25 Best Coffee Shops near Los Olivos

“Lovely coffee shack named after legendary Lefty Frizzell, the first country singer to get a star on the Hollywood walk of fame. He was a big influence on names like Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson. Check out his song “Cigarette and Coffee Blues” while you drink your coffee here. ☕️“

“My son and I travel across the United States (Pembroke Transportation). We look for great value, fresh food & ingredients, good service and a atmosphere to relax for a few minutes and enjoy a great meal. Corner House Cafe has taken over our #1 spot. This chef will make you a meal that will tantalize your taste buds and have them asking for more even though your stuffed. Sous chef is a great asset to this Brother Sister team. Thank you for a wonderful breakfast and great memories. Hope to see you soon“

“Cute little spot right on Mission. One of the best iced lattes I've had, especially since it was decaf. I often order an extra shot to make sure I can taste it but no need on this one. My wife is a coffee snob and she liked it so much she ordered one for herself even though she had already ordered a nitro. Nice barista and very knowledgeable about his brews.“

“My absolute favorite from there is a Mexican chocolate iced coffee it’s the yummiest treat EVER! They make the best and always smile! The owner I believe, Jen, helped me through two of the hardest days of my life back in 2019&2020. She’s an angel. 2020 I came through to get my fav coffee& a pup cup and big milkbone for my 15 yr old pup that day 04/28/20 was the day I had to help her get her angel wings, I will forever be grateful to Jen and her staff. I miss the Coffee Cabin I live in mid East now and when I visit I’ll be going there first! Tysm Coffee Cabin & sorry for the long review!“

“Cafe Dolce is a wonderful place to enjoy. The owner Sammy is my favorite. His Cafe offers an amazing variety of fresh Baklava. The juice bar and protein shakes are over the top! If you want a real treat try the Mediterranean Panini. Everything here tastes crisp, clean, and fresh! You will love it!“

“There was a mixup on our gingerbread house order. Melissa not only promptly refunded my money but included a bucket of Christmas cookies for our trouble. Mistakes happen and I am so impressed with the professional manner Melissa handled it. Solvang Bakery is a class act“

“We came to Arrowsmith's on a trip to Solvang and had an excellent time. The owners Tim and Anna are extremely hospitable and care deeply about the provenance and quality of the food and wine that they serve, all which is fabulous. Thank you for hosting us, we loved it!“

“Everything is good even the coffee“

“Not at all surprise that Grains and Grounds is a place I’m going to rave about. This little bakery is located inside Chumash Casino and I get more excited about this pastry shop than the actual resort.Not only are the desserts aesthetically pleasing, they are simply wow. A different array of desserts are presented each month depending on season or special events. And don’t forget about their in house made Gelato Bar. Yummy!Personal favorites are the cake pops and specialty cakes. The cake pops are dangerously delicious and the art, the flavors, in their cakes are astounding.Need something a little bit more filling? Grains and Grounds also serves pre-packaged fresh salads and inviting sandwiches.Craving Starbucks? This shop also has you covered with some of your favorite Starbucks coffees and drinks.Masks required for service and social distancing is enforced.Enjoy and you know the drill, please be safe.“

“The best pastries I've had. We travel all over and have never found anywhere like this. The freshness and detail put into their products show up. I hadn't been here in 5 years and came back all was the same if not better. The atmosphere of this town is amazing and without Olsens it would never be the same. I've been coming here for 27 years and now I live in Cali again ill be back monthly.“

“To celebrate Veteran’s Day I ordered a dozen red, white and blue donuts, to honor my husband’s military service to our country. They were a hit! Delicious! Fresh! The customer service was spot on as I ordered them with very short notice. Locally owned. Highly recommend! ?“

“One of the best sandwiches I’ve had! ?

TL;DR: outstanding ingredients, loved their turkey sandwich, delicious focaccia. Outdoor seating. ~$15-19 per sandwich. Does take a bit of time to be made, so order ahead!

Lucky Hen Larder has a variety of hot and cold sandwiches, generally served on their house focaccia or ciabatta breads. They also serve up ready-to-eat and pre-packaged Charcuterie foods, such as cured meats and cheeses.

All the sandwich options looked excellent, but I ended up going with their famous Turkey sandwich on focaccia, that featured thin turkey slices, crispy pancetta, rosemary aioli, cranberry-fig compote, triple cream brie, and arugula.

Already from the ingredient list you can tell it was going to be good, but this sandwich was truly excellent. All of the ingredients meshed perfectly, from the saltiness of the bread and turkey, to the creaminess of the Brie, to the sweetness of the cranberry-fig compote.

Would definitely come back again, but keep in mind it takes about 20-25 minutes to get your sandwich, so you may benefit from ordering ahead. Outdoor seating only. I paid ~$15 for my sandwich - totally worth it!“

“First time to Solvang and we stopped twice here. It was that good. Great service and the staff was very nice. Highly recommend!“

“Esko's was awesome from start to sweet finish. We came back to Solvang just to come to this bakery because we did not have time the first time. We specifically came to buy the Stroopwafels and cinnamon rolls we saw in the window, but we ended up purchasing those plus additional items such as Turkish Coffee and Turkish Delight, a Savory Ground Beef Roll, a Danish Waffle, and coffee ice cream. The Turkish Coffee and Turkish Delight were hands down the best I have had in the United States. I particularly enjoyed the Turkish Delights because they were not super sweet like I have found in other places...they were the exact perfect amount of sweetness. The ice cream was great and so was the waffle. I also really enjoyed the savory beef roll which was great because I had asked the employee which beef pastry he recommended and he said that one was his favorite. He didn't steer me wrong! It was delicious! The employees and the owner were all very kind and made great recommendations. I haven't tried the cinnamon roll yet, but I'm sure it will be amazing too. I will definitely be back next time I come out this way. Thank you for such a wonderful experience, Esko!!“

“Shout out to barista Rae who honored my birthday reward one day late. I wasn’t able to get into Starbucks on my birth date... She wished me Happy Birthday! Thank you Rae!“

“We stopped in here three times during our stay in Solvang. The first was for lunch - we had the Caprese Panini and Arugula Salad. The second time was to pick up a salad for a picnic. On our last visit, we bought French chocolates made by French chocolatier Jean-Michele Carré. Everything was delicious, the staff was friendly, and the service was great.“

“Great little place to eat while you’re in Santa Ynez!! The chef is awesome and hand delivers the food. The servers are super attentive and kind. We came back for a second day and everyone remembered us and treated us like family. Awesome food and great vibes all around.“

“We enjoyed our visit to Danish Mill Bakery. Not only are the pastries and desserts delicious, the customer service is impeccable. We were on a driving trip through CA and my daughter accidentally left her Apple Watch at the bakery. We did not realize this until we were two hours south. I received a phone call from Emily at the bakery who was so kind and was willing to mail the watch to our home. We can't thank you enough!“
