Black Horse Coffee
1065 Higuera St, San Luis Obispo, CA
Crema's Take
“Black Horse Coffee is a beloved neighborhood gathering spot in San Luis Obispo with a genuinely charming outdoor patio that locals keep coming back to, where the staff's warmth and friendliness matches the inviting atmosphere. Their espresso drinks and traditional coffee preparations are solid, though opinions vary on consistency—some rave about their bagels and pastries while others find the baked goods occasionally miss the mark on freshness. If you're looking for a relaxed place to linger with good coffee, friendly faces, and a real sense of community, this is where San Luis Obispo comes to sit and stay awhile.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Pastries and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Great local outdoor patio for coffee, the breakfast panini has too much aoli. It would be better with none. Staff very friendly
Adorable Cafe with super cute staff! BF and I each got coffee and a pastry between shopping. He got a warm meat and cheese croissant, I got a delicious blueberry muffin and a monkey bread which were both delicious! 100% will come here again when we're back in town!
