Red Bee Coffee

I really just love this place. Staff is always friendly, it's not part of downtown pismo, and they have an off menu blackberry white chocolate latte that is bomb diggity.

On a couple of our trips to town, I've needed to do some work and a place to do it. I tucked up at the bar once but had a little more sensitive stuff this time and sat in the table closest to the restroom. I did order 2 drinks and a sandwich, all at different times, but never got a look from staff after being there for 6 hours.

Warning: sitting there that long, I spelled like their cooked food when I left... and needed to change my clothes.

Def my go to coffee in the area!

The Hawaiian latte is good stuff! I'm a sweet coffee girl but not into overly sweet coffees. It has to be just right and this was just right! Went twice during my 3 day stay in the area. And wanted to come back again but they were closed for the day. I'll for sure be back during my next visit.

On the long drive from Oceano to SF, we just wanted a coffee to keep us all awake! Red Bee was surprisingly crowded on a Monday morning, but the line moved fast. I ordered a basic latte without any adjustments. Honestly, I wasn't too impressed with the actual coffee flavor. It tasted a bit watered down to me, but maybe I'm just used to drinking espressos all the time? However, the latte foam and art makes up for it.

Perfect vibesss. They have a wide variety of coffee, good sitting area, outlets for charging, and they have Catan, Candyland, and Chutes & Ladders ready to play. Definitely going here again!

Great coffee, amazing service.
Love all the workers they are always very helpful and kind.
The current owners have made this my favorite coffee shop in the county

Their cold brew was bursting with flavor. With a splash of cream I was good to go. My date had Honey Lavender Soy Latte. She was happy on how it turned out.

Friendly customer service and great outdoor seating. I'd love to make a return and get caffeinated.

FOOD:
The panini tasted delicious. The bacon was very crispy which I love! A little bit pricey but enjoyable so I didn't mind much. I got a cold brew with a shot of hazelnut. They make it strong that I had to babysit because my heart was pounding lol but the coffee tasted great

SERVICE:
The service was prompt and great. Nice staff.

AMBIANCE:
I thought it would be a pretty cramped spot for studying but it is not. Plenty of seatings indoors and outdoors. There are plenty of outlets for phone or laptop charging. Great spot for doing some school work.

I will definitely be coming back and trying more drinks and baked goods.

I was randomly driving around the coast trying to see if I could find any seals while I was staying in San Luis Obispo. I was also hungry. It was close to noon but I really wanted breakfast. I don't think Californians believe in bagels...is the whole state anti carbs?? Anyway I saw this place and I even turned around to go back to go back here. I found parking behind the building. I'm not sure if you can park there but I did and nothing bad happened to my car. There's nothing saying you can't park there but it felt like I shouldn't be.

The cashier was really sweet. She was a really nice lady. It is a cute shop inside. There's actually seems to be more seating outside than inside, but it was a little bit of a chilly day so I opted for inside. There's a lot of counter seating along the edges and there's two tables it's really small inside, so I was lucky to get one of the tables. I had a baklava latte, which was really good and I got a Brie and honey Panini, which was delicious but I wish it had a little bit more honey in it because it was very brie forward. Upon the recommendation of the cashier I got a strawberry muffin she said they were so good. They made her cry so if that wasn't an endorsement, I don't know what is. I could see where the muffin had potential. It seemed very dense and dry and not a lot of strawberries in it to me, but the topping was really delicious and I feel like if the crumb was a little looser, and there were more strawberries in it this muffin probably would've made me cry.

I have had many a chai latte in my life. Hot, cold, regular milk, oat milk. None of which have been blended up and turned into a slushy, until now.

The idea of it was intriguing, I had never even seen a chai latte slushy on a menu, but I was skeptical of the outcome. Could be hotter than Death Valley outside, I almost always prefer my chai lattes hot, and sometimes a risk to deviate from a classic doesn't pay off.

In this case, they took the risk and it was my delicious, chai filled reward. Incredibly bold, not watery from the ice at all, fantastic spice blend, refreshing, chai latte perfection. What an elevated, creative take on a standard. Definition of a game changer!

Enjoyed this nice atmosphere. Some baristas know and learned some sign language from each other. One of them knows ASL very well. Easy for me to communicate with her. So comfortable to work remotely there during my time of taking care my parent here from Washington State. Coffee tastes so good! So are muffin and breakfast paninis.
