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

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

Service and ambiance here are absolutely great, and most of the food is excellent. However, I have to call out the bear claw (almond Danish). The almond paste they use is delicious, but then you hit a layer of jelly. Jelly in an almond bear claw? It's completely unexpected, pure sugar, and just makes the whole pastry way too sweet for me. Everything else is fantastic, but I'd skip the bear claw unless you have a massive sweet tooth. 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

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

I really loved the vibe of this coffeehouse! It's bright, welcoming, and incredibly cute--perfect for meeting up with friends, studying, reading a book and relaxing, or even doing a little shopping. The whole place has a great energy, and I was feeling it! The vanilla bean latte was delicious, smooth, and just the right amount of sweet. A great spot to hang out and enjoy a good cup of 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

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

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

This place is very cute and spacious. The ambiance is def a vibe!! Lots of seating so great for studying or hanging out with friends! Service was ehh and the drink was lowkey mid. I got an iced super bloom latte. Wasn't bad, but coffee flavor was highly lacking and the rose/jasmine flavors were very light. 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. It's a beautiful storefront with a lot of cute merch if that's your thing. It's worth checking out once if you're in the area. 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

Love this place! I'm so happy they opened up the Morro Bay location. It's beautiful and sooo spacious. We went in the morning between 9 and 11 for two days in a row and found street parking very easily. We also had no issues finding tables. Coffee was delightful. Perfect for your early beach town walks. read more

Tried both locations-SLO & Morro Bay. both locations were very clean and staff was polite. The morning bun was amazing. Crunchy on the outside and soft in the middle. I had a vanilla latte and the Gibraltar. Both were excellent. My husband ordered the golden milk, which is something you don't find too often at a coffee shop and it was good. Can't wait to go back! read more

Great coffee shop! We came here every morning during our four day trip, and were not disappointed. The atmosphere and vibes are great, coffee was excellent (even bought their $20 beans), and the pastries were delicious. Their matcha I have to admit is just OK, definitely could upgrade to ceremonial grade to those who are into matcha, but otherwise can't complain. Their place gets busy on the weekends reflective of their popularity. Highly recommend! read more

I grabbed a Vanilla Bean Latte here at the Scout Coffee Morro Bay location. Guess what? It's actually a remodeled bank! They've got images inside that show how they did the renovations from start to finish. It's pretty interesting to see the full transformation while also keeping some of the banks original elements. Of course, the coffee is also well-made and delicious. My vanilla bean latte was so creamy and had a nice vanilla flavor that wasn't too overpowering. My parents got the Sunshine Special Latte, which had a hint of orange, it was surprisingly smooth. The staff was very courteous and they answered our questions about the menu and provided great recommendations for my parents who weren't sure what they wanted. Scout Coffee is one of the best places to visit in the SLO area, so you definitely have to check it out when you're in Morro Bay or SLO. Oh, and don't forget to check out the vault when you visit! read more

This place was ok. My boyfriend and I visited on a weekend trip and wanted a caffeine pick me up. A friend recommended this spot to us. It's a really big shop with lots of seating and nick nacks you can buy. Very clean and well decorated. We went on a Saturday morning and it was very busy. We ordered a hot vanilla latte and hot mocha. Service was fine, lots of employees working. The coffee itself was ok, too much cocoa in the mocha in our opinion. read more

We saw Scout Coffee was a local favorite, so I was excited to try it in Morro Bay. First entering Scout, it really reminds me of Verve Coffee. Really similar vibes! The shop is huge and has ample indoor and outdoor seating. We opted for the seasonal Brown Sugar Rosemary latte and the Iced matcha - both were really good. The pastries looked absolutely delicious but we were already pretty full from breakfast. The coffee was smooth and the seasonal flavor was so cozy. Would definitely return! read more

I find the espresso to be weak and overly acidic. Service also isn't great, drinks take a very long time and baristas seem very preoccupied with their own conversations. Very nice location though. It's a nice place to sit although it gets very busy. read more

The staff are exceptionally friendly, greeting everyone within moments of entry with a very cheery welcome. The pastry offerings look delicious, but I did not partake today. I did have a large latte and it was delicious. So creamy and smooth with a lovely espresso taste, only a short four block walk off of the Embarcadero. Definitely worth a visit. read more

Came across Scout Coffee on Yelp while looking for Chai Latte, and glad it came up! Been coming here for a long time and haven't made my way in yet, glad I did! The place/aesthetics are nice, friendly service, along with a nice menu, and food selection. I got the Chai Seed pudding, and a Honey Lavender Matcha, both are very good! Never had a Chai pudding with a top layer of peanut butter, definitely liked it. The Matcha is not over powering, nicely balanced. The young lady did suggest more syrup (lavender) to sweeten it up a bit of I liked it sweeter, so I did. Will be a for sure go to when in town. All in all: Friendly service, good menu selection, good food/tea & coffee. Well worth the visit! read more

Place looks nice with plenty of seating. Staff got our order ready in less than 10 minutes with 6 drinks. I would've preferred my croissant warm, but they did not offer (they do have warmed pastries). Also, my matcha was disappointing & tasted like milk. Iced lattes could be sweeter (super bitter). Only the hot drinks are good with the right amount of sweetener. read more

This location is huge and so pretty! The space feels very open and welcoming. Lots of cute merch and plenty of seating available. Notable mentions include the matcha lemonade strawberry, honey cinnamon scone, and scout cookie. The matcha was super refreshing and not too sweet! Scone was so so good. It almost tasted like a coffee cake! Scout cookie is a must. I'd definitely come back to this location. Such a gem! read more

What an adorable coffee shop! The vibe is modern, laid back with lots of tables for coffee with friends or to get work done. Indoor and outdoor seating.

Perfect place to relax in the middle of town. The Morro Bay location had ample parking, plenty of seating both inside and outside. And the coffee and bakery were awesome. We stayed and had our drinks and had great service. All the baristas were kind. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. One thing that you probably wouldn't think of from a coffee shop, is try the granola!! We'll be back next time we're up. read more

Save your money and avoid this clip joint. Spent $47 and no refills? Ceramic cups are nice but don't hold much. Everyone likes a second cup. Coffee is cheap vs losing a customer for life. Nice ambiance but won't be back. Buttercup Bakery just right down the street with free refills. read more
