“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.”

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

“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.”

“Amazing Solvang experience. Savannah took amazing care of us. Jason and Melissa were very experienced with wine and gave us great education and history of wines. The food was amazing. We had a shrimp dip and a gourmet grilled cheese sandwich. Small family owned business that’s super friendly and amazing.
10/10 would come back!”

“good service the cheese and flight worked out”

“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. 🧐🤌”

“It was nice and the atmosphere was great”

“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 !!”

“Always fantastic here cheers!”

“Best coffee in Solvang! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩”

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

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

“This was such a cool spot! My husband and I were spending the weekend in Solvang, and our Uber driver highly recommended this place- so glad we followed her recommendation. The cafe has a very unique chic-earthy vibe, the guy at the register (possibly owner?) was super helpful with menu decisions, and the food we got was absolutely delicious. My husband got the classic bacon and egg bagel sandwich, which was exceptional. I got the birria and egg bagel, which was this amazing combination of flavors that I’d never experienced before and that worked together perfectly. And it was only maybe a 6-minute drive from Solvang. 10/10, I would go out of my way to go here again if I was anywhere near the area.”

“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 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”

“Excellent food, service and ambiance. Quickly greeted by the host and sat very promptly. 3rd time we've been and other staff remembered us and came by to say hi! This time we ordered off the specials menu and were happy we did. All the dishes were fresh and delicious! This place is a hidden gem in Buellton. Highly recommend. Be mindful of spice level if spice isn't your thing. Explosions of flavor in every dish and SAVE ROOM FOR DESSERT!”

“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!”

“Best espresso for 50 mi radius”

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