Red Bee is an excellent place to get coffee and even have a small gathering. With both indoor and outdoor seating available there should be plenty of room.I got a dirty, spicy chai and the foam they used was amazing AND thick!They have background music at the perfect volume and I also noticed that the music was positive. Something I would want my kids to hear.

Stopped by really early and was pleasantly surprised they we’re open. I picked up some coffees and a hot chocolate (the kids said it the best they ever had), they had a good assortment of pastries and baked goods. The was clean and the staff were friendly and helpful.

I love small coffee shops. vibe was classic. If you are a coffee aficionado, get a drip coffee or head over to the coffee roaster in town... My cappuccino was really just warm milk with a splash of brown.

Driving home and not wanting to stop at a chain coffee house….it was a little off the beaten path but SO worth the stop. Great coffee! Great breakfast sandwich and croissant! Great atmosphere. Everything I needed for the long drive. Thank you!!

I loved their chai latte with almond milk, which was tasty and spicy. Loved the service too. They took photos for us with their gorgeous Christmas tree decorations. They have a variety of gluten free options!

We ordered a latte with honey lavender syrup and a pour over of a light roast.The latte was tasty with a light, floral sweetness.The pour over was delicious! Im sorry I didnt take a photo of the bag of coffee so I could remember what it was. It did end up being a specialty pour over which I did not realize when I placed the order, so make sure you know what you are asking for.In summary, go here for good coffee.

I recently moved to the area and just discovered this charming coffee shop just a two minute walk from my home. The minute you walk in you get a sense of the old-world style blended with the present. Such a personable feel to the place. The coffee is amazingly delicious! I highly recommend Red Bee Coffee!

A really beautifully finished independent coffee shop. Super comfortable and zero pretentiousness at this shop. Just real people doing a fantastic job making quality drinks and food. Grover Beach is lucky to have a shop like this. Support local businesses, stop in and you won’t be disappointed. Well done Red Bee Coffee!!!!!

I’ve tried this coffee house about 5 times now. I have ordered something different every time hoping find something I like but I have hated every single cup of coffee I have gotten here. I tried to pass off my coffee to my husband but he hated them all too. The coffee is very bitter and has a strong fruity taste. Their bags of coffee beans list the ingredients and it looks like some of the coffee has blackberries, lemongrass or bell peppers. I have tried to get recommendations from the associates for a smooth (no fruit) latte but the don’t seem to be very knowledgeable about the coffee. It’s a shame because I walk past this coffeehouse on my way to the beach.

I went to Grover beach for the first time ever this weekend to visit my bf and found this adorable spot within walking distance from his house. EVERY THING is amazing, local and fresh (the pasteries are to die for and made in house from mom, who runs the food side)Needless to say myself, the bf and dog walked there not only 2 times but 3 in my 2 day stay and enjoyed the outside seating every time.I enjoyed quad espresso, soy cortado with add shot and a soy iced orange mocha (seasonal) all were AMAZING. He had an iced caramel late and a hot caramel late both with almond milk. For food we had the ginger cookie (2 times, 1000% reccomend) and the veggo frittata (again, reccomend)Noni was AMAZING, as well as the manager of the coffee side. I enjoyed everything from the ambiance, food, coffee and conversations. I really cant wait to return!!!

We keep trying to get an excellent coffee when we visit my family- when we saw Red Bee had Klatch coffee, we figured they must know what they were doing and we weren’t disappointed. They could have a safer system for physical distancing, but the coffee was amazing. With little effort- they could make it feel safer AND serve amazing coffee. If they tighten up the physical distancing would like to try some of their food. It looks good.

Super disappointed in this local place. I thought I would be able to order by phone and pick up curbside during a pandemic. Nope. Nobody picked up. We parked outside the establishment and saw people sitting in there with no masks. No thanks. Will not spend my money in a high risk Covid establishment. How sad.

Review №33

This was some of the smoothest espresso Ive had in a long time. Would have given them five stars but the wait was fairly long for not being very busy. Also they had a strange picture of John the Baptist with dreadlocks. No need to be sacrilegious.Cont...Thanks for the reply. Dreadlocks are associated with a lifestyle that is directly in contrast with Johns teaching. Remember, John the Baptist was one of the most righteous men to ever walk the Earth. Having even an appearance of evil is sin, and since the rastafarian lifestyle is filled with acts contrary to the Bible, I doubt John would appreciate being associated with such.Additionally, the Bible tells us in 1 Corinthians 11:14 that it is a shame unto a man to have long hair. So, intentions aside, the art is sacrilegious.Perhaps the artist would like to depict a similar picture of Mohammed? Im pretty sure he ate honey as well.

Great place to hang out, work, and get a great coffee. The have paninis that range from $6-7 that are delicious. The portions are small, but the quality and flavor are high. And then they have muffins, pastries, lemon bars, energy bites and more. Im there often for a snack, latte, and quiet place to work. The staff is extremely friendly. They know a lot of their customers by name and order, are always smiling, greet you on your way in and say bye on your way out. Its a lovely local coffee shop.

We passed by this place yesterday while going to Oceano Dunes State Beach. We made it there this morning and was greeted as we came through the door. The staff was family oriented and after asking, we were told theyve been here for a year and the business belongs to the daughter in law and husband. The dirty chai was excellent and I recommend ordering it for here so you can enjoy the large mug it comes in. The interior decor is rustic, warming and inviting. An updated cash register iPad takes payment and accepts tips. Sign with your finger and enjoy your beverages and paninis!

Exceptional! I got the house drip coffee and my wife got a cappuccino. The drip coffee was exceptional and like an Americano. My wife said be cappuccino was wonderful. There are actually very few real coffee shops Andy Grover Beach Arroyo Grande area so this is now at the top of my list have places to go get a serious cup of coffee. I love real coffee shops that are not Starbucks! If you are anywhere near Grand Avenue and youre searching for good coffee dont even hesitate to drive down to this end of town its totally worth it. I cant speak for the pastries and desserts but they looked great in the case. I did hear that they are all homemade there.

Probably the highlight of my memorial weekend here. They KNOW how to brew their coffee and it doesnt taste burnt or too sugary like Starbucks. I will be coming back here to try all their other drinks when Im in town again!Staff is also so friendly and knows exactly what theyre talking about when you ask them about the espresso and more.Get the white chocolate blended coffee. Its amazing and looks great!!!!! GO HERE NOT STARBUCKS

We came here to have a cup of coffee and wait for our friends on an ATV excursion. I love the wonderful home style restaurant. The crew here are all family and very friendly to everyone. And, they make great drinks and very cheap prices compared to the national chain. All their desserts are hand made fresh and you can taste it. Our favorite was their lemon bars which they make with fresh lemon from their lemon tree.

I’m in town for days off from my traveling job as an entertainer coach driver. Walking around the area, enjoying the beach and town. Tired of walking, I decided to catch a bus back to my hotel. I went into Red Bee to make change for the bus and they refused me and said I needed to purchase something first. Although I make six figures, they could’ve just made change from the tip jar. I left feeling like I had been discriminated against and treated like I was just some bum off the street. I needed the change so I bought a piece of zucchini bread. However, this type of move is total discrimination against the poor and homeless, pure and simple, it’s an old trick and it’s wrong. What if all I had was $10 to my name and I was trying to catch a bus for a job interview or the like. Now, I’m out $3 just to get $1.50 in change for the bus. It’s stealing, period. Screw this business owner.

Crosby the owner knows coffee like nobody i know; best coffee around for sure.. this place also has solid gift of hospitality. Owners have lived all around the world and have been working coffee shops for ages and crazy passionate about doing coffee well.. so they set the bar at a super high standard wise; you will see. They also really gets espresso drinks in regards to quality. They also use Klatch coffee which I guess won the World espresso competition in 2014. You wont be disappointed!!
