Kortado

Best mocha that I can remember having and an amazing array of breakfast (and lunch) items.

Perfect cafe stop on a bike ride around the central coast. Just off Pacific Coast Highway near the pier in Pismo Beach. The staff was very friendly and the coffee was hot! I ordered a nicely toasted ham and cheese croissant but was tempted by the petite baguettes sandwiches. I stuck with the pastry and it was stuffed with lots of ham and melty cheese and freshly toasted in the oven which hit the spot on a foggy morning ride. This is a good spot for a fuel up for cyclists and other caffeine seekers. 7-3 (closed on Mon)

Located between Pomeroy Ave. and Main St. by the City Public Parking lot on Dolliver St. with plenty of storefront parking and walking distance to the beach. This place had me at "Kortado". Besides coffee and tea, they serve smoothies, Sandos Sandwiches, pastries, oatmeal. I went in for a hot 'Latte' and I must admit, that first zip was amazing! Definitely the best Latte any coffee shop has made me so far. The store is clean and has a few tables to sit, chat, and enjoy your treat. Prices are reasonable. Service was great! Friendly and welcoming barista. Overall, I had a pleasant experience here and will definitely return.

Coffee and croissants here tasted really good. Staff is very friendly and barista prepared each order with love. Overall great vibe and good coffee shop for quick in and out. Seating and restrooms available if needed.

Really enjoyed a relatively new coffee/bakery spot in Pismo. If you come in the morning early enough, parking is not an issue. The coffee was great, but I suggest to get the Argentinian credential roll looking pastries. They were sweet and delicious.

I ordered a hot white mocha from Kristen. It was delicious and the service was great. This is a little coffee shop within walking distance of anywhere in downtown Pismo. Go give it a try!

My boyfriend and I went today , the cappuccino very good, the chai latte AMAZING, one of the best ones I had in this area . And I tried the medialunas very good! I’m from Argentina and I thought they were not going to be really medialunas but they are ! Good ones

So cute and super close to the pier! I love coffee and my sister loves matcha, but we both love baked goods! So this little bakery and café worked out perfectly for us. I got a strawberry crumble muffin and my sister got a matcha tea. Both were delicious and the employees were super friendly and knowledgeable. Next time I’m here, I’ll be a lot earlier. A lot of their items were sold out, which tells me other people love their baked goods too. I’ll update my review after I arrive early and can try a few more items.

We came mid morning today and found plenty of parking. This was our first visit although we are locals. Very clean and organized. Inside and outside seating. Outside table get early morning sun. Several inside tables along with a clean bathroom. Kristen, the barista was very efficient, cordial, welcoming and professional while sporting great smile. Coffee was tasty and hot while others had fancy coffees. They also commented on how good there's were prepped. The owner can be proud of the coffee and bakery shop quality. Thank you Kristen for making our first visit bright and cheery!

A true local gem! We feel very fortunate to have discovered Kortado Bakery and Coffee. Their coffee drinks are excellent — I especially enjoyed the half-sweet almond-milk mocha. But what really sets this place apart are the pastries, all baked fresh on site each day. The fruit and cheese Danish was absolutely sublime—easily one of the best pastries I’ve had in a long time. The medialuna was also very good: more subtle, but still deeply satisfying. You can clearly sense the care and pride that go into their baking—something that’s increasingly rare these days. We’re already looking forward to coming back to try more of their pastries.

Stopped here on our weekend is Pismo, Isaac was amazing. Coffee was phenomenal, bites were amazing. Best customer service we’ve received in a long time. Very kind, helpful and supportive. Thank you Isaac! We’ll be back through during our other trips!

This is a small, sweet coffee shop with baked goods, baguette sandwiches and a fair variety of drinks. Kristin greeted us with a smile as soon as we walked through the door. She made me an excellent tasting latte with heart latte art as a special touch :) The latte was one of the best tasting I have had and I have drank plenty! My baked good was yummy and my husband enjoyed his baguette sandwich.

This was hands down the best croissant I've ever had. I got a chocolate one and heated it up 20 seconds once I got home. It was flaky and soft on the inside and had a slight crisp on the outside. It had the perfect amount of chocolate. I also go an iced vanilla latte with almond milk and it was also very good.

Had to write this review immediately because the coffee is SO good. As Australian’s travelling through America, finding a good coffee has not been an easy task. Coffee at Kortado is the best we have found so far, it tastes like home! Staff were so friendly and helpful in helping us work out what to order. Wish we had longer in Pismo so I could enjoy another cup!

The bakery and sandwiches (including the bread and rolls) are made on site daily. Very fresh and well made with quality ingredients. Types of sandwiches rotate daily. They seem to all disappear by lunch time. Highly recommend picking one up with your coffee or tea.

Cute coffee place in Pismo Beach. It is close to the downtown and beach. Looks like a mom/ daughter business so I like to support that. We had a latte and an earl gray. Beautiful. Everything was clean and the decor was inviting with plenty of seating. Go check it out.
