What a delight to stroll upon a Lokum on Higuera Street in beautiful San Luis Obispo or "SLO" as locals seem to tag it in their marketing. Having visited the famous Istanbul Bazar several years a go and purchased Turkish lamps for our home, we indeed feel "Right at home"! In the SLO Lokum store. Over the decades we have appreciated the sugary Turkish Delight and baklava treats. It has been both of our late father's favorite deserts and my Dad live in Altayna, Turkiye for a decade so I can appreciate the delicious offerings as after diner offering. Our host was extremely friendly, helpful and generous in our sampling and guidance about our inquiries. We left with a special experience and amble confectionery items for our travels back to San Francisco! Highly recommend Lokum!

I decided to go with the dark chocolate lips with olallieberry. It was absolutely delicious with a big burst of olallieberry. They do not go skimpy in the filling. I am so happy to have an organic chocolate shop located so close to home. I was going to purchase something online but remembered that Sheila's shop was in down town. She offers a lot of different sizes and options. The chocolate is a little pricey but I am willing to pay for chocolate that is good, local, and organic. Can't wait to try more of her products. It was hard not to buy the whole store! I wish they offered samples.

Both times I got a hot vanilla bean latte with two extra shots and it was perfection. Literally no complaints. My boyfriend got an iced americano the first day and tried a hot golden mylk on the second day. He also enjoyed his drinks! The golden mylk is a perfect cold day drink that will make you feel warm and cozy inside. We also had the chance to try their pastries and got an almond croissant with jelly and a goat cheese and roasted leak scone. Im not the biggest fan of jelly filled pastries, but this one was actually really good. It paired well with the crispy exterior and not too sweet. I really enjoyed it! The goat cheese and roasted leak definitely had complimenting flavors, but it wasn't his favorite scone he has. He wished there was more goat cheese versus it just being on top. When is SLO, I will be back!

Their house-brand HONEYCO is paying above fair-trade prices for beans & using a proprietary roasting process to create some clever blends like MATTE BLACK DARK ROAST and the delicious for everyday CLASSIC ESPRESSO (freshly ground for in-house coffee drinks, along with a water-processed DECAF). Choose your favorite + original housemaid syrups (WILDERNESS w citrus, maple; SUNSHINE w citrus, cinnamon; UNITY w lavender, honey). When rating this high, I'm considering food (pastries) in addition to coffee/practices and service/ambiance, and this spot knocks it out of the park on all counts. The CORTADO (coffee-forward) is medium-roast, savory & balanced. A LAVENDER LATTE is gently floral, not too sweet, still coffee-focused. The CAPPUCCINO is comforting, a prime American version of the classic. Pastries go quickly, and I'm coming back time after time for the DARK CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY SCONE - large hunks of chocolate with tart raspberry in a doughy scone, crowned in rock sugar. They're also serving a signature SCOUT COOKIE - like the Doubletree recipe (warmed on request). It's an absolute DESTINATION location with light, bright workspace indoors, lots of tables outdoors (78% chance of sun, any day of the year here!). They have 3 locations total, although Gianna, Andrés, and Mya are friendly faces to make returning to SLO my preference. Like most of their peers, you can enjoy it here, pick-up, or ship by subscription. They also have some very cool HATS and 10% off BOOKS while they last!

I totally understand that it's annoying to have to move when you're in the middle of something so I'm not like saying anything really bad about that. It's just like my experience when I walked in. And the place is like really whimsical like there's the sugary pops lollipops were probably the cheapest thing maybe that I saw on there and there's around the world type bags which my friend thought that it would be candy from around the world stuffed in there kind of like mystery bags I'm pretty sure her answer was that it was for display, but like I wasn't really listening because I was distracted by the Willy Wonka movie with the theater chairs and it's just like a really cool corner in there But everything was expensive for sure. None our budget for the end of the trip spare change. There was ice cream options and I think there were some Harry Potter themed things which were pretty cool

It tasted like a syrupy waffle. I also liked how smooth the ice cream was. What I didn't like about this was how hard it was though. I was given a plastic spoon to eat this with and it was hard to take spoonfuls of the ice cream to the point that I was afraid the spoon might break. I'm wondering if this is because it's a nitrogen-infused ice cream. Regardless of the texture, this was still a good ice cream. Additionally, the service was pretty good and there's some seating inside the store or out in the courtyard.
