Apparently this is where all the cool kids hang out! This cafe was filled with students studying, and I totally get why- this cafe is tasty and has a great atmosphere. Coffee was delicious (banana bread mocha) and gluten free muffin was also yummy

I love this cafe! They have a really neat back area with plants and sofas, when the sun is out this is probably the perfect spot to go. I also highly recommend the iced matcha with lavender sweetener :)

The iced mocha was amazing as was the coffee cake. My friend and I sat and worked on a joint project for a couple hours out on the back porch. It was beautiful and comfortable. Even though there were quite a few other people there we had no problem hearing each other. It was a very nice atmosphere. They are also dog friendly so my little guy was able to sit outside with us which is always appreciated! I will be going back for sure.

If you’re on a first date with a potential new situationship and you proudly pull out your Linnaea’s Café drink punch card, but they don’t immediately whip out their own (preferably a more battle-worn, coffee) stained version of the punch card—just do yourself a solid and end the date right there. Linnaea’s is hands-down the best spot in SLO to journal while romanticizing your life. The place is full of little secrets—don’t believe me? Ask the koi fish. They know everything. Oh, and the jazz nights? Absolutely killer. Go romanticize your life at this sacred cafe right now what are you waiting for.

Stopped at this local coffee shop there other day. Was actually pretty packed even though Scout odd just a few feet away. They have nice seating both indoors and out. Apparently they do music in the back sometimes. Ordered a vegan pumpkin muffin, it was amazing. I keep thinking about how good it was. Icing on top with a little bit of cinnamon and it was filled with a generous amount of chocolate chips. Ordered a cold brew and a hot latte with almond milk. Both were of good quality. I did enjoy the flavor of their espresso. My one gripe was that it just took a long time to make the drinks, but again, they were pretty busy and there isn’t that much space behind the counter to make the drinks. Definitely a great SLO haunt that I would visit again.
