Barbie World Fantasy Things To Do in San Luis Obispo - California

Posted by San Luis Obispo Mom on Thursday, July 27, 2023 Under: Romantic
With the Barbie movie getting a lot of hype and a lot of people are dressing up in their pretty pink, I couldn't help with recollect places that I've visited that reminds me of Barbie.
Pink Drink at Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo at Their Bar(I ordered a pink drink at the Silver Bar Cocktail Lounge at Madonna Inn in San Luis Obispo.)

Here's my list of Suggested Barblie-like Things To Do in San Luis Obispo County:
  1. It's a no brainer for my first pick. The pretty pink boutique motel called Madonna Inn is our iconic Barbie place to be in San Luis Obispo. I've blogged about Madonna Inn (here's my list of blog entries about Madonna Inn) in many different entries because as a local, Madonna Inn is a special spot for us. We've dined at their Copper Cafe for special occasions, had two staycations in two different Madonna Inn rooms, hung out at their pool and even ordered whole cakes from them for pick up. Splashed in pink from the floor to other decor, you will be wowed by their restaurants, gift shops and rooms. See personal Pinterest photos below that I took myself. While you're there, don't forget to order the famous pink champagne cake!



    See my pictures of all of the cakes that I've tried from Madonna Inn. I've also attended a few events at Madonna Inn, including one that was inside of one of their banquet rooms. See my Youtube Short video of my walk around the Madonna Inn property before the event.

    Madonna Inn Address: 100 Madonna Rd, San Luis Obispo, CA 93405

  2. We have over 300 wineries in San Luis Obispo County (this includes our wine countries: Paso Robles and Edna Valley). I've blogged about the many wineries in our county as a local but what I haven't highlighted yet is a pink themed wine tasting room in Pismo Beach, one of our famous beach towns in San Luis Obispo County, called Cali Love Wine. Cali Love Wine's walls are pink, their place has feminine energy and it's right by the beach! See a photo of their karaoke set up below that I took during my visit earlier this year.

    If you're planning on an impromptu visit, check their hours because they are not open every day. Even before the Barbie movie came out, I felt like I was missing a pink dress when I entered here. Address: 180 Pomeroy Ave., Pismo Beach, California 93449

  3. Aside from the pink champagne cake that you can get from Madonna Inn (read under number 1 pick above), you can get a different type of dessert in a pink box at Crumbl. Crumbl is a chain that sells large cookies in different flavors but they always come in a pink box! Located in Pismo Beach and San Luis Obispo, both part of San Luis Obispo County, you can get their delicious cookies packaged in a nice pretty pink box. Here's a glimpse of my cookie order that they put in their pink box from my visit below.

    Their cookies are fresh and sweet!

  4. Made famous by Ted Ngoy starting in the 80s in Southern California, bubblegum pink cardboard boxes that are popularly used by donut shops are iconic and luckily, a number of San Luis Obispo County donut shops adopted this tradition. (Read more about this from this Food & Wine link). Besides for the chains, you can hope to expect that a nearby donut shop will give you a pink box when you order a dozen. Here are two places that I know for sure use pink boxes below.

  5. There is a Thai restaurant in Grover Beach called Bunn Thai that has pink walls! When I had dined here for lunch, the pink walls really uplifted my mood and made me feel so romantic. You see them right as you step through their doors.

    It was not meant to be a special lunch but it sure felt special. Read my full review of Bunn Thai. Address: 968 W Grand Ave, Grover Beach, CA 93433

Even though there are many pretty pink places to have a party or meet up with some friends, creating a barbie themed party at home is very doable with so many pink decoration ideas and supplies available.
