Ive been here a couple times and every single time it is amazing! I love the energy and vibe of all the workers, the coffee AND food is great (lots of places make me feel like i have to pick good food OR good coffee, but not here!) i plan on coming back often!

super cute cafe! the drinks were amazing. i had the hot sweet chai with almond milk and my friend got the matcha latte. the chai is amazing. i ordered the sweet version but it still had a little spice to it. beware that the matcha latte isn’t sweet at all. the service was amazing, workers are super sweet. atmosphere is 10/10 they have $1 books and board games for free. would def recommend checking this place out

Okay - I don’t know how they did this but they literally made a snowman on their latte. I’ve never seen another coffee company take this much time and attention to creating their coffee art. It was such a magical experience and the vanilla latte was also delicious. So grateful for this cool spot. We also purchase Kaffein coffee mugs and used them on a recent camping trip because they are super cool tin cups that are nostalgic camping gear!

Kaffein is one of the few places in San Luis Obispo that offers ceremonial grade matcha 🍵 Their costumer service was excellent. The owner was friendly and talked to us to make sure our order was correct. 👍🏽 I highly recommend Kaffein Coffee Company if you are looking for a place with beautiful natural light, relaxing atmosphere and friendly costumer service.

GREAT spot.... Parking Lot. Americanos were good and the shop has a skylight and huge windows which allow plenty of natural light. Electrical outlets at each table for those needing to charge a cell phone. Friendly staff. We'll be back! Book rack inside is $1 a book... super cute idea!

I love stopping here in the mornings on my walk to work. The Baristas are friendly and attentive. It was a nice vibe, regulars with dogs welcomed and the pricing!! Way less expensive than any other coffee place near downtown for the same coffee drink!

Most friendly and welcoming cafe atmosphere and great customer service. Can’t stay enough good things about all the staff and the owner. The put a lot of care into everything. Highly recommend the mango sticky rice matcha and strawberry matcha. They have high quality matcha that’s made the right way. The owner Kenney is amazing and so friendly. Lots of pastries as well, and they have tofu donuts made with rice flour that I wasn’t sure about but they’re moist and delicious but not overly sweet I was impressed with them and highly recommend.
