Valley Grind - SANTA YNEZ

Amazing drinks and food! Best European style coffee the espresso is smooth (not bitter), and cappuccinos are creamy, not foamy. And the food....fresh and local with always something new and exciting on the specialties. Wine and beer pairings. Great place with fun ambience!

Alberto his team are friendly and go out the way to be helpful. Besides, the food is delicious! Our Backroads crew loved the ass.

Is about a 15 minute walk from Chumash casino in the town of Santa ynez. Quaint little coffee shop more spacious than most Starbucks. The prices are a little cheaper than Starbucks. The staff is very polite and friendly.they also have a beautiful outside patio. Overall well worth the walk.

Wow...so glad my wife and I found this place! We are effectively, coffee snobs, and we had our hopes dashed by several other coffee places in the area. Pony was like a breath of fresh air. We walked in and were pleasantly greeted, and the array of baked goods looked fresh and exciting flavors. My wife ordered the avocado toast and it was HUGE! What a great surprise for her. The coffee was very well made, smooth, even after we added an additional shot. The freshly squeezed OJ was on point! When we ever come back down into Santa Ynez, we will be stopping at Pony for certain!

Perfect spot for a morning coffee and breakfast before you start your day, whether it's during the week or on the weekend.
