Best avocado toast EVER! 2 people could probably share this 1/2 order, the basil aoli, feta and balsamic glaze are sooo good together with the bacon, acid and egg! Great service, friendly staff, and lots of other yummy menu items, fresh baked goodies and fresh brewed coffees. Make this a must try for breakfast/brunch or lunch!

10/10 Excellent

"Love the property and location. It's walkable to many fun places and the pizza place next door is awesome too. The evening wine and BBQ is very inviting and the staff is welcoming. The only issue we had is that they charged us twice for our pet to stay (we thought it would be a one time charge, I think it had to do with who was working the front desk). That said, we will definitely want to stay here again. "

Shore Cliff Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely room with fantastic view of entire Pismo Beach facing the pier. Binoculars in room. Nice balcony. Quiet, but for welcomed ocean sounds. Lots of breakfast choices, quick room cleaning, friendly staff Only problem...the elevator was not always working. It was a long haul up to the 3rd floor! Great restaurant next door with a 10% discount with your stay. (Ventana Grill)"
