3* Santa Ynez Café Solvang outskirts; corner of Mission and Alamo Pintado Locals favorite for breakfast and Greek food The food was good They are understaffed; only two people working Good place to avoid the Solvang tourist crowd at mealtimes

Best breakfast in town! Great pancakes and crispy bacon. Staff was great as well.

If I can give 0 stars I would. Legit took 20 min for two iced coffees and a smoothie. The two girls were looking at the menu trying to figure out how to make iced vanilla coffee. I kid you not!! A group of three people came and ordered behind me. Food and drinks. The chef knocked out the food before the two girls could figure out my coffee order. The group was missing their sodas and the two girls were trying to figure out how to put lids on the soda cups. While trying to figure out how to start a blender for a smoothie. It was extremely hard to not just step in and help them because they were obviously clueless. We will never be coming back to this place. It's a shame because the food actually smelled yummy! But the service was beyond horrible to watch, and I'm a patient person.

Wonderful, warm friendly service. This family owned restaurant has great food at great prices. The owner offers you authentic sweet treats with your meal. We came back twice in one day because of the great experience.

DO NOT EAT BREAKFAST HERE! Worst experience ever. We came in this morning and no one was eating there except for one person outside. There was 6 of us in our party so we sat inside and thought we would have a quick breakfast before heading back home from a weekend visit to Solvang. Slow, slow, slow! The food took forever to come out. And we had to ask our server to bring everything from silverware to water. Food came out and some food was under cooked (hash browns were cold in the middle, toast was cold and the butter pats were rock hard, & the bacon & eggs were lousy). The server had no sense of urgency and seemed like she didn't really want to be working there. Just overall horrible, I would say skip this place unless you are desperate or just want a cup of coffee to go.

a very small portion, ordered an omelet with beef, left the establishment and went to look again for where to eat, they had not yet offered more than one sauce, although there was on other tables, I do not advise

Apathetic service. Average food. Very nice interior, but not worth the poor service.

Really good food! Good service too except they were either short handed this morning or just understaffed. There was one guy who was fielding everything: the phone, customers orders and questions, delivering the food to customers sitting outside and inside. Guy needed some back-up! My guest loved her v. HOT coffee (she needed ice), and the orange juice was flavorful. We split our meal and it was a perfect amount of food, too. Served hot and the over-medium eggs we ordered were cooked to perfection. So good. Just a note: the parking was really tricky as the slots were very thin. This restaurant shares the lot with a Rite-Aid and several other businesses too. Just keep an eye on your car. Very good breakfast. Would recommend and can't wait to go back again! Thanks!

I was waiting for my dad to finish his appointment and happened along this place by taking a walk. I glanced at the menus on the table and was intrigued by some of the offerings so I took pictures for a future visit. At first I just ordered a bagel with cream cheese. Pretty standard bagel and Philadelphia cream cheese. It was good and hit the spot for being famished. After my dads appointment and before his next one he was saying how hungry he was. I suggested he look at the menu I took pictures of to see if anything interested him. He settled on the breakfast skillet for $9.00. When I went back in the second time to order, I asked to purchase another cream cheese as the one wasn't enough for me. Lilliana offered just to give it to me which was very nice. The order came out perfect with cheese on the side as requested . The skillet was tasty according to my very picky food critic dad. I tasted it and it was very good. The potato's were especially tasty with great flavor. The gave a pretty hearty portion for the price. We will definitely be back when we come to town for future appointments. It will also be a morning , afternoon and evening date destination as they are open all day and have a variety of menus with a pretty good list of wines, coffees and smoothies. Friendly staff, great food , great service and realistic prices for the portions. We couldn't dine in because of covid so I'll reserve the 5 th star for a future visit when they are fully opened and I can have the full experience.
