    The parking is free. The service was slow. The avocado toast was delicious and the smoothie too. The lavender haze tasted too much like perfume. The ambiance is busy and fast.

    Very cute coffee shop in Shell beach that serves great coffee and treats. Oatmeal and along with my latte was a great way to start the morning. The staff is super friendly. Come here to get your coffee fix and to start your morning!

    We stopped by Steaming Bean after a mini trip to Shell Beach, and the location couldn't be more convenient - just off the main strip. Super cute spot with plenty of seating options: a dog-friendly front patio, lots of indoor tables, and a huge back patio with ocean views. The breakfast menu had great choices like burritos, avocado toast, and more. We ordered the breakfast burritos and they were delicious, especially with the variety of salsas that you can grab from the fridge. We got oat milk cappuccinos that were tasty as well. The staff was friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

    Great coffee shop with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Baristas were friendly. We enjoyed our lattes so much we returned a second time on our road trip. Hubby ordered iced snickers latte and I ordered grasshopper. Both were EXCELLENT! Second visit hubby ordered carmello which is vanilla bean and caramel. He loved it. I got coconut-caramel. My drink was too strong, but that doesn't take away from my overall experience and willingness to return.

    Got some yummy scrambled eggs. Ate on the back patio. Not much shade. Close quarters... got to simultaneously be in on a bible study and old man's game with wooden tiles. Inside was packed with kids on their laptops. My latte was good. Servers were nice enough. Parking was on the street or behind the building-- but not difficult.

    patio, scenery

    holy guacamole this place is excellent. bryon victor, my waitress, was extremely caring and overall made this experience one that i will never forget. i am most certainly suggesting this place to others. the atmosphere is out of this world, with the greenery and seats outside. please go here if you're nearby

    We love this little spot each year when we come to Pismo on vacation! We walk from The Seacrest to this gem of a coffee shop. My daughter highly recommends the Cookies & Cream Smoothie! She wants to come back before we leave to get another! We didn't try any food, but saw many in the shop eating & enjoying their drinks. It is a small, cute little shop that brings peace, especially in the patio. A fun stop if you are a coffee lover! We will be back!!

    A super cute coffee shop with plenty of seating (indoor and outdoor). Free wifi making it a perfect place to study and the food and drink was good too. Service was fast and employees were super nice and helpful with any questions. Highly recommend!

    A must-stop, in Pismo Beach!…read more Every time we return to Pismo Beach, we have to make a stop at Zorros for breakfast (they are open for lunch and dinner too)! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by Eric at the door -- and it's always nice when the first person you see makes you feel welcome. He walked us to our table, chatted with us, and even remembered us from 7 months ago, including where we sat! It seems like remembering guests is a theme in this town, and we love that hometown feeling. This visit, I made sure to take photos of the food, and we also left with a bag full of their homemade salsa and hot sauce. I only wish they sold these at grocery stores back home in Los Angeles because we would definitely buy them! Thankfully they ship!!! Melissa was our server and was wonderful -- friendly, attentive, and very accommodating with my husband's dairy allergy. My husband ordered the vegetarian burrito, and wow... it was packed with fresh green veggies you could literally see through the tortilla - my see photos! I asked Melissa for a recommendation between the shredded chicken burrito and the carne asada burrito, and she suggested the carne asada. I took her advice and ordered it as a wet burrito with sour cream -- and it did not disappoint! We love the friendly service, the homemade flavors, and the welcoming atmosphere at Zorros. We're already looking forward to our next visit to Pismo Beach and another breakfast here!

They moved to a bigger building across the street from their little hole in the wall, which is awesome. Plenty of seating outdoor and a good 20ish seats indoors (which is a whole lot more than before ) This place gets busy especially on weekends.. so get there early or be patient - trust me, it is worth the wait! Would i go back? YES... every time I visit the area!!

The owner is friendly and nice as are all of her employees. They have a great selection on their menu so there is something for everyone. I'm not a huge breakfast person so I opted for their granola yogurt bowl and it was so good! It has orange blossom honey which adds the perfect amount of sweetness to it, and you can never go wrong with almond granola (it's my favorite). My husband got their Portuguese burrito, which he really enjoyed. We also ordered a white mocha and caramel latte, both of which had great flavor! Overall we had a wonderful experience and will definitely be back on our next trip to Pismo.

In addition I noticed that when a server came out to clean tables and dirty dishes, they would put them in the sink and then just to grab food items to serve. They didn't even wash their hands! After I noticed that I had been waiting for a long time, I asked the person at the register about my food. She looked over to the rack and my food was just sitting there for an ample amount of time. All she could say was (very awkwardly) sorry. I decided to keep my cool and hoped the food was going to be okay, but when I got home there was hair in my plate.

We usually stay near the pier, and this place is less than a 30-second walk, which makes it perfect for a quick morning coffee run. Both times we've been here, the coffee has been excellent. On our first visit, we got iced coffees, and they were great. They offer a wide variety of milk options, creamers, and syrups, along with the usual sugars and sugar substitutes, so you can customize your drink pretty much however you want. They also have a full menu beyond coffee, including iced tea, lattes, chai, hot cocoa, and Americanos. For food, they offer pastries, Belgian waffles, avocado toast, breakfast sandwiches, and breakfast burritos. I haven't personally tried the food yet, but everything I've seen coming out looks really good. On this most recent visit, we tried their affogatos, and they did not disappoint. We both went with vanilla, and it was exactly what you'd expect. The espresso was made fresh, and the balance between the hot espresso and cold ice cream was perfect. Seating inside is limited to a few bar stools, but if you walk just outside and around the corner, there's a breezeway seating area with comfortable chairs and a nice coastal breeze. It's a great spot to sit and relax for a bit. Overall, this is a great coffee spot in Pismo Beach. Consistently good drinks, quick service, and a convenient location. We'll definitely keep coming back.

The sea bass comes with a mix of mushrooms and white beans along with a red wine sauce. The combination of textures between the flaky fish, soft beans, and chewy mushrooms makes for a great mouthful and the acidic and flavorful sauce brings all the ingredients together.

We walked to the entry way, less than a couple yards from the hostess booth and in clear view of her to be signaled over. In the meantime, another couple walked up requesting a table, instead of being instructed to return, they stood there and waited persistently to be seated. As I noticed a table clearing, I walked up to check with the hostess to ensure we would be getting that table. The other couple took that as their cue to insists that they get the table that was being cleared. Instead of seating us, the hostess gave the excuse that there was no reservations and no naming for tables, and instead gave the now open table to the extremely pushy couple demanding a table they were 2nd in line for. Had we not been adamantly instructed to wait and check in again in a couple minutes coupled with the fact that we were literally sitting at a table within view AND normal talking distance for her to say "we are ready", she caved in to the rude couple's persistence in being given that table. Catering to customers like that surely isn't the best choice and had others, like us, walk away. We did speak with the supervisor on shift. He did his best to make things right, but at this point the entire situation left us little appetite to dine here.
