    This is a cute coffee shop right off the main road super convenient. Blueberry muffin was perfect, crumbly on the outside and light and fluffy, not too sweet. I just got a basic latte, the latte art was a nice touch!

    an absolutely perfect vanilla latte. no notes.

    sometimes i'm in the mood for something adventurous, sometimes all i want is an expertly made iced vanilla latte. zaca coffee delivered and then some. a latte so good, i don't feel the need to shop around. this will be my preferred spot every time i'm in the area. bonus points for a clean cafe and the sweetest baristas!

    The service here is top notch. I visited their Santa Barbara cart last year and enjoyed the coffee. This is more your typical shop with a few tables and high top bar seating along the window. We looked for a local spot near our hotel and I remembered the name and logo. We were greeted by a helpful team who were in great spirits. I got my usual drip and my wife got the chai. I liked to hear that they roast their own beans and the coffee was spot on and fresh. The chai was not too spicy and not too sweet. We also got a tri tip frittata which was super tasty! Highly recommend!

    Dirt road chai and matcha latte

    Heading to San Diego from the Central Coast requires a good start with good coffee. And Zaca delivers that in spades. They roast their own beans and it's pretty tasty. The locals support this business very well and the staff are passionate about their work. I ordered a "dirt road chai latte". One of the best dirty chais I've had in a while. I almost went home with a bag of their beans. And I may need to order it online when I coffee supplies run low. Definitely try the coffee and have a bagel!

    Pumpkin spice cold brew
    Audrey E.

    We were visiting Buellton for a friend's wedding and decided to get some coffee before checking into our hotel. Looked up some local coffee shops and found this place on Yelp and it had pretty good reviews. First off, staff members and location were great. Friendly service, helpful staff members. Location was decorated nicely, clean, spacious, nice ambiance. So this is why I rated this a 4 stars. The coffee itself was ok, not the best that I've had. We both got their special which is a pumpkin cold brew with a cute ghost drawn in the cup. The cold brew tasted water down, not much flavor in it.

    Latte

    Nice little coffee shop on our way through! The coffee was great! The staff and what seemed to be the manager (owner) was very kind. They also had a nice little touch for the pups, yummy biscuits! Highly recommend stopping in, supporting local establishments!

    Delicious Cappuccino

    Awesome service. Great Chai Latte and coffee. Several options for delicious hot and cold foods.

    Bear claw, croissant w ham and cheese
    C P.

    Ordered the iced coffee, iced mocha latte, bear claw and breakfast croissant with ham and cheese, all were delicious. Would get them again. A few minutes wait time. They have free dog treats. Plenty of seating. Lots of cute merch for sale.

    This was a lovely place to stop & grab some coffee. They've done such a great job transforming the space from its previous tenant (a bakery). The space is open & bright with plenty of seating. I tried their pistachio decaf latte, which was excellent. There's no bitter aftertaste like you find with some espressos. This is a great place to have some coffee/snacks and just relax or try and get some work done. The servers were friendly, courteous, and efficient.

    Llama Latte, almond croissant
    Madelyn S.

    Prior to the opening of the shop, I had tried some Zaca lattes at their trailer cafe! When I heard they were opening an actual cafe in town, I was excited to give try it out. I admittedly was a little delayed in making this review! I've stopped a couple of times and gotten to try their lattes as well as some of the baked goods. From a savory standpoint, the spinach feta egg empanada hits the spot! For a sweet tooth, their almond croissant has a perfect balance of everything. For drink, I tend to lean towards an iced latte! I'll get a flavor if I'm feeling fun but otherwise enjoy a regular latte :) They have lots of seats inside and outside which makes it nice to sit back and enjoy your treat. If you're thinking about stopping by, do it! Make sure to arrive a bit early if you want to ensure all the goodies are there for choice.

    Enjoying my Zaca Americano!

    Enjoying my Zaca Americano! I trek from Long Beach to Pacifica annually for the World Dog Surfing Championships. My two dogs are competitors. On the way back to SoCal I stop here in Buellton to get my favorite espresso drink! Zaca Coffee is the best! Please follow @Carsonsurfdog for exciting dog surfing adventures.

    Plenty of sitting, just chilling place

    Stopped quick to check out new spot for Zaca Coffee on our way heading out of Buellton back to Santa Barbara. Highly recommend this experience. Great space, friendly staff and real coffee flavor coffee. Space is roomy, warm, welcoming, and plenty of choices. Love that their Americano has a wonderful rich coffee flavor without any after burnt taste. We will stop again next time we are in Buellton for that caffeine kick. Don't forget to check out the cute merchandise and grab a pound to go. Shop locally.

    Iced vanilla latte and sausage and egg empanada
    Elena P.

    Came in on a Sunday morning with my friend for a coffee and snack. We both got the iced vanilla latte and it was good. I wish the coffee flavor was stronger because the coffee is so good but it did its job. We shared a sausage and egg empanada and it was so delicious! It came with a creamy yet spicy sauce and also a flavorful chimichurri. My friend and I loved it! Every bite was flavorful and delicious, I would definitely get that again. The barista was friendly and helpful and also parking was super easy, we were able to pull right up to the front. Standard coffee shop ambiance, friendly vibes all around. I will be back.

To drink, I had the Brown Sugar Cardamom Iced Latte and it was solid albeit on the milkier side. I could taste the cardamom flavor which I liked, but the espresso could've been stronger. I did like the small crunchy iced used though. To eat, I had the Valley Breakfast Sandwich with bacon which was around $16. It was TINY relative to the price. I had a big sandwich from High Street Deli in SLO which came with a generous portion of bacon and avocado for $15 while I would've had to pay even more to add avocado on top of the $16 for this sandwich. The bacon portion is also really small. Regardless of the price, the sandwich was decent and I liked the buttery and soft biscuit and the cheesy and custardy eggs. However, it is very overpriced for what it is. The interior of the cafe is clean and nice with indoor seating and some outdoor seating. They also seem to have wifi and outlets. There's also a private bathroom. For parking, they have a free lot in front of the cafe.

I still remember buying butter cookies at the Copenhagen airport, and I've been craving that same style ever since, especially because there aren't many places near me in my area that sell them freshly made. I randomly came across Danish Village Bakery and found a tub of assorted cookies for around $20. The lady working inside helped me right away and answered my questions about which items were the most popular and whether the cookies were freshly made. She was friendly and made the visit quick and easy. You can buy Danish cookies at regular grocery stores, but these tasted completely different. They were softer, fresher, and had that rich, buttery flavor that packaged cookies are usually missing. They were even better than the airport cookies I remembered! The bakery itself had a cute, homey, old-fashioned atmosphere, and there was plenty of free parking nearby. I'm really glad I stopped in because the cookies ended up being one of my favorite treats from the trip. I would definitely return for another tub the next time I'm in town.
