Longhorn Coffee Shop & Bakery

The kinda old school breakfast joint with excellent food that other old school breakfast joints wish they were. The corn beef hash, chicken fried steak and hash browns are some of the best I’ve ever tasted.

Shania Twain’s music video to “Whose Bed Have Your Boots Been Under” was shot here!! 💃🏻🎶

I stopped at this coffee shop while waiting for another business to open, and I am glad I did! I ordered a basic breakfast: scrambled eggs, bacon, and home fries with onions and peppers. I would have never thought a “basic” breakfast could taste so amazing!!

The home fries were perfectly cubed with the peppers and onions grilled perfectly, with all tasting so dang good! I know. I know. How could a coffee shop mess up these basics. Sadly, too many plays do.

I hate, and let re-iterate HATE, to see any brown on my eggs. It’s weird, I know, but that’s just me. These eggs looked as if my wife prepared them as they were so dang pretty and tasty! No brown in sight - not even on the bottom. (And I didn’t mention my preference for “no brown on my eggs”.

Now, on to the coffee. It was good. In my opinion, the coffee tasted just like I would expect coffee shop coffee to taste, but it was so much better.

And the service? I’m a black man who stopped at a coffee shop in Santa Ynez, CA. Let’s just say I don’t see many folks who look like me out here. The storefront looks like it belongs on the set of bonanza. Really! No kidding! Into my surprise, I didn’t get out one inquisitive look, no Expressions of “what is he doing here?”, nor anything that made me feel uncomfortable. My server, who happens to the Owner, Debbie, was an absolute sweetheart!

From now on when I drive through this area, I will stop and make sure I get either breakfast or lunch at the Longhorn Coffee Shop!

FYI… I wrote this review while eating breakfast so that test image is not when the food first came out but while I’m eating. Ha ha.

My wife and I came out to Santa Ynez to an assessment and to do some marketing. We found this place they had one of the best chicken fried steaks I have had in a long time. And I have gone to a lot of restaurants. My wife is the owner and Operator of TERESA'S HOUSEKEEPING. So we go to a lot of restaurants. To Santa Barbara and all of the way to San Luis Obispo. The food is great

Small old fashioned diner joint. Love this place. Food quality was great and portions were price appropriate. Highly recommend the chicken fried steak with eggs.

Best cowboy breakfast! Great people, good vibe, and full of friendly locals! Great people!

Insanely delicious classic breakfast. Unfortunately, modern pricing has caught up to this rustic eating spot. It's worth the drive and the price.

Rudest server I’ve experienced, long time valley local, given this waitress multiple chances on many occasions. I wouldn’t mind the food being marginal if the waitress wasn’t so dang rude, but it’s just that, cursing under her breath constantly and straight up
