Kreuzberg Coffee

By Lauren Boyer

Located on Higuera and in the heart of downtown San Luis Obispo is Kreuzberg California, offering coffee and more. Its namesake comes from the Kreuzberg neighborhood of Berlin. The coffeehouse is open 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., inviting you back for lunch and cocktails after your morning beverage.

On Wednesdays, Kreuzberg hosts an open mic night for local artists and singers to perform, as well as weekly Trivia Nights on Thursdays.

Operating as one of the larger coffee houses in San Luis Obispo, Kreuzberg always has ample seating. Dozens of tables in the main room surround the barista counter and extend into the backroom, which has an upstairs nook.

An homage to a famous Berlin street mural adorns the front left wall. Surrounding it are framed photos of famous authors. Kreuzberg also allows people to rent out their two front nooks to work out of.

It’s easy to spend the entire day in Kreuzberg, especially while enjoying an iced chai latte with their famous breakfast burrito.
