    I stopped by after going to agua dulce winery. I wanted a coffee and looked on Yelp and the rustic mercantile came up. I am glad I decided to try it out. I ordered an iced vanilla latte and a chicken sandwich. The food was good and the service was quick. There wasn't too many people there when I got there but slowly people started trickling in. While I waited for my sandwich I browsed the store and they had a good variety of items. I didn't purchase anything but I liked the boots they had and they had a lot of cute baby items as well.

    My folks are regulars here as they're addicted to the soft served ice cream, so when my husband and I were visiting last weekend they had to take us here for an afternoon treat. This a super cute spot that's a coffee shop, ice cream shop, cafe, and retail shop all rolled into one space. There was a variety of seating options inside as well as comfortable benches and adirondack chairs outside. Whether you're shopping, grabbing a coffee/matcha, or bite to eat, you can be helped at the main counter inside to the right. Service was fairly friendly. The soft served ice cream was indeed good and came in a variety of sizes with option for cup, cake cone, or waffle cone. I opted for the twist in a waffle cone and really enjoyed it. I wish we had time to come back the next morning for coffee & matcha as both looked delicious; perhaps next time! I did end up purchasing a few items from the retail side as well because they had all sorts of cute apparel & home décor items as well as treats & items for your cat or dog. Super cute place! Would absolutely recommend to anyone who lives in Acton / Agua Dulce or anyone who finds themselves at Vasquez Rocks State Park!

    Their food is good. Down the road somewhere we ran across this Mercantile. Greeted with friendly faces and cheerful welcomes, me and my girl set to have a quick bite

    A cute little country cafe in a remote area of the SCV. I wouldn't particularly venture out this way for the coffee, but for the experience. The barista was pretty and sweet, but my latte was mediocre. She happily remade a drink for me and brought it over to where I was sitting, which was so nice. They have little knickknacks for sale, but definitely pricey. Anyway, it was a warm and welcoming place to spend a gloomy morning with family after all the holiday madness.

    Great little just 20 minutes outside the East side on Santa Clarita. We stopped in to check out the shop and get some coffee and eats. This is a family owned business. The owner greeted us and told us a bit about the store and cafe. He gave all the credit to his wife though. Smart man! There are a few tables and chairs inside and outside to enjoy your food. Many people were there working in their laptops. We ordered the avocado toast and a salad. We also both had an oat milk latte. The coffees were delightful. The avocado toast was one of the best we've ever had. And the apple and walnut salad was fresh and delicious. Most of the merchandise is western in theme. However there is a nice variety. We found this place towards the end of our day of exploring so we will be back to spend more time in the near future. Oh, I will definitely try the frozen custard next time. Many customers came in just to get it!

    Nice experience. Nothing to rave much about. Their cold brew was solid. My partner got her brown sugar Latte that she liked. It's a very small coffee shop in the mercantile shop. Service was helpful and quick with their drinks. would I come back here? I don't see why not.

    Me and my son are looking for some ice cream after riding their bikes in Santa Clarita decided to try this place out. Very friendly girls working in the counter. The ice cream was delicious and they have a lot of souvenirs to look through while you're waiting. Definitely recommend.

    My sister and I stopped by on a Saturday morning after we had hiked at Vasquez Ricks. It's about half mile from Vasquez Rocks. It's very easy to get to, plenty of parking and dog friendly. We walked in and they had a pastries, drinks and breakfast. I ordered a bacon egg and cheese croissant. We also ordered the avocado toast and a pretzel bread breakfast sandwich. My sister had matcha and I had strawberry lemonade. The sandwich was the best croissant sandwich I've ever had. It was a little pricey, but it was delicious and I will absolutely be back!

    I really like this place! The Rustic Mercantile is a great place for your morning cup or breakfast. They have a good selection of things to eat on the menu and lots of choices for the coffee connoisseur . I had a latte and it was very good. Charlie was great to talk to and she made the whole experience great for our group. The store is decked out with a cowboy country feel with lots of swag and merch to keep you busy, while you wait for your order. They also have seating both inside and outside, with a beautiful outdoor patio area. The store and bathrooms are clean and parking is easy out front. I will be back to try some of the pastries or their ice cream.

    Luscious bakery to go with your cappuccino or iced mocha. Cranberry scone is my favorite

    It's time to saddle up and ride on over to Agua Dulce, a throwback to the good old days. Been hearing about this beautiful Mercantile for four months now and finally dropped by. This little place is a sweet destination on a lazy weekend. Family and dog friendly, with something for everyone. The baristas are serving up a fabulous cappuccino and a full coffee lover's menu. It might be in the beans, sweet service or just good vibes, but this was one of the most satisfying cappuccini I've had in awhile, rich robust and smooth. Lots of folks rave about the soft serve ice cream, a real plus in hubby's book! I believe I could find a unique and classy gift here for almost anyone or at the very least something for me! Good vibes! When it comes down to feeling welcome, and the happiness among patrons, the experience couldn't be better. People with coffee, scones, muffins and ice cream enjoy the pleasantly shaded seating out front as well as an amply covered patio out back. Good times and sweet treats happening here!

    Easter Bunnies!!!!! And always lovely lavender vanilla latte. Didn't even have to ask she made the bunnies so sweet and smile worthy.

    I'm a repeat customer who so far hadn't been disappointed- Always so helpful- happy-employees working here. They know their products and will special make to cover any special needs. I wish they opened at 6am I'd hit them on my way to work in LA. The coffee is lovely. It's not made from a machine. It's made by a human like coffee shops used to be. The boutique items are cute and very tempting as the prices are not more than in LA. They haven't raised their prices being in a rural area. They also have drinks not just coffee and it's an array of different healthy carbonated drinks to ginger shots. Worth a stop or detour - one girl has the same name as me :)

    Ordered an Italian sub sandwich

    Place is awesome if you want clean food and a nice little place to grab a sandwich. A little pricey for me but the food is very good quality. You can mix the breads on the sandwiches or the salads are very high quality. There's also a bunch of gifts around the shop, really unique stuff. Great place to take a girl if you're trying to impress her. Ps the owners are also very sweet.

    What is the base milk they use? Whole milk or 2%?

    They use both. I like to ask for 2% in my latte, but the default is whole milk, if you don't ask for a specific milk. They also have almond milk on request.

    It's been four months since our first visit to The Cowboy Tavern and we've been here at least a few…read moremore times since. I love that you can order breakfast all day. Keep in mind they close at 3. We have had many different breakfast plates, tuna melt, Ortega chill burgers, and the Chinese chicken salad. Let's start with breakfast. Huge portions, the best ham steak ever, thick and tender. The bacon is always crispy. Both the country potatoes and the hash browns are so flavorful. Oh and the biscuits and gravy are so yummy. Every burger, sandwich, and salad we've had have been delicious. The hardest part is fighting the desire to try something new because everything we have had we want again. Let's talk French fries. The French fries arrive like a small golden miracle -- crisp-edged, sunlit, audibly whispering as they spill onto the plate. They crackle when you touch them, release a sigh of steam when broken open, and taste like everything good about potatoes ever dreamed of becoming. Each one is salted with confidence, hot enough to make you impatient, perfect enough to forgive yourself for eating them all and not sharing The fries may be golden, but the staff is the real sparkle. What truly anchors this place is the people who work there. They greet you like they've been expecting you all day. They linger just long enough to ask how you're really doing. By the end of the meal, it feels less like you've been served and more like you've been cared for. Ray and Andrew served us today and I am remiss for not remembering all of the staff's names as everyone has treated us like familiar guests. Agua Dulce has a real jewel of a restaurant and if you aren't local, like us, it's worth the pretty drive.

The change of pace from the city was immediately noticeable--the open views, calm atmosphere, and small-town feel created the kind of ambience that makes you want to linger over coffee a little longer. I came in with one thing on my mind: a classic fried steak and eggs. When the plate arrived, it delivered exactly what you hope for from a hearty breakfast--crispy, golden breading on the steak, tender inside, paired with eggs cooked just right. It was comforting, satisfying, and full of flavor without being overly heavy. My girlfriend, who is expecting and arrived with a serious appetite, chose the Eggs Florentine. The dish was beautifully balanced: perfectly poached eggs resting over fresh spinach, topped with a smooth, rich hollandaise that tied everything together. The flavors were clean, fresh, and well executed. What stood out most was how fresh and flavorful everything tasted. Nothing felt rushed or overly processed, just well-prepared breakfast classics served in a setting that encourages you to relax and enjoy the moment. Between the delicious food and the peaceful scenery, the experience felt like a small escape from the everyday rush. A memorable breakfast spot in Agua Dulce. I'll definitely be making another stop here the next time I'm in the area.

    ###1. Customer Blamed for the Store's Own Operational Issues…read more I have been a Starbucks customer for over 30 years and have visited Starbucks hundreds of times over the years, as I often work from coffee shops. Unfortunately, my experiences at this newer location have been consistently disappointing because of one specific female barista (appearing to be in her late 20s to early 30s). As someone who relies heavily on drink customizations for accuracy, I prefer using mobile orders. When this store first opened, however, their system for handling mobile pickups and drive-thru integration was very disorganized. Nowadays at most Starbucks locations, mobile orders are organized alphabetically at the pickup counter, and if a customer arrives through the drive-thru, employees simply retrieve the prepared order and hand it to the customer at the window. This is now a very standard Starbucks process. However, when I placed a mobile order while sitting inside the store 6 months ago, she responded with visible frustration. She explained that if I ordered at the front counter instead, they could still prepare the drink the same way and apply stars and rewards there as well. The issue was not what she said, but how she said it. Her tone and facial expression felt irritated and hostile, as though the customer was the problem for expecting a standard Starbucks process. Because of that interaction, I avoided this location for nearly six months. Recently, I discovered that the store had finally adapted to a more organized mobile ordering system, allowing customers inside the café to pick up mobile orders properly. I was genuinely happy to return -- until today's experience happened. ### 2. A Reasonable Solution Was Ignored Today, I had to use the drive-thru because I did not have time to sit inside. Before ordering, I specifically asked the male employee taking my order whether I could apply my 25-Star discount to an iced espresso order. He confirmed that I could. However, when I reached the window, I was suddenly told that the discount could not be applied and that I would need to pay full price. To make the situation easier for everyone, I suggested a very simple solution: I would immediately place the order through the app so the stars could apply correctly, and they could simply hand me the espresso shots they had already prepared. After the employee went back inside, the same female barista from six months ago came to the window. She stated that I only had 25 stars and therefore no discount could be applied. I calmly explained the situation and showed her on my app that the discount had, in fact, applied successfully. But instead of handling the situation professionally or with flexibility, she responded with visible irritation. She eventually gave me the drink and said: "We'll cover it this time. You can use your reward next time." Ironically, this was the exact opposite of what she had told me six months earlier -- that stars and rewards could still be applied at the register instead of through mobile ordering. The issue was never about the $4.25 drink. It was about the attitude. The way it was handled felt less like customer service and more like I was being reluctantly given charity over a small misunderstanding caused by inconsistent communication within the store itself. After decades of supporting Starbucks, I found this experience surprisingly disrespectful. This review is not about getting something for free. It is about basic professionalism, hospitality, and how customers are treated. Sadly, this location no longer feels welcoming, and I do not plan to return.

I was a wine club member for a year, I've paid and attended a couple of special events, checked out their outdoor vending market, and love coming by just to relax for a glass of wine. The wine itself is excellent, and the ladies behind the counter are always incredibly kind and informative. The grounds are mostly nice, and I do love visiting the animals in the back. Here are a few areas that fall short for me: Like I said, I've attended a couple of paid events here. And while the dessert vendor is absolutely delicious, the boxed sandwiches provided are disappointing and practically inedible. It's surprising they continue to use the same sandwich caterer for events. The outdoor middle area is so unattractive. Can't they do anything nicer than wood chips and bark? As a vendor myself, I wouldn't ever want to join their market events. Instead of placing booths and tables along the pretty and easy to walk perimeter, the vendors set up in this field of wood chips, which makes it an awkward setup for both the vendors and shoppers. Steve, the general manager, is incredibly nice and charismatic during events. However, on regular random visiting days, I've found him to be unfriendly and even somewhat rude. It's really odd and a disappointing contrast to his event persona. So overall, it's (mostly) a pretty spot with great wine and excellent front counter staff. Wish I could give it five stars. Maybe one day I will.

When I first walked in i walked to the counter and waited about 5 minutes for him to come over and simply say "what can I get you?" No Hello or Welcome but I let it go. Then I asked him for 2 bagel sandwiches, he asked what kind and in the middle of me telling him he walked away to the bagel display and interrupted me and said what bread. I answered and then continued to tell him which sandwiches i wanted. He seemed very annoyed that he had to "make" my order. After making the sandwiches he walked straight to the register and i said I was gonna also get some donuts, my friend ordered 2 individual donuts and he walked straight the the register again, I once again said Im not done can I also get a dozen donuts he came back and by this time another customer had come in and I kindly told the guy to help him since I was planning on getting more items. He said "i already started your order I cant do that" so i continued he boxed up my dozen donuts and walked to the register never once asking me if i was done or if there was anything else I wanted so once again I said I wasn't done that I also needed a half dozen donuts, my neighbor had asked me to pick him up some also. He walked back and boxed them up and finally We went to the register. I was planning to pay for my neighbors donuts separate but after such a hassle I decided to just pay everything together in one transaction. Like I stated before I am a frequent customer of YumYum donuts and after experiencing the horrible customer service from this employee and reading other reviews that seem to describe the same man I hope the owners pay attention and realize that this guy is really effecting their business.
