Love the name! I've walked by the past two summers I've been out here, but never went in. On my first morning being here, I didn't have any coffee, and I was staying right around the corner, so what a perfect time. There were a number of people inside already, and it's adjacent to a bank, which is pretty cool. I ordered the large cafe latte with an extra shot, to go. I didn't have to wait too long, and I appreciated the little heart which I'm sure would've looked better if I was staying. The coffee was just the right temp and very good! Great place to come to!

Always great. Enjoyed a carmel coffee. Staff friendly, great atmosphere. I will be back!

I never seem to have a pleasant experience here. Straight up rude employees and overly sweet, overpriced, tasteless drinks. I once asked the staff what beans they used and they said "I'm not sure." I will choose to support one of the many cafes in ashland with a significantly improved atmosphere, customer service, and product offerings.

Great little coffee shop offering a variety of baked goods and breakfast fare. Friendly service and cozy atmosphere. Definitely a local favorite.

Pony Espresso has easily become my favorite coffee shop in Ashland. The vibes inside are very cozy with a variety of chairs and seats to choose from. Their food all looks amazing and they have so much variety! Their iced chai is my current favorite with options of either sweet, spicy, or mixed and is easily the best ice chai I've had in town.

Matcha latte and vanilla latte.
Rebecca S.

The BEST matcha I have ever had in Ashland, but it is a little expensive. The service was good.

Seating is limited, but the coffee isn't bad. The staff is great. This place attracts the oldsters and a few rude millennials.

This is the GOAT breakfast spot of Ashland. They serve all the usual classics with finesse and…read morelove. The bacon comes crisp, the pancakes fluffy, the omelettes delicate, and the hash browns seared beautifully. Beyond that, they push their menu to incorporate delicious, more elevated ingredients. The smoked bacon omelette is a banger. If you like the carmelized flavor of French onion soup, you'll love this! So rich and deep with umami flavor, melding with diced bacon and fontina cheese. The Belgian waffle is also intense with bits of walnut and bacon baked in, which collides beautifully with hot maple syrup. So delicious! Lastly, I like to champion breakfast spots that have the courage to deliver expertly done hash browns. Breadboard doesn't even try, with the usual "home fries" cop-out (that nobody loves but will tolerate). Brothers serves hash browns, but they're usually soggy and falling apart. Not the case here. You get a nice, flat, crisp, rigid slab of hashbrowns, ready to accompany your main. Overall this is my number one spot for an Ashland breakfast. Definitely worth the small drive from downtown.

We got the special mushroom crepe, two orders of the salted caramel breve (hot and cold), and the eggs florentine with the fried polenta side. Highly recommend.

Wifey surprised me with a box of elegant chocolates for Valentine's Day from Zi Spice Cafe…read more(pronounced Zee) in Ashland. They are melt-in-your-mouth delicious and looked like little polished celestial planets packed in a precious box of 9! This "hidden gem" (pardon the cliché) opened last year by Razia Hayden (owner & chef) and often has live music being played on the enclosed patio. She serves unique savory dishes, inventive desserts and beverages based on her knowledge of global seasonings, rooted in Mediterranean flavors. Most everything is gluten-free, locally sourced and made with spices originating from India, Indonesia, North Africa and the Middle East. I feel a certain kinship with Razia, since her dishes combine spices and flavors that aren't pulled from a cookbook or 3rd party recipe, but purely from her own creative chops, travels and heart. Before diving into her handcrafted chocolate bonbons filled with various creams and ganache (fair trade cacao BTW), I first enjoyed their French toast to prime my sweet-tooth. It comes with three slices of their house-made bread, soaked in an orange blossom custard, finished with a dollop of saffron whipped cream. Other menu items include: Lamb Pilaf with Saffron Rice, Turkish Eggs, Harissa Chicken Crunch, and a unique cardamom-spiced coffee to mention a few. I'll be back to try more! Truth...

Holy profit margins, Batman! It seems the basis of this restaurant was to take simple elements and…read moreup-charge based on the infusion of spices, often in an unbalanced and excessive way. We ordered the kebab sandwich and French toast. In total, this ended up being 5 slices of identical fried bread, accented differently. The French toast was not traditionally battered before preparation, so a bit of false advertising if you are expecting a fluffy exterior. It came with several clashing flavors of orange, mango, cardamom, and saffron. Not much subtlety and a little bit of flavor confusion. The kebab sandwich didn't match the menu, which described sliced beef, goat cheese, tamarind, and yogurt. It was rather a heavily cardamom spiced hamburger patty with salad, picked onions, and a light sauce. With missing internal components and no sides, not worth $20. The drinks were also a bit confused, with the aftertaste becoming cloying from too many competing spices and floral elements. While spice is the flavor of life, I'm not sure a spice-forward restaurant is my cup of tea. Perhaps spices should be used more as an accent than a staple.
