    This is a spot located in the plaza with the Little Mermaid Fountain. The plaza had a lot of empty storefronts and is at the edge of the main tourists streets. It's a smallish shop with not a lot of seating, but it offers different comfortable options at some tables and cushioned seating around a coffee table. Local vendor crafts were on display for sale and an area stored communal games to play. Customer service was terrific from a very friendly, pleasant, & helpful lady. We ordered an Iced Chai Latte (spiced vs vanilla), a Cold Brew, & a Lemonade. We actually wanted their "Lemonade of the Month" which was strawberry, but she apologized that they didn't have anymore strawberry and offered other alternatives. It took a little while to get our drinks prepared, but she acknowledged the wait & assured us they would be out soon. She brought our drinks out to where we were seated. While she was diligent with cleaning areas after customers left, other areas around the windows, strings of lights, & plants were dusty with spiderwebs. We really enjoyed our very tasty drinks and had a nice leisurely time here.

    The Coffee House by Chomp is such a thoughtful, welcoming space tucked right into cozy Solvang, California. The ambiance is bright and open with plenty of seating for solo sippers, groups, and there's even accommodations for families. They have a fun corner for the kiddos and a jar of dog treats for the fur babies. The staff? Super friendly, patient, and genuinely helpful each time I visited (three times to be exact). You can tell they care about their community with one area of the shop offering fliers and pamphlets featuring city events and activities along with business cards. Drink wise The cold brew wasn't quite there for me--lacking that bold and smooth edge I look for. It had more of a 12-hour brew flavor consistency. The hot latte (with oat milk) was lovely: creamy, smooth, and just the right consistency. The lavender honey latte (with oat milk) was the star. It was lavender-forward (in the best way) with honey softening the edges. The espresso was subtle but present, rounding it out perfectly. This place has heart, good drinks, and great people. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area--or just passing through this charming little town.

    Was on a walk and came across this little coffee shop. The barista was very kind and welcoming. I asked her for a recommendation and she recommended a crème brûlée and a peppermint drink. I don't like peppermint so it was a quick choice for me. Best coffee I've had! Great recommendation. Also there's a cute little fountain outside of the building & a comfy couch. Highly recommend

    The coziest coffee shop

    Such a cute little coffee shop, although the entrance is a bit off the main street. Employees were super-friendly, the inside has cozy seating options, and their coffee was great! We had the snickerdoodle latte (sugary perfection) and a golden latte which was solid.

    Cinnamon roll scone

    Staff as friendly. The coffee was and stayed piping hot. They had a large selection of pastry items. This coffee shop has a large space where hey show case local artists and their work (specifically knitting at the time we came). The pastry was yummy, we got a cinnamon roll scone. And the coffee was ok. It was a bit too sweet and bitter for my tastebuds.

    Came in for a matcha latte and found myself in the cutest little coffee shop. I love the couches and comfy chairs. Service was friendly and helpful with my purchase. Parking is off any of the streets out front or to the sides. I love the fall menu! -pumpkin chai -snickerdoodle latte -horchata latte -toffee nut mocha -butter beer latte -sugar spice white mocha

    I was in NEED of a coffee just how I like. This place satisfied my craving for an iced honey lavender latte. Service could've been better though from the gal taking our order - not the friendliest. They offer a large variety of flavors like your classics, hazelnut and vanilla, but also rose, toasted marshmallow, amaretto, creme brulee, to name a few. We got 2 scones: mocha espresso chocolate chip and I forget what mine was, but both were tasty. Get them warmed up :) The shop had plenty of seating indoors but they also have outdoor seating on the side and you're in the shade! The artwork is unique and definitely catches your eye. I would happily return here for another coffee.

    Yummy

    Wonderful coffee and service. The scones are fantastic. It is a very friendly and cozy coffee experience. Highly recommend.

Although nowadays spices are much more easier to come by (just drive down to your nearest supermarket!); many spices are still on the scarcer side and represent luxury. Have no fear, though, because you no longer have to board a ship and find the passage to the Middle East but can simply head to the Solvang Spice Merchant. Solvang Spice Merchant is a female-owned (shout out to girl bosses!) spice boutique located in the central hub of the famous Danish tourist city of Solvang near Santa Barbara. Opening its doors a couple years before the Covid pandemic in 2018; Solvang Spice Merchant not only survived but thrived with a brick and mortar storefront and an online shipping option (flat rate of $10 shipping no matter the size of purchase!). The business features hand-crafted spices and seasonings, teas, and foodie gift sets serving both tourists and Solvang residents, alike. My boyfriend and I ventured into the Solvang Spice Merchant when visiting Solvang from Los Angeles for the city's Christmas-time Julefest and gazed our eyes on a shop that would make any King or emperor proud. The store is filled with floor to ceiling shelves of spices/seasoning mixes categorized by country/region and then further sub-categorized by ingredients, styles (BBQ, Pickling, etc) available in various bottle sizes (plus some can be purchased at the counter in bulk, as well). If you can conceive a certain spice or seasoning, trust me that Solvang Spice Merchant has it! Even if you are not in the market for spices; the store is fun to browse and discover all of the spices from around the world. My personal spice journey has endlessly been looking for Garam Masala (an Indian spice) which I could have purchased at the Indian shop by my apartment in Los Angeles - but what fun is that?! It is much better to come across Garam Masala at Solvang Spice Merchant where the spices are combined by hand and with love while enjoying the world of spices! We purchased a 2.3 oz bottle (the smallest) of Garam Masala for $10.25 which isn't cheap: but expected from a boutique spice store. I have since used the spice mix on chicken, Steelhead trout and steamed veggies and it is absolute perfection and makes my apartment smell delightful with its warm spices. The only complaint? None of the two young females behind the counter welcomed us into the store, offered any samples (which I learned the store does indeed do), ask if we needed help, etc. Solvang's main gimmick is being a welcoming tourist city ESPECIALLY during Christmas as it is known as the, "Most Christmas-y City in the Nation". Unfortunately, that Hallmark Christmas movie customer service was absent the night of our visit. Despite this minor qualm; Solvang Spice Merchant is a charming spice shop fit for a King, emperor, sultan or just Averages Joes like you and I visiting Solvang. Not only will you find whatever spice your heart desires but you will have an enjoyable time simply scanning the shelves.
