Del Monte Cafe
1901 Santa Barbara Ave, San Luis Obispo, CA
Crema's Take
“This beloved San Luis Obispo breakfast spot draws crowds early on weekends for reasons that clearly divide diners—while some rave about exceptional food and service worthy of a six-star rating, others have found their experience disappointing with underseasoned sides and lackluster execution. The mixed reviews suggest Del Monte Cafe shines brightest when you arrive before the morning rush, where the charm and quality seem most consistent, though consistency appears to be their ongoing challenge.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

I wish I could give this place 6 stars! We were there on a Sunday and luckily got there before 9:30 AM. You are waiting in a line if you get there after that, and for good reason. The food and customer service are at the highest levels. My only very minor complaint would be the…
