    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!

    Ordered a vanilla almond milk latte and Milky Way oat milk latte, we waited 10 minutes for the coffee and the drink was warm with ice cubes floating at the top. After a good stir, it was just "okay". Then we waited 30+ minutes for a grilled cheese... employees are very slow and seemed lazy. Not sure if they were actually employees or youth group volunteers. Coffee 4/10 Grilled cheese 6.5/10

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Bf and I needed a boost before our hike. We each got cold brews . I added a splash of half and half! Cute spot. Cozy with a few people reading and enjoying their coffee at the shop. Clean place ! Good customer service.

    Even though this is a coffee shop it actually has the best paninis I've ever had. I had the roast beef panini and it blew my mind.

    We really enjoyed this breakfast hidden gem! I live how everything is sourced locally and made with…read morefresh, quality ingredients. The menu has a bunch of fun breakfasts that was a nice change of pace from the omelettes and pancakes that other places are making. I ordered the sunrise tacos and they were pretty good. The corn tortillas were solid, and I would say everything blended really well together flavor wise. And everything was cooked perfectly. The rest of the family felt maybe a little more neutral toward their breakfasts but I very much enjoyed my meal. Seating is limited inside so you might be left with just outdoor seating, but turnover rate it pretty decent. Overall, fair prices and quality food that J enjoyed. Probably my favorite breakfast place so far in pismo

    This experience involved me getting my food to go. As I was waiting on my food I noticed that…read moreeveryone in and out of the kitchen did not have their hair covered or pulled back. The individual working the register has bakery items on a rack that is eye level to her. She is constantly flopping her hair back and forth. 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.

You can roam around or sit and enjoy the fresh produce food or candy. Also iconic for fresh PIES which ran out by the time I got there in the afternoon.

Bought one of the triple berry pies and apple crisps to try and they were delicious! The filling for the berry pie was really good slightly tart and sweet. If you like pie crust, the crust was well done too- flaky and crisp. The apple crisp was soooo good- the topping was really tasty and the filling was delicious. I'd go back to try their other pies and hand pies. Feeding the sheep, cow, goats and llamas $3 a head lettuce was so fun! The animals loooove eating the lettuce and it's an enjoyable experience for kids and adults alike. The fields with bales of hay to climb and pose on and also the flower fields to walk around in was also nice too! There was a hay ride, but we were not able to make it-- maybe next time. The food was just mediocre. The pulled pork sandwich had too much sauce on it and it was hard to eat because the bread just fell apart. I wish there were a little more coleslaw on top because it cut the sweetness of the sauce. Would not order again. The tritip sandwich was just okay- lots of thinly sliced meat, but flavor was just alright. Would not order again. The plain hotdog was actually pretty good- it was a big hotdog. Would probably order again for my kid haha. The highlight of the meal was the Brussels sprouts (no pecans and subbed Parmesan for the bleu cheese)! Nicely roasted and seasoned. Definitely would order again! The strawberry lemonade and the oallaberry lemonade were really good- not too sweet and very fruity. Definitely would order again Would definitely come back to spend a couple of hours here!
