Apparently this is where all the cool kids hang out! This cafe was filled with students studying, and I totally get why- this cafe is tasty and has a great atmosphere. Coffee was delicious (banana bread mocha) and gluten free muffin was also yummy

Easily my favorite cafe around the neighborhood. Rusty runs it with a super friendly team. One of the only cafes to have housemade chai, pastries and beautifully light brunch menu. The peaceful back patio with birds, greenery and everything else you need to take a pause is perfect.

Linnaea’s probably has the best coffee in SLO. I come here very often, and the customer service is always top-notch. Every employee is beautiful in their own unique way, and it truly feels like such a welcoming environment. I will forever rave about this coffee shop and recommend it to anyone who wants quality coffee and amazing customer service!

This place is like no other. The only word to describe it: magical. Im waiting for the Michellan star to drop. I love that they are expanding with a bakery and bodega soon, and it shows that people love this business. They hold incredible values and support their super friendly staff. Id give it 10 stars if I could. Check out the back garden if you go!

I love this cafe! They have a really neat back area with plants and sofas, when the sun is out this is probably the perfect spot to go. I also highly recommend the iced matcha with lavender sweetener 🙂

Stopped at this local coffee shop there other day. Was actually pretty packed even though Scout odd just a few feet away. They have nice seating both indoors and out. Apparently they do music in the back sometimes. Ordered a vegan pumpkin muffin, it was amazing. I keep thinking about how good it was. Icing on top with a little bit of cinnamon and it was filled with a generous amount of chocolate chips. Ordered a cold brew and a hot latte with almond milk. Both were of good quality. I did enjoy the flavor of their espresso. My one gripe was that it just took a long time to make the drinks, but again, they were pretty busy and there isn’t that much space behind the counter to make the drinks. Definitely a great SLO haunt that I would visit again.

There’s a lot of coffee shop competition in SLO, but Linnea’s is OG, and that’s what’s cool. You feel like people have been coming here for decades, the coffee and tea is still delicious, the services still very personal, and back patio is simply the best in town. It makes you feel like time stops and you can stay there forever. Which is why it has been around for so long, and still going strong. The prices are very reasonable, especially considering some other coffee houses, the baked good selection is maybe not as bougie as other places, but there is vegan options and there’s a delicious little menu too. Lovely. A place you can take your best friend or your grandma to and it’s all good.

Cute little cafe with a garden in the back and a koi pond! Very zen and relaxing atmosphere. Short but sweet menu that offer light bites. Great vibes to work, read, study, or chit chat. Not too many outlets, but plenty of seating. The only downside is that parking is paid since it’s downtown, which discourages staying for long hours.

After I tossed my bad latte from another shop, I strolled over the Linnaea’s Cafe for another try at breakfast. I ordered a latte(of course) along with a coffee cake. The coffee cake was very well made and seemed like the ingredients were focused on healthy rather than sugary, which made for a great meal. Apparently, they make great eggs here but I didn’t order any since I wasn’t that hungry.
I sat in front where there is a window looking over the sidewalk though there is seating in back as well. Also, the building is old and they maintained much of the architectural feel inside the shop. I wish they had more buildings like this in Walnut Creek.
Next time I’ll give I’ll stop in for lunch. It’s definitely a great cafe.
