Libertine Coffee Bar – Coffee Shop in San Luis Obispo, CA

Very conflicted review. The staff is so nice, they’re all very kind and attentive. The coffee is great not super bitter. The shop itself is very nice and clean but the food is where I’m extremely dissatisfied. Their food used to be SO good. But recently it’s gotten REALLY bad. This time I got the avocado toast. This is usually a safe thing to get as it’s hard to mess up avocado and bread but when I took my first bite I nearly spit it out. I’m not sure what they do to the bread but it tasted like it was deep fried 3 times in week old oil. My fiancé got the breakfast burrito and was also disappointed by it. It was overly greasy and barely had any bacon. I’ll come back for the coffee but I think I’ll stay away from the food from now on.

First time in SLO and decided to check this shop out, did not disappoint. Love this shop!!! Super good food & drinks! Their breakfast burrito was sooo good! Yo I was in heaven! Will need to come back and try out other food items available here. They also got this jar where they can help you decide on a drink if you’re indecisive like myself. Love the vibe. It’s also attached to its brewing company I think it’s also a brunch shop. Super cute. Friendly coworker who took our order!

I clearly caught this coffee shop on an off day especially based on previous reviews. I did not order the burrito and since there was only one person working, I ordered just a latte and an oatmeal. I threw the out meal out and I wound up tossing the coffee too and walked to another shop instead. The good news is that Libertines is very clean, the decor is great and the guy working there was fabulous. The other people stopping in were obviously locals so that is a good sign as to quality of restaurants. Despite the one miss, I’ll certainly try this spot again when back in SLO.
