Cozy Little Gem Love this spot! Their coffee is always smooth, the beignets are fluffy perfection, and the bagels are fresh flavor bombs. You can tell they put care into everything they make. I’ll definitely keep supporting this local cafe and hope they can continue to grow! I’m grateful they have such a convenient location near the airport right off the highway.

These beignets are out of this world! My honeyed pumpkin spiced latte was delicious, too, but the beignets.... words can't describe how good they are! Crispy and soft at the same time. I work with several "foodies" including a professionally trained pastry chef. I brought a box of beignets into the office and everyone was raving about them! Thank you, David and Clara!

Such a great addition town! Beignets are SO good, it’s almost dangerous to buy them because you’ll just never stop eating them. Can’t recommend enough 100/10 stars ⭐️

The Second Line serves up the freshest fluffiest beignets in this SLOCAL land!! We are so very spoiled to have the real deal here on the central coast so make sure you don’t take this heartfelt operation for granted and get yourself a fresh beignet as often as you can!!

I was so happy when Second Line opened up right across the street from my work! Our little area across from the airport doesn’t have much to offer as far as coffee. The coffee, beignets, and bagels are amazing… the bagels are actually my most favorite thing they offer. They also have a killer mocha. The staff is always friendly and the customer service never lacks. I can’t wait to see what they do with that space in the future, it would be great if they had some indoor seating. Please stay forever, Second Line! I’m already craving my bagel that I’ll get on Tuesday.
