👍👍 Great little place! Nice variety of drinks and small bites, and very friendly staff! Excited to return and see what else they add to the menu. Update: Returned today and tried the torta - best I've had in SLO for sure.

👍👍 10/10 must go! They have a kind, hardworking team, pastries that were DELICIOUS, and we loved ALL of our food! The breakfast burrito and carnitas breakfast bowls were a hit, and the avocado toast was massive. We loved every bite and will visit regularly!

👍👍 If you're a younger member of Gen X you'll feel right at home in this location. Stepping into this place is like stepping into a surreal museum of my childhood. Yes I had a few of those Lunch Boxes (actually I just found my dark Crystal lunchbox WITH THE THERMOUS!), yes I had a few of those skateb...

Sweetie Cup Tea House
Tea house
😐 The milk tea wasn't very sweet or milky which we're not used to compared to many other milk tea places. The taro smoothie was pretty sweet, but we found it grainy, maybe not blended well? There are many other teas at this shop and desserts. I've never seen a tea store with so many things to buy, it...

👍👍 When I go to steak houses I have pretty set expectations: great food, nothing terribly inventive. And Ox + Anchor doesn't disappoint! The food was fantastic. We had the goat cheese croquettes and crab cake, as well as hanger and flat iron steaks with a side of potatoes. The crab cake: the crab cake...

👍👍 This is a super nice coffee shop with relaxing vibes and delicious coffee. I tried large hot americano and it comes with 4 shots of espresso. Creme was super deep and thick.

😐 Been here twice. Nice spot, good coffee. But the staff here either need to be replaced or given mushrooms. They all act stressed out like they're saving babies while simultaneously curing cancer. It's coffee. They should be having fun and engaging with the customers. If they can't handle the stress...
