Mike RomoMay 12, 2013Avoid the Peet's this one time and try this neighborhood gem. Great garden and low-key vibe. Expect bleary-eyed co-eds studying, 60s tunes and home baked food. Nice place.
Proxima ParadaDecember 10, 2013This is one of the first places we played at. We love the staff and the atmosphere, especially the back patio. Fantastic live music makes Linnaea's more than your average cup of Joe.
Tommy LeepMay 24, 2014Get the Espresso Eggs if you need a quick delicious breakfast bullet to the stomach. They get their name from previously being made on the espresso machine.
yael wagnerSeptember 23, 2013there's a microwave, free wi-fi, and great atmosphere. expect students and artists. meta a few on both visits.
Dominic MartinicoDecember 3, 2014SLO's best kept hidden gem! Exceptional and very knowledgeable staff. With a peacefully shaded terrace in the back to enjoy your coffee.

Jaymie SOctober 7, 2013During the week, Linnaea's has been a staple lunch stop for me. Try their food, its super yummy and healthy.
Inderpreet SinghSeptember 2, 2014The bagels are not vegan but they have a couple of vegan pastries. Got the apple muffin and if was good.
Great little find in downtown San Luis with a lovely back patio. Try the rice pudding and chai.
Aisha BoweJune 19, 2011Try the chewy ginger cookie, it's amazing! Once you have one, head out back to enjoy it near the fountain
Andrew KennedyMay 9, 2015Their spiced cider and chai tea are delicious, and the atmosphere is wonderful.
Beautiful outside patio, free wifi, large gluten free and vegan menu. Venue for musicians and artists as well- Mark HaileNovember 26, 2011One of these days I'm going to try --wait, I wanna get-- heck. After all these years, I still have to work my way down the menu...
- Must spend at least $5 to pay with a card. Bring cash if you only want one drink!
