Our favorite breakfast spot when visiting SLO! Sally Loo’s was recommended from friends that live in the area and we couldn’t have been more glad we came. Hands down they have the best breakfast food we have ever tried, all while being allergy friendly and quick to get the orders out. I don’t think I have ever seen a cafe that has knocked out a line of 30 people so quickly, all while keeping the food quality top notch. My wife is allergic to gluten and eggs, so the restaurants we can go to are limited. Sally Loo’s handles allergy restrictions effectively and efficiently. Every restaurant can learn from them.

Linnea's is my favorite cafe! So many tea options, and the workers are welcoming and nice! The back garden is very relaxing and a great place to study or catch some live music. Many vegan and gluten free options for those with dietary restrictions. Tea and coffee loyalty cards can help you save some money if you become a repeat customer (like me)!

This is not just a restaurant, but an experience. There’s an old-school 1970’s/1980’s Americana vibe, and the food is REALLY good! Had Bennedict and the hollandaise was just ok (probably a mix), but a nice thick slab of ham on gluten free bread and perfectly crispy hash browns and fruit, which tasted very fresh. And of course anyone who stops MUST eat cake there, which is super fluffy and whipped creamy. The pink one is what they’re famous for

I ordered the iced vanilla bean latte here and it was delicious! Not too sweet, very well balanced flavor. Would come here again for the drinks. I originally seeked out this coffee shop in particular because other reviews mentioned gluten free pastries. As a celiac l would like to give feedback from that perspective… There were two gluten-free pastry options. However, they were both on separate plates touching other gluten pastries. If the GF pastries were on the plate together, rather than touching other gluten-containing items, they would be safer to eat for people allergic to gluten. Please consider for the future! (: Anyways, staff was friendly and the atmosphere was good too. Even the fellow patrons were super nice. Good vibes all around.

One of our favorite restaurants in SLO. Has enough gluten free options and the staff is kind enough to accommodate gluten free requests every time. The cook understands no cross contamination and was willing to cook my food in a separate skillet. Just a down home place with good food every time!
