We were stopping in Solvang for breakfast on a drive along the coast, and it would be a disservice to the Yelp community to not comment on how much Good Seed Coffee Boutique was a highlight of not only the morning, but the entire trip. From the first step inside, it was clear that this coffee shop was a community favorite - the baristas knew people's names, children excitedly were begging their parents for their favorite treats, and friends were reconnecting over steaming drinks and good smelling food.
The first impression did not disappoint, as our food and drinks were served warm, flavorful, and freshly made (plus perfectly instagram-able, with the beautiful flower vines lining the background of the artfully made lattes). The coffee was rich and delicious, and the food was filling, not to mention absolutely delicious. There may have been some plate licking involved to make the most out of ricotta in the toast.
Our only note for anyone on a budget is that the food was expensive. Rightfully so, from the incredible quality, but expensive nonetheless. My partner and I certainly wouldn't be able to afford to make this a routine, but it was a perfect morning treat for an end to a vacation. If you are in Solvang, I highly recommend you at least stop for a drink and a snack, just to experience the local businesses charm, and welcoming community atmosphere. Good Seed Coffee Boutique is the type of coffee shop that makes you want to come back over and over, regardless of the distance.
