Modern spot to grab a pastry and coffee in Solvang. I really appreciated the vegan pastry options, and the vegan monkey bar was very good. I liked my cold brew but my family didn't love their more specialty drinks. read more

Good Seed Coffee Boutique - Pastries, Vegan Monkey Bar, Vegan Pumpkin Snickerdoodle, Vegan Maple Pecan Scone - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Solvang, California

Excellent coffee, knowledgeable and friendly baristas, and great ambience to relax/spend some time in! Beware of how busy it will get past 8:30am (especially on weekends). If you care about good espresso, you will find it here. You can also enjoy specialty lattes here if you don't care about tasting the espresso. And the best of both worlds is to enjoy an espresso one day and a latte another! I'm a sucker for a good turmeric latte and theirs was on the spicy side, not sweet, which I really enjoy. It is great when a coffee shop can both do good espresso and good specialty drinks. I look forward to making my own coffee at home with a bag of their beans! read more

I went with a coffee made with their trifecta machine. I could taste the difference from a regular coffee. It was lighter and had a mild sweetness rather than bitterness. read more

Yelp! guided us here when we googled best coffee in Solvang It honestly was really good. I feel like I'm never satisfied with coffee. To be honest, I didn't get coffee, I got a turmeric latte, but it was really good and I tried my boyfriend's coffee, which was also good. We ordered a peanut butter toast to share and it was also pretty delicious because their bread is yummy. It definitely wasn't over sweet because they clearly don't use sweetened peanut butter. I like that, but my man is more of a Skippy, peanut butter lover, so he would've probably preferred that lol. We lucked out because they messed up on our order and accidentally made the Caprese toast so they gave us both. The cashier seemed a little odd... Maybe she was high? I'm not sure, but she was a little odd. The barista did a good job. My boyfriend ordered his coffee, extra hot, and he explained that he made it as hot as possible without "burning" the milk. I'm not sure how easy it is to burn milk, but at least he was being diligent. I do think he should brush up on his latte art skills because it's fun to get a really pretty drink, but whatever. It's better to taste good than look good. Both would be ideal! Overall, I was pleased by my visit. read more

*I could tell this was the cafe where ppl who know and need good coffee visit* Came here on Sunday around 9:30am and the line was snaking out the door. If you scan the QR code you can order ahead, which I ended up finally doing in the line as it was moving slow, but the pickup time was for 10:15am pick up.I did it anyway but then I saw some stuff I wanted to get that wasn't avail online so I added those items when I got to the front. Sad I couldn't get one of the old fermented sourdough breads (they were out of the red/white and the only other one was the walnut one which I didn't want since we have a nut allergy in our fam). I ended up getting the stuff I ordered at the counter faster than the pre-ordered items, though I ended up getting everything before 10:10am. We came here specifically for the vegan baked goods because my son is allergic to dairy and eggs. I also picked up a cinnamon bun here because even though I got one at birkholm's bakery for my husband, the cinnamon bun here looked more to his liking. I wanted him to try both and do a taste test (unsurprisingly he liked the one from good seed better - had more nuanced flavor and the cream cheese frosting made it more interesting than the standard version from birkholm's. Also bonus points that they warmed it up). For my son, we got the pumpkin choc chip bread (which was also gf), the v/gf snickerdoodle cookie, and the kids temp steamer w almond milk and vegan peppermint chocolate. My son loved the moist pumpkin chocolate bread which had the consistency of a very moist banana bread but he really really loved the snickerdoodle cookie, which starts out basic but continues to develop flavors in your mouth. The wait was annoying but we came on Dec 28-29 and the entire town was crowded w holiday joy seeking tourists and every place was a 1+ hr wait the night before when we were trying to find a place for lunch (so we ended up eating at the the new frontier supermarket). For the wait, we thought the food and beverages were excellent and worth the wait. My almond milk latte was perfect. My husband loved his chai latte and my son loved his vegan peppermint chocolate steamer. I'm glad I didn't get tempted to get coffee at other places where we bought baked goods before coming here. read more

Walked in here on a Saturday morning and it was pretty busy. I ordered a latte and the breakfast bowl. The coffee shop is really nice and clean with plenty of seating. The employees are all really nice and welcoming. My latte was nice and strong, a tiny bit too bitter. The breakfast egg bowl was delicious and a nice concept for a quick nutritious breakfast. I didnt get a picture of the bowl but I will say, if you dont like too much cheese, it may be worth mentioning when ordering. read more

Was in dire need of some caffeine while making the trek around Solvang. Saw this place on Pinterest and decided this was the one. There were many people inside, waiting to place an order, looking at their merch and enjoying their Java. They have unique choices of coffee to choose from as well as some pastries. We sat outside and people watched while we enjoyed our afternoon pick me up. They're not open in the evening so if you choose to try it, come in before 3-4pm depending on the day. read more

This was such a cute coffee shop in the middle of Solvang! As you walk in, you get the sense of a legit coffee shop. The barista was very friendly and was able to customize my drink. I got a ganache maple iced latte and it was perfection. it wasn't overly sweet and reminded me of a mocha! I already know the next time I'm solving I will be definitely there again! read more

The coffee in the shop, particularly their dark mocha were great. I purchased some Kenya to bring home and it was the absolute worst; very light roast, dry beans and a very sour, exceptionally sour taste. It is undrinkable. I feel like I was robbed. Don't wast your money here read more

You'll be hard pressed to find a good latte in Solvang, which is why Good Seed Coffee is always packed full of customers and non-stop people. They make a pretty decent latte. However, be ready to wait a good while for your coffee because there are only 2 employees; one taking orders and one making drinks. They work in great balance but it does take a while to crank out all the drinks. I'd still recommend coming here for a good cup of coffee (and good latte art). read more

Adorable venue with plenty of space and seating. Very friendly staff, varied eclectic menu, and most importantly - good coffee.

We were visiting Solvang and searching for a quick breakfast when we stumbled upon Good Seed. Wow, this coffee shop was great! They have the best cranberry orange scone I've ever had, and my kids loved their huge cinnamon rolls. We loved their lattes and hot chocolate too! read more

If you're looking for good coffee in Solvang, come here. We got the turmeric latte, vanilla latte, and breakfast bowl. There was surprisingly no wait (given the wait times everywhere else during this peak season). Service was fast and friendly. Loved that they are dog friendly and we were able to enjoy our drinks warm indoors. Breakfast bowl came out nice and hot. It was a savory treat next to all the sweet Danish pastries we were consuming. There's a nice variety of seating and all spaciously laid out. You can definitely enjoy your coffee at the park across the street too. read more

Nice coffee shop. The line was long, and the staff of 3 people were working as fast as they could to move it. So, about 25 minutes after coming in, we've got our coffee, and, to be honest, I'm not sure my vanilla latte was worth all that wait; it felt a bit watery and underwhelming overall... My husband liked his cappuccino though, and I guess maybe my expectations were too high considering all the buzz about this place. The ambience there was good, so we might give it another try with another drink next time we visit Solvang. read more

Don't know how I've missed this wonderful little coffee shop on my many trips to Solvang! It is such a lovely little coffee shop complete with good coffee and tasty treats. Great nitro cold brew. They had a seasonal pumpkin latte that was not too sweet but a delightful pumpkin flavor. Minimalistic but cute inside with some tables perfect for working or chatting. Also dog friendly. Great stop for a pick-me-up! read more

Came to Solvang during their kick off of the holiday events (Julefest!) with some friends and decided to have brunch then knew we needed coffee right after to wake up from that food coma! My friend searched up a coffee shop that was nearby and this popped up. Seeing the high reviews we decided to visit My friend ordered her iced americano and I was right behind her in line. And wow. I saw in other posts people said the staff here were pretty rude and it seemed to be the case when it came to my turn. After my friend ordered they just ran off. Didn't greet me, didn't tell me they were going to be right back - just left. My fiancé and I thought it was weird because they weren't busy at the moment but decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and decided to browse through the menu It was a pretty warm December day (Sunday, December 7th 2025!) and I wanted an ice coffee to wake me up and to cool down My fiancé saw this interesting drink on their menu called The Trifecta knowing that I love trying new drinks, pointed this one out to me. We ooh'd and ahh'd over the description and wanted to learn more about it. After browsing for a bit, someone came up and helped us with our order. i didn't get her name but she didn't necessarily have friendly vibes. I get your tired and dealing with tourist all day isn't ideal (trust me, I've worked retail long enough to know) but coming up to the register and being annoyed that I asked a question is not great service. I asked about The Trifecta and what the drink was about, she was very knowledgeable and explained the drink, we didn't see a price so we asked and then I also asked if it was a cold drink. She said no it's a hot drink, I asked are you able to make it iced? And she looked at me as if it was a stupid question. A simple "No sorry" would've been fine. Then I mentioned that I wanted something cold and asked what she recommended. And I finally decided on the a Vanilla Latte 12 oz. After we paid, my fiancé was questioning our cost. He asked me why did my 12oz cost nearly $12 and I was just as confused! We asked my friend how much her americano costed and it was about $7ish dollars We went up to ask her about how much our drink costed and she seemed confused and I was asked her we paid for a 12 oz and she said, yes you did get one and then I said how is our total nearly doubled? It seems like she added The Trifecta to our cost and said my fiance wanted to order that. He didn't even say he wanted it, we just wanted to ask more about it and but I decided I wanted a cold drink instead. She got so defensive and had the most annoyed look and told me that they were making the Trifecta for me. Then I think the manager came by and he was much more helpful and understanding of the situation. He was able to help us remove the other drink from our cost but while he was doing that the girl was very loudly complaining about me as she continued to work along side him and how I never said I only wanted one drink and other things. Wow. If you have something to say about your customers, talk about it on your own time but to loudly talk bad about me in store, in front of other customers who kept turning to look at me (at this point there was a small line) made me so embarrassed, I have never wanted to leave so quickly. I even apologized for the confusion and thanked for their help even after her talking about me loudly. It's a small shop, people can hear. I understand there was confusion and we both could've handled things differently, I should've asked for her to repeat my order and I could've caught the extra drink and she could've confirmed if I still wanted the other drink after inquiring about other drink options. But how the situation escalated afterwards? I am shocked to say the least. If your reviews have a good bunch talking about how rude your staff is, that should be a wake up call. Good coffee can be ruined by rude staff. read more

Fantastic small coffee shop with unique offerings and lovely baked goods. Very kind people working here as well with fast service. Ambiance is great, seating is cozy and the lobby is gorgeous!! I love that they use handmade ceramics as their for-here ware. I got the maple latte with cinnamon and it is as delicious as it is pretty. Their seasonal pastry, a peach, vanilla and bourbon biscuit, went perfectly with the latte. So cool that they offer seasonal pastries that are made from scratch! read more

Limited menu, but what they do, they do it well! I got the cold brew, and it checked all the right boxes. Very strong and high in caffeine like a good cold brew, so be ready to be awake. Inside was cozy. Good place to work. Found some outlets, so you're able to charge your laptop. It's a bit small, so it can get loud. Dog friendly. read more

WOW!!!! What a superb matcha find in this small tourist town. I've tried over 100+ matchas throughout the country and this makes my top 5 hot matcha lattes. It was just the perfect amount of sweetness and flavor. I added vanilla into mine which I think made it delicious, as my partner didn't add the vanilla and hers wasn't as great. The line was quite long but it was a Saturday morning and SO WORTH IT! read more

Super cute local coffee shop in the neighbor. Came on a Saturday afternoon and it wasn't too busy, plenty of seating available. Not too many non coffee drink options so went with their matcha latte. Although it was pretty good, additional $0.80 for oat milk is quite steep making it almost $8 for 16 oz. The cold nitro coffee is made in house and was very tasty. We did try the expresso tonic, unfortunately tasted more like root beer. Not our cup of tea. Luckily the staff was able to switch it out for us. They are very friendly and would come back. read more

Good coffee. I learned to ask for half sweet if getting a flavor. Full sweet was way to sweet for my latte. Otherwise the shop is cute, clean and had great service. They were short staffed the first day we went but once the third person came in, they were moving very fast. It was worth the wait. The cinnamon roll was delicious as well as their breakfast bowl. I would recommend. read more

A supervisor from one of the abundance of bakeries in Solvang (Yelp lists 16!), when I asked where I could find the BEST coffee in Solvang, even though her bakery served coffee, she pointedly stated Good Seed Coffee Boutique. This place is so understated but look feel and appearance both inside and outside. Enter; Katy the barista who greeted us. There is zero ambiance/artwork/marketing - only a coffee machine and 6 baked goods all lined up in a row at the front counter. We were so tempted to leave but Katy reeled us in, entertained us and educated us therefore selling us their fabulous baked goods her bold and confident personality along with selling us 7 total drinks, when we were only supposed to stop there so that I could pick up my longed for great cup of coffee . Thanks to the manager from that 1st of 16 Solvang bakeries. Thanks to Good Seed Coffee Boutique. Super great thanks to Katy. read more

I needed a mid day pick me up so it felt like the perfect time to give Good Seed Boutique a go! I popped in at noon on a weekday so it was naturally very laid back when I came in. I just wanted the basics so I ordered a small plain latte! The cinnamon roll caught my eye so I ordered one of those as well. After just a couple of minutes, my order was ready to go. The barista that gave me my order was very kind. When I was in the car, I took a sip of my latte and was on my way. The latte was exactly what I needed at that moment in time -- a boost of energy! When I got home, I took a few bites of the cinnamon roll and figured I should share with my family heheh. It was big, sweet, and had plenty of frosting. Overall, my trip to Good Seed was efficient and exactly what I needed on this sleepy midweek afternoon. read more

Wanted to try this place because of the good reviews and how busy it looked outside on a weekend. Decided to go on a weekday and it was way less crowded. I would say if you're a hardcore coffee drinker this is the place for you. My boyfriend and I like coffee with a sweeter taste and although we got a mocha latte, it was still super bitter. Service was great and drinks were very quick, but we ended up not liking the flavor. They also don't have a huge menu so options are very limited. read more

The coffee shop was also spacious enough! I loved that there were stools outside to enjoy our coffee. Parking was available behind the shop but I can see how it might be harder to find on the weekends! Highly recommend stopping by! And we will be returning here when we visit Solvang again! read more
