The Nest
“The ambiance was very eclectic ,my daughter took me here for a birthday brunch and the service was good and the food was delicious .We were so comfy with the different places to sit here and also the the cool things to look at everywhere and our server was so friendly”
“Best variety of beers in town for both on site and to go.Kid-friendliness: Shares it's seating space with Negranti Creamery (ice cream). Have a beer while kids have ice cream.”
“Very chill environment, owners are lovely. Wonderful wines to choose from. I think the energy there is very relaxed. A great place to stop in for a beverage and a light Charcuterie board for a nibble while out walking or shopping. Its a nice place.”
“They always have the best selection of IPAs and Seltzers. Their Seltzers are out of this world. I have not tried a flavor I haven't liked. Tonight we had the POG and Creamsicle. POg is now one of my tops. Their Beer list is also really impressive. We always find a great IPA to sip on. Always a good tune going and a great vibe. We bring our cards everywhere we go and this is a great place to play a few hands and sip amazing brews.”
“I've been to my fair share of fine dining establishments, but this place left me speechless. Initially I made a reservation, based on their current menu and when I discovered what I was craving dropped off, they made special effort to get it for me off menu. From the moment I walked in, the front of house to back, knew who I was and what I came for. I was on a mission. Couldn't have felt more welcome. A seat at the chef bar, provided for ample interaction with the head chef and opportunity to pick up cooking tips I could leave with. Food was outstanding! The amouse bouche for that evening were oysters on half shell, and given the presentation and obvious professionalism displayed by all, my wife gave it a chance at her first raw oyster in her young 50 years on this planet. She's now a believer.....so long as I can find a comparable establishment to this. Pro tip....if you ever have the opportunity to try Iberico pork (I call it the nutty swine from abroad), you best be sure to get it. Better than beef, and I'll die on that hill. Wish I had gotten pic of dessert, but I was already coma bound. For me personally, it was most satisfying to see my home town and currently vacation residence, significantly come up in the world culinarily. Actually proud! See you soon.....HB”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“Delicious! We’ve been twice now as we travel home from visiting Morro Bay. Nice patio with umbrellas, very friendly service, very clean including the restroom and delicious authentic Mexican food!”
“I visited this restaurant when I stopped by Paso Robles.It's a good restaurant where you can enjoy a taste that goes beyond what you'd get in authentic Japan.I'll visit again.”
“I had the Nashville chicken sandwich and it is by far my favorite chicken sandwich in the Central Coast. They put a generous amount of mayo and chicken was very flavorful and cooked perfectly. Also had the Western burger and it was overall a good meal. Came here on a Thursday night and it was super quiet with no other customers, but the owners were very kind and attentive. Will be back!”
Restaurants with Delivery
“One of the coolest bars I’ve been to. Amazing vibes all around, fast and friendly customer service. Lots of free games, chess, board games and more. Also the pool table is free, and in great condition. The bartender plays vinyl, which was a nice surprise. The decor is amazing! Best yet, they have a great drink selection.”
“This little coffee shop is absolutely amazing. My wife and even my kids drive from Tulare, CA just to stop and say hi and grab a coffee (the blended Chai is our favorite) my wife and kids used to stop every day when they lived here and even now we make the drive for some. It's worth the short stop if you're passing through for some of the best coffee and friendliest service you will ever receive.”
“I had their tacos at the brewery event and all I can say is Wow! Super delicious! ?? You have to visit this place. Family business m, super friendly and the meat is super fresh and tasty. Don’t think twice, just go for it! ? #SpotOn”
“I just love this place! I have been wanting to come here for a long time but never had. I have now been twice in less than 24 hours! My family had the chicken pot pie yesterday and the crawfish pot pie today as well as the guava empanada. We all absolutely loved the food! I can't wait to try other options there.”

“Great spot in Atascadero. They are fairly new and took over the old Burrito Express location. Though they have the same menu I was told they are not affiliated. Ordering through their web site or app "from the restaurant" is super easy. I had a chile relleno burrito and it was delicious! Came back two weeks later for another. This time I also ordered a carnitas burrito for my Gramma. She loved it. Not too many places in the north county to rave about when it comes to Mexican food but this place has not disappointed. Another important thing is the prices. Very reasonable!! I have paid much more for much worse. Staff is friendly. Inside the restaurant is a big space for dining and attached they have a banquet room that can be rented for parties! Congratulations to the new owners I wish you much success! Can't wait to come back and try another dish.”
“what’s not to love… support a great family business. thankful for their friendly and attentive service, delicious guac and everything! yum. will be back for sure! :)”
“Whenever I have the opportunity to work in Atascadero I take advantage of having my breakfast here, the service is the best, they lived, they always remember my favorite dish and that's great.If you visit them, you can't leave without trying the Best CREPES you can tell that the cook gives his heart.They really love what they do.”
“Great Beer & Great Community Space - Two years ago I wanted to have a Christmas Party but not at my house. I reached out to Wild Fields because we had been there several times over the previous several years and had alwasy found the beer good, the food easy, and the space friendly. They worked with me to host our party, plan for the food and drink for everybody and even gave us a great space in the back. Between that and folks buzzing out and back frequently to go bowling or play other games (we brought a bucket of quarters for everyone) it was a great evening and I nice change-up from having it at our house. Fun Night!”
“I went up to Atascadero to visit family this weekend and came across this bakery. Soon Saturday we decided to stop in and see what they had. Silly me asked if they had any specials like a Bakers Dozen, as if they were selling donuts. I felt embarrassed after I heard what I had asked but I couldn't take it back. I ended up buying only 8 pastries but the young man behind the counter still gave me a discount! Then just before leaving to come back home today we stopped in to buy more, so that we could bring some pastries home with us since they were so delicious! I got 10 pastries this time and I didn't ask any silly questions this time either. The young man once again helped me out by giving me free pastries. I will definitely be stopping there again when I visit again. The pastries are delicious and the service is great! This place is a great place to visit!”
“One of the few great places to go where you can eat at the bar . Food is definitely much better than most other similar spots and the bartenders do know how to make a drink how they should be.”
“Absolutely the most delicious Ramen and vegetarian rolls you will ever have !! Fabulous service great staff! Super clean and loved the ambiance. Super easy to get to from traveling route.”
“We love Azteca Market! Especially their products! Their platanos are so good, along with their tamales de elote! Delicious! My family loves the family meals too! We get the Azteca family meal and the pupusas! Tip if you have a large family get an extra order of meat and some tortillas. We enjoyed the homemade ones. ?”
“Ordered a Chile relleno a la carte, good value for the price. Best Chile relleno I have ever had, hands down. It had lots of cheese, the batter was flavorful and the sauce was excellent. Also ordered two cheese enchilada combo to go. Nice big portion. The beans were delicious, rice was light and fluffy, enchiladas were amazing. The chips however were stale.. I'm sure the chips are fresh during the day. I did go late, 30 mins before closing. The restaurant was empty and there was no music playing. The decor is a little plain. Nice comfy booths with plenty of room for a big guy. My Modelo cheladas were very good as well. I'll definitely be back and recommend the Chile relleno to anyone who will listen.”
“It was Christmas night, and we decided to order from Gogo Thai. I’ve had their lunch specials but their dinner was amazing. First of all, they were super nice on the phone. Very busy (but so sweet)- and we had a wonderful, delicious dinner that we brought home. We were sort of loyal to another restaurant, but we may be GoGo Thai fans now. Great job! I highly recommend their drunken noodles and hot and sour soup.Vegetarian options: I don’t eat meat, and there was lots of options to add tofu, and then the tofu was wonderful and delicious”
“Carbon 6 is a new favorite. Went in for a quick glass of wine and stayed way too long for the great conversation with the owners and DELICIOUS food and wine. We got the burrata and a bottle of a red blend and both were fantastic. Can't wait to go back!”

“One of the best places on the Central Coast. This hidden gem is on the 41, between Downtown Atown and Morro Bay. This renovated garage/barn turn modern ranch chic is the home to a fresh/natural/modern culinary experience. Once you enter you are greeted and have menu's on a little table at the door. When you're ready, you go up and order. I ordered the Rock Burger (Beyond Meat and no Bacon), comes with fries, the Bahn Mi Tots and Beer Battered Onion Rings. The Rock Burger is what you want. Beautiful fluffy Brioche bun from Back Porch Bakery, Central coast creamery blue cheese bringing the funk/creamy/saltness to cut through the burger, the caramelized onions for sweetness, the fresh mixed greens for that earthy bite, and whole grain mustard sauce for a little more acidity. The fries are done to salty, crispy, yet soft inside perfection. The Beer battered onion rings are served the a beautiful house made ranch and bbq sauce. Cooked perfect, just wish there was more. And the Star of the show, Bahn Mi Tots. The mix of tots, fresh vegetables, creamy sauce, soft meets crunch, vinegar balanced by fatty creaminess of the sauce, gives you full Umami! Just an awesome concept, that works to the fullest! The power went out while we were there with our friends from out of town and instead of kicking us out, they brought over candles (which was made by someone dinning in at the time) and asked if we needed anything. This is truly a first class operation and am honored to say they are in my own backyard. We've introduced many to them and we'll introduce many more.*What happened to the CHEESE CURDS?*”
“The ambiance was very eclectic ,my daughter took me here for a birthday brunch and the service was good and the food was delicious .We were so comfy with the different places to sit here and also the the cool things to look at everywhere and our server was so friendly”
“This is the kind of place you want to come and just hang out at for hours. They have a wide variety of ciders and meads to try. I opted for the $3 tasters this visit and was not disappointed. Had the chance to try many different creations and find what suited my taste the best. The bartender (did not catch his name) was very friendly and totally encouraged my tasting of as many as I liked. There was the cutest dog roaming around and sunbathing in the front window. Made the place feel cozy. Large patio out back to enjoy our beautiful Atascadero weather.”
“As a very picky person, I can safely say the food is authentic and cooked with love and integrity. Susy is a fantastic person, strong in faith and very hospitable. If you're driving by, I highly recommend this place; you will feel right at home. My family had tacos, tortas, and quesadillas, and they were all delicious.”

“Such an interesting concept for a coffee shop, as it's attached to a church and everyone working here is a volunteer, with the exception of the two managers. The inside is wonderfully decorated, with a very bohemian and relaxing vibe. It's a nice big open space with plenty of indoor seating and an adorable high top bar area. Their menu has lots of great coffee, tea, boba and smoothie options! I ordered the peanut butter, chocolate protein smoothie and oh my gosh was it absolutely delicious! Probably one of the best smoothies I've ever had from a coffee shop or restaurant. It was creamy and the consistency was just perfect, not too thin or watery. I highly, highly recommend this smoothie! The young woman that took my order is one of the managers and was so pleasant and lovely! Even for being attached to a church, this spot is very cute and conveniently just around the corner from downtown Atascadero.”
“Delicious! We’ve been twice now as we travel home from visiting Morro Bay. Nice patio with umbrellas, very friendly service, very clean including the restroom and delicious authentic Mexican food!”
“Got an iced black and white mocha, and it was perfection. Not too sweet, lovely balance of flavor. Lemon poppyseed muffin was moist, bright, and delicious. Sweet, friendly service in a chill, airy atmosphere. I’ll stop by again.”
“Always great coffee and home made, gluten free pastries! Wi-Fi is strong, and it's a nice break to catch-up in the middle of the day.Dietary restrictions: Excellent gluten free pastries!”
“Generally it's a 5 star experience. The last two times, despite repeating "grilled whole onion", it' has turned into no onions.I'm sure that will get better. Everything is delicious, and way better than mcds, or such.”
“Came in for Galentines Day and everything was wonderful. Cute place and really attentive service. We all had mimosas which were large and strong! Haha. My country omelet breakfast was indulgent and super savory. Everything you want out of a greasy spoon type place but better! Prices are reasonable for good sized portions. All in all it was a very pleasant first experience here and will absolutely return!”
“When I lived in Atascadero, Hush Harbor was the place to go to get the best croissants in the county. The Black Forest ham croissant in the morning sold out quick. If you're fortunate enough to get one, you'll love it! A croissant that is flaky beyond comparison. I've lived in Central Oregon for 4 + years and have not found a better croissant than those at Hush Harbor. The quiche offerings are quite tasty too!”
“This is my go-to Thai place in the area, whether you order takeout, or you dine there, the service and food are always excellent. So very delicious, and very consistent in quality and execution. My favorite is the drunken noodles, but the curries are wonderful too, as well as the soups and all the varieties of fried rice. You can't go wrong. Superb.”

“the female bartender was very friendly. She noticed my Armenian last name and told us how her mom was involved in creating a non profit organization to bring a very unique dog breed from Armenia called Gampr. You should check out these dogs. They can become massive. Back to the experience. Good was good! It was in a Marriott after all.”
“Our dining experience was outstanding in all regards. Great, fast, but not hurried service and delivery of food. Very friendly and knowledgeable wait staff. Excellent food, from the bread and appetizer to the main courses and dessert. Pleasant ambiance, and surprisingly quiet even though tables remained full while we were dining. Can't wait to return.”
“Pizza express is a hidden gem , they have a variety of meals , if you want quality pizza and hot wings with affordable prices then you are at the right place 5+++”

El Taconazo
“Yesterday was my first time going in. food was really good. Can't believe I've been driving by this place for years. I've never bothered to stop, period. I will try to make this a regular lunch blaze for me.”

“I visited this restaurant when I stopped by Paso Robles.It's a good restaurant where you can enjoy a taste that goes beyond what you'd get in authentic Japan.I'll visit again.”
“Such. Great. Beer! This place is tiny but mighty. The patio is comfy and there is a great list of beers to choose from. Get a flight in a baking tray and ask their recommendations - he pointed me to some things I'd never have tried and it was fantastic!”

“The sandwiches are great, but the pickle we ordered on the side was not at all fresh. Minus one star to food for that one. The service rocks and the place was clean and upbeat despite the high transient population in the parking lot.”
“Best juice spot in slo county hands down. The consistency and ingredients they use in each juice is superb. The food is really great too, you can't go wrong here. Try the avocado toast!”
“Dark Nectar is the bomb! Prepare to be CAFFEINATED!My husband and I, being relatively new to Atascadero, have stopped in here a handful of times and we really love it. The coffee here is strong, the service fast and friendly, and the graffiti art all over the interior walls is really cool. If you are looking for an eclectic coffee house with its own style, this is the place for you. Tyler roasts and grinds his own beans, which makes for an extra special experience. Fair warning: If you are a lightweight when it comes to caffeine, make sure to talk to the barista about it when you order. I had a mocha last visit that was amazingly delicious but it launched me into a caffeinated low-earth orbit. Next time I will order a half decaf, LOL!Great place, superb atmosphere, definitely will be back!”
“Yesterday was my first time going in. food was really good. Can't believe I've been driving by this place for years. I've never bothered to stop, period. I will try to make this a regular lunch blaze for me.”
“A mix between a sit down and counter service. Food comes out quickly and the chips are nice and salty with flavorful salsa. Very filling, so plan to come hungry or share a plate.”
“Its adequate, not the best ir worst Mexican food. I got one sope and it was big enough for me. My husband got the birria burrito said it was good and big enough to fill him up. The cashier was nice. They don't have waiters you order with cashier and they bring the food. Family style restaurant. Bathrooms where clean.”
“Great food. Hard to find any food under $20, however, I settled on a wedge salad for $15. It was delicious, but I needed to ask for extra blue cheese crumbles which were graciously provided at no extra cost. I would return!”
“Coffee is excellent! We also ordered the turkey croissant and this was a nice treat!! The service was great and very friendly. We’re happy they have an online store so we won’t run out of their coffee.Dietary restrictions: Parking is east and they have gluten free options”
“Camarones A La Diabla, Spicy shrimp served with rice beans avocado and tomato was delicious, but is spicy! Also had the shrimp burrito, which was very large, juicy and tasty. Nicely decorated restaurant.”
“Nice experience with the Staff and Chef. That is Huge, in my book! My beautiful Roll was delicious and its was the Chef's choice. Very accommodating and Friendly. One of my favorite local spots.”
“I was traveling from Santa Clarita up the 101 to meet some Amateur radio friends for a breakfast in Atascadero the other day. The Country Touch Café was selected from Yelp reviews and the meal did not disappoint. There were four of us and everyone reported they enjoyed the good foodI ordered the Cowboy Omelet with hash browns and sourdough toast for $16.50. Folded into the middle was a large portion of Ham, Sausage, Bacon and melted American Cheese. The plate was then smothered with a thick Country Gravy. That was a 5 Star meal right there. One of my friends stated that he always orders the Chile Verde when he goes to a new place. That is the yardstick he measures them by. He gave this place 4.5 out of 5. 5 Stars for the food and a half point off for the toast being a bit late. Hey, he likes his toast...Still that small inconvenience was not enough to mar the experience. If in the neighborhood again I will go back again.”
“The shrimp fajitas were on special and were absolutely phenomenal. The service was excellent. Our fully attentive waitress brought us three baskets of chips, and she never let a drink go dry. I had to comment to my wife how we never see service like that many places these days.Kid-friendliness: They offered a high chair but gave us a booth and we didn't need it. They were pleasant towards our daughter.”
“Chris was a fantastic host and had a great selection of beers available. The galaxy-dominant pale ale and the barley wine were absolutely fantastic. An must visit for anyone who enjoys the art of brewing.”

Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Human Bean in Atascadero, hands down some of the best coffee I’ve ever had. Not only do they serve up one of the best Chai’s, the service and experience is stellar. I was greeted by friendly faces, amazing service and great coffee. 11/10 would drive 30 minutes just to grab another fire side chai and the little chocolate bean they give me on my drink.”
“Definitely recommend the mango Boba (with mango pearls)! Actually, I've tried all of their Boba flavors & enjoyed them all. Friendly staff, prompt service. My 12 year old is obsessed with Brew It! She would get a Boba here every day if she could. :)”
“Very very very good tacos! Had two asada and one pastor. They were very good size and the flavor was on point. No grisly pieces of carne and just the right amount of heat. Ingredients were fresh and I really liked the way they cut their onions rather than dicing. Tasted like I was at a friends house eating his mom’s homemade food they were that good. 10/10. Guillermo even offered me a glass of water after ordering. Now that’s service!”
“Food was as usual, love the new snack wraps! Lisa was definitely the worst manager ever, saw her yelling at employees and she scared my child. Would not go back because of her, definitely needs new management.”
“The food is good and usually served hot. Much better than the other Taco Bell in town. I just wish they would figure out how to count the sauce packets. They either give me way too many or too few. If I ask for 20 in the app give me 20.”
“What a tasty hamburger that was! My hubby and I ordered then sat in the truck while watching the rain pour over us. A Beautiful sight with a wonderfully delicious bite!Parking: New store, new parking lot.”
“Different not being able to get a soft drink with your meal. Good food deals. Place is clean and the crew is following the states guidelines, mask gloves, and keeping things clean after each customer. Also has hand sanitizer placed by ordering counters and doors”
“Killer burgers and definitely order the fried green beans totally addicted!Onion rings and pumpkin shake, very worthy! But the service when they first opened was awesome, not now....”
“This is the best Taco Bell in the area, my food is always correct and everyone is so friendly. The new fancy location a few miles north got my order wrong both times I’ve been there - should have never strayed away from my family at 7385”
“Great location and convenient but tons of homeless people around due to a resource office near the McDonald’s and they make the area feel unsafe and sketchy so parking isn’t an option for us and only use the drive through.Customer service is okay but food service is fast and easyParking: Parking is good and plenty but homeless people walking around making it unsafe”
“Beautiful location and delicious foodsParking: Beautiful siteKid-friendliness: Kids can enjoy foods as an adultsWheelchair accessibility: It's wheelchair accessible”
“I had the Picanha al Chimichurri and rotisserie chicken. The agua de Jamaica was actually really good as well. Sauce for yhr chicken was spicy and I liked it!Vibes were chill and nice, I will be back for sure.”

Cheap Eats
“I was pleasantly surprised to find a cider brewery. Stopped by with my dog and was able to sit on the patio. The ciders weren't what I was expecting as I tend to like fruity ones like pear and raspberry, and you won't find them here. Overall it was a nice stop on the way home. Got a 5 flavor flight for just $15.”
“I haven't been inside the Tavern, but the garish lights newly installed on the outside are NOT Atascadero. The too bright and not professional installed and end up being an eyesore. My opinion.”
“Cool local joint. They can pour a drink. No food except some jerky and chips. Ran into a couple people that definitely needed to go home! Have pool tables (didn't shoot). It was a quick stop. Overall id stop again!”
“I adore the pho served here! Absolutely delicious and huge portions. The service is great, the staff are all very helpful.Vegetarian options: Vegetable and tofu pho”
“New (ish) Cafe in the middle of a church. Super relaxing, comfortable, inside and outdoor seating. Great for a business meeting. Or a quick cup of Java, great coffee by the way. Super friendly employees It's actually called ABC CAFE, Sorry, I wrote the business up and wasn't paying attention. They have pastries ect.. too. Latte's too!”
“I don't know that it was the best burger I've ever had, just can't think where I've had one better, damn good. Nice selection of craft beers. 3 pool tables, and a crowd looking for a good game.Parking: Park in the back”
“Recently remodelled into. 1950s diner....the place looks great! Great atmosphere, fantastic food (mushroom swiss burger is my favorite) and friendly service. Thank you!”
“This is a cozy artist style café with fresh baked items and full coffee bar. They also have a breakfast and lunch menu available. - I ordered the chai tea latte with almond mylk. I t was yummy & I really appreciated the affordable pricing, the art that was displayed, and the welcoming staff. - The space looked a little bit sparse as far as pastries were concerned. I would love a few more vegan options.”
“I have never went through a drive-through so fast in my life I couldn’t even get my wallet put up. My Food was waiting on me at the window. I was super impressed.The girl working the window, super friendly positive attitude, and there was a really nice smell coming out the window I am 100% satisfiedThe bread was super soft and just right and those Sriracha packets really topped off the morning along with my coffee. Thank you guys you did an excellent job you got a nice team. Keep up the good work.”
“Best chile relleno and al pastor in town. We have a big family and we hit them with a large order and they were able to come through really fast and everything was excellent!”
“Great smoothie as always but the 5 stars go to Rosa for being a total rockstar! I went in this afternoon with my wife and we both loved interacting with her. She was so positive, informative and took care of us like we were friends. We are looking forward to stopping in again to grab a smoothie and to say hi!”

“Have been coming here for quite some time. Staff is always friendly. The place is clean. Ambience is average on how loud it can get. It doesn't take too long for the food to come out. There is usually a salad bar option. Pizza is fresh, full of flavor, crust cooked just right, and not greasy. It is our go to pizza place. We love the chicken pizza.”

“the female bartender was very friendly. She noticed my Armenian last name and told us how her mom was involved in creating a non profit organization to bring a very unique dog breed from Armenia called Gampr. You should check out these dogs. They can become massive. Back to the experience. Good was good! It was in a Marriott after all.”
“Just moved to town from arroyo grande. We frequent the AG location all the time. Got to admit this one might have it beat amazing pizza and perfectly cooked with no skimping on the toppings. Stoked to have a fattes in town here also. Employees seemed a little stressed but it was a busy night. One other suggestion for pizza so good you should make your own ranch. Kens is garbage.”
“Our dining experience was outstanding in all regards. Great, fast, but not hurried service and delivery of food. Very friendly and knowledgeable wait staff. Excellent food, from the bread and appetizer to the main courses and dessert. Pleasant ambiance, and surprisingly quiet even though tables remained full while we were dining. Can't wait to return.”
“Parking: Small parking lot near entrance - about 5-6 spaces. Free street parking in front of restaurant, as well as metered parking on same street in front of hotel next door..”

“We love coming to LaDonna’s. It’s our go to spot for special occasions or just a night out. The food is always amazing. The meatball and the pizzas are my absolute favorite, but everything is top quality and made from fresh ingredients. The staff is always warm, friendly and kind. LaDonna’s is the best dining experience in Atascadero!”
“As a very picky person, I can safely say the food is authentic and cooked with love and integrity. Susy is a fantastic person, strong in faith and very hospitable. If you're driving by, I highly recommend this place; you will feel right at home. My family had tacos, tortas, and quesadillas, and they were all delicious.”
“I love the idea of the heart-shaped pizza for Valentine's Day. However one of us is lactose intolerant so we could not add cheese to make the pizza taste awesome. Looks great though and what we did have was awesome.”

“Killer burgers and definitely order the fried green beans totally addicted!Onion rings and pumpkin shake, very worthy! But the service when they first opened was awesome, not now....”
“I went up to Atascadero to visit family this weekend and came across this bakery. Soon Saturday we decided to stop in and see what they had. Silly me asked if they had any specials like a Bakers Dozen, as if they were selling donuts. I felt embarrassed after I heard what I had asked but I couldn't take it back. I ended up buying only 8 pastries but the young man behind the counter still gave me a discount! Then just before leaving to come back home today we stopped in to buy more, so that we could bring some pastries home with us since they were so delicious! I got 10 pastries this time and I didn't ask any silly questions this time either. The young man once again helped me out by giving me free pastries. I will definitely be stopping there again when I visit again. The pastries are delicious and the service is great! This place is a great place to visit!”
“I was going through the drive through and not even being weird or nun I found the love of my life I don't care about the wait as long as I was able to look at her”
“Generally it's a 5 star experience. The last two times, despite repeating "grilled whole onion", it' has turned into no onions.I'm sure that will get better. Everything is delicious, and way better than mcds, or such.”
“This little coffee shop is absolutely amazing. My wife and even my kids drive from Tulare, CA just to stop and say hi and grab a coffee (the blended Chai is our favorite) my wife and kids used to stop every day when they lived here and even now we make the drive for some. It's worth the short stop if you're passing through for some of the best coffee and friendliest service you will ever receive.”
“Best chile relleno and al pastor in town. We have a big family and we hit them with a large order and they were able to come through really fast and everything was excellent!”
“A mix between a sit down and counter service. Food comes out quickly and the chips are nice and salty with flavorful salsa. Very filling, so plan to come hungry or share a plate.”
“It was Christmas night, and we decided to order from Gogo Thai. I’ve had their lunch specials but their dinner was amazing. First of all, they were super nice on the phone. Very busy (but so sweet)- and we had a wonderful, delicious dinner that we brought home. We were sort of loyal to another restaurant, but we may be GoGo Thai fans now. Great job! I highly recommend their drunken noodles and hot and sour soup.Vegetarian options: I don’t eat meat, and there was lots of options to add tofu, and then the tofu was wonderful and delicious”
“The atmosphere is amazing in the evening, service was excellent drinks are on point. Food was very good. Absolutely recommend this restaurant for date night or girls night out.”

“Such. Great. Beer! This place is tiny but mighty. The patio is comfy and there is a great list of beers to choose from. Get a flight in a baking tray and ask their recommendations - he pointed me to some things I'd never have tried and it was fantastic!”
“Its adequate, not the best ir worst Mexican food. I got one sope and it was big enough for me. My husband got the birria burrito said it was good and big enough to fill him up. The cashier was nice. They don't have waiters you order with cashier and they bring the food. Family style restaurant. Bathrooms where clean.”
“Recently remodelled into. 1950s diner....the place looks great! Great atmosphere, fantastic food (mushroom swiss burger is my favorite) and friendly service. Thank you!”
“Coffee is excellent! We also ordered the turkey croissant and this was a nice treat!! The service was great and very friendly. We’re happy they have an online store so we won’t run out of their coffee.Dietary restrictions: Parking is east and they have gluten free options”
“One of the best places on the Central Coast. This hidden gem is on the 41, between Downtown Atown and Morro Bay. This renovated garage/barn turn modern ranch chic is the home to a fresh/natural/modern culinary experience. Once you enter you are greeted and have menu's on a little table at the door. When you're ready, you go up and order. I ordered the Rock Burger (Beyond Meat and no Bacon), comes with fries, the Bahn Mi Tots and Beer Battered Onion Rings. The Rock Burger is what you want. Beautiful fluffy Brioche bun from Back Porch Bakery, Central coast creamery blue cheese bringing the funk/creamy/saltness to cut through the burger, the caramelized onions for sweetness, the fresh mixed greens for that earthy bite, and whole grain mustard sauce for a little more acidity. The fries are done to salty, crispy, yet soft inside perfection. The Beer battered onion rings are served the a beautiful house made ranch and bbq sauce. Cooked perfect, just wish there was more. And the Star of the show, Bahn Mi Tots. The mix of tots, fresh vegetables, creamy sauce, soft meets crunch, vinegar balanced by fatty creaminess of the sauce, gives you full Umami! Just an awesome concept, that works to the fullest! The power went out while we were there with our friends from out of town and instead of kicking us out, they brought over candles (which was made by someone dinning in at the time) and asked if we needed anything. This is truly a first class operation and am honored to say they are in my own backyard. We've introduced many to them and we'll introduce many more.*What happened to the CHEESE CURDS?*”
