We stopped by Scout Coffee Company as a result of the Tesla supercharger that is in the back parking lot. We have been to the Scout Coffee location in SLO and this was the first time that we've been here at the Morro Bay location. We had an iced vanilla latte and hot mocha along with their morning bun. The mocha tastes a little bit more like a hot chocolate mix with espresso versus an old-fashioned mocha, but I was pleasantly surprised by how lightly sweet it was. The morning bun was one of the best morning buns I've ever had. The bakery for Scout Coffee is at this location and so all the pastries were very fresh. The location aesthetic was beautiful and they had a lovely large wooden community table that you can sit at as well as a cute area for kids to sit and play equip with a kid coffee shop wooden toy. Very sweet. read more

We made a pit stop for charging the EV here. No wait and delicious food pastries and drinks here. Ok/good 1. Homemade bread on turkey sandwich -- the cheese was too salty Better 1. Scout cookie (warmed) 2. Ham and cheese croissant (warmed up) 3. Crème fraiche scone Best: 1. Almond blackberry jam croissant 2. Leek and gruyere scone 3. Moroccan mint tea The experience was so nice we ended up stopping here twice! read more

Good service, nice ambiance. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Dogs are only allowed inside if you're picking coffee up. Really not a fan of their lattes. I was looking forward to this as there were many raving over scout coffee. However, the taste is just very diluted and watered down. I tried their wilderness latte. The notes were nice, but I expected more for the flavor. read more

This is one of my favorite coffee shops ever! Their syrups are homemade and their pastries are to die for! Their raspberry chocolate scone is incredible. I've had my mom stop here on her way home to San Diego from the Bay Area just so I could have the scone again. I have also gotten the almond blackberry croissant which was delicious. Can't go wrong with any of their pastries. Cute place in an old bank. They even have the vault you can see. Even when it's busy the staff is so nice. read more

Beautiful building with tall ceilings and an old vault! So much SEATING and great for studying or meeting a friend. Staff is very friendly and helpful in describing options. Drinks were great they had lattes made with in house syrups. I ended up trying one of the specials called the WILDERNESS LATTE and it was great! Not too sweet and very aromatic resembling essence of a pine tree almost more like a tea. Very UNIQUE and worth a stop! read more

I kept seeing this coffee shop all over social media as one of the best coffee spots in SLO County, so I knew I had to check it out for myself. When I walked in, I was impressed by how open and spacious the café felt. There was plenty of seating, making it a great place to relax or get some work done. What immediately caught my attention, though, was the pastry case since I'm a huge fan of pastries. I ended up ordering a cappuccino and a chocolate croissant. The cappuccino was okay, but it didn't quite meet my expectations. The espresso tasted fairly light, and I personally prefer a stronger, more complex espresso flavor. Overall, the drink leaned a bit too milky for my taste. The chocolate croissant was also just average. I was a little disappointed when I overheard that pastries could be warmed up upon request. I imagine it would have tasted much better warm. It would be helpful if staff mentioned this option when customers order in-store, especially for first-time visitors. Otherwise, how would new customers know? Overall, the service was friendly, and the coffee shop has a beautiful modern atmosphere. While the ambiance stands out, I found the coffee and pastries to be just okay. If you visit, I'd definitely recommend asking to have your pastry warmed up, it may make a big difference in the experience. read more

I stopped into Scout Coffee while in Morro Bay and really enjoyed this spot. I love how they repurposed the old bank and kept the original vault. It gives the coffee shop a unique feel and adds so much character to the space. I had the pain au chocolat, which was yummy with a nice dark chocolate flavor. For coffee, I ordered a latte with their house-made Raw Sugar and Whiskey syrup. The coffee was smooth, and the latte was just sweet enough without the syrup overpowering the coffee. Great coffee, a yummy pastry, and a unique space. I will definitely be back the next time I am in Morro Bay. read more

First time visiting and this is easily one of the nicest places to grab coffee in San Luis Obispo County. A great addition to Morro Bay with a very large parking lot in the back, and I noticed EV charging available as well. The ambience is excellent and my coffee was perfect. I especially loved the lemon pistachio shortbread cookie so much that I went back and ordered a second one to go. Unfortunately, when I got back to my hotel I realized I had been given a chocolate chip cookie instead. I returned to exchange it, but they had already run out of the shortbread cookies, which was disappointing. Overall, a great experience, but I'm giving it four stars because of the order mix-up and the lack of remaining cookies when I returned. Just a note to double check your bag before leaving. read more

absolute beauty of a coffee shop plus we had to charge our tesla there. Bathrooms clean, plenty of places to sit and enjoy. Now for coffee our lattes were way too milky for our taste and the lady did not ask if we wanted it hot or iced. She automatically assumed hot and because it was busy we were unable to get it switched. We didn't like our drinks and will walk to another shop next time we have to charge read more

Stopped by Scout with 5 others on Saturday morning and it was such a nice spot. The place is huge and their pastry options are endless. The employees are all very nice and welcoming. There is plenty of seating inside and outside. I had the sunshine latte and it was perfectly flavored and sweetened. The pastries are all very fresh, soft and unique. The almond croissant had some type of jam and the dark chocolate cherry sone was Amazing!! read more

I feel bad for writing this review but I was underwhelmed with the matcha that we ordered. I don't think this is fair because we are from LA and the quality of the matcha that we have out there is very difficult to beat. However, I didn't like how a lot of the matcha that they have seemed premade already. You can see it mixing in the machine to keep it "fresh" or "prepared". The service that we experienced was absolutely amazing, everyone was so nice and they said that the matcha was a fan favorite. I'm sure other things on the menu were much better than what we ordered, so if I'm in the area I'd love to give this place another try. If you're looking to study, or looking for a place to just sit relax and talk with people the inside of the cafe was beautifully done. read more

So glad I found this place! Best place to grab a quality coffee and baked good in Morro Bay. Discovered it while charging the Tesla in their back parking lot. I got the vanilla latte and dark chocolate raspberry scone. The coffee was 5/5 smooth no burnt or bitter espresso taste. The scone was super soft and tasted fresh. They have a lot of cute things to buy like dried flower bouquets, coffee mugs, books, and a fridge with fresh juices. I grabbed some kombucha and sparkling juice for the road. read more

Popped in for a quick drink! There was a huge line yet I still managed to get my order under 10 minutes which was nice! The building is huge with lots of seating indoor and outside.

Such a beautiful, bright space with friendly service and amazing coffee and food! My sister and I went on a Sunday morning and it was super busy. Many of the inside tables were taken and the outdoor patio was filling up as well. My sister grabbed a turkey and Gruyère sandwich from the cold case and had it heated up. I opted for the savory danish with leeks and potato. Both dishes were delicious. The Turkey sandwich was heart and more than enough to share. My danish was flaky and the leek and potato filling was so rich and tasty. We also shared a berry crumble. For coffee I got the vanilla bean latte. It was so smooth and delicious. I can't wait to return! read more

Had coffee and pastries here for breakfast this morning. Coffee is great and the morning bun and bacon cheddar chive scone were wonderful. Ambiance is friendly, and the seating is open and airy. This is obviously an old bank, with the vault open (door is fixed open and there is plexiglass covering the opening, but you can see inside). Highly recommend. This will be our go-to as we're in Morro often. read more

Super cute coffee shop that does both coffee and pastries really well! The space is huge, and when you walk in there are lots of cute displays with merch and little trinkets. Plenty of seating too, which I always appreciate. The raspberry chocolate scone was so good. We found out that all of the pastries are made in-house and they even roast their own coffee beans there, which is pretty cool. I got the jasmine rose latte and loved it. Overall, such a cute spot and I'd definitely come back! read more

Another location that used to be a bank and turned into a coffee shop. This shop is huge and modern. They have plenty of seating inside and out. Also a cute little table with chairs for kids. My boys really enjoyed it. They have lots of options for drinks, food, and pastries. I choose an iced chai. The drink did take awhile but was worth the wait. The chai had a spiciness to it. I'm not sure what it was but I liked it. A cool coffee shop to relax at if you're in the area. read more

I do not like to be greeted by "Welcome in", a phrase which is irritating, has no meaning, and delivered with an automatic voice telling me they really don't care if you're here or not. The espresso is sour, sometimes comes without a proper crema, and I don't even dare ask them to make a macchiato which will probably end up being a latte. There are way overpriced knick-knacks for sale. On the plus side, the croissants are decent and the morning bun is excellent. read more

interior is massive with lots of merch, local vendor items, cookbooks, candles, etc for sale. plenty of seating options and natural lighting. restrooms are gorgeous and spacious. staff are super sweet and friendly! my drink was okay, the doug fir flavor wasn't noticable (wilderness). but my friend's jasmine latte (I think sunshine?) had an amazing jasmine flavor that didn't overpower the coffee. read more

Perfect cafe and supercharger stop with clean restrooms. The staff were polite and got my iced coffee ready quickly. Love the seating space and books that were being sold. The cafe is surrounded by other mini shops, restaurants and massage spots. If you plan to drive the 1 Fwy using a Tesla, this is a great spot to charge before hitting the road. read more

What to Get: You can't go wrong with any of their coffees/teas. I always go for anything seasonal. Their pastries are a delight as well Customer Service: Exceptional service, expectations exceeded. Unfortunately, my wife accidentally spilled my coffee all over the table, ground and me; I thought, "there goes me having some coffee," as I wasn't planning to pay for another coffee, but when we asked for help to clean the area, Caitlyn who was one of the barista there, cleaned up the situation we had along with making a new coffee like the one that spilled free of charge without us expecting her to offer the free coffee. I was so thankful that I still got to drink my coffee after all Price: Approximately $17.30, not including tip for 2 people Ambience: Indoor/Outdoor Seating. Large coffee shop to study, read and/or work at Overall: Best Experience read more

We've been going to Scout Coffee in Morro Bay since they first opened, and it's still one of our favorite stops. The coffee is consistently great, the staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is always welcoming. Their raspberry chocolate scones are absolutely delicious and pair perfectly with a cup of coffee. After all these years, Scout continues to be a place we look forward to visiting every time we're in Morro Bay. Highly recommend! read more

Shout out to Kaitlin for taking my complicated order and making it easy for me. Thank you for the personal cup discount and speedy service. - I was excited to get the Ginger Molasses Cookie but realized it was a different recipe from last time. This cookie was thicker, less moist and had a rock sugar topping. It is still vegan and gluten free but I preferred the other recipe better. - The Matcha was made with more milk than expected. As always, parking was tight but free and the decor was festive and on brand. read more

Lovely area, tons of seating both indoor and outdoor. Tons of college kids studying. Unfortunately, the matcha is a hard pass. They have a drink dispenser at the counter with pre-made matcha to fill your cup? Unsure how often they switch it out, but it's very watery and bitter, could hardly taste it. The added strawberry only made it more acidic. On the bright side, the almond croissant was definetly worth it and extremely delicious! Just wished it was warmed up. read more

Grabbed an iced (quad) vanilla bean latte to-go. It was good - smooth and balanced. Had pretty high expectations for this place, but the coffee didn't particularly knock my socks off.

Good pastry selection and excellent hot chocolate (I'm not a coffee drinker). Service is fast and friendly.

On our quick trip to Morro Bay Scout Coffee was at the top of my "must do" list! We tried 2 different hot lattes, vanilla bean & salted caramel both were smooth & flavorful with no burnt taste nor overly sweet. We also tried 3 bakery items: a morning bun, a bacon & cheese scone & a lemon pistachio shortbread cookie, all 3 were excellent! Friendly, chatty staff, good prices & lots of parking too. I would go back in a heart beat! read more
