“Driving around, looking for healthier options for lunch, and this gem popped up on google maps. When I saw that this was vegan, I was not entirely sure how it would taste. I was pleasantly surprised by both of the meals we ordered. The tacos were delicious and the BLTA hit the spot! We walked away feeling full and full of energy from the awesome food. The staff were very courteous and we will be coming back to try more delicious options.“
“During our last visit to San Luis Obispo, we stayed in Pismo Beach and dropped by Steaming Bean for coffee and breakfast. It was busy but the service was excellent and although we had to wait for a short while for the food, it was also excellent. I loved the back patio and we sat out there for a while enjoying the morning. A highlight for me was seeing a Sunbeam Tiger pull into the parking lot below but the girls weren’t as impressed. They were impressed with the coffee and fun accessories for sale inside. We are definitely coming back here the next time we visit the area.Michael DelehantyCompass Real Estate“
“My wife and I have been to Pismo Beach three times in the past four years. We have gotten ice cream / sorbet at Scoops several times and a few things are consistent. The Maui Wowie is very good. The servings are a decent size and the ice cream / sorbet is hard and firm. There is always free parking in the lot too. Prices are consistent for a tourist town. The male server, (I think he is the owner) is friendly and personable. My wife was interested in the Moose Tracks flavor and he gave her a small spoonful with a sample. My wife liked it and later bought a cup of that flavor. The female server (Asian) is less friendly and less personable. I don't know if it was the same Asian lady in prior years, but the only friendly server there is the male. I'm not saying the Asian lady is rude, but perhaps her English is not very good and she is not comfortable talking to customers. We will be back in the future because of the Maui Wowie and other choices of ice creams / sorbets. It would be an easy 5-stars if the female server was as friendly as the male.“
“Best frozen yogurt in the area . And 1/2 the price . Service is amazing they always it just the way you like it ! This place is a true hidden gem for frozen yogurt lovers. We are here 4 nights a week. 5 star and we highly recommend this spot .“
“My first visit to Julia's was this afternoon and I was quit happily surprised. I ordered the chicken mole tacos and a cup of the butternut soup and we ate every bite. The sign on the wall they buy farm fresh foods daily. It was very fresh and delicious. Plus the tacos were generously topped with a diced medley of veggies. The soup was for Dan, who loves squash. I usually don't like it at all what a wonderful surprise there too. I couldn't stop sopping at it. The entire experience will definitely have me returning soon! The two tacos and soup only cost us $21.00, another great reason to go back, we can't wait to try more of their healthy meals.“
Ice Cream Shop • $
“A must try ice cream parlor. Overjoyed by all the unique flavors of ice cream. FRESH made juices, smoothies, shakes and of course my all time favorite MANGONADA!! I was like a little child trying to decide what to order. I wanted to try it all. I decided on a waffle cone with fresh strawberrie and Churro ice cream. So yummy!“
“A MUST! This place deserves a Michelin star. The pizza is simply outstanding. Desserts too! The flavors are perfectly balanced, rejuvenating, and satiating. The probiotic cheese is spectacular. Checks all my lists organic, vegan, and GF. My mind is still blown as I’m writing “
“Bliss makes wonderful, nourishing vegan food and the owners are lovely and passionate, both about the food they serve and connecting with the local community. (Big shoutout to Dara and Kyle!) The quality of the food at their Thursday SLO Farmer's Market booth is fantastic and portions are generous. I can easily get two meals out of the small, and three or more meals out of the large! My husband loves the Protein Buddha, and I am a recent convert to the fabulously lemony Banzo Bowl, but you can't go wrong with any of the options from Bliss :)We also ordered their prepared multi-course holiday meal for a special Christmas dinner in December (2023), and it was delicious! So many amazing flavors and dishes that satisfied vegans and non-vegans alike. I highly recommend ordering catered food from Bliss if you have the opportunity, and stopping by their booth on Thursdays!“
“Really solid place!! Best burger in SLO and solid honest midrange food in general. No as far as burgers go, the only place that has an edge on Eddie's is the Hotel SLO's smashburger and I'm comparing Eddie's to a fine dining establishment. Eddie's often falls under the radar but if you're local you should know it's here. Plenty of Vegan / Veggie options, great salads, excellent wraps, all at reasonable (for SLO) prices. Again that burger -- char grilled not flat-topped, great fresh toppings, real avocado and the fries are always hot, crispy and fresh. In terms of quality, beats most of the sit-down table service diners in town. If you're looking for American/Diner type food, don't overlook Eddie's as an option.“
“I have never seen a more wonderful and lovely spot for great smoothies. I have always gone here either when I or my mom were sick and she is sick rn too so more smoothies for us!I always get the lemon merengue smoothie and if I’m feeling up for a meal I get the tropical smoothie bowl. Right now they have pineapple, strawberries, bananas, and coconut shreds as toppings. They even have homemade snacks.“
“Fantastic brunch during our visit to Cal Poly. The sandwiches were very filling and the ice lattes were great. They had nice communal tables and patio seating. The staff was attentive and kept the place neat. Highly recommend if you are visiting town.“
“Such a cute place with yummy drinks! Service was amazing and the worker at 1pm (I'm sorry we never got your name!!) was just so kind and helpful and wanted to make us feel at home. I got a large Cafe Latte Smoothie and it tasted new and interesting! In a good way! I have never tried coffee and protein together so it was a new drink for me but so good! Next time I'm in town, I would love to come back again and try another drink :)“
Juice Bars And Smoothies • $$
“Good without being great....I also can't get over the fact that they serve everything in to-go containers with single-use cutlery! What's up with that? You'd think a plant-based cafe would have more of a sustainable ethos. Think about all the unnecessary waste!“
“Jamba Juice in Arroyo Grande is your typically wonderful Jamba Juice Shop…they serve up some DELICIOUS Smoothies and other extremely Fabulous Drink concoctions. Available goodies included: Classic Smoothies (like my fav, Orange Dream Machine®), Plant Based Smoothies, Super Blend Smoothies, Iced Beverages, Juices (Orange, Carrot and a blend of both), Shots, Bowls (containing a variety of Fruits and Organic Granola….Yum!), some delish Egg Bites and finally a Belgian Waffle Parfait. The Arroyo location is clean, has limited seating as is always staffed with some pretty terrific Associates. Like Jason…who helped me today with professional, yet friendly and extremely fast service. Yay Jason, thank-you for your fabulous Customer Service! The whole visit from “walk in” to “walk out” w/my Smoothie was under 5 minutes…and yes, there were other Customers in the establishment. So today, in this Reviewer’s opinion…Jamba Juice in Arroyo Grande (and Jason), truly earned this “highly recommend” 5 Point review.“

“The people that help you are great. My experience has been the people getting drinks sometimes are very rude like this morning while I was waiting the woman in front of me it was teaching her two young children, math, and making sure they got it right from the drinks, making me wait in line until they perfected their educational experience of learning how to add their Jamba juices while I wait in line, so rude people have been so rude and the people helping as my experience as a psychologist are afraid to say anything because people are rude to them as well so they just wait and let them be rude to others around them while they know the people are being rude to them, and to those around them get it together rude people I know you’re upset because of the World situation but don’t take it out on others. You’re so rude doing that.“
“The food was awesome, but it tasted a bit bland and it could be a bit sweeter. You must try it as it is very good overall. The space inside is very small and there is not much room to move. The workers were very nice and helpful. I think that you should definitely give this place a try and support this small business.i also loved all the decorations and the inspirational quotes on the inside. I loved the mirror in the bathroom and the back of the door. They also, have a lot of different food options. So, you do not just have to get a smoothie they have other things as well. in conclusion, I would recommend this place as it is very nice and homey!!“
