Visiting from out of town and wish we had this place on the East Coast! The beans are by far the best I’ve ever had—rich, smooth, and unforgettable. Great vibe and friendly staff. A must-visit!

Charming beyond compare. Coffee spots have a reputation for being generically trendy and blasé, not here. Here you can FEEL the California Heritage- The culmination of valley, vineyard, central, Buellton, surfing, and agriculture - I'm honestly floored by how at home it felt. Being from SanBuenaventura to the south, but raised in part by Danish grandparents, this location has touched my heart. The Coffee: It's Good. The green beans come through carrying their roast as a smooth layer for a bright and creamy finish. Had the Americano & The Dirt Road Chai (chai with espresso), & Coconut Milk (seems they use a higher end coconut milk that has cold pressed (raw) coconut water. Delicious. Perhaps a menu worthy rendition (the Ventura ) The Service: The employees were truly joyous the whole time we were there, interacting with customers in the most positive and uplifting way I've seen, well ever. (Perhaps future branch managers?) The Food: We had the Empanadas (spinach & feta, and Egg w/Sausage)- delicious & light with excellent flavor, not too big but world class. Thank you for the experience. (and the coffee) ~N

My family and I spent almost an entire day here recently because we were traveling up the coast and our camper van broke down, It was getting repaired next door and we found this coffee shop to have excellent coffee and iced tea. It is also kid friendly. The staff is super nice and they have fast Wi-Fi. They also have an awesome outdoor seating area where we were very comfortable. The outdoor area is also dog friendly and they even had a water bowl for our pups. We will definitely stop by again when in the area

Love this new little coffee shop! Best quality espresso drinks in the area. The Llama Latte is my favorite to enjoy in a big mug while I catch up on emails or snack on the delicious Solvang Bakery pastries (the ham & cheese croissant is the best!). Make sure you swing by and say hello to the friendly team!
