$$$$ Brunch Downtown
Seeds blends acai bowls, smoothies and paninis on Court Street plaza, San Luis Obispo's default refuel after a morning on the Cerro San Luis trails.
Order An acai bowl and a pressed juice after the Cerro San Luis hike.
Tip The Court Street patio catches morning sun; vegan and vegetarian builds are marked across the menu.
$$$$ Brunch Downtown
Louisa's Place flips omelettes and pancakes at a Higuera Street counter that has run as a diner since 1958, San Luis Obispo's breakfast constant.
Order Biscuits with anything; the batch rarely survives Saturday morning.
Tip The queue wraps the corner on Saturdays but turns fast; counter seats move quickest.
$$$$ Brunch Railroad District
Sally Loo's serves seasonal brunch plates and in-house bakes by the San Luis Obispo train depot, the Railroad District's weekend gathering point.
Order The breakfast burrito with sally sauce, plus a morning bake.
Tip The walk-up window sells coffee and pastries without the queue; the breakfast burrito earns its following.
$$$$ Brunch Upper Monterey
Apple Farm Restaurant has poured coffee and scratch pancakes at its Monterey Street inn since 1977, San Luis Obispo's country-breakfast standby.
Order Apple Farm pancakes with a side of the house apple butter.
Tip Everything stops at 14:00; the French toast and eggs Benedict are the two orders locals defend.
$$$$ Brunch Railroad District
Bon Temps Creole Cafe brings beignets, gumbo omelettes and New Orleans noise to Osos Street mornings in San Luis Obispo's Railroad District.
Order Beignets first, then a Creole omelette with the house hot sauces.
Tip Order beignets the moment you sit down; they fry to order and take a while on busy mornings.
$$$$ Brunch Downtown
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.
