Malibu Brew Coffee

some mornings you just need a place that isn't asking anything of you. atascadero isn't a city that demands much either, and malibu brew coffee on e mall fits that pace. the regulars here are consistent and vocal about it, which tends to mean something about reliability rather than novelty. you're not showing up to be surprised every single visit. you're showing up because it works. the coffee is taken seriously enough that people come back on purpose, not just out of convenience. atascadero sits in the salinas river valley, far enough from the coast that you feel the inland warmth most mornings, and a cup here suits that slower tempo well. if you're going to be on e mall anyway, make it a cortado before you get on with the rest of your day.
