28 Best Coffee Shops near Santa Ynez

“Drinks were awesome. I love the coffee ice cubes in my wht mocha. Definately worth trying them out.“

“Everything is good even the coffee“

“Overall this was a pretty fun experience for us. At least as far as a trip to Starbucks goes. Yes, we ventured a trip to the casino looking for the Grains & Grounds coffeehouse bakery which soon turned into a slightly confused, dark & flashy, casino lit, cigar smoke infused, hunt and discovery of Chumash's back-of-the-house, hole-in-the-wall, Starbucks gem! I'll admit I was disappointed at realizing our Google maps wild goose chase ended in finding a 'boutique bakery/coffee conglomerate consolidation. But as early morning, albeit last minute, adventures go we still got a lot of enjoyment in playing around with a delightfully glittered, Almond Honey Cake fluff and a dark chocolate & gold gilded Cake Pop! Wow!!
But while I can't say either confection knocked my socks off in the taste category, I will give full marks for imagination and whimsical presentation. So I'll conclude by admitting that I'm deeply curious to sample whatever else they've got for next time.“

“It was pretty packed during the weekend, but our server Justine was so sweet! Even though it was busy, she was efficient and took care of us in a timely manner. That was a huge plus to the already delicious meal 🤗 We will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“I absolutely love their Valley breakfast sandwich, and the cardamom brown sugar latte🤤“

“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. 🧐🤌“

“Best coffee in Solvang! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩“

“the ladies are so friendly, and all pastries and baked goods are really yummy you can tell they put love in it!“

“What a hidden gem. We found this coffee shop while camping at Lake Cachuma this weekend and it was far and above what I expected from a small town. We ordered cortados using two different beans, and both were fantastic. The vibes of the shop are also amazing - it's perfect for a cozy solo trip or a big group on the back patio. There is a small, free bike repair station right outside as well, making it a good spot for cyclists. There are tons of books to read, or we chose to stop by the community puzzle table and spent some time adding pieces. :)
Highly recommend, quality espresso and great vibes.“

“Best espresso for 50 mi radius“

“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!“

“Joy Cafe is the utmost gem of hidden gems! The atmosphere is magical, with lovely music, darling paintings, unique trinkets, and gorgeous handmade pottery! Best of all, our drinks were incredible and beautifully made, the Resilience Latte and the Strawberry Cloud Matcha, very obviously made with love and care. Georgina, the owner, has a lovely vibe and is extremely forthcoming, I didn’t want to leave! I say everyone visiting Solvang or passing through should be stopping at Joy Cafe!!❤️☺️“

“Great experience in the Spice Merchant today. So happy they do mail order!“

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

“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“

“The absolute best!“

“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.“

“Fun place, nice variety of ice creams and friendly staff.“

“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!“

“The most delicious donuts I/we have ever tasted!! 🍩☕️💕“

“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 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!“

“Absolutely loved our experience at Esko’s Cafe in Solvang! The food was fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. The Danish pancakes and pastries were amazing, and the coffee was perfect. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. Cozy atmosphere, great service, and generous portions. Definitely one of the highlights of our visit to Solvang. Highly recommend and would happily come back again!“
