This is my daughter's go-to for morning coffee and I have to say...she is right! Their coffee is so good with such a great coffee flavor and no bitterness to it at all. All of my cold brew coffees during our trip came from here and I really appreciate the staff working here. Obviously they know her by name and what she orders so on the days I went alone...they remembered me, asked questions about us and our trip and made our orders with great skill and care. I highly recommend this store for any coffee you need and they do also sell some delicious baked goods as well. Great coffee store!!!

Nice little coffee and pastry shop right in downtown Pismo Beach. The space is quiet, clean, and…read moreinviting. They make some of their pastries in-house and also bring in items from other local bakeries. The pastry selection was a bit limited when we visited, but the service was friendly and the prices were very reasonable. We tried the dulce de leche croissant and an iced mocha. The iced mocha was excellent. The croissant wasn't the best I've ever had, but it was tasty and a good value for the price. Overall, a pleasant little spot for coffee and a pastry. I'd definitely come back and try some of their other offerings.

Scorpion Bay Coffee in Pismo Beach was such a great find! The staff was friendly and welcoming, and…read moremy coffee came out quickly and tasted amazing. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. The shop itself is cute, cozy, and has a really inviting atmosphere. It's the perfect place to get some work done or just relax for a while. I loved that there were plenty of seating options, including comfortable couches, regular tables and chairs, and high-top seating, so it's easy to find a spot that fits what you're looking for. The only downside is the parking. There isn't a dedicated parking lot, so you'll need to find street parking, which can be a little challenging depending on how busy the area is. Other than that, I had a wonderful experience and would definitely come back the next time I'm in Pismo Beach!

Absolutely satisfying cinnamon roll experience! We got two contrasting topping choices (Maple…read moreBacon & Cherry Cream) and loved both options as we ate them out on the pier seating. The shop is very cute and the option to watch the rolls get cut, needed, and shaped through the transparent dividers offered a fun experience while we warmed our buns in their customer-accessible microwave. As with any Pismo Beach business in the downtown area, your experience with crowds will vary depending on if you go on a weekday or weekend. The shop will be notably bustle-filled with lines if you go during the hot days of Friday through Sunday.

More like room temperature but absolutely satisfying. More on the bread side rather than cake like. Reasonable for the value at five dollars each.

Appreciate how different in comparison to others. Would certainly make a return.

The perfect spot to do some work on your laptop or meet a friend for coffee and food. Their coffee is absolutely delicious and they have a good variety of breakfast and lunch options. I highly recommend their iced lattes, smoothies, and croissant / breakfast sandwiches! Service is always friendly and can be a tad slower sometimes, but generally expected in the generally quieter, sleepy town of Shell Beach (except during the busy summer months). Overall, the atmosphere and vibe of Steaming Bean is just perfection. I love this place!

It's a small little shop inside but they have a quiet patio seating out in the back that is shaded. Also they have their own homemade sourdough. I got the roast beast sandwich was great, super filling, fresh ingredients, and tasty. My husband got the saucy pig, it has pulled pork inside with a side of pasta salad. The pasta salad was good but just a tad on the salty side. My kids had the lil clicker, nice bun with turkey meat and mayo combo. The kids enjoyed it. They have a clean restroom for their customers. Food will be brought out to you. Wonderful place for a quick bite.
