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.

It's always nice to top- off the evening with some sort of sweet and drink. Never had anything below par.the cheesecake or just awesome. The single Serving pastries are good selection.

I got the Shortbread cookies and Chocolate Cookies and they are "To Die For". I also got the Chorizo burrito and Elephant ear, another "To Die For". I just love almost everything there.

Wide variety of desserts, sandwiches, wraps and salads. Bakery fresh items and Gelata! Very flavorful w generous portions and a dozen flavors! Grab a Starbucks or Juice on way out! Clean and open 24/7.

Got their breakfast sausage muffin. Well-rounded sandwich for sure. Proper girth on the protein and it had a nice peppery finish, reminiscent of peak jimmy dean. They don't skimp on the cheese, but in the spirit of compact "on the go" sandwiches, this can be a little problematic with how messy it is. Recommend as a stationary meal. English muffin was a nice texture. Solid 7.5 out of 10 from me on the sandwich. 10 out of 10 on the experience.

Chorizo burrito is great and so is the gelato and coffee. Pastries look really good as well

This is one of my favorite bakeries in the Santa Ynez Valley!!! I often find myself going out of my way to make a quick stop at Grains and Grounds inside the Chumash Casino when I' m wine tasting in the Santa Ynez valley! Food: Desserts offers are an evolving, extraordinary beautiful and colorful selection of luscious gourmet cupcakes, desserts, gourmet pies, cakes, dessert bars, cheesecakes, dessert brownies Service: Excellent, quick, efficient and very knowledgeable! Ownership: Chumash Casino with a few tables and chairs inside. Decor: Modern and clean coffee shop Drinks: Partnership with Starbucks and Juices and bottled water. Parking: Large free multi level garage parking attached to Chumash Casino. It is a bit of a trek to get to the casino after parking, but well worth it and the shop is one of the first spots when you enter! Tips: The Cherry Bomb was so delicious and aesthetically pleasing!!! Also, located inside a casino that's rather smoke filled!

Mediocre service followed by smaller portions. Wife use to love the ice cream served here. But now, portions are smaller and prices higher. servers still soliciting tips for crappy service. No more, we will go elsewhere.
Since everything is crap and upside down bc of c0vid I feel that this could easily be a four star location. But, I can't do it. At least not yet. Blame it on the c0vid. You can't sit anywhere! I ordered a gelato - which was excellent btw - but was reduced to finding an open slot machine (hard) nearby to eat it between the plexi glass sides. #awk Service was very unremarkable. To be expected. I'll for sure give it another shot next time I'm at Chumash. The cakes/muffins looked pretty good. PRO TIP: if you're looking for the Starb it's right "next" to this place. Basically it's a 2 for 1 here. Would recommend.

Not at all surprise that Grains and Grounds is a place I'm going to rave about! It's truly one of my favorite bakery stop in Santa Ynez. 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, along with the distinctive flavors in their cakes are just astounding. Need something a little bit more filling? Grains and Grounds also serves fresh, pre-packaged salads and inviting sandwiches. A healthier fare that will tie you down until your next meal. Craving Starbucks? This shop also has you covered with some of your favorite Starbucks coffees and drinks. Masks are required for service and social distancing is enforced. Enjoy and please be safe always.

Okay this is the first time I ever write a review about a place. My husband and I went to this place last night he had the Chumash burger and I had the nacho the food was amazing. My husband appreciate a good burger and tried burger at various cities/States and perhaps countries and last night he believes the Chumash burger was the best burger he ever had. The service was great and our waitress Helena was awesome and other co-workers was great as well. I definitely recommend Chumash Cafe if you ever in the area and we'll definitely be back.
