Breaking Bread Bakery

Breaking Bread Bakery is located at 1074 Higuera Street in SLO.  You can enter from Higuera Street or go down the alley between Buona Tavola restaurant and the county government building.  We stumbled upon it this morning and were glad we did.  They feature Green Star coffee and a wide variety of teas.  They don't have the "fancy" coffees that Joan usually has, so she fancied up her Paradiso Roast with some Half and Half, and thought it was an exceptional cup of coffee.  Sheila felt the same way about her Italian Roast regular coffee.  The small is only $1.50.  We decided to pair our coffees with a sampling of their delicious looking baked goods, made right there on the premises.  The Orange Morning Bun was lightly flavored with orange, and was flaky and satisfying with just the right amount of sweetness.  We also tried the Carrot Cake Muffin, which was moist and complimented the coffees nicely.

There are several seating options at Breaking Bread.  There are numerous outdoor tables and also counter seating, an outside patio, and indoor seating as well.  They have a wonderful breakfast and lunch menu and freshly baked breads daily.

 Think About It: Don't be afraid to start out your day without an agenda.  You might just open yourself up to a new passion, or, at the very least, discover a great cup of coffee!

SLO Grind at Whole Foods Market

Today we ventured out to SLO Grind at Whole Foods in San Luis, located at 1531 Froom Ranch Way.  The atmosphere there was friendly and inviting.  We weren't sure what to expect from a coffee place located in a market, but were pleasantly surprised.  The combination of excellent coffee and comfortable seating made for an enjoyable coffee experience.  Sheila had a 12 oz. regular cup of Winter Roast coffee. It was smooth, delicate, and delicious.  The cost was only $1.75.  Well worth it! Joan had a 12 oz. Turkish latte with soy, hazelnut syrup, cinnamon, two shots of espresso, and cardamom, of all things!  Joan pronounced it bold, strong in a good way, and robust.  The cinnamon was evident, but not overpowering.  It was $3.50.  She said she would definitely order it again.

Seating includes tables, a counter, a comfy couch and easy chairs.  Outdoor seating is also available,

a great option for warm SLO days.

 SLO Grind has a good variety of hot and cold drinks, as well as teas.  They also offer wonderful pastry items.

 Think About It: Your circumstances do not dictate the quality of your life.
