Scout Coffee Company

Today we had coffee at Scout Coffee Co. in downtown SLO.  It's located at 1130 Garden Street.  It has a charming interior which we would describe as rustic urban. The high ceilings and exposed brick provide an open and airy setting for a pleasant coffee experience. 

Joan enjoyed a small Americano with soy and house made vanilla syrup.  It was creamy and full-bodied.  The cost was $4.05.  Sheila's regular black coffee was strong, bold, and tangy.  It was $2.70.
 


Scout has a variety of seating choices.  There are small metal stools, tall metal stools,  bistro tables,  benches, counter seating, and outdoor seating perfect for people watching.

Scout has a choice of teas, coffees, milkshakes, and baked goodies. There are also choices for children.

Think About It:  Give thanks, no matter what.

Coastal Peaks Coffee


We're back!  Today we visited Coastal Peaks Coffee at 3536 South Higuera, #250.  Sheila got her usual regular coffee. She chose the Garden Island blend, 12 oz., which cost $2.00.  Joan had a small macchiato with soy milk and toffee nut flavoring.  It cost $3.50 and was served in a small espresso cup.  It packed a bold caffeine wallop.  For those who love their espresso, this is a perfect choice.  Sheila's regular black coffee was strong and pleasing with a slight hint of, true to its name, a garden
island.


Coastal Peaks also offers food items such as sandwiches, salads, breakfast goodies, and smoothies.




Coastal Peaks has two large rooms and plenty of seating.  There are comfortable chairs, couches, wooden tables and chairs, and outdoor seating.  


This coffee house is great for the coffee connoisseur.  Their coffees come in green from such places as Panama, Ethiopia, Bali, and Kenya.  They are fresh roasted right there.  You can also grind your own blends.  They offer certified organic and fair trade coffees.

Think About It: No matter how hard life gets, take time to go have coffee or whatever pleases you, with a friend. You will come away feeling better.
