“Pleasant local place to stop for Mediterranean fare. I had a Lamb Shawarma wrap that was great. Outdoor/indoor.”

“Amazing Reuben! Thanks Sarah!”

“Indoor and outdoor dining. The food and the service are wonderful! Top notch local ingredients. Way to go Feast!”

“This is our go-to occasion (birthday, anniversary, small milestones) restaurant. The portions are a good size, service is good, we’ve never had anything bad.”

“We were so hot touring Solvang and wanted to go into the first gelato place we could find... and we are so glad it was Via Gelateria! I had the hazelnut gelato and the salted caramel. Delicious!! Just what we needed to cool down.”

“The Mercedes Benz luxury electric car experience was made extra special because of The Inn at Mattei’s Tavern’s beautiful grounds and ambiance. The small town feel and picturesque landscape was so inviting, so I took a walked around the specially shops.”

“The venue itself is pretty nice. However. When there's special events, I think there should be more than one person serving. It took awhile for us to order or get our refills. I'm sure it's a much better service when it's not a special occasion. But, their biggest event is the Christmas parade time. They should have still been prepared. Their little patio area is very nice.”

“good service the cheese and flight worked out”

“It was nice and the atmosphere was great”

“To put things in perspective, I simply love the taste of pure coffee. I admire the elegant bean from drip to espresso. With this and even beyond into the fancy-pants lattes and holiday drinks, Queen Cup is always sure to tip the balance toward the beans — making certain the presence of coffee shines above all else. Behold, the vanquishers of goopy syrup and cloying drinks — Queen. Cup. Coffee. ☕🏆 ...oh yes, and their teas are rather quite lovely. 🧐🤌”

“Great food, wine, and ambience. They also have a petting zoo for kids, and they host parties too.”

“BB sushi is the best sushi in all of California, if not the US in my opinion! The sushi here has ruined all other sushi for me, nothing tastes as good. The quality of fish and ingredients they use is amazing and tastes delicious. The food is consistently amazing and I could eat here every day. Aside from the delicious food it is owned and run by the kindest people. We are so lucky to have them in our valley❤️ I recommend everything on their menu but especially the spicy tuna roll and otoro handrolls (my review is long overdue as I’ve been eating here for quite some time)”

“This is gonna sound crazy, but this is one of the best Mexican spots I ate in literally the world (my family is from Mexico City too so I grew up eating tacos)..The salsa aguacate was so rich no salsa falsa, the other salsas were equally as yummy! Gordita was filling and so was the carnita asadita taco, truly delicious flavor and not cheap ingredients. you can taste the difference here with every bite! Also the tortillas must be handmade def not store bought. I really need to find an excuse to come back here. Also there is a car wash and very cheap gas all connected, definitely a good place to stop !!! I wish I could go back here I’m dreaming of it, also very nice family working ❤️👍 for the price and flavor you need to come here !!”

“Just ordered 2 hot mocha coffees. Didn't expect much...wow! Truly delicious! Usually, these coffee shops have bitter coffee. Not this one. Highly recommend.”

“Always fantastic here cheers!”

“Phenomenal wines!. Blake is exceptional and knowledgeable and makes every trip there worthwhile. (They are appointment only.)”

“We stopped here as a backup option as all the restaurants in the area had long waits. It's very cute inside, well decorated and clean. Staff was friendly. There are some good options for breakfast other than just bagels. I would give the bagels a 4/5. My husband however got the French toast and rated that a 5/5.”

“Best wine in the Central Coast. Great experience at the family vineyard, feeding goats and tasting grapes right from the vine!”

“Leonardo's never disapoints. The food is fantastic and the staff is great.”

“Service was excellent, dinner suggestions were great and we loved our whole experience. Highly recommend”

“Would pick this winery 100 times over sunset. Service and wines are 10/10. Mary was very attentive and informative. The entire sampler was delicious. Ended up taking two bottles”

“My wife and I were traveling through Buellton and found this place for lunch. The food is incredibly delicious. I’m so glad we took the recommendation to get the lumpia. So good! I will be forever thinking of them. Every dish we ordered was a hit. The server was super cool and very helpful in making our selections. The owner was onsite and dropped by to check in on us. She was super kind and fun to chat with. If we lived anywhere near here we’d be regulars.”

“Best coffee in Solvang! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩”

“My husband and I ate lunch here for the first time. So good and the prices are very reasonable. We will be back Alex!”

“We did the tour and tasting and it was a wonderful experience definitely recommend. Brett was very knowledgeable about the grapes, vineyards and wine making process. Would recommend the tour and tasting and am hoping to come back during harvest season”

“The vibes here… if I owned a cafe, I’d want it to feel like this!

The array of books — for sale, and to read at one’s leisure — are what a community cafe is all about.

The first book I picked up felt so right that I had to purchase it!

The espressos were equally delightful: rich, expressive, chocolatey. It was so good, we had to get beans ground for our machine at home!”

“Leonardo's never disapoints. The food is fantastic and the staff is great.”

“Excellent and friendly service. Delicious brunch too”
