Teaberry Frozen Yogurt Cafe

We are now exploring all coffee venues in SLO, even those that are not exclusively coffee shops, which is why we visited Teaberry Frozen Yogurt Cafe.  It is located at 847 Higuera Street in downtown SLO.  They do have a small coffee menu, as well as frozen yogurt, smoothies, teas, gelatos, and other items.  It is locally owned and operated and is a good location for an afternoon coffee or snack.  It doesn't open until 11:00 A.M., however.  Sheila had her usual regular coffee, an Americano, which was $1.95 for a 12 ounce size.  It was a very satisfying cup of black coffee, made fresh on the spot.  Joan had a latte with almond milk, which was $2.95 for a 12 ounce size.  She described it a having a smooth, nutty flavor with just an underlying coffee essence.  It was not too strong and not too weak.

Teaberry has a clean, modern vibe.  There is indoor and outdoor seating available.


Think About It: Money can't buy you happiness, but it can buy you coffee, which is kind of the same thing. (We saw this on a sign at Hands Gallery.)

Starbucks on Chorro Near Foothill

This Starbucks is a very small venue and seems to be more for pick up than sitting and savoring your coffee.  There was a steady stream of customers.  It is close to Cal Poly and Foothill businesses.  There is some indoor seating and one bench outside nearby.  There were some students studying, but there were also other patrons enjoying their coffee or picking up orders to go.  Sheila had her usual tall regular coffee at $1.95 and it did not disappoint.  You can always count on Starbucks for a good cup of coffee.  Joan had a toffee nut latte decaf with nonfat milk.  It was $3.65.  It was a smooth and sweet cup of coffee with a hint of caramel and a bit of nuttiness, much like Joan herself.  She also purchased a chocolate croissant for her husband John (allegedly).  Starbucks has a nice selection of baked goods and breakfast items, as well as light lunch choices.
