    [[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.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cute spot! Very welcoming and the staff is so sweet, even opened the door for us ;)[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Got our drinks super quick and the outdoor seating was convenient and comfy![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My blended chai was yummy and sweet if that's what you're wanting since I'm not a coffee fan hehe! My boyfriend said the coffee had a different smell but still tasted good! Prices are affordable

    [[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.

    Walked over here for some coffee as close to Grover beach sourdough. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a cute coffee shop! So much to look at. All decorated for Christmas![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Soo many delicious looking pastries! And gluten free options. Hubs had the medium roast coffee and liked it. I had the Hawaiian latte, it was yummy! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Fast service.. inside and outside seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Definitely will be back!

    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! [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is a nice spot close to the beach and offers tourists and locals something tasty to bring with them while walking to their hotel or to enjoy along the water.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    A "large" iced Hawaiian latte  A medium late with "light" foam  ...According to them lol

    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.

    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.

I am a coffee snob and have my own espresso machine at home but love visiting new coffee shops and Tribe Coffee did not disappoint. Was given recommendations by the staff, based on what i usually drink and tried something new and different and I truly enjoyed it. Skip the chain coffee shops and come support this very unique coffeehouse. Will be back! In this visit we had a kids hot chocolate, Honey Rose Latte and Velvet Virtue.

Somehow they really do blend together. Now one would expect the drink to be more green or pink somehow but it's pretty natural, which makes sense with the overall vibe of the place. No artificial colorings or flavorings here. Ham & cheese: The pastries seem to rotate so there isn't a set food menu. They had an assortment of pastries available and my preference leans more savory so a toasted ham and cheese was perfect for me for lunch. Service was friendly and informative - they have a pretty extensive menu but the staff know the menu and can offer recommendations. The ambiance is really what would deter me from coming back. Personally, it's just not my vibe, feels a little bit claustrophobic like I'm in a old beachside cottage or mini barn. The floors are worn and tired and pained this jarring shade of teal. The plate my ham and cheese was served on was a similar shade. Blue is not a color that triggers appetite traditionally so I'm curious as to why this choice was made. If I were to come back I'd probably either sit outside or take my drink to go. Really a bummer because the latte was so good. But again, just personal preference.

    Yesterday I took my cat obsessed teenage daughter to The Caffeinated Cat Cafe in Grover Beach, and…read moreit honestly could not have been a better experience. The location is super cute, warm, and inviting from the moment you walk in. This was our first ever visit, and their website did a great job clearly explaining how everything works. We made a reservation, paid $16 each for a 50 minute visit, and it was absolutely worth it. Kayla, who was working the front desk, was friendly, helpful, and welcoming, which made the experience even better. We started in the kitten room, and the time flew by so fast that we never even made it to the adult cat area. The kittens were incredibly playful, social, and engaged, and it was very clear they are being well cared for. If you love cats, enjoy good and inexpensive coffee drinks, and want to support a local business with a great mission, I highly recommend checking this place out. It was such a fun and memorable experience for my daughter and me, and we will absolutely be back.

    They turned my two year old away after him having been there three times already and they said "no…read morechildren under 4" even though it's be his fourth visit. The inconsistency is ridiculous and it sucks to hype up your child for the cats and then be turned away. In response to the owner commenting: my child had gone in at 6 months, 9 months and 1.5 years. There was no attempt at being dishonest about his age and there was no mention or signage at the times of visiting. You could just apologize for the inconvenience and the misunderstanding and be more consistent with your rules in the future so situations like this don't occur.

    The best quality matcha drink in the area from SLO to Santa Maria! My new go to boba place in town!…read more The last time I visited this location was almost 2 years ago when it was still the old boba shop with a different owner. According to the new owner, they're not associated with the last one in any way. Chapter 25 has its own theme that I love which is "kindness". You'll see stickers, art works, and signs both inside the store and outside that promoting kindness. I am obsessed with matcha drinks and matcha anything! If the place offers matcha drinks or desserts, I'd have to try it. From all the pictures on Yelp, their strawberry matcha seems like the most popular item, so of course I had to try it my first time here. The matcha is ceremonial quality, whisked and made as ordered, then pair with fresh strawberry puree pieces and milk. I have tried matcha drinks/latte from pretty much every coffee shops around that offer them, Chapter 25 is hands down the best one! Glad Chapter 25 is here. I just have to control myself and not come here more than a couple times a week lol.

    With new flavors coming in all the time this boba tea shop is always popping!…read more I've been here a few times and all the drinks are so good! The owner Jeff is always so welcoming and reassuring that if you don't like your drink just let him know. I've liked everything that was made. I will be back! This shop was recently decorated for the holidays and getting ready for the new year! Stop in the say hi, sing, dance, play games and even the keyboard--this place is a lot of good fun!
