Food was great, the salsa is amazing in my opinion! Service was awesome, seems like they have a great really great group working there. The owner Mike was very nice and even offered suggestions on where to go around town. For newbies, we really appreciated it and he made it feel very welcoming. The shop was quirky and had amazing paintings and the decor was cool and fun! It was really pretty in the back area with a running fountain. They are also dog friendly, we saw a couple furry friends, which is always a plus in my book! read more

Needed a quick coffee after another horrible hotel breakfast coffee! Found enough good reviews to make a quick stop here. I had the cold brew coffee and it was exactly what I needed. The cup was very large for the price -- like 20-24 oz. The cup lids are awkward to sip from, but who cares, right? Coffee was good and $5 and change seemed reasonable. My wife had an iced vanilla latte with oat milk and it was $8. Buyer beware! I'm a little puzzled why it was so pricey -- is it a larger size than its competitors or is oat milk that hard to come by here? Her review: "it's ok." That was without the knowledge of the price, mind you. Out the door, our two drinks cost $14.20. Ouch. Overall, I'd come back back, but my wife wasn't enthusiastic about this place and given the price of her drink, I'm fine trying somewhere else too. read more

Rock Espresso Bar has an amazing vibe with a cozy ambiance and a great outdoor patio. We tried the honey vanilla cinnamon latte and the Mexican mocha, and both were absolutely perfect. The breakfast burrito and breakfast sandwich were also prepared to perfection--fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. This place is a gem, and we'll definitely be back next time we're in Morro Bay! read more

Was visiting from out of town so I don't know the area but this place had great reviews so thought I would check it out. I was looking for breakfast burritos to take back to the hotel. I bought two bacon burritos and it cost $34 dollars. Got back to my room and was shocked at how small and simple they were. I do not recommend this place for breakfast burritos!!!! Staff seemed cool but very disappointed! read more

This place still is a stellar place to start your day before going out to adventure or explore. It's a calm oasis to have a good cup of coffee, surf the web, and chill with your pooch in the patio garden. It's that reliable establishment for the weary travellers who want instant comfort when arriving from far away. It's a good place for getting extra sustenance. read more

New owners, so new review. Well, it's happened. My favorite place to get a coffee while at the coast is no longer what it used to be. The prices have gone up there is no choice in size the customer service has gone down hill and the coffee doesn't taste like it was. Ordering from the new staff is an adventure every time because you never know how it's going to turn out. I'm very sorry to say but I will probably not be returning for a coffee in the future. read more

We heard about this place from Rachel at the Blue Sky Bistro after I told her our hotel does not provide breakfast. We came here on a Sunday morning at about 9 AM. There was a small line of about 4 people ahead of us and this line was constant as we waited for our order. Definitely a local favorite as plenty of people spoke with familiarity to the baristas. There is small amount of seating indoors. They have this fantastic back patio/garden with a few tables but they were full during our visit. Out front on the sidewalk we're a few tables and we were able to sit there and wait for our order. I really wanted to try the Mexican Mocha but they had a sign announcing they had new Pumpkin drinks available and pumpkin pastries. The barista suggested I go with the pumpkin because, well it's pumpkin season! I ordered a Snowy Pumpkin which is a pumpkin white mocha drink. We also ordered a Rock Burrito with bacon and one with sausage, a blueberry muffin and pumpkin bread. The coffee drink was ready within 5 minutes and we had a small wait of about 15-20 min for the burritos. The coffee was just as expected, delicious pumpkin flavoring that was just right. The pumpkin bread was very moist and tasty too. We took our burritos back to the hotel and they were so good. We ended up sharing half of the burritos because one was not to have avocado and so we had to cut them in half to see which one had no avocado. So I ended up eating a few bites until I realized I was eating my son's sausage burrito. Both burritos were good but I have to say the bacon one was just more enjoyable. Definitely would come back! read more

Went a few weeks ago. Nice customer service and delicious breakfast burritos. 10/10 would go eat there again. Also good orange juice.

Great coffee. Great food. Staff is awesome and recommended a lot of other good spots in town.

Drove from Pismo beach, on our way back to Santa Cruz, and stopped here for a bite after reading the reviews on Yelp. We ordered the breakfast burrito - it was great! The salsa was delicious and we asked for a second serving Also ordered the open face everything bagel with an egg on top. It was one of the best bagel sandwiches ever! So much flavor with salsa, green onions & cilantro. Just changed hands and is a woman-owned business. Highly recommend and would come back. read more

Rude!! no welcome, just, did you figure out what you wanted? I asked if there was anything for kids on/off the menu. Sometimes there is. She pointed to the back of her and said that's what I got, I don't know what you're trying to get. Her face was sour and looked mad that I asked. Instead you would think in a tourist area it would be, Hi.. Welcome, how can i help, no i'm sorry we don't have anything for kids but I can recommend a place. I would have still got my husband his breakfast burrito and myself a coffee, but I decided within a second that I wasn't going to spend any money here. Once I said we're leaving to my husband she started trying to tell me where we could go. No thanks. Work on your customer service. read more

Got a fresh brewed iced tea and a delicious everything bagel for my wife. I opted for a white mocha and a blueberry muffin that didn't last long, it was amazing. Great service, we will be back!! read more

Bright yelllow and blue paint matches the barista's personality! He's had too much coffee I think! He's quite the character but makes really perfect espresso drinks. He knows the formulas, is fast, and friendly. The coffee flavor is nice - bold but not bitter. read more

Named for the famous Morro Rock, a reminder of the volcanic past of the area, Rock Espresso Bar serves tourists and locals alike. It's always a good sign when the locals are lining up for coffee bright and early, as was the case here. Rock offers the full range of expected caffeine drinks (lattes, mochas, etc.) as well as a menu of typical coffee breakfast and lunch items. I had the coffee cake, a cinnamon and sugar topped treat. My companion availed himself of a vegan bar which he enjoyed. Service with a smile. Perfect place to pick up a coffee before taking in the sights. read more

In the area for the day and stopped in for a caffeine fix. Weather was a bit cool and windy so decided on a hot latte and went with the rose flavoring. Jenna was my barista and she was very personable throughout my stay. She pointed out a little secret garden area in back where I could enjoy my coffee and that there was a bathroom as well. She politely asked if I'd like some baked goodies that were freshly made and I declined as I had already bought some goodies earlier. I tell you though the bakery case looked amazing and if I were going back I'd definitely sample them. My rose latte was delicious and service was on point, thanks Jenna! read more

Love this place! Local vibe, great staff, the back patio is a nice place to enjoy your coffee and avocado bagel.

After walking along the harbor and checking out a few shops, we were hungry for breakfast and came here based on a few reviews and their location. We each had a simple breakfast burrito. They were each good, along with the spicy salsa served with each. Costs have risen everywhere, and given the location the prices seemed in line with the area...but still on the higher side. The wait was longer than we were expecting, but the staff was friendly and we enjoyed waiting in their outdoor patio. Good music playing and a laid back vibe helped make our wait time better while we talked about our plans for the rest of the day. read more

The vibe there was very friendly, very open. I loved how friendly the staff was and how friendly the customers were. You could tell that it's very well. Welcoming to the locals and travelers. The coffee there was so good I. Almost ordered 3 cups. I love that it is dog friendly and also kind of kid friendly. My child had such a good time with the scenery of the place. read more
