Zaca Coffee - an absolutely perfect vanilla latte. no notes. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Buellton, California

Clean ambience. Great customer service. Friendly and knowledgeable barista. Love supporting local business. When we are in town, we will definitely be back and highly recommend. read more

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! read more

Zaca Coffee - Chai - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Buellton, California

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! read more

Zaca Coffee - Dirt road chai and matcha latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Buellton, California

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Great coffee and awesome ambiance! Service is extra special. Well worth a visit the next time you are craving a coffee.

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. read more

Stopped by to grab a quick coffee. The matcha and blueberry muffin were great, served by friendly staff.

Nice cozy local's coffeehouse just off the main drag in Buellton. They didn't have any jam for my toasted everything bagel, so they offered me honey FROM THEIR OWN RANCH! Yum. They raise llamas and alpacas! AND roast their own coffee. A good stop. read more

Yummy coffee, cute shop, and very friendly staff! There is a Starbucks across the street, but just go to Zaca - it's much better! I stopped in just after opening and there were no other customers, so i had a chance to chat with the young gal that was making my coffee. I didn't catch her name, unfortunately, but she was a doll and pointed me in the right direction for a few things to do while I was in town for the day! Definately give this place at try! read more

The baristas were friendly and it was super cute inside. I got an everything bagel with cream cheese and an iced vanilla coconut latte. The bagel was good, but the latte tasted a little watered down.

Love this spot! I have to stop every time I come to the west coast. I highly recommend the llama latte.

This is a lovely little country cafe tucked away in a retail strip mall type area. It has a nice patio area. We were warmly greeted. The coffee and cookie were both excellent. I liked the coffee enough to buy a bag of recently roasted Yama whole bean coffee. I brewed some at home and was pleased to experience a rich yet smooth and flavorful cup of Jo! Great place to stop in on our way up the coast. read more

Friends had mentioned this great new coffee place they'd found in Buellton, so we decided to check it out on a trip to Los Olivos this weekend - and wow!! So glad we did! Super friendly & knowledgeable baristas, delicious coffee, lattes, pastries & handmade empanadas, spare but cozy llama-themed decor, dog- & kid-friendly patio & staff - Zaca Coffee is absolutely worth seeking out! AND it turns out the llama theme isn't just a whimsical touch - the owners have a ranch nearby where you can meet llamas & alpacas & goats & chickens & pigs!! WHAT?!! Definitely on the agenda for next time! read more

Such a friendly, nice coffee shop! Both girls who worked on Sunday, July 20th, were so sweet and helpful, with great personalities. We found their coffee and gluten free cookies delicious and walked out with a bag of their medium roast. We visit the area often...so we will definitely be back! read more

A hidden gem! The staff is very friendly, the coffee is good and the pastries are AMAZING! Such a cute spot and there's plenty of parking and outdoor seating as well. read more

I had such a horrible experience at this coffee shop coffee tasted VERY bitter and the morning girl was so rude it was very disappointing experience considering one of my good friends recommended me here. Will not return staff needa to be trained on customer service!! read more

Zac a Coffee is still very new to their Buellton location. Although a little hidden they are well worth seeking out. They offer some of the best coffee in Santa Barbara county (yes I do try a lot of coffee houses). By best coffee, I mean what is served to drink. Too many cafe reviews are about everything but the coffee. I am not rating a sandwich shop, a restaurant, or a doughnut shop. These are all in the area as well. I am talking about coffee here and Zaca coffee is great. Once my current coffee stash runs out I will buy some of their's. I personally like the medium roast but they offer a full spectrum. I do not like extremely dark roasts as they are too bitter for me. I am very picky about the coffee I drink and routinely order different coffees for home use. The location, with indoor and outdoor seating, is very nice as well. I would urge anyone to give them a try and share your experience, mine was great. read more

Zaca's Walker Blend is easily the smoothest, best tasting coffee you can buy if you're a fan of drip coffee. I've tried a lot of different coffee beans in my life and to date, this was probably the best tasting drip coffee I've had. Recently I ventured into the world of espresso and after trying several popular premium brands, I came back to Zaca to try their Bosko blend and again, was pleasantly surprised. It had a bold, chocolate and nutty taste and wasn't bitter like Bluebottle and others. It was also a high quality bean that didn't require me to grind as fine as other beans. Highly recommend Bosko if you're an espresso fan. read more

Beautiful shop with amazing coffees. We got an alpaca souvenir for our toddler, she's obsessed! We went to Zaca Coffee twice over our weekend trip and every coffee we tried was excellent. The service of course was top notch, everyone was welcoming and understanding. We'll be coming here again and again whenever we visit town. read more

I recently visited the area and am always looking to try new coffee shops, which this was located within walking distance of the motel we stayed at. This place was nestled in the back of a strip mall, not easy to see off the main road. I was greeted by staff with a welcoming hello, staff was friendly and engaged. Ambiance was lovely, small area with tables and chairs and a second seating area with comfy couches. I tried their drip coffee which I found to be delightful. The place offers food options as well, I got the ham and cheese croissant and a breakfast empanada. Both were tasty. I would recommend a try if you are looking for a nice place to check out read more

Cool little local spot! I believe they roast their own beans, too. Great view of the Santa Ynez mountains from the seating area.

Great ambiance (good music!), good coffee drinks, decent pastries, very nice and helpful workers. Lots of good merch.

Wonderful coffee with a great vibe. The atmosphere is very warm and friendly. I would highly recommend this coffee shop.

Coffee was perfect, mixed berry scone was delicious with a touch of lemon! Customer service was nice and friendly. The ambiance was perfect with soft country music playing. read more

Coffee was AMAZING. Service was the cherry on top. I been sick and tired of these soy sauce x lemonade tasting coffees in LA. On my drive up the coast, I decided to stop by here and it was the best decision. Each bean has a nice story describing the inspiration behind the roast. Had to pick up a bag for my home set up. 10/10 would come back. read more

We were really excited to try this place on our way home from Morro Bay. It has great reviews but when we got there, at 2:10, it was closed. We triple checked the hours before we got off the 101. Yelp and the actual door said they were open until 2:30. It looked like it had been closed for a while. No one was around, lights off, stools up. Totally get things happen but unfortunately we had to go to big Starbucks when we really wanted to support and try local. Maybe next time. read more
