Poly Places: Linnea’s Coffee Shop

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Cal Poly chapter.

Tired of studying at the library or in the dorms? If so, head over to Linnea’s downtown. Linnea’s is cozy little place located right off of Broad Street in SLO. You can find Cal Poly students and other locals catching up here.

At the counter, you can order a range of different drinks from vanilla chai to seasonal pumpkin drinks.

Linnea’s also has a large assortment of cookie jars– whether you’re an oatmeal raisin lover or a vegan chocolate chip lover, there is something to be enjoyed here!

This cute little coffee shop also prides itself in vegetarian-friendly and healthful foods.

Her Campus recommends trying the special of the day because the dishes are crafted for that day and season, like butternut squash rissotto, which a-gourd-ing to us, is the perfect way to load up on wholesome fuel for studying.  

The space in Linnea’s is intimate and friendly. When walking in, there is a small area to the left where you can take a seat by the window or at a small table to catch up with a friend.

Just down the small hallway, the dining room sits cozily in the back room. The dining space is like walking into a family living room, comforting and peaceful. Along the walls, artwork and drawings of portraits are hung to add a heartwarming feel to the room.

Just off the dining room, you’ll find outdoor space with a patio decked out in backyard furniture and a small koi pond.

Whether you’re inside or outside, Linnea’s has a sweet study space for you to nestle in.
