Really amazing beans! We buy beans for our espresso machine and truly nothing else will do now. We are completely hooked. They also have adorable stickers!!! The staff are incredibly kind and knowledgeable. SLO Roasted is such a gem, so glad they are in Osos!! read more

This is a coffee roaster, not a coffee shop, though they have samples out of some of their roasts. It's an industrial building with a lobby that is the coffee 'store'. We stopped in to find some interesting coffee beans, and we received very personalized service. We picked up a bag of decaf (which is getting harder to find in whole bean), and a bag of regular. There is a huge variety of beans to choose from and of course, they know their stuff! They provide coffee to many restaurants in the area and have a big operation. We will definitely be checking out more varieties, we tasted the ones we bought in comparison with a bunch of other roasters on the Central Coast and they are the winner for variety as well as quality. They definitely take pride in their selection and quality! read more

Instead of willy nilly picking up a bag of beans from the grocery, come directly to this family-owned roastery and you will have the opportunity to gaze inside at the roastery and warehouse. The highlight of our visit was having a chat with the owner. There is a small shop in the front to buy your beans, ground or whole. The nice thing is, instead of buying the 12 oz size bags they distribute to their local vendors, they can make you a bigger, 16 oz bag of freshly roasted beans of your choice. You can also try a couple samples of the Coffee of the Day while schmoozing. My personal choice was the Morning Fog Lifter that we had this morning over at Celias Garden Cafe in Los Osos. This roast is smooth, dark, and very special. It makes drinking my coffee black completely delightful without feeling any need to add anything. They are down the street from each other. How convenient, how fortuitous! Worthy of a big bear hug for finding both! We met with Chris, part owner along with his sister, a very friendly and knowledgeable coffee bean pusher, full of valuable tips and information. Their father was the original owner of the business. Keep him talking and you will leave a better person, not to mention a well caffinated, happy coffeeholic. While they do not have an auto ship, Coffee Club membership, as of yet, there are plans in the works. Meanwhile, you can still make an account and order online. Your order ships free for purchases over $50. Easy to do and well worth the effort for those of us who cannot buy it locally. I may have to cancel my other membership with an out of state roastery. Yes. That good! Another great find here in greater SLO. read more

I love this coffee. Years ago when I was in San Luis Obispo county I saw boxes of Keurig K-cups from this roaster and got a few boxes. I was hooked and now I'll frequently mail order their products just so I can pretend I'm on vacation and I sip the coffee. They have three varieties of K-cups. Morning Fog Lifter which is a full bodied medium roast (also has decaff version), Darn Good Coffee which is a blend of light roasted beans, and Pirate's Grogg which has a buttery, rum, spicy, vanilla flavor. I'm not usually into flavored coffees but Pirate's Grogg is fantastic and that's with me drinking it black. Other offerings are coffee in premeasured filter pouches for drip coffee, and a large variety of beans to grind yourself. Besides coffee they've got a variety of gifts, food items, coffee making products, etc. They usually have good sales and have free shipping if you spend enough. I had a tiny issue with the order I received yesterday and they were so friendly on the phone and quick to resolve the issue. If you're looking to try some new coffee give this company a shot! read more

SLO Roasted Coffee - My favorite coffee from SLO Roasted Coffee - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Los Osos, California

There's a surprising number of coffee roasters' blends available in SLO stores. But the predominant style here is medium roast, while I prefer dark roast -- but not so much a French roast which is often bitter due to the acid content. SLO Roasted aka Central Coast Coffee to the rescue! They have a broad variety of blends from light to dark, as well as various flavored blends. Their blends include two non-acidic dark roasts: Stormin' Norman and, my favorite, Col. Austin. But if you want those, or most other of their specialty blends, you have to go to the roastery in Los Osos. There, you can buy any blend you want and have it ground as you want. The little lobby has two kinds of coffees brewed you can try while you wait for the roastery staff to get and grind your coffee. (This is NOT a café.) The employees are always nice, and because they actually make their blends themselves know all about them. Plus, they sell coffee by the pound, not in the 12oz sizes that the stores carry, so a bag lasts longer. SLO Roasted has become my go-to for the coffee I brew at home. read more

I frequent SLO roasted to go and buy a bag or two, but this last weekend was the first I'd attended an open house. Adam, the roaster is a really great guy and gave a detailed demonstration of how they roast the Columbia Supremo. The coffee here is always good and being able to actually see how they roast it was a treat. It was surprising to see how small the batches are that they produce considering that they deliver coffee to just about every market in SLO county. The attention to detail while roasting is great to see and really lets you know that these people care about what they are doing. Always good coffee and great people, definitely buy some if you stop by or get it at your local market. read more

A friend turned me on to SRC and It's one of the most flavorful coffee's I've ever enjoyed. A real treasure out of the Central Coast. My fav so far is Morning Fog Lifter...this isn't just coffee. They get it when it comes to real flavor. ...and their Customer Service is Epic. Easy order process and speedy delivery. read more

My husband first had this coffee when we stayed at the Sea Pines Resort in Los Osos. I ordered him several items from their website when we got home to Bakersfield. The items arrived within 24 hours! They were also very responsive to questions on their website read more

SLO Roasted Coffee - In Florida, had to take my coffee with me - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Los Osos, California

While in town, since I'm a big coffee drinker I had to visit here to take a tour as well as learn more about their brand. They were friendly and accommodating to do a tour for myself & my two younger Sons only. I appreciated the patience to the Woman providing the tour which was one of the owners as well. My boys rattled off about 40 questions or so, within the first 5 minutes lol. They wanted to learn more about coffee since it's Dads "favorite" drink lol. She was very nice about it & answered them in a way they could understand. On the way out I was given some sample packs to try their coffee. So far I've tried the French vanilla & I love it. Gained a fan from AZ now! I would highly recommend you stopping in to take a tour & support their local brand. Thank you once again! read more

We found these lovely people while searching for a coffee shop and we are so glad we did. They roast a large variety of coffees to select from. We bought several kinds to try out. We will be back for sure. read more

A roaster with a minimal storefront, SLO Roasted is conveniently around the corner from my house. Their coffees, as others have stated, are excellent. At any given time they have numerous single-origin coffees from all over the globe which each have distinctive flavor and profile characteristics. They're really good on full-bodied dark European roasts though, and you have to try their Vienna dark roast - our standard morning brew. read more

Best decaf to us is the Caramel Carmel. I get whole bean and then grind as needed. Smells so so good!!

I'm a bit picky about my coffee. While most people like their coffee burned beyond recognition, I like a nice medium roast so that you can taste the complexity and nutty notes of the brew.. SLO Roasted has a lot of options and does a great job of creating coffee that tastes like coffee instead of ash. I can't speak to their darker roasts, so if you like your coffee with flavor (a medium roast) I can say that I've tried a lot of medium roasts and theirs are awesome. I make my own half-decaf blend of Central Coast regular and Colombian medium roast decaf. Their service is awesome (I pick it up at the store) and they know me by name now. I also prefer to buy local, so this is a great option. It's great to have such a high quality establishment in our little neck of the woods. read more

Yum, yum, yum...did I say yum? This is one of our friend's favorite coffees and he is an aficionado! They give tours at the company, but most local stores carry their coffee. read more

The Central Coast's go to coffee! Always fresh and delicious cup after cup! Great owners supporting the community!

I've been drinking SLO coffee since visiting friends 15 years ago who live in Los Osos, just up the road from San Luis Obispo (SLO). I still remember my first-ever cup of Morning Fog as one unbelievably great cup of java. I was hooked on it and have been ordering fresh-roasted coffee from these guys ever since. ( It was definitely a plus that I happened to be looking at the Morro Bay rock out a kitchen window with my first sips of SLO coffee...) Some of the best coffee on the planet made by an indie operation, with relatively small-batch roasting; dozens of quite tasty coffees, both flavors and unflavored (whole beans or grind); easy online or phone-in ordering & shipping; and important to me, very nice people to deal with. Morning Fog is the starting point for many in the SLO area where it's sold locally, but numerous flavors can be found on local store shelves as well. I only wish they would find a way to fill k-cups, but I decided to turn over a new leaf and revisit my epicurean coffee past: I ordered a few pounds for family and friends and myself tonight. In about 3-4 days when it shows up on my porch I'll crank up our other coffeemaker downstairs. Yessiree, I'm going the full pot route in the KitchenAid drip machine for the first time in a couple years and looking forward to that moment. Out with the uber-convenient Keurig k-cup contraption for the Holidays (at the minimum, I swear it) and in with the slow comfort of drip grind coffee. I'm gonna get my coffee buzz on in high fashion with some Morning Fog wafting through my house, uh-huh. I'm seeing double rainbows right now. BTW-- the company offers 2 free sample packs of your choice with every single order so be sure to ask for them as you order. read more

They make the entire LOVR area smell wonderful when they fire up the roasters, so ***** stars even though their coffee is generally lighter than my preference. But, you can't go far wrong with beans that are literally fresh from the roaster. And if you buy from them direct they'll throw in a bonus 1/4lb sample of another roast- can't beat that with a stick. read more

Mornin' calls for coffee. This is where Rice and I order our coffee from and they ROCK! So many flavors, dark, light, decaf! Ground, whole bean, get it how you want it. If you are in California, place your order in the morning on the phone or even on the site and I'll bet anything you'll get that order the next day! Make a couple of hefty orders (get your friends or co-workers on board) and you'll get a nifty mug free of charge. All orders come with 2 samples, so if you order on line, state your preference in the notes area. Or leave it up to them to decide! My favorites: Belgian Chocolate, German Chocolate Cake, Egg Nog, Swiss Blend and Tanzanian Peaberry. read more

Awesome coffee!! Loved talking with Julie and Chris. Saw Adam (the master roaster) in action and he talked with us about what makes great coffee. Everyone was great and love the Vienna Dark Roast!! Definitely a must have coffee for the morning!! read more

Our office in SLO is fueled by this coffee! Half of us enjoy the seasonal flavors; pumpkin spice, cinnamon gingerbread, & toasted pecan, the other favorites are Vienna dark roast, Mexican Fino, & Guatemalan. Local, yummy, and they provide fantastic service to our office. I purchase a pound for each of my discerning coffee loving family members that live in Monterey & Santa Cruz for Christmas presents each year. This is better than Starbucks (who just teamed up with Monsanto seed.) read more

loved this coffee shop great pick me up walking around beautiful SLO parking is definitely no bueno read more

Excellent service for not being a coffee shop. The staff is always cheerful and happy to see customers and they are very knowledgeable about their products. I have visited twice after working and living near for almost 16 years. I have been drinking their coffee for years from the likes of Ralphs and the old Coffee and Things, but the coffee from here is fresher with each sip than any other place. read more

Came here to buy some coffee for a friend while in Los Osos. They are closed on the weekends so gotta get your bean fix during the week. This is not a coffee shop but a roaster. You can get a free sample while waiting for your beans. Careful this stuff is awesome and addicting! read more

Been ordering and drinking this coffee lcoally for quite a while now. Pricing is good, always makes a quality cup of joe. Think I'm close to trying most of there roast so time to order some of my favorites. Only thing I can complain about is everytime I want to swing by to take a tour they seem to be closed, I'll catch them open one day. read more

This is the best coffee we have ever drank. My wife and I were given a bag by a friend and were hooked. The flavor is bold and their slow roast process provides great taste and very little acidity. We placed an order for 7 pound. By the way their customer service is awesome. They pick up right away, are friendly, knowledgeable and are their to help. If you are a true coffee lover SLO is a must try. read more

I live in Carpinteria but I order my coffee online from SLO Roasted Coffee. It is the best coffee bar none that I have found. Mocha Java is our favorite to wake up to in the morning. One of these days on my way to visit my son in San Francisco I will stop in to the Coffee Shop and show my appreciation. Thanks for being the best coffee ever! Kristin R. read more

This coffee is fantastic. We have family and friends out of town that are addicted to SLO Roasted Coffee so a pound or two as a gift is always welcome to take along on visits. I am super sensitive to caffeine so I almost always buy their decaf. Some flavors of decaf they don't keep in stock but if you call 24 hours ahead they will make any flavor for you. I love keeping their Chocolate Raspberry decaf or their Sugar Cookie decaf around to go with late night dessert. If you visit the warehouse you can purchase directly from them; I've almost always seen Julie who is a kind and friendly person, always a pleasure to see. Once the guys saw my little boy with his face pressed against the glass warehouse view window and invited him in to see the forklift. Everybody was so nice to him. read more

When business people put their heart, soul and passion into a business it is translucent and the business thrives. The employees are proud because they have a job that is something they can brag about and flourish. I experienced such a business, called SLO Roasted Coffee first by a cup of coffee freshly made in a French press and then at the annual open house. I received an invitation from Julie Galloway to attend this innovative experience that included a coffee and pastry pairing, a tour of their facilities, a live roasting demonstration and finally a "cupping" tasting of the coffee. She promised that this event would increase my coffee IQ and she was right. I was thrilled and had no problem recruiting Mr. Bayus to accompany me. SLO Roasted Coffee is lodged in a warehouse in Los Osos, with a retail showing of their coffees, coffee infused edibles and other items made with a coffee base including lotions, soaps and shampoos. I grabbed a large glass mug and quarried into the pairings. SLO Roasted Coffee picked four categories to showcase their brews with awe-inspiring pastries from the Apple Farm Restaurant. Executive Pastry Chef Willette "Willie" Vey produced a spread of tasty treats that complemented the coffees impeccably. I started with the North American pairing with a Mexican Fino Coffee paired with a Dulce De Leche cupcake that led you to believe you were siting on a café in Cabo San Lucas. The cupcake had a crunchy top, caramel swirl through out and abulieta chocolate harmonizing perfectly with the mellow brew. The Mexican Fino was a surprise with mocha hints and nutty traces. They also had a white chocolate dipped almond biscotti (this was my favorite pastry). It was soft with a touch of almond paste, drizzled chocolate and sliced almonds, a taste that was simply delicious. Next was the African Coffee Pairing with Kenya AA bean. This coffee had a light body and a silky texture. Its earthy implications and hints of spice and fruit worked well with the Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake. The cheesecake had a muffin bottom, with a mildly spiced real pumpkin filling and a dollop of whip cream. This coffee was bold and strong and I took some home for my Sunday breakfast. It was also paired with aptly named Lemon lust Bars, a tart lemon tart that surprised delighted all who tried it with the coffee. The Central American pairing featured Costa Rican beans. This coffee was mild, but bold with a hint of floral undertones. It was like swimming in a Cenote of flavor. The pastry was a vanilla cheesecake with tangy cherries drizzled on top. Gary really liked this combination. I preferred the chocolate truffle cheesecake with three layers of different chocolate throughout with white chocolate curls placed on top. The last was a Dark Roasted pairing. The star of this liquid test was a Vienna Dark Roast and it was perfection. Rich texture with light acidity and full bodied chocolate undercurrents made me happily reach for the creamer. The Apple Cardamom Pecan Cake with salted caramel was a winter delight. It was one of the most inspired and wonderful tastings I have ever done. SLO Roasted coffee believes the most important element of coffee is the roasting and they have created a magical product. We moved on to the roasting demonstration. Resembling Willy Wonkas chocolate factory with impeccable cleanliness and beans shooting up and down tubes, large sacks of bean lining the walls and the enthusiastic employees so happy to explain the art of roasting the beans. Callie told us about all the different methods of making a cup of coffee from French press to Keurig and we learned why you should buy your coffee in small qualifies each week from a local roaster. We studied that if you store and treat your beans as you would a great perfume or wine, keeping it away from moister, light and air each cup will be memorable. SLO Roasted Coffee delivers daily to local stores, so there is never a reason to buy more than a weeks worth of beans. SLO Roasted Coffee has been family owned and operated since 1984 and they use the finest Arabica beans from selected growing regions around the world. We saw two fair trade examples and ones from Kona, Columbia and Kenya. Each varietal is roasted in small batches to bring out maximum flavors (that is the art part). They have over 40 flavors to choose from and all are absolutely enchanting. You can stop in the factory too buy your coffee or order it online at www.slorasted.com. read more
