1. Vieni Vai Trattoria
We have been patrons of Vieni Vai for 8+ years- satisfying food + stellar ambiance make this one of our favorites.
Great wood fired pizzas, homemade tasting pastas, and awesome tiramisu are all of note. Yes, the service is not awesome, but seriously,…More »
2. Baileyana Winery / Tangent Winery
Oh wow, that chardonnay! It says something that this was a standout even after tasting 4+ other wineries beforehand.
We showed up a few minutes before closing and the girls working did not want to serve us. I know that feeling of wanting to close…More »
3. Utopia Bakery Cafe - CLOSED
Nothing like a melt in your mouth almond croissant with a steaming cup of black coffee to start your day!
Another must for when we're in town
4. Crazy Jay's
Puts Forever 21 to shame.
Great shoes, clothes, bags, all for SO cheap. Sometimes I feel a tad too old to shop here, but whatever...
I always have to blow through here when I'm in town and it's great that they have chairs for the boys.
I wish I had a…More »
5. Klondike Pizza
Torn in writing this review.
LOVE the setting/atmosphere/$10 liter of decent red...
Not such a fan of the pizza! To me, sauce is everything, and this one is a bit too sweet.
Atmosphere definitely overcompensated for the pizza quality here, so much…More »
6. Black Sheep Bar and Grill
Great back patio- perfect place to enjoy a sunny afternoon with a pint and some kickass onion rings!
7. Ciopinot
I'm shocked at all these negative reviews. Yes, I could agree on the seemingly-hectic atmosphere, however this is to be expected in a relatively new restaurant.
Wouldn't you rather have more people working and able to serve you than have to wait…More »

Great new restaurant on the outskirt of the Higuera "restaurant clump."
My boyfriend's parents were… Read more »
8. Apple Store
My already flailing i-Pod suddenly has pulled a disappearing act.
As I am incapable of walking to work or running without my trusty sidekick, schlepped my way over to this store last night.
Walked in, spotted the floor employees in heinous looking blue…More »
9. Neil Griffith - MassMutual
Do you just need someone to tell you how to divvy your paycheck so you're actually living life and saving for a better one?
When I first began earning a steady paycheck, I had no idea what to do. I knew I shouldn't go blow the whole thing, but I…More »
10. Gaslight Lounge
I can't tell if I hate that I love this bar or if I love that I hate it...
The bf is very proud of his local roots. and very hating against all that is "poly"- namely, all the douche bag, underage accepting, fratastic bars downtown.
Him and his posse…More »
11. Stephen Ross Wine Cellars
Case and point that you don't need to have a winery and tasting room smack in the middle of a vineyard to find some phenomenal wine.
This tasting room and winery are in a business park -178 Suburban Road I believe. Very incognito.
Stephen's experience…More »
12. Firestone Grill
San Luis Obispo, CA 93401

Categories:
Barbeque,
American (Traditional)
Holy smokes, best veggie burger on the face of the planet. Avocado, sprouts, BBQ sauce, awesome patty...
I know the point of coming here is obviously not for the veggie burgers, and I do eat meat, but they are SO DAMN GOOD.
Lines move quick, don't be…More »
13. Yogurt Creations
Damn it, damn it. I don't want to like this place more than Balis....
Rootbeer float froyo? Hawaiian sherbert? Devils Food Cake froyo? This stuf is so addictive, it needs no toppings!
That and the frosted circus cookie toppings...there are no…More »
14. Koberl at Blue
Will write yet another glowing review- I LOVE restaurants that support dessert diners!
Maybe I don't want to shuck out big bucks on a full dinner, maybe I just have a damn large sweet tooth...whichever, I really don't like going into a restaurant for…More »

I have yet to experience an equivalently exquisite meal here in SF... eating at Blue is a magical… Read more »
15. Chili Peppers
Salmon fish tacos. Best ever.
This location definitely better than the other, and both are better Mexican food than most other places in town.
Wish they had some margs...
16. Therapy - CLOSED
San Luis Obispo, CA 93401
(805) 787-0570
Categories:
Women's Clothing,
Home Decor,
Shoe Stores
Isn't this supposed to be Therapy HQ?
I love all that Therapy provides the world with; but rude service and a disorganized space prompts me to do my Therapy in their SF spaces.
17. Cugini's Pizzeria & Trattoria
Great for a quick in n out caprese salad or other fancy italian salad- nothing to write home about- definitely some standout pizza. worth waiting for them to make you a fresh pizza...
18. Tolosa Winery
Tasted on the back patio on a beautiful late afternoon in SLO. Extremely knowledgeable pour-er? (Is that what they're called?)
As with all wineries, there are always your fair share of "know it alls" (including us i'm sure), but that's not what…More »
19. SLO Down Pub
I wish I could remember the glass of Zin I drank here!!
Huge pours, great space, great art, great vibe.
Saw a great show of local musicans something dune rats??
Awesome, awesome, awesome place- highly recommend if you can find it!
20. Big Sky Cafe
San Luis Obispo, CA 93401
(805) 545-5401
Categories:
Seafood,
Vegetarian,
American (New)
Yummy! Although I am a greasy diner breakfast type of girl; Big Sky is always a fun destination after a long morning of cycling.
Awesome cornbread and some great huevos rancheros.
A necessary destination each time we're in town!
21. Novo Restaurant And Lounge
Been back here a few times now- perfect for a light lunch in the sun overlooking the creek or a romantic dinner on a warm summer night...
the salmon bisque here is is unlike anything i've experienced- creamy, light, not too fishy...absolutely amazing.…More »

Definitely eat on the outside patio- don't get stuck in the basement! They have great service, heat… Read more »
22. Natural Foods Co-Op
I'm pretty sure this is the beautiful co-op the bf took me to last weekend...
Tucked away on a residential street, I felt like a child in Disneyland here. Everything, and I mean everything looked amazing!
I walked out with some gorgeous avocadoes,…More »
23. Central Coast Kayaks
PADDLE BOARDS!
Searched high and low on internet, yelp etc... for a place down here that rents paddleboards. There was absolutely no surf the other weekend, thougth this would be a cool aternative.
Place is great, affordable, quality gear.
24. Old West Cinnamon Rolls
Good grief these things are A M A Z I N G. Go for whatever's freshest- definitely try the pecan roll. Gooey, warm, sweet, cream cheese...yummmmmmm. No trip to the area is complete without trying one of these suckers out
25. Luna Rustica
Oh how I covet this store. The entire decor of my apartment was based off a tissue holder I got here!
From beautifully crafted dark wood cabinetry and tables to colorful mosaic tables and mirrors.everything here has personality and looks like it…More »
26. Zorro's Cafe and Cantina
Go for the chilaquiles! Do it! All of the Mexican food-inspired items are phenom- burritos, huevos rancheros...i've never found the 2 eggs to be anything worth writing home about.
Mark this place for roadtrips down the 101 (as it's right off freeway),…More »
27. Cool Cat Cafe
I am the opposite of a Cool Cat eating here- I am a giddy, milkshake slurping 5 year old wannabe.
The bf grew up eating at Cool Cat's, and has been trying to lure me away from Firestone towards here for years. I must say, they are nothing to…More »
28. Thomas Hill Organics
Anyone else find the waiters' T-shirts emblazoned "THO" slightly humorous? Anybody?
5th grade sense of humor aside, what a magical experience.
I remember reading that the chef of THO is a gorgeous 20 something French girl with neither formal culinary…More »
