Scout Coffee

Came across Scout Coffee on Yelp while looking for Chai Latte, and glad it came up! Been coming here for a long time and haven’t made my way in yet, glad I did! The place/aesthetics are nice, friendly service, along with a nice menu, and food selection. I got the Chai Seed pudding, and a Honey Lavender Matcha, both are very good! Never had a Chai pudding with a top layer of peanut butter, definitely liked it. The Matcha is not over powering, nicely balanced. The young lady did suggest more syrup (lavender) to sweeten it up a bit of I liked it sweeter, so I did. Will be a for sure go to when in town. All in all: Friendly service, good menu selection, good food/tea & coffee. Well worth the visit!

We stopped here on our way back to LA and I’m so glad we did. The staff were very friendly. We loved looking around at the merchandise they had. Really a welcoming, spacious coffee shop. We got a matcha and raw sugar and whiskey latte. Both delicious!

First visit to Scouts this week was pleasant! Open and airy with a lot of different seating options. Very happy with our selection of drinks and pastries. Be prepared to leave smelling of coffee, which is not a bad thing! Service was great, quick, and friendly. No complaints. We will be regulars

Their wilderness syrup in a latte is so unique; it's akin to a lavender flavor, but not as floral. I love that creativity! The savory danish was also delicious and so flakey. If I'm back in the area, I will stop by again!

Scout Coffee was a find! Super spacious and chilled, serving delicious speciality coffee (the drip was amazing!) and fresh pastries. Located within an old bank with a roastery on one side and bakery on the other, it oozes with character and charm. We especially enjoyed the shelves with gifts and homeware. We left with a coffee cup, a selection of cards and full bellies. Thank you for your warm hospitality.

Mocha lover here. The best tasting, most beautiful mochas ive ever had! Lovely spot, the old Bank of America in Morro Bay. Love how they left the bank door attached like the old B of A in Los Osos. Great treats and merchandise too! Love the vibe. Family friendly too.

I go here for the Morning Bun. But all of their pastries look good. The bun is buttery, crispy with lots of sprinkled sugar. It's got to be good. Just right for that sugar fix in the morning. Located in a converted bank. It did have lots of free parking in the back. But they are finishing up construction of EV solar charging station. In side is very clean, nice place to meet friends or hangout with a cup of Joe. They also have a nice outdoor patio area on the west side.

Wow. Coffee is amazing. Me and my husband got oat latte with extra shot and it was just so good! We were in SF right before we drove down to Morro Bay and we visited popular coffeehouses in SF (different one every day) and we thought Scout Coffee had the best coffee among all the coffees we drank this week. We love the coffee, pastries, interior and their goods. We will definitely come back when we’re in town.

Great coffee and pastries. Had iced Vanilla Latte, Raspberry/Chocolate Scone,and Sunrise pastery. Puppucino was a treat for our dog Macchi. Clean bathrooms, light/fun decor, and friendly staff.

Had a very yummy hot cocoa here. A super manicured and cute atmosphere. Would absolutely come back. Did not try the food. Good outdoor seating!

I like the almond pastry they have it had some sort of jam in there too. It was cool they have the story of them converting of from a bank to a shop. It’s beautiful. My husband enjoyed his coffee.

The environment is a modern warehouse style, very light and airy, big windows looking out to the street, large farmhouse style shared tables and high top seating along the window as well as a sunny deck. Chai latte is great, very spicy - tastes homemade. Good coffee. The pastries are excellent, gift section is very cute and inspiring. Nice mellow music being played.

You know the coffee’s good when you can’t leave without a bag of beans. Absolutely loved our morning at Scout: great vibes, terrific roasts, a fresh and flaky croissant, and a GF DF ginger molasses Cookie (!!!) 🍪 what more could one want from the world?!

Very good baked goods and coffee ! The scones in particular have the perfect consistency and have great original flavors (I took the honey cinnamon crème fraiche). The atmosphere is also very cute. Only slight drawback is it took quite a long while to get the coffee order. But worth the wait if you're not in a rush.

What a wonderful atmosphereIf you just need to escape from the busy life of the beach, ha ha. Just up into this wonderful amazing atmosphere and have the most delicious peppermint latte, very elegant.

I grabbed a Vanilla Bean Latte here at the Scout Coffee Morro Bay location. Guess what? It’s actually a remodeled bank! They’ve got images inside that show how they did the renovations from start to finish. It’s pretty interesting to see the full transformation while also keeping some of the banks original elements. Of course, the coffee is also well-made and delicious. My vanilla bean latte was so creamy and had a nice vanilla flavor that wasn’t too overpowering. My parents got the Sunshine Special Latte, which had a hint of orange, it was surprisingly smooth. The staff was very courteous and they answered our questions about the menu and provided great recommendations for my parents who weren’t sure what they wanted. Scout Coffee is one of the best places to visit in the SLO area, so you definitely have to check it out when you’re in Morro Bay or SLO. Oh, and don’t forget to check out the vault when you visit!

1st timer on vacation at Morro Bay State Park campgrounds. A nice little 5 minute drive to “the coffee spot” in town apparently. It was popping and busy in here on the Saturday before Easter. The choice of fresh coffee beans, tea leaves, hot, cold drinks …. Anyone can find their drink here. I’m going for a latte decaf with their house made syrups where the helpful and kind Kristi helped me to choose RAW SUGAR + WHISKEY - say what! With camping, it will stick to the bones good and keep me warm on these windy, cold afternoons. It’s not overly sweet, get it with almond milk. The wilderness latte sounded amazing also - next trip, next latte. Bring your friends, family, kids, dogs. Sit outside, inside, bar top, farm style table, and take home a bag of whole coffee beans.

This place offers truly unique coffee drinks. The bakery items are high quality and delicious. The open space in the old bank building is a nice place to hang out, if you can get a seat. It's usually really busy! Morro Bay is finally getting some nicer places back in the town!

This newly renovated bank building turned coffee shop in Morro Bay on Morro Bay Blvd is a must stop on your next trip to the coast. The pastries and coffees and teas all will please your senses and tastes. The help and staff are amazingly friendly and way better than any Starbucks, my opinion. I love the afternoons before dinner to order a late afternoon tea and sit around the outside patio that is absorbing the last few rays of sunshine before evening. There are many more reasons to visit, but I just wanted to grab your attention with a few quick point above. If coffee shops with homemade pastries is your thing, you won't be disappointed!

Manicured coffee shop, hitting all the check boxes for hippy trendy. Roastery on premises, good selection of pastries, good presentation Barista needs to be 10x more caffeinated, it's 7:30 no line at the register and more than 12min before they even started preparing. I like to spend time in a coffee shop, but WITH my coffee in front of of me, not waiting for it. They also have online orders which does not help. If I'm done eating my pastry before you even started making my drink you have failed Nice presentation, latte art.

Went here for an afternoon coffee since my favorite Morro Bay spots close earlier. They didn't have a dark roast, and their drip coffee was pretty mid. My godson's latte was pretty good, however. The staff felt like a little too cool for school coffee snobs and we're off putting. The place has a nice aesthetic for a bigger town but feels too sterile for a small coastal town. I'll stick with Rudie's Rock and Top Dog for my future coffee in Morro Bay.

The coffee is best anywhere, but the service is painfully slow. Expect at least a 20-minute wait every time, often exceeding 30 minutes. Waiting so long is unacceptable, especially considering how busy this place is. If you’re going to charge premium prices, you need adequate staff, equipment, and systems to handle the volume. Keeping in mind, I’ve been a loyal customer for over two years, and no matter the location, time of day, or time of year, the experience is always the same. Amazing coffee does not excuse terrible service.

My husband and I's first time here. I really wanted to like this place since it looked super cute and homey. I ordered a butterscotch iced latte and my husband got the hot mocha latte. Unfortunately, neither drink was good. The mocha tasted thin and watered down, and the butterscotch latte was too, watered down milk in a plastic cup. I asked if my latte could be remade, and while it was, the interaction felt cold and dismissive. I simply wanted a drink that tasted like what I ordered. The remake ended up tasting even more off than the original. At that point we chose to just leave and go a few minutes down the road to The Human Bean (highly recommend!) where the quality and service were much better. It’s just really disappointing because I don’t expect perfection, just decent coffee and basic customer service. This visit didn’t deliver either.

I visited this location with my wife and ordered a mocha and a butterscotch iced latte. Unfortunately, the mocha tasted watered down, and the butterscotch latte tasted like plain milk with barely any flavor. When my wife politely asked if the latte could be remade, the staff member responded with a dismissive attitude. Although the drink was remade, it ended up tasting worse than the first one. We ultimately decided to leave and went to The Human Bean, where the quality and service were much better. Very disappointing experience overall.
