Well folks....I thought the best coffee was in Laguna Beach and Cacti crushed it. His roast is so flavorful and smooth. The cortado for me, salted carmal brule for my wife. We.tried our local shop the next week and it was Cacti for win. Now folks understand he's only a cart in a store, this isn't Starbucks so you have to expect to wait. This is all about his roast and coffee game. Amazing.

I wasn't expecting such an epic coffee experience inside a surf shop. The owner is very passionate and an artist. The cinnamon toast crunch latte is a must!

The absolute BEST coffee. This is a must-do experience for any coffee lovers visiting Pismo. Our coffees were carefully crafted and filled with creativity, passion, and delicious coffee/flavors.

This is what you get when you combine an understanding of the science, appreciation for the art, and passion for the craft of excellent coffee. Each of the roasts is distinct and shines beautifully.

Pretty amazing coffee. Don’t be put off by the coffee shop being inside the surf shop. I found it slightly unusual at first, as well. Loved the unique twist with brûlée-ing the top of my cappuccino. Can’t wait to try the espresso beans at home. Thanks again, Shawn, and we will see you next time.

The single barista working here was killing it. Making coffee in a timely manner, talking with customers, and keeping his space clean despite a line. The fact this place has a 5.0 makes more than enough sense. Strongly recommend stopping by for a great morning Pismo coffee. 5/5.

An authentic master of the craft of coffee roasting, preparation, and service. Thank you Shawn for the love you put into every encounter. You are truly an inspiration.

15/10 for this pop-up coffee shop within a surf shop. Super hidden gem. Partner got the salted caramel brulee latte and I got the toasted cinnamon brulee latte. One-person operation, takes their time making the artistic creation. So worth the wait. Can't wait to come back!
