$$$$ Brunch Railroad District Daily 08:00-14:00
Sally Loo's serves seasonal brunch plates and in-house bakes by the San Luis Obispo train depot, the Railroad District's weekend gathering point.
Order The breakfast burrito with sally sauce, plus a morning bake.
Tip The walk-up window sells coffee and pastries without the queue; the breakfast burrito earns its following.
$$$$ Brunch Downtown Daily 06:00-15:00
Louisa's Place flips omelettes and pancakes at a Higuera Street counter that has run as a diner since 1958, San Luis Obispo's breakfast constant.
Order Biscuits with anything; the batch rarely survives Saturday morning.
Tip The queue wraps the corner on Saturdays but turns fast; counter seats move quickest.
$$$$ Brunch Railroad District Daily 08:00-14:00
Bon Temps Creole Cafe brings beignets, gumbo omelettes and New Orleans noise to Osos Street mornings in San Luis Obispo's Railroad District.
Order Beignets first, then a Creole omelette with the house hot sauces.
Tip Order beignets the moment you sit down; they fry to order and take a while on busy mornings.
$$$$ Mexican Downtown Mon-Wed 09:00-15:00; Thu-Sun 07:00-17:00
Corazon Cafe folds Southern Mexican flavours into San Luis Obispo brunch, from chilaquiles plates to cinnamon-laced cafe de olla on Higuera Street.
Order Cafe de olla with the rotating Latin breakfast plate.
Tip The cafe de olla, spiced with cinnamon and piloncillo, is the order that sets it apart downtown.
$$$$ Brunch Upper Monterey Daily 07:00-14:00
Apple Farm Restaurant has poured coffee and scratch pancakes at its Monterey Street inn since 1977, San Luis Obispo's country-breakfast standby.
Order Apple Farm pancakes with a side of the house apple butter.
Tip Everything stops at 14:00; the French toast and eggs Benedict are the two orders locals defend.
$$$$ Brunch Downtown Daily 08:00-16:00
Seeds runs the light end of San Luis Obispo brunch, blending acai bowls, smoothies and mimosas on the Court Street plaza until mid-afternoon.
Order An acai bowl and a pressed juice after the Cerro San Luis hike.
Tip The Court Street patio catches morning sun; vegan and vegetarian builds are marked across the menu.
