Charming, warm and sweet..this place is perfect. We have enough homogenized coffee shops already..everyone....go here..order a Coco Cow and a bowl of oatmeal that comes topped with fresh fruit and a drizzle of honey...sit down at one of the well worn tables and look out the windows to the beautiful hillside....watch the dogs go by on walks...and breathe..this place should be cherished..my husband and I love this place..we come up from LA as often as we can...and we wake up at a local hotel and look forward to every morning we can spend here!

Great coastal Cali independent coffee shop/breakfast or lunch while kicking back and reading the paper. If you want "fast food corporate style coffee" this place isnt for you. Handmade coffee and teas, smoothies, beach burritos, homemade waffles, oatmeal and simple sandwiches may take a bit longer than at Starbucks/Peets/Panera etc, but it is worth it. A stop for me every time Im coming thru on the 101. It is the way coffee shops should be and if I lived here, well Id be here every day.

This place should be great but the staff is unorganized. There was four orders before me and it was going to take 30 min to get food. The girl making food was spending more time walking around chatting then making food. The food prep station actually sat empty most of the time. Then the coffee grinder was running for 30 minutes I was there on top of the super loud fridge in the back. I left feeling worn out from the noise. Not a great experience.

Ordered two breakfast burritos. Bacon and sausage. Got two microwaved concoctions that smelled liked tomato soup. It was literally all sour cream and tomatoes. Instead of both meats we got one with 1 strip of bacon and the other with maybe sausage. Couldnt tell with all the sour cream and tomatoes. This is supposedly a "local favorite". Went over to San Luis Obisbo and got a real burrito from a great family owned place for half the price.

I must admit I cheat on my Starbucks Coffee when I head out of town north, this place offers bomb burritos and an especially delicious Kona coffee I enjoy my drive a little more with my large cup of Kona and my bacon avocado burrito.

So I asked two cream, two sugar to be told rudely "we dont do that here" . . . Well I usually tip %100 but "I dont do that here" . . . . In fact Ill be taking my business elsewhere, permanently. . . .

Very good coffee but food is overpriced. Service is slow because they are understaffed and people around here know good coffee. Worth the wait for coffee....not sure Id order food again.

Really great coffee and friendly staff... but, if youre in a hurry or on your way to work opt for Starbucks. They are extremely slow when it comes to actually making the coffee.

I stayed in a hotel down the street and was disappointed with the coffee they offered. Im so glad I found The Steaming Bean. Foglifter dark roast for the win!

My black and white was good, but my husbands americano was sub-par, tasting more like a 7 eleven drip.
