This cozy cafe is the perfect place for a quick snack and caffeine fix. I love how much seating is available and that they are open until later in the day. I saw they have a plethora of coffee syrups and baked goods. It was hard to choose what to get but I liked my coffee. read more

I loved the vibes and decoration! Such a thoughtful place. My latte was good and very creamy but not as strong I like even with 3 shots I ordered the frittata but it's not freshly made, they just heat on the microwave. It tasted good and it was fluffy Staff was very friendly read more

Came to Pony Espresso while visiting Mariposa. I love that they're open early which is why I stopped here. It's a cute spot with a homey feeling inside, and plenty of seating. The barista was really friendly even with how early it was. I ordered an iced vanilla latte and it was good! Definitely a good spot to try if you're in Mariposa. read more

My friends and I stopped by here during a break during work on a Friday. We were just at the intersection of Highway 49 and 140 down the road, so it was an easy walk. The space looks so cozy and the lady at the counter was so nice. I got an iced tea and shared a chocolate chip cookie with my friends. The tea was good, not too special. The cookie was so special & huge!!! I did hear that they got purchased by the Coffee Shop across the intersection, but I'm not sure how that will go. read more

I'm from Santa Barbara and was desperate for WiFi after the satellite at our cabin stopped working. I found Pony Expresso (great name), called to make sure I could use their WiFi and they were incredibly friendly. Went in and such a great space and amazing people. My latte was absolutely delicious and since I'm on a restricted diet I couldn't eat the amazing desserts but they had hard boiled eggs, which saved me. My only note would be that I should have asked about all the ingredients in the berry smoothie and so it was too sweet for me since I'm not eating sugar (but it was delicious). Wonderful people, wonderful space, wonderful beverages! read more

Ordered an iced americano and it ended up being one of the best I've ever had!!! Friends got hazelnut latte and loved it! Also, get there early to get the fresh baked muffins. read more

A MUST stop if you are in Mariposa. Get the Banana bread and thank me later. It is the best banana bread and probably the best dessert I I have ever eaten. I wish I could have told Deb, the owner and baker. There are plenty of places to park and it is a quaint spot. Most places in the area are dog friendly and Pony Espresso has a patio area with a dog "hitching area." I will be going back my third time before I drive home to try the breakfast items including a frittata and breakfast burrito or sandwich. The coffee is good, with alternative milk options and endless flavors. I ordered half sweet and Kezzia was so sweet to make sure I enjoyed my drink. I unfortunately do not have a picture of the Banana bread because I ate it too quickly read more

Visiting friends in Mariposa and this stop is a very expanded location for our coffee pilgrimage! And a welcome one at that! A cute, very clean, shop with lovely service. I ordered my typical almond milk latte. Then my husband asked if they had a signature latte and they mentioned brown sugar and cinnamon. Well, I had to change my order since that is my new fav flav from another shop on our pilgrimage. Hubby's drink came first, and after tasting it he asked me to taste--which he NEVER does. Said something didn't taste right. I tasted and said, yes, there is no sweetner/syrup. When my drink was ready I told the barista we didn't taste the flavors for brown sugar/cinnamon and she quickly flashed a smile, grabbed both drinks, and said "That's because I forgot that step!" lol! She added the syrups and we were on our way. Overall the drinks were good, but they have stiff competition from us because just the day before we visited afore mentioned shop in Martinez that used real brown sugar and cinnamon vs. syrups, hence the four stars-- which is still a great rating! We will be back on our next visits--gotta try the Boogie Beans! read more

Pre made food was a disappointment other wise it was ok. Nice ambiance and employees.

Great local coffee place. Restrooms. Free wifi. Love the blended drinks. And right next to the High Country Health Food Store!

New in town, trying different places. Loved this little coffee shop. Great atmosphere and friendly baristas. Coffee was great and so were the pastries. Tried the apple croissant, banana muffin and teases peanut butter cookie (shared these with our group of 5), everyone really enjoyed the goodies, coffee and service! We will definitely be back! read more

Service: 3/5 Store Ambience: 5/5 Store cleanliness: 5/5 Location: 4/5 Coffee:2/5 Overall: 3/5 We were looking for a quick coffee stop on our way back from Yosemite. We found this cute place right off of the highway and decided to try it out. Of course good Yelp reviews contributed to our decision as well. The store is very clean. The staff who took our order didn't speak a word other than telling us how much our order cost. They have some pastries in stock as well as merchs and they even sell their own roasted coffee. So my expectations were slightly high when I walked it. Especially given the fact that I know and understand coffee. In terms of coffee, it was very bitter (close to dark roast where usually good quality arabica coffee is not roasted to that level) and the worst part was the milk which was overheated (the temp was way over 160F). And lastly the foam to milk ratio in my cappuccino was off. So if this place was in a populated area or let say in San Francisco it would have been very disappointing. But given the location and everything else I give it a 3/5. read more

Love the local feel of this coffee shop. The coffee and baked goods are very good, especially love the cookies.

the marshmallow hot chocolate was AMAZING!! i will be visiting here every time i'm in Mariposa !

Coffee was good; breakfast burrito, toooooo much cheese!! The ladies barista-ing were very nice and efficient, they had a long line behind us and were still able to get drinks out in a timely manner. Cute little shop on the edge of town, nothing to write home about, but it fits the need! Cute local spot for sure. read more

Best coffee in Mariposa, the Barista's are friendly and know what they are doing. The Pony Blast is very refreshing and a nice treat.

Stopped here on our way out of Mariposa after a weekend at Yosemite. Didn't get there before they ran out of breakfast burritos, sadly, so got a frittata instead that were good -- and a fantastic hazelnut latte. Loved the friendly service! read more

Staying in Mariposa for the week and needed our usual afternoon coffee fix. This spot did the trick and we'll definitely be heading back each day of our stay. Strong mocha, homemade whipped cream, amazing prices compared to Berkeley where we're from and awesome signs that make me smile during these crazy times. read more

My favorite coffee shop in town, of them. That is all you need to know. Thank you for starting our mornings off right!

Great coffee, friendly and knowledgeable service, and a variety of products! The place is small and kind of hidden away. Sure glad our gps knew how to find them. Hubs claimed their coffee is "How coffee should taste." Our little guy had an upset tumm, and the lady at the counter suggested a peach smoothie cuz she had a similar tummy earlier, and that's what helped her. So we got him one, and there have been no complaints! read more

First of all, the owner and her comrades were amazing. The ambiance was cozy and happy which are huge selling points to me. I had cinnamon, brown sugar lattes and my husband had cappuccino on both days. Everything was amazing! Seriously, good coffee. I heard Starbucks is coming into town, but there's no way you're going to get this atmosphere and quality from a corporate giant. Do yourself a favor, and visit. Oh, and get a chocolate chip cookie. Delicious! read more

Another hidden gem in Mariposa! We didn't even know this place existed until we were at the gas station nearby and saw it. My husband and I each got a latte and they were fantastic. We greatly appreciated being able to get something other than black coffee while in town, so this was a wonderful treat. The staff were all so friendly and made the experience perfect. read more

Excellent coffee. Service was a little slow due to low staff when we got there, but the coffee was well worth the wait.

After two years of going to pony. One bad employee ruined the experience. Had a very bad attitude upon walking in. She didn't even want to help us, suggested to go to the restaurant next door instead. Still kept running her mouth as we were walking out. No professionalism. read more

I might have come on an off day, but I had just an okay experience here. Walking in and stepping up to the counter, I was the only one in line and was quickly asked what I'd like. However, it seemed the person taking my order wasn't really focused on me as the customer but rather something else they were doing at the counter. Didn't mind that though since I know people are busy. It only took a few minutes to make my drink which was great because I was about to get back on the road. After coming back to the cash register to ring me up, however, I still didn't feel like the person really cared about having my service. Didn't smile, make eye contact, say thank you or have a nice day. Basically just a transaction. Another thing that bothered me was that they weren't wearing their mask properly - just over the mouth, but not the nose. I got a regular latte here. It was fine. The espresso tasted a little bit burnt but I've had worse. I'll probably try some other places in Mariposa to compare. read more
