The servers were professional and helpful. The coffee was great not bitter. Nice atmosphere, clean and so was the restroom.

You need to look no further for a grand cup of joe. This coffee is as rich and round as a devil's food cake. I don't know where the beans are from, I don't know the owners and I don't know all of their preparations, but this I can guarantee, there isn't a better cup of coffee to be had... More

THE best toasted bagel and cream cheese I've had in years. Excellent coffee and espresso drinks. Funky laid back and cool coffee shop vibe you expect in college towns.

Top Dog is the quintessential local hangout in Morro Bay. You will see locals of every age and hear discussions on every local topic. It is warm and comfortable and a great place for coffee and a paper. However, the service, especially for prepared food items, can be very slow so don't plan on being in a hurry.

Have eaten here on numerous occasions on my recent trips to Morro Bay. They open very early for those who need it. I especially like their loose tea, which they pour into a tea bag. A couple of notches above the breakfast coffee shops that give you a metal pitcher of lukewarm water and a factory produced tea bag. I... More

We like the idea of the independent coffee house...the free style ambience, which Top Dog has. That said, the cappuccinos we had were just not that good. Mine actually had a burnt taste. My husbands on the other hand wasn't quite hot. So we won't be back. Three stars for friendly service and ambience, otherwise two stars for the coffee.

Some prefer Starbucks. But if you're looking for something funkier, you can't go wrong when in Morro Bay. Artists, writers, college students all gather here with their iPads, Laptops and coffee in a slightly cramped space. You'll notice local art on the walls, and corrugated tin wainscoting adds to the Morro Bay ambience. Top Dog used to be "Two Dogs"... More

Never saw so many different types of chai lattes. Locals hold court here every morning...great conversations and opportunities to meet new people.

This place is like a coffee shop found in San Francisco during their hippie period of the 1960's. It's very cozy with, hand written menu boards and bulletin boards loaded with local happenings. Their coffee was good, although nothing exceptional, The young man behind the counter was very pleasant and quite ready to talk about coffee and the differences among... More

Great people, great coffee, and wifi. These folks know what they're doing when it comes to all things coffee. Whenever I'm in Morro Bay, I stop here. Want a good start to your morning? Start here!
