Not sure why I like stopping here whenever I'm in Solvang area since I haven't even tried any of its drinks. I have only been here to buy its coffee beans. Maybe it's the llama logo or the homey vibe of this place. It just has an unassuming atmosphere which I like. Haven't noticed any pretentious coffee snobs here, maybe other than myself. My wife loves this place too, and she really liked its regular drip coffee. I didn't see it but she mentioned this place has a tiny retro fridge on its condiment counter where they keep Half & Half. Such a clever idea. I usually get the Yama Blend whole beans and make pour over with it. Flavor notes are milk chocolate and baking spices. Service has been good so far, and the price is reasonable. read more

Very nice coffee shop. We get our beans here to make coffee at home, we like to mix half medium roast and half espresso. They have a nice loyalty program and an air tight container that you bring in for refills. We are newly local, before we moved to Buellton we ordered the beans shipped in 10 lb bags. Staff is very nice, there are cute Alpaca gifts in the shop. I have gotten the empanadas and some pastries, no complaints, always good. read more

Great spot in Buellton close off the freeway, way better than nearby Starbucks. They have great speciality drinks and food pastries. Good outdoor seating for you and your pups. They also have treats inside for pups. Loved going here every morning that I stayed at Flying Flags nearby read more

I had such a delicious iced latte on Thursday that I returned for another on Friday. It was made with whole milk (yum) and tasted smooth and delicious. My husband enjoyed a cup of fresh brewers coffee that he liked so well that he bought a pound to take home. The service was friendly and efficient. The shop had some inside seating but we did not stay. Please note that this shop is in a strip mall next to the Albertsons's shopping center and can be a little tough to locate. 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

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

Zaca Coffee - Llama Latte, almond croissant - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Buellton, California

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

One of my favorite coffee shops! Their Pistachio Latte with coconut milk is so delicious I had to stop in every morning during my vacation. The staff were always so friendly and chatty. I wish I lived closer! read more

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

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

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.

Fabulous locally owned coffee shop. They roast their own beans so the beans are fresh! Nice employees and owner. A tad of a challenge to fund but worth it! read more

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

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

Zaca Coffee - an adorable alpaca souvenir from the shop - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Buellton, California

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

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

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.
