Apple Farm - San Luis Obispo

We had a lovely time at the Apple Farm restaurant. The wait to get in was pretty short (despite us having 6 people). The food was super filling and a good portion. Our service was so great (thanks Mary) and we loved meeting the baker, Paul, who gave usso much info about the items he had made that day. The pricing is comparable for the area.

Quaint restaurant. Not our first time eating here. We have eaten here several times over 20 yrs ago...it was better back then. That said however it wasn't necessarily a bad meal it was ok, just very greasy and expensive for what we got in terms ofquantity. Their housemade jam/fruit spread is absolutely amazing, my favorite part of the meal. They do not package it forselling in their bakery which is a disappointment. The restaurant was in need of some tender loving care. Tge corner aboveour table had a huge black widow web with flies trapped in it. Tgat was a definite turn off, especially when paying top dollarfor a mediocre breakfast. Service was ok, not the best but certainly not the worst. Just a bit if a disappointment for usbased on our previous great experiences and meals we've had there in the past. We took a stroll around the gardens and millhouse which was lovely. Giving it 4 stars because of their fruit spread/jam otherwise it'd get 3 stars.

This place used to be amazing great food and great atmosphere, unfortunately the new owners have slashed the hours, the staff and destroyed the atmosphere. I hope they restore it before it?s too late. Staff was amazi the bakery was delicious. I was ableto go back and the menu has drastically changed, the server was over worked and had no time for pleasantries. They were out ofthe country fried steak, they only have 9 breakfast items and they were out of one. I miss the preserves, the old menu, theatmosphere. The bakery has hints of their ability to still make the dishes they used to be known for but very minimal the pecanbread pudding was amazing.

One word, delicious!! The tomato basil omlette was recommended. The robust flavor of basil awakened my senses. The raspberry jam that was made that morning was perfectly paired with the sourdough toast and fresh brewed coffee. What a delightful way tobegin a Sunday Morning. The service from our waitress Abby was over the top. I truly hope this restraunt makes it through thecontinuing struggles of the current events. The core staff has been working hard to carry on. I also hope the priveledgedpublic doesn't judge to harshly. All this and still serving food fit for the gods. If you are looking for a greasy spoon thisis not the place.

Given that they're just recovering from the pandemic, I could only give then 2 stars just because their temporary menu (hopefully temporary) isn't like their old menu. I miss their scones and muffins that normally come with their meals withblackberry jam! You now order up front, take a number, then sit where you want. They were out of their green chili omelets. So Ijust went with boring pancakes. If you want water, you can get up and get it yourself. And they bring the food to you. I'd stillgo back in hopes that they'll soon recover from what's been going on these last couple years. They're still trying to hireemployees. I think I only saw two girls working really hard. So it must be hard to keep this business running. I'd like to givethem 5 stars but it's not really up to par with how they used to be. Best of luck apple farm inn
