    Chilaquiles! So good a must try.

    Great spot in San Luis Obispo. Chilaquiles was phenomenal excellence. Service will definitely be back. Nice outdoor seating for beautiful days in SLO.

    St. Patrick's Day Sandwich Cake
    Valeria G.

    The best and biggest cinnamon roll I've ever had! The pictures don't do the baked goods justice. Absolutely recommend the cakes they have on display as well! The Saint Patrick's day Pistachio Lemon Special was amazing as well! They do weekly pastry specials! And the grilled cheese I was given to sample is something y'all gotta try!

    Chilaquiles and French toast
    Anmol L.

    The workers were nice and helpful! The food did take a decent amount of time to come out, but it was very good! I really enjoyed my chilaquiles and am looking forward to come back to try the huevos rancheros. I wasn't the biggest fan of the French toast, as I have a crazy sweet tooth but they were more of a healthy adult version. They have both indoor and outdoor seating! Overall I think it's a great place to go and have a nice breakfast!

    Food took about 15 minutes after order. Plenty of parking in the front and enough space to seat. We ordered breakfast burrito, burger and coffees it's was amazing. Before you exit the door you can write the note where you are coming from. Love the atmosphere, We will gladly return if we find ourselves in the city again.

    Quiche Lorraine & salad, chicken tortilla soup, and a perfect cappuccino.

    We had to visit the bank in SLO so I suggested a quick lunch at a little place I discovered when serving on jury duty years ago. What used to be Breaking Bread is now a nonprofit, The Bridge Cafe, and it's AMAZING! My husband had chicken tortilla soup and I had quiche. Both were delicious! Afterward, I asked what the big cookies were in the bakery case, and the man behind the counter gave me one! It's a chewy ginger cookie, yummy and HUGE! I'm ready to sign up for jury duty again as long this place is here.

    Burrito

    An absolute gem of a brunch spot! The mole chilaquiles had the three F's: Flavor, Fire, and Freshness! Each bite was a symphony of taste, with the perfect balance of spice and richness. Nice ambiance with both indoor and outdoor seating and friendly service. Highly recommend trying them out!! Very reasonable prices too!

The chai, however, fell far short of expectation. While I appreciate the effort of a house blend, it sadly lacked any spice or uniqueness. It was liquid, it was brown, and it had some sweet to it. But didn't get any hint there was spice. That may be what they were going for, but it definitely won't make my list of chais to come back for. On the plus side, the egg tartine was tasty and well prepared! And we had a wonderful conversation with a local at the outdoor seating area. Overall, pleasant eating experience, but not my cuppa chai.

    A phenomenal California Burrito…read more There's dozens of dozens of dining options in downtown SLO. I looked at various menus and online reviews. Every item seemed to be priced 25-50% more than I wanted to spend. Walked past Kreuzberg and initially thought it was only coffee and pastries. The whole layout is immaculate. Outdoor seating, indoor group seating and even a few private seats in the corner that give it a VIP ambiance. Hidden inside was a narrow lounge area with turntables with a bar area at the end. A DJ was set to start at 8pm. The music genre schedule varies. I will return. The burrito was top tier. Side of chips added to the filling satisfaction. Only downside was the price but if you add the quality service, cleanliness, vibe and atmosphere...the value is there.

    On my quest to find chai in every city I visit, was excited to try Kreuzberg after reading their…read morereviews. It was past 7pm and the place was still hoppin' with groups on the outdoor patio, back room lounge and main area. It has more of a restaurant/club vibe than a coffee shop which gives it a special charm. When asked about their chai the friendly barista was happy to share that they don't use dry powder, they use a spicy concentrate. That's one plus!! But, it's not a house brew, it's basic Third Street Chai you buy off the shelf at the local grocer, chef supply, or natural foods store :( To their credit, they heat it up well and top it with a fancy cinnamon design on the milk foam. When asked if there is a local chai, the barista (who is a chai fan) couldn't think of any. This explains why the local reviews were so good for mediocre concentrate. While the chai quest was a miss here in SLO, Kreuzberg is still a pretty cool spot, with a fun, social vibe, friendly, helpful staff, and some tasty looking items on their menu (just not a stop for chai).

We didn't realize the coffee shop was inside the complex and accidentally parked next door. We apologized and moved, but one nearby gentleman seemed disproportionately upset by our innocent mistake despite there being plenty of open spaces. As for the drinks, my husband ordered the Choco Latte and I got the iced Matchas Gracias. Both were decent. My matcha was a bit grainy, but the vanilla cold foam was tasty and helped balance it out. The space itself is charming, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. Overall, nothing was wrong with the experience, but the drinks weren't memorable enough to bring me back, and the rocky start with parking left me feeling a little less enthusiastic than I'd hoped. I'm glad we tried it, but I probably wouldn't make a special trip to return.
