Santa Ynez Cafe in Solvang

Great food

Great dinner. Casual, delicious, friendly service. Diverse menu. Love the middle eastern dishes.

So happy I found this place. It's a beautiful Saturday and I wanted a coffee. I got the most delicious Cafe Mocha and the friendliness service ever. Can't wait to come try there breakfast and lunch menu. Definitely coming back.

Hidden gem in Solvang. Great food, excellent value, lots of locals and few tourists.

Great breakfast joint we visited while out of town. Delicious coffee.

Food was amazing, freshly made, and I feel healthier for eating here! Staff was kind and the restaurant very clean. Totally recommend!

My grandson & I went for breakfast. We shared the breakfast burrito. It was yummo, yummy, delish! Coffee is also really tasty! Very friendly employees!!

Great food, good selection and great service. Everyone is very friendly!

Great service. Before there was a girl who was a real sourpuss. Now since it's been about a year, the staff was really nice. My husband really loved their breakfast skillet.

A Marine buddy of mine who lives in Solvang recommend the Santa Ynez Cafe to me and it was awesome! I ordered the gyro plate and it was incredible! From the second I walked in I was warmly greeted and was served within minutes. The cafe is immaculate and the staff are great. I sat outside on their raised wooden deck which was also clean and well kept. Definitely a 5 star experience! Thank you to Javier, Dima and the rest of the staff you were outstanding!

Always pleasant service with a smile. Food is varied with a great BLT and Greek salad. The breakfast skillet was enough to split with no problem. Nice selection of wines and beer on tap and great smoothies! The berry blast is our favorite. Casual vibe with a few tables outside under a big oak tree.

I love the "Saint" (lol) Ynez Cafe. It is one of my favorite burger joints in the SY valley. I always order the lamb burger. There is nothing like it in the valley (no, really. Nobody else makes lamb burgers in the area, 😁).

Nice atmosphere and incredibly gracious staff. Haven't eaten here but it does have a nice aroma after 5pm when they start serving dinner.The Espresso shots we got were weak with a serious tartness. The kind of tart that overpowers the pallet for hours, as well as any flavors or milk one might add.

Fantastic food and service! Great menu variety and amazingly quick! I had the seafood kabob with roasted vegetables.

Great food great staff

Santa Ynez Cafe has alot to offer. They have a good varied of coffee drinks. A Breakfast menu and a lunch menu and dinner.I had there two egg scramble with bacon and hashbrowns with coffee. It all tasted really good! A must try!

Delicious lentil soup.

Exceeded expectations

Great food! Loved this quiet place for quick dinner.

Needed quick sandwich so we could get on the road. Food was very tasty and fresh and quick.

Nice place, yet the food was mediocre & overpriced.

Best cafe in town they make the food the way you want it and my tea never ran out

Delicious. Small dining area but they have a nice patio. Fairly priced

this place is the best ever ... people overthere are very friendly.. helpful.. they just want you to be happy and enjoying your amazing meal.. thanks Jalal for having me and wish you successful in this amazing restaurant..🌹🌹👍👌❤️❤️

We're locals and whether it's breakfast, lunch, dinner (or in between), it's been fantastic. The food, the staff and the atmosphere. Especially love sitting out on the deck with some good food and a cool drink or two.

Yummy food, excellent service, I really appreciate that they have water and treats for our loved 🐕 🐾 recommended 💯

Like finding money by your feet- I was surprised by my luck. No wait, good food, good service, cute place, affordable pricing, etc, etc. Not a thing wrong with anything. Had the breakfast burrito, French toast plate, and banana berry burst smoothie. Breakfast burrito was stuffed with eggs, potatoes, cheese, and sausages to a comforting degree. You can choose different meats such as turkey or bacon if you like. You can also choose what cheese you want. French toast plate looked like decoration... it was made so pretty. Bread was super fluffy and eggs were perfect. I’m glad we chose to eat here for breakfast.

Casual atmosphere, good location and decent offerings but nothing exceptional. The parking lot traffic can be a nightmare.

This place made me the best sandwich I have ever had!!! It was a BBQ Bagel special - Pepper Jack Cheese, Turkey, Bacon, Cream Cheese, BBQ sauce, onions on a bagel (I got it on a Cheddar Jalapeno Bagel). The friend that I was with liked her sandwich as well but agreed that mine was to die for. I live in Santa Barbara but I am already plotting my next trip up to Santa Ynez just so that I can stop in again for a sandwich. I should have ordered a second one to take home. Yum!!

Very nice in side good selections freindly

I made my choice to stop here based on the hippie liberal one star reviews. Yep! Good hot coffee (Styrofoam cups) and good music (country). Great food selection too! Oh and comfortable sofas to relax on. My kind of coffee shop!

Great food and price. The meat was super juicy and tender. Loved it.

A great place within walking distance from where I grew up. They seem to struggle to find a true identity, but they have great food and are in a great location.

Tuna melt special yummy...great friendly staff...local coffee shop...just outside of solvang..great place to stop at on the way to Los olivos

Great fresh sandwich and curly fries. Super friendly service.

Nice, quiet small restaurant. Excellent service, ample food portions and reasonably priced. Good food

Came here fro breakfast one morning when I was camping over a Lake Cachuma. I was pleasantly surprised by this little local spot. I will surely make this a pit stop when I am back up in the area.
