What a beautiful morning to sit outside and drink coffee at
Black Horse Espresso and Bakery on Broad Street in SLO! There is ample seating at this place, both inside and out. Joan enjoyed a coffee drink called "The Thing" which consisted of caramel at the bottom, vanilla syrup, milk, and iced coffee. The richness really came through this upside down caramel macchiato. It was $3.75. Sheila had a, wait for it, regular small coffee which was $1.95. It was hearty and robust. Joan said her iced drink was perfect for this summery weather. Black Horse has a great menu of, among other things, paninis for both breakfast and lunch, wonderful baked goods, including pastries, cookies, and cakes. Parking is free and plentiful. It is a great place to stop and pick up some goodies to enjoy there, take home, or to give to your favorite host or hostess.
There is an indoor/outdoor fireplace to enjoy in cooler weather.
Think About It: Think about taking a staycation in your hometown or nearby. Joan and her husband recently celebrated their anniversary just 10 minutes from their home at the Quality Suites Central Coast here in SLO. It was relaxing, carefree, and rejuvenating!
I like this place. My friend introduced me to their "Eric's Special"....iced Americano with a splash of vanilla and half and half. Very yummy! Plus, it is within walking distance from my house. : )
ReplyDeleteThe patio is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLucy's is technically closer to where I live but that walk up the hill on Laurel is no fun. Fortunately, I can walk to this Black Horse without having to go uphill, and I do go there regularly. The iced mochas are great but my favorite drink there is the iced caramello. The cookies are also really good. The breakfast paninis are OK. You can do much better in SLO for breakfast food.
