The BEST place to buy local, organic produce as well as baked goods, bread and flowers. We visit a few times a week. Get there early for bread as it sells out each day.

The best sandwich shop on the Central Coast! Sandwiches are huge and fresh, salads are amazing, doobie bars are a great dessert. High Street is popular, so prepare to wait a bit if you go during busy times. Patio is so nice to sit an enjoy the food. You can call ahead and order. We love to stop here after a hike up Cerro San Luis, Bishop's Peak or Johnson Ranch.

One of our favorite places to eat in SLO. Always choose to sit on their heated patio. The ambiance is to die for! Great service, delish food. We love Sunday brunch here, but dinner and lunch are great too. Make reservations if you plan to visit during a busy time.

Our favorite Italian restaurant in SLO. They have a very nice patio as well. Really good authentic italian food. Owner was a Cal Poly student. Usually very busy and they don't take resos unless you are a big party. Go early if you don't want to wait.

Nice vineyard and tasting room that is about a five minute drive from our home. They have lots of outdoor tables with a view of the vineyard. Inside they have a gift shop with cute items, some that are local. Our favorite is their Pinot, which is much more smooth and has much more flavor than some Pinots.

Great hike up Cerro San Luis (Madonna Mountain). We like to access it from the back, which is adjacent to the SLO Dog Park/Laguna Lake Park. Usually plenty of parking.

Another great hike about halfway between our house and San Luis Obispo. Plenty of parking at the trailhead. They have a few different hikes that go in different directions. Some of these hikes are less strenuous than Cerro San Luis and Pismo Preserve.

Shopping

Our favorite place to shop for vintage and one of a kind antiques. Over 50 dealers sell their treasures here. Open every day 10am-5pm. They even have a restroom you can use (not during Covid surges) which is rare for antique shops. Friendly staff too!
