What People's Say About Place

Checked out Field Day Coffee with a friend today. Space was utilized well as a coffee shop. Open and airy throughout the inside portion of the coffee shop. Ample outdoor seat which was a bonus, and just as the sun came out on our visit. Coffee was delicious and made to order correctly on the first time. I shared a Brown Butter cookie with my friend and it was Delicious. Pricing is fare and coffee tasted much better than other big brand coffee chains. Definitely recommend field day coffee if your visiting SLO.

This is the cafe where I crafted the story of the "Banana Man" and that story ended up changing my life and landing me a spot on the Moth Radio hour as well as on the Cal Poly Radio talk show. It holds a special place in my heart I don't think I would have been able to write the "Banana Man" story if I had not been sitting in a quite corner of this place on a sunny Monday Morning. The bagels are to die for.

As a flight attendant, I love to explore coffee spots all over the world, and I absolutely love the San Luis Obispo layover. This was my first visit, and I’ll definitely be coming back—it’s already a favorite. The California charm and vibe are unbeatable, and I really appreciate the overall aesthetic. There's something special about sipping coffee from a real mug and taking the time to sit and enjoy it. My cappuccino was fantastic—perfectly crafted.

Great spot for a coffee and pastry to start your day. Bright and airy space. In nice weather the garage doors open up to let in fresh air. Staff were friendly.

Great coffee spot here in SLO. Cool building that is very hippie where plants are actually finding their way to burrow through the walls. Staff was friendly, but a little slow for a busy work day. Coffee was tasty, so I will be back.

The cutest coffee shop in SLO , next to a thrift store and wine bar. The seating and outdoor space is lovely - very California coastal and casual vibes. Latte art is on point, pastries look delicious and overall love the aesthetics. We stopped by the wine bar next door and went shopping at the thrift store which was a perfect way to spending our Sunday morning.

my favorite coffee shop in slo!! service is always lovely & the espresso and matcha is so good

If a quality pour over wins you over, you’re going to have a field day at this place, truly! My husband and I stopped in yesterday morning to pick up coffee and a pastry on our road trip further north to Pinnacles National Park. When we looked at their pour over menu it was so hard to choose just one, so went all in with a cup of their drip and blueberry rosemary scone while we were waited for our two pour overs: -COLOMBIA RICARDO SILVA -BRAZIL DATERRA We were blown away by the quality of all three cups, the barista nailed the pour over preparation, and the scone was the perfect blend of savory with a dash of sweetness and herbal notes that rounded out our excellent experience. Highly recommend Field Day! We will be back for sure next time we’re in SLO.
