Meet Kai Shave Ice, a locally owned spot bringing tropical flavors and island vibes to the Central Coast! 🌊

The idea started with co-owners Hector De La Fuente, Alejandro Flores, and Marco Lucatero, who bonded over their love of visiting shave ice shops on family trips to Hawaii. After months of planning and perfecting their recipes, Kai opened its doors for a soft opening on June 18, 2026! 💛

🍧 What’s on the menu?
🥭 Hawaiian-style shaved ice with a variety of flavorful syrups
🥤 Tropical dirty sodas with creative, island-inspired combinations
🍓 Açaí bowls for a refreshing treat
🍚 Poke bowls for something savory and satisfying!

📍 Right in the heart of Morro Bay!
Find Kai at 255 Morro Bay Blvd, just a short stroll from the Embarcadero and Main Street! That makes it a great stop while exploring downtown, browsing local shops, or spending the day enjoying Morro Bay. 🌊🛍️

Whether you’re cooling off after a beach day or just craving something sweet, Kai is a fun spot to add to your Morro Bay list! 🌞🍧

🦎🐢🦜 Have you checked out BK’s Reptiles & Zoo in Grover Beach yet? 🐍🐸

If you’re looking for something a little different to do on the Central Coast, this locally owned, family-run spot is home to reptiles, amphibians, insects and lorikeets, with plenty of opportunities to get up close and interactive with the animals!

BK’s Reptiles & Zoo opened its doors in Grover Beach in May 2026, but owner Andrew Barton’s love of reptiles goes back much further. 🦎 Andrew fell in love with reptiles when he was about 5 years old, growing up in Louisiana and catching turtles, frogs, snakes and fish. 🐢 After years of planning and dreaming about opening his own zoo, BK’s Reptiles & Zoo finally became a reality right here on the Central Coast! Today, the zoo is home to 50+ reptiles, amphibians, insects and lorikeets. 🐊🐍🦜

🎟️ WHAT CAN YOU DO THERE?
This isn’t just a walk-through zoo. There are several hands-on experiences available:

🐢 Turtle Feeding
Feed live worms to the turtles in the pond! This experience is $5 and is suitable for all ages.

🐢 Tortoise Feeding
Get up close with the giant Sulcata tortoises and hand-feed them for $5. Just remember to keep those fingers clear of their mouths! 😆

🦜 Lorikeet Paradise
Step inside the aviary and hand-feed the lorikeets nectar. With more than a dozen birds in the aviary, there’s a good chance one might decide that YOU are the perfect landing spot. 😂🦜

🐍 Reptile Zoo
Explore the walk-through reptile zoo and see a variety of reptiles, amphibians and other animals up close. And depending on the day, you may even get the chance to see some of the animals outside their enclosures for a closer look!

🛍️ THERE’S ALSO A REPTILE STORE
The front of BK’s is a reptile specialty store where you can find animals, habitat supplies, feeder insects and other reptile-related products.

So whether you already have a scaly friend at home or you just want to come see some fascinating animals, there’s something here for you. 🦎

📍🕙🎟️ PLAN YOUR VISIT
Visit @bksreptilezoo for location, hours, and current prices for zoo admission and hands-on experiences!

Whether you’re a serious cheese lover or just looking for a memorable stop along Highway 1, this is one place you won’t forget!

✨ **Tips for your visit:**
🐐 Reserve your tasting in advance since spots often fill up.
🧀 Come hungry! The cheese tasting is absolutely worth it.

📸 Bring your camera because the views (and the goats!) are incredibly photogenic.
👨‍👩‍👧 Bringing kids, or in a group of 8 or more? Be sure to email before your booking to ask about pricing.
