Your Downtown SLO Fall Starter Pack

How do you do autumn? A cozy layer, a sweet treat, something on the turntable...or all of the above? Downtown SLO has you covered. Take a stroll, pop into our local businesses, and see what catches your eye. There’s so much to explore, and here are a few great places to start.

Brew a little fall at HumanKind

Start your cozy-season ritual with pumpkin-spice loose-leaf tea from HumanKind Fair Trade. While you browse, check out their Toasted Pepita Pumpkin Spice Blend, felt pumpkin stems, and festive socks featuring haunted houses and trick-or-treating dogs for a few more ways to bring autumn home.
