Scout Coffee Co.

Great coffee spot! The coffee was really delicious — smooth, mild, and definitely barista quality. I’m not sure if it’s a local café or part of a small chain, but they even had their own merch, which made the place feel well loved and established. The pastries looked amazing too (even though we didn’t try any), and the café was already quite busy, which tells me it’s a popular spot with locals and visitors alike. Would absolutely come back for another coffee.

Amazing coffee and tea selections. Delicious pastries both sweet and savory, locally baked, you can taste the freshness! Staff is fast, efficient, well trained and friendly. Location is central and ambiance is on point. A firm reminder that while the consistency of chains can be appealing in our rushed world the reward of finding and supporting local gems is the sweetest reward of all.

Yummiest coffee spot in SLO! They have house made milks and syrup options. The atmosphere is 10/10 and in the heart of downtown. Pastries are also delicious!

Centrally located in the quaint historic downtown, on a side street with little traffic. Handicap parking spot right in front of the shop. A few tables and chairs to sit outside and enjoy your coffee in the sun. Large, bright interior with bright sunlight shining through the window. Plenty of seatings with high top and regular chairs. While busy when visiting there was basically no wait. Served quickly by a young, friendly and attentive associate. Good selection of hot and cold beverages and nice pastries. Counter area and tables were kept very clean. Great quality and reasonable pricing. Excellent find, will be our must stop when coming to or passing through SLO!

I love Scout coffee. They make their own almond milk, which makes the lattes even more delicious. Their Chia pudding is fresh and full of berries and their homemade jam. Their coffee shops are cute and the people who work there are very friendly.
