“Food: We had the breakfast burrito and yogurt parfait. The burrito was great - lots of eggs, potatoes, veggies and delicious melted cheese paired with fresh salsa . Yogurt parfait was tasty and a great yogurt/granola/fruit ratio. We had orange juice which was quite refreshing! Wish I took a pic of the food but we ate it way too fast... that's a good thing right?!? I think that should tell you more than a pic would anyways Service: we had great service! Everyone was friendly and helpful... even on New Year's Day morning! Ambiance: quaint, calm and plenty of seating. We sat outside with our pup and it was a very pleasant breakfast. Misc.: Had the pleasure of meeting the owner today and he was incredibly charming, kind and engaging. He greeted us when he pulled up and wished us well when we left. He also took the time to chat a bit about where we were visiting from and his life in Ojai. Lovely man and overall a very lovely cafe and a great start to the new year!“
“My favorite coffee or tea place when in Solvang. I always visit the Boutique and plan to sit down and relax.The service is amazing, soothing and professionally friendly.Their coffee and tea menu are worth trying every single one, to then come back to your favorite.They have Herbal tea options for the days I avoid caffeine. I truly love it.I hope your experience is as amazing and/or better than mine.One last note, there isn’t a lot of food items for my lactose restrictions but they few they have are good but not good enough for me to buy it again since I needed a lot of coffee and water to try to balance the strong flavor.I’ll update once I revisit the Boutique and take a picture of the item with the name.Dietary restrictions: Lactose allergy alternatives.“
“Excellent food, and a fantastic staff! The restaurant has very positive energy. A special thanks to servers Shannon and Arturo for being especially helpful and knowledgeable in their recommendations. I'm about to enjoy some of my dinner leftovers for lunch.“
“We stopped here on the drive home from Solvang a year ago and I’m still thinking about how great the coffee was! Very smooth, not bitter. Definitely stop by if you can! I got the honeycomb oat latte and it was perfection - not overly sweet but just sweet enough.“
“Cute bakery and the name says it all! So many Danish baked goods sold here among the more familiar fair. They also had spectacular cookie houses. I'd call them gingerbread houses but not sure if they're all made out of gingerbread. It's a tiny bakery and a tight squeeze making your way through but manageable and worth it. They also have gifts and trinkets. Staff is sweet and helpful. Would definitely recommend.“
“This place is magical - if you like fresh spices and specialty teas. It is really extraordinary. The scent in the store alone is worth wandering in. I have been twice - the first purchase were so good (and sizeable) I decided that I would start trading in most of my spices out for these over time. I don't think you can go wrong with these. Just a phenomenal find.“

“We had a wonderful relaxing 2 for 1 winetasting experience. The wines were good, the cheese plate was EXCELLENT, the spinach and cheese croissant was EXCELLENT, and Anna was very nice with good service. We came to Arrowsmith at the recommendation of the front desk of our hotel. It was only a five minute walk so we headed over around 4 PM on a Saturday of a three-day weekend. The decor is very nice, sort of roaring 20s French art. Nice tables, nice seating areas with leather chairs, nice bar. We had a 2 for 1 wine tasting special, a croissant and the cheeseboard. Our bill was around $66 and change and would've been in the $90s without the special. It was a good bargain and we still would've been happy at full price. We didn't wind up buying any of the wines to go, but we would definitely come here again and maybe stay later for the live music. 4.5 stars rounded up to 5 :-)“
“BEST KEPT SECRET in the Santa Ynez Valley! Literally the VERY BEST baked goods I've ever had in my life! Great prices. Unique, sweet location and just downright AMAZING! People say "awesome" too often where it isn't necessarily true. At Holy Grounds, you're going to find the most "AWESOME" fresh baked pastries you've EVER had, and that's a fact!!! Unbelievable GEM!!!!“
“Have a little ice cream romance here. Fine ice cream since the late 1940s. Old tradition. Always very welcoming. Gift stores nearby. Must have this ice cream when visiting Solvang, CA. Excellent customer service. Popular and tourist stop. Everyone loves them. Yes, credit cards accepted. Around $6 for a single scoop cone these days. Pay more for more scoops. No public restrooms onsite at this shop. Order onsite while waiting in line. Beautiful cute spot with good views for taking photos of your ice cream. Come on a sunny day or the photos you take on cloudy gray sky days may turn out less ideal. My hands and mouth were focused more on eating ice cream, so I almost forgot to take photos of it. Ice cream represents freedom and happiness at any age and time. It's always the moment of enjoyment that counts. Delicious and as good and enjoyable as it looks. The place has been here forever. It's a landmark of Solvang. I always come back for traditional chocolate chip, strawberry, or chocolate ice cream flavors. Wide selections to choose from. Pick what you like. Families and friends will love. They never disappoint. It's all part of the experience. Get 10% off if you have trolley ticket for discount. If you're itching for ice cream in town, definitely stop by while you're here. Worth every lick and bite.“
“Amber has a great establishment, with everything one would want from a coffee house; tasty and fresh things to eat and drink, cozy feels, and welcoming. Thanks for making our weekly visits one I love telling others about. You do a great job!“
“When in Solvang, CA, consider starting your day with breakfast at The Baker's Table. Don't let the line to order scare you as it moves at a decent pace. Order at the counter, receive a number, and your order is brought to your table (seating is available inside and outdoors). Service was pleasant. What we tried: -Breakfast burrito, which was stuffed with scrambled eggs, sausage, onions, and cheddar cheese. Comes with a side of fruit and some salsa, too. -Croissant sandwich - freshly baked, flaky croissant filled with scrambled eggs and cheddar cheese. Comes with a side of applewood smoked bacon, too! -Iced mocha latte did the trick and gave me the morning pick-me-up I needed.“
“Cute danish bakery with tons of pastry options. The workers were very friendly! I ordered a cinnamon crisp and didn’t love how dry it was. I’m sure their other pastries were better. Worth stopping in and enjoying a pastry at their outdoor seating!“
“Oh how we wish you would make your fritters more crispy. You know, the kind that are made up of all these delectable crunchy nuggets! Otherwise, they are just...dough-ey....I mean, doesn't fritter mean FRIED in some lovely language?Fosters in Lompoc, off H St. by Comcast are done right. But everything else is better in B town. Please, please reconsider your fritter! Thank you!“
“1st timer. Business trip. Was looking for a spot that had great food and DECAF espresso & quick!Se habla español.Did not disappoint! What a sweet spot on an ole Western street drinking coffee with the local ranchers, businessman, moms, and cowboys.Soak up the ambiance, smell the homemade freshly baked chocolate croissants, and take in the artwork.“
“I had the pulled pork and my husband had the pastrami. The sandwiches were pretty good but pricey. We had sides of potato salad and spicy slaw and they were both delicious. There is only outdoor seating so bring a jacket if it's cold out. We'd go back and give it another chance but it wasn't a stand out. 3.5 stars.“
“Small bakery inside the casino but close to the self-park entrance/exit doors. The cakes are delicious and our favorites are the flourless chocolate cake, cheese cake and carrot cake. They have small size cakes that are not overly sweet and perfect size for a treat. Cake designs are intricate and classy too. Open 24/7. Haven't found any cakes better than theirs! Availability of cake flavors can be limited at times and you may find they run out of small cake selections towards the night not unlike pre-covid when they had more out on display. Cake designs can vary too so that may throw you off when looking for your favorite flavor. Just a heads-up, there is no seating at this place and you will have to enjoy your treats somewhere else. Casino is also a smoking location and can be difficult to handle when all you want to do is get yourself a nice sweet treat.“
“Olsen's Danish Village Bakery is always crowded and busy. It's more traditional over there. Olsen's displays and choices are excellent. The popular Solvang Bakery down a few doors is always where tourists take lots of photos of the interior. It's their Easter egg colors which attracts many moms and children. Birkholm's Solvang Danish Bakery has lesser foot traffic and it's not all fancy , but it certainly has everything you want like the rest of them. It has more spaces to walk around inside. You can actually sit inside to enjoy your goodies. I always buy Danish butter cookies to take home prior to departing. All of them are very good bakeries worth checking out and buying delicious goodies from. For around $20 a bin or buy 3 for much under $60, it's really not too bad at Birkholm's. They all have similar offerings and delicious selections, more or less. Macarons, marzipans, candies, puffy tarts, danishes filled with fruit jams, cookies, etc. Order a beverage or two. It really depends on the type of customer you are and if you're buying items to go or just enjoying them inside the bakeries. I absolutely love butter cookies from Solvang. They are made fresh and each bakery is unique in their own ingredients and baking methods. Creative pastry stops. You can always share with families and friends. Definitely grab some goodies before hitting the roads again.“
“First time coming here. Got their Princess cake and it was tasty and flavorful. It was white cake with raspberry filling and cream and wrapped in marzipan frosting. Very airy and light tasting although heavy on the marzipan flavor. Cost was $6.95. Small indoor seating available.“
“Really a cute place... Small, friendly, and clean. We both had eggs and sausage with hash. It was all delicious. Cooked perfectly to our request. Hash had chunks of meat, yummy! Reminds us of our fav diner food. Great for locals and visitors.“
“Super cute place. A small detour from the highway, but los olivos is a great place to visit!They have books, boardgames, and really good coffee! What else can you ask for?I had an oat latte, really good, fairly priced. Not bitter or burned tasting. I'm impressed ? ?“
