Recently discovered this place! Zaca coffee is a cute little coffee trailer in the Santa Barbara Funk Zone. The girls working were really sweet. I ordered a Matcha latte which was really good. They also have kids juice boxes. My daughter got one and was very excited about it. They had empanadas which I will definitely go back and try at some point. Very spacious and was easy to find. Plenty of parking. They had some fun lattes on the menu, which I would definitely try in the future! Also shoutout to them for having doggy treats! read more

Cute coffee trailer with lots of delicious drink options. I love that you can order ahead on their website. Service was fast and staff were very friendly. There's plenty of seating, but it's all outside because of the nature of the food truck situation. There were also no bathrooms, again because it's a food truck. I would still return if I'm in the area, and would plan out my coffee consumption with respect to the bathroom situation better next time. read more

Ended up trying new coffee places both from carts/trailers! Zaca Coffee Trailer is a cute little trailer that's tucked in a parking lot in the Santa Barbara arts district. When we went, there was no actual parking in the lot itself as I think they leave it open for seating and other businesses which is smart since it's not a huge lot anyway. So you can park in the paid lots or just find street parking. I got a vanilla latte for my husband which I think was the llama latte and I got the honeysuckle iced coffee since I read that was good. At 10 am on a Tuesday, it wasn't crowded at all. The woman making my coffee was really nice and I enjoyed my coffee a lot! Will be back when I'm in the area. read more

Lucky I tried this coffee as I was waiting for Mony's to open. Wish I lived near so I could have tried the pistachio latte macchiato! read more

Quick service, friendly staff. Ordered one of the staff recommendations, which I think was a cinnamon toast crunch latte? The flavor itself was really good, but there was a toooooon of cinnamon. Still the best coffee we had that weekend in Santa Barbara. Good balance of flavor vs coffee read more

Another amazing coffee experience at Zaca. Great music, shade, and sun. This is a little hidden gem in the fun zone. What a treat. Their little pastries are delicious and they make their chocolate syrup in house at their main location in the valley. I'm really happy that the alternative non-dairy milk is $.50 This is reasonable and probably one of the better offers in town. Amy serves up a great latte and mocha with a smile thank you everyone read more

When in Santa Barbara, it's always coffee first at Dart Coffee Co. till I stumble upon Zaca Coffee Trailer from signs leading to this really cool vintage trailer in the the Funk Zone. Zaca Coffee Trailer was founded in 2021 in the Santa Ynez Valley by a huband and wife team, there is another located in the city of Buellton "Central Coast" parking can be a bit of a challenge. There are about five table and chairs under a cover top and two picnic tables with umbrellas, there is a area that you can order merchandise from like shirts, caps, mugs and coffee. It was so nostalgic to order my flat white from here, it did not take long and it was really good, and yes I will return back here when in the 805 read more

Yum! Love the seasonal flavors and appreciate how they adjusted the amount for me so the peppermint wasn't too overwhelming. There was a constant line of people ordering but they were quick to make drinks. Great little place! read more

Stumbled on this coffee trailer by accident since my usual café was closed, and I'm glad I did. My go-to order, a macchiato, hit the spot smooth, bold, and balanced just right. I also tried the pistachio latte, which looked great but fell a little flat in flavor compared to what I was expecting. read more

This trailer is right across from Mony's and has a good amount of outdoor seating. Two picnic tables have umbrellas for those wanting shade. You walk up to order and then the staff will call your name when your order is ready. The staff were super friendly when I came and educated me on their empanadas (which are baked by a local couple). The empanadas were delicious! I had the egg and sausage, quinoa, apple, and guava with cream cheese. Yes i had four, don't judge me. All were delicious but the guava with cream cheese was ::chefs kiss:: The iced coffees were very smooth and enjoyable. I wish there was a tad more vanilla syrup in it but hey! Better than too much! I'd definitely come back again. Fair warning, because this is located in the funk zone, you may have difficulty finding parking. read more

The latte was good. The empanada wasn't great (the cheese was clumpy). It was flavorful but could be so much better (the barista did warm it up slightly for me, but would have tasted great when hot). The guava-cheese pastry was decent but the guava jam was too sweet. Love the location and the picnic tables. Great service. Expected a lot more but was a good experience nevertheless. Parking: there is a public parking lot within a couple of minutes walking distance but it can get full really quickly on the weekends. read more

This is such a cute coffee or tea stop for your Santa Barbara weekend adventure. Located across from a popular Mexican restaurant and tucked inside a gated parking lot, the coffee truck is absolutely charming. There's no indoor seating, but the outdoor setup feels relaxed, cozy, and welcoming. Tip: The current seasonal drink is the iced cherry mocha -- I noticed lots of people ordering it! Bonus Tip: The baristas are incredibly kind and even allow you to grab food from the Mexican restaurant across the street and enjoy it at the coffee shop seating. Such a wonderful bonus! read more

Cute little coffee trailer with some outdoor seating! I ordered an iced honeysuckle matcha. It was a little wait because only one person was doing everything. It was sweet, but once all mixed together the matcha overpowered the honeysuckle syrup flavor. I love that they have outdoor picnic tables to enjoy your coffee and the space is decorated very cute. They are also dog friendly. read more

This was my first time trying Zaca's and it did not disappoint!!!!! I wanted to try something different from my usual go-to and this place might just take the spot. I ordered a hot vanilla latte and my girlfriend ordered an iced honey matcha latte, both were 10/10! The service was excellent, both the barista and cashier were super friendly. I'm ready for my next visit here read more

5/5 -- Great vibes, amazing coffee, perfect pit stop Zaca Coffee is such a hidden gem in Santa Barbara. I stumbled upon it while staying nearby and was immediately drawn in by the chill outdoor seating and friendly setup. The coffee trailer is tucked along a quiet street, but don't let the low-key vibe fool you -- the coffee here is legit. I ordered both an iced coffee and a hot latte -- both were incredibly smooth, rich, and well-balanced. The baristas clearly know what they're doing. They even served it with a little flair in the latte art What made it even better was the outdoor setup -- shaded tables, good music, and games like giant Connect Four if you're in the mood to hang out for a bit. It's the kind of place where you can sit and soak in the Central Coast sunshine without any rush. Also, big shoutout for having space to sit and a nice mix of people just enjoying the day. If you're heading through SB, especially the downtown area, I highly recommend stopping by Zaca Coffee for a quality cup and good energy. read more

An afternoon iced vanilla latte was great. The coffee was smooth and not too sweet, quick service, and an affordable price. I took it to go but there is a shady area with tables to sit and chill. read more

Love the actual coffee here and love the friendly baristas. They've all been very kind. They'd get 5 stars. However WiFi, bathrooms, and more variety of food all still have room for improvement. Still, try their coffee ... it's definitely superior to the place around the block. read more

Good coffee, cute trailer with the most adorable llama logo on the merch!! My latte was over $8 with of course an added tip because tipping is just a must-- but really, I left feeling like there were not enough ounces in my cup of coffee to justify the cost. It did taste good though and it was delightfully honey tasting, which I loved. The llama latte I was hoping to find out that it had some sort of fun llama add on of some kind like llama milk-- well, actually, is there such a thing?! Either way, come to find out, it's just a cute namesake afterall but nonetheless and good find off the main road in Santa Barbara and my coffee was a nice caffeine boost to get me through the afternoon. Also, I LOVE that they give out free dog treats, such a great touch for all of us dog lovers!!!! read more

Come for the coffee, stay for the outdoor funk zone vibes. Learned that they are roasters out of Santa Ynez Valley, offering a handful of blends + a decaf one, without too much in the way of sourcing. The Brazil, Columbia & Ethiopia blend on espresso was well prepared by the friendly and helpful barista, served to-go only in a neatly branded paper cup. The coffee itself (Bosko's Blend) had a juicy acidity, light sweetness with substantial body & strong chocolate/ nutty overtones; signature of a more traditional leaning espresso. Overall a very enjoyable coffee, for which I plan on returning to try in a milk drink, or maybe a house specialty beverage. Will update when that happens. They also offer breakfast empanadas, which were good if a little unorthodox; the spinach was open-faced? Not a problem, since it was delicious and well balanced. The egg empanada was round? But closed and crimped this time. Cute, if a little doughy, which was not helped by the extra dough on the inside, where it competes with the filling. I'll try a different one next time, but you gotta show up earlier rather than later for the more popular ones. Would definitely recommend. read more

So cute! Just what I needed. I don't drink coffee, but my iced tea was perfect. Centrally located. Wanted something that was not corporate. read more

Very cool spot with friendly service. The iced peppermint matcha tasted funky but probably because it's not something I usually get. read more

Cool little coffee spot in the Funk Zone. Nice ambiance in the breezy patio anchoring the kitchen trailer. The staff is super friendly and quick on getting your order out. Tried the daily special - Maple Dirt Road Chai and was very glad I took that road. read more

while we we walking around the funk zone we came across a friendly Llama! I believe named Moe? Haha Moe's friends mentioned that he is the mascot for Zaca Coffee nearby. The following day we ate across the street and realized it was the Zaca Coffee trailer right there so we just had to go grab coffee. The girl at the counter was friendly and I asked what the "Llama Latte" was and she said it was just the name they gave for their latte and the different syrups they had available. I decided to go with the vanilla latte, it was an okay latte. I think if I was back in town I would try another of their drinks. But the trailer is inside a cute little area, plenty of seating, and fast service. read more

We were so surprised to find this little gem tucked away in the funk zone! We love this coffee place! We have been to the original one in Buellton several times on our travels. We love their story read more

Through Instagram I learned about the opening of a Zaca coffee trailer here in Buellton! Considering we don't have too many coffee shops right in town, it was a place I knew I needed to check out. It's very easy to find with some signs in the streets! Plenty of parking when arriving. When I walked up to the window, I knew I wanted a warm beverage but wasn't in the mood for an espresso drink. I ended up choosing a hot chocolate. I hadn't intended on getting a pastry but when I saw them in the window I couldn't resist. I was stuck between a cinnamon roll or strawberry roll but opted for the strawberry roll per the recommendation of one of the ladies running the trailer. They were very kind and helpful. About a minute or two later my order was good to go! The hot chocolate was very delicious and not too rich yet definitely chocolatey. I waited until I got home to try the strawberry roll and oh my gosh it was sooo good. The pastries themselves aren't made by Zaca but made by a local business :) Overall, I really enjoyed my experience at Zaca and will definitely be coming again! Highly recommend. read more

Currently on bae-cation and stopped in SB to kill some time. Shawty and I needed a midday pick me up. We took it yelp to find some coffee and stumbled upon this place. While the vibes were there -- cute truck, shaded seating, cool merch, + treats for dogs -- the coffee was bunz. Though it was fairly priced, it tasted burnt af, stale, and bitter. Maybe that's how sb locals be sippin, but it ain't for me. ;( read more
