“Have been visiting Bob's since they opened. It is consistently busy with travelers as well as a local trade. Best for me to come early esp on weekends. Other days & times a line may be expected, so I try to be prepared by studying the menu flyers before hitting the counter. When my turn comes, I order breads/pastries first, then meals or drinks prefaced by 'For Here' or 'To Go' as a signal. (awesome) cookies are displayed to the right of the pay station, so scope them out before ordering. Staff works well together and is efficient, packs to-go orders with care and busses tables quickly and pleasantly. Having worked retail and in a bakery/gift shop, I tip even for takeout. Service and kitchen staff def earn it- I'm happy to, as a thank you.
Remember there is another equally charming location, located in Ballard townsite along Alamo Pintado, the main road between Solvang and Los Olivos, and is reached easily from 101 from north or south via Highway 154. ( Los Olivos is another village with many local wine tasting rooms and galleries for perusing after a meal)“
