5 Best Breakfast Restaurants near Solvang

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

“This place is a gem, very beautiful property and great view of landscape from the patio. I went to dinner and had a wonderful experience. Im a difficult person to please and let me tell you everything was perfect. Restrooms were super clean and dining area. Staff was very attentive and paid attention to detail. Especially the female bartender and our waitress. I ordered a mint Julep that took me back to the Kentucky derby. The food for the kids was delicious and our food was amazing. Definitely recommend this place. I would like to make a recommendation add a steak to the menu for dinner service.“

“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!“

“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.“
