You could actually taste the matcha without it being drowned out, which I appreciate. The blueberry muffin was honestly the standout for me. It was soft, slightly crumbly on top, and tasted fresh not dry at all. It had that homemade feel especially since it was actual fresh blueberries inside. It tasted like something you'd grab from a local bakery rather than a typical coffee shop pastry. Paired with the matcha, it was a really simple but satisfying combo. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Pretty cute coffee shop with both indoor and outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There's street parking nearby and also a lot in the back Pumpkin spice latte: 2/5 I don't like nutmeg so I wasn't a fan of this Pecan praline latte: 3/5 I prefer very sweet coffee so I didn't love this. I also didn't taste a whole lot of pecan at first but it got stronger as the drink got water downed later Breakfast supreme panini: 4/5 I liked the pastrami a lot but it's a bit too simple for me as a sandwich read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute little shop that is around the corner from Grover Beach Sourdough.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Came in and grabbed an Americano. Initial reaction, they aren't very friendly. I got a look, but no greeting. When I got to the counter to order, I could barely hear the server. Got my Americano and found it to be a little weak. 4 shots for the large - maybe they need to up it to 6. I don't think I'll be back. Their other menu items might be good, but for coffee, I found it to be a little weak. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Red Bee is a really cute and cozy spot with high quality coffee and tea.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great selection of food and pastries as well. I found the service to be friendly, and my chai latte was out and ready in literally 2 minutes! Their prices for drinks are well in line with the larger coffee chains, with MUCH better ambience inside and outside for those who want to sit a while, so why not support a local business instead? Easy parking in the back and on side streets is a plus. read more

Consistently great cappuccinos and super friendly baristas. I've lived here for 30 years and have been to all the coffee houses in the area. Red Bee is at the top of my list! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Actually really liked this little spot![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Out of so many coffee shops, it was tough to choose. But this one was right next to Sourdough where we picked up some legendary breakfast sandwiches to enjoy with our coffee. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat outside and sipped on our iced beverages (cold brew and americano).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I almost went back in to try their breakfast panini and compare to next door. Maybe next time we're in town! Cold brew was amazing btw and I'm a snob read more

Walked over here for some coffee as close to Grover beach sourdough. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a cute coffee shop! So much to look at.

Good coffee, good macchiato, good plain croissants. Baristas and register folks have totally flat affects. Definitely not a "Cheers" welcoming place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Might avoid mornings. Half the seats have direct sunlight in your eyes[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have a signs to be friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Dad asked for a splash more coffee to cut the rest of macchiato. Nope. Has to buy an entirely new cup of coffee. read more

We came here twice during our trip to Pismo Beach and the coffee is great! We had it both iced and hot and it was delicious. We also ate two of the breakfast paninis and loved them!

Wanted to support a small coffee shop so I came here with another one of my family members. I ordered for a large iced Hawaiian latte. I felt like I received a medium considering the size of the cup/oz, the girl who seemed like she didn't want to be there in the first place, gave me my coffee and I had to ask to make sure it was a large, not a medium as she had called out seconds before....after that unsure answer from her, my other drink came out and was a medium extra hot latte with no foam requested. The drink was 1/4 foam and lacked flavor, again just like the first drink. Safe to say after a $13.50 bill for two coffees, $1 tip, bland coffee flavor, and not good customer service, I will not be supporting here anymore unfortunately. read more

Truth Bee Told Small, locally-owned café and roastery located in scenic Grover Beach that's been in operation since 2017 (ownership change in 2020). Red Bee was only a few blocks from the AirBnB we were staying at, so it made for a nice morning constitutional to get our morning caffeine fix. The Good: *Only three blocks from the beach. *Street and private lot parking *Outdoor dog-friendly area *Lattes were delicious and beautifully crafted. The Meh: *$1 oat milk tax (i.e., luxury tax) *Panini was OK but could've used a little more filling The Ugly: *Service was standoffish and smarmy. Definitely not what one would expect in a small mom-and-pop café like this but usually in one of the larger chains. Conclusion: Damn, fine coffee, but the Grumpy Gertrudes behind the counter spoiled the mood. read more

Really disappointed. Wanted a coffee when we got to Grover beach on the Amtrak before we walked over to pismo. I got the bee latte and it was super bitter and strong. Also had a blueberry scone, tasted weird. Won't be back when we go to pismo beach next. read more

Not A Bad Choice Near Highway 1..... Pros: Cute shop. Drinks generally well made. Reasonable prices. Cons: Convenience of location is questionable. Service was interesting. Parking gets by. Star Ratings: - Overall: 3 - Location: 3 - Ambiance: 4 - Menu: 4 - Food Quality: 4 - Service: 3 - Price: 4 - Parking: 3 I'm often on the lookout for a local place where I can grab a quick snack and be on my way. I've seen the Red Bee before...mainly while having dinner at Pono Pacific and buying flowers at Shell Beach Floral Design a few doors down the block. But I finally decided to give them a try. Here are the pros and cons: Pros: - Location: It depends. If you're near Highway 1 or the beach.....it's great. - Ambiance: Cute. It's a nice looking place with tables and chairs both inside and outside along with some knick-knacks in the shop. - Food Quality: Again it depends. My drink was well prepared, except for a request of "extra foam" which really wasn't there. The big chocolate chip cookie was excellent. In fact, the pastry case at the Red Bee is among the best I've seen. A wide variety of great looking things. - Service: The cashier was charming...although she couldn't find keys on the register. It was probably her first day. The drink was done promptly, - Price: Reasonable. The cookie was $3.50, but it was thick and had lots of chips and raisins. Cons: - Location: Not too convenient of you're on the Highway 101 side of things. - Service: The young, kind of heavy set woman who made my drink knew what she was doing, though it was served more with snark than a smile. She might have lost patience teaching the newbie what to do. - Parking: Mediocre. There's a little in front and on the side with more in the back, but that's shared with all the shops on the block. If I go back, it would be more for the food than anything else. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Beautiful coffee shop just steps from the beach.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Every employee is filled with care and professionalism. Their bee latte is something dreams are made of.

Absolutely the best coffee shop in town! I moved here three years ago and had completely stopped drinking coffee--until I found Red Bee Coffee.

I'm so glad I found this place--highly recommend! read more

We stopped in a for a few lattes and iced coffees after hiking and picking up sourdough next door. Everything was good and priced about where I'd expect. No dogs allowed inside but they had plenty of seating in the sun outside. read more

The coffee at Red Bee is very good. Their prices are very high in comparison to Starbucks and Coffee Bean tho so if you are on a budget this may be a poor choice for a coffee break. read more

I love this place. Always friendly and have great coffee. The pastries are great!! The only downside is there are no vegan/dairy free options for their breakfast paninis. They have a veggie panini but it has shredded cheese on it. Add a vegan/dairy free option and this place would get 5 stars. I still always go back for their lattes though and I always recommend this place to everyone!! read more

BEST COFFEE SPOT IN PISMO / AVILA /MORRO BAY / SLO AREA!!! Im a bit of a coffee snob, and Im very particular on my mochas & lattes. So when shops make their sauces in house, they generally are pretty good. And this shop does just that! Their mocha was delicious and my wife thoroughly enjoyed her seasonal latte. Their pastries were very tasty as well. We tried multiple other coffee shops in the surrounding area, but none could hold a candle to this place. Not to mention the baristas were super friendly and conversational. The owners happened to come in as well and were very kind and friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The vibe they have create in the shop as well is very cozy and welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] So if you are like me, and want the best of the best coffee, make sure to stop in here! read more

Cute little coffee shop with plenty of seating inside and outside. The girls are very friendly and helpful when you don't know what you're ordering. All I wanted was a Matcha with some flavor in it and I ended up with a strawberry Matcha drink, which was delicious. First time I've had Matcha in the past when a coworker used to bring me some to work. They have yummy Panini and cookies and baked goods as well. So glad we stopped in when we were down the a few doors at the sourdough shop. My husband really liked the tropical tea w coconut mango pineapple syrup. Lots of other great choices. read more

On the long drive from Oceano to SF, we just wanted a coffee to keep us all awake! Red Bee was surprisingly crowded on a Monday morning, but the line moved fast. I ordered a basic latte without any adjustments. Honestly, I wasn't too impressed with the actual coffee flavor. It tasted a bit watered down to me, but maybe I'm just used to drinking espressos all the time? However, the latte foam and art makes up for it. read more

The horrible service was reflected in their coffee , just horrible Coffee quality was worse than gas station coffee, hot coffee tasted like dirty water & cold brew was just as bad with more ice than anything Disappointing & a waste of money. read more

I really just love this place. Staff is always friendly, it's not part of downtown pismo, and they have an off menu blackberry white chocolate latte that is bomb diggity. On a couple of our trips to town, I've needed to do some work and a place to do it. I tucked up at the bar once but had a little more sensitive stuff this time and sat in the table closest to the restroom. I did order 2 drinks and a sandwich, all at different times, but never got a look from staff after being there for 6 hours. Warning: sitting there that long, I spelled like their cooked food when I left... and needed to change my clothes. Def my go to coffee in the area! read more

Pretty good! They had interesting options as well, I decided to get an Iced Bee Latte, which was a good amount of sweet and caffiene.

Nice outside seating, street parking is only available however they have 30 minute parking which is perfect if you are just grabbing on the go. Nice people as well, they made the coffee super fast despite having a lot of people! I liked it and I want to try more read more
