My new favorite coffee place. We stay at Lake Cachuma, and sometimes you gotta get good espresso and WiFi.

Always delicious coffee & amazing pastries. The staff is excellent, and the service is fast! UPDATE: Pony Espresso now serves dinner. Great tacos & other choices.

A unique combination of coffee and wine! Places like this could make a killing if there were more of them. This was nice because my wife loves wine and I love coffee and what's more there are comfortable sofas and comfortable chairs and proper tables with chairs and they serve soup and sandwiches and coffee wine and it's very comfortable place to spend some time. There's even an outdoor patio area

They charged for a 16 oz. And gave me a 12. Biscotti is Terrible.

THE LATTE ART WAS INCREDIBLY UGLY. I was so disappointed. ☹️☹️☹️ I typically don’t like hot coffee. Somehow today I ordered it because I was expecting a nice looking latte art! Check out what I got here!

I've lived in the valley for years and have seen the shop go through so many different owners. They mostly kept the same theme going which made it comforting despite the many changes but I don't really care for the new remodeling. Not to completely hate on the new owners but this is just my honest opinion. It's not meant for locals anymore but for tourists. The largest coffee is more of a medium, it's overpriced , and the coffee menu is small. I've gone twice trying to give it a chance but it's just not for me. Great for "girlfriend outings" and if you're not from the area. But if you're a local like me, go elsewhere.

The service was friendly and a cool atmosphere, but what we ordered food wise left a LOT to be desired. Not sure how you can charge $15 for a loaf of bread and a quarter can of tuna with very little flavor. Save yourself the trip for lunch

This place is super cute and deserves more reviews! Kind of a chic cafe. I was just passing through but the inside looks great for sitting and working, there’s a patio outdoors and I enjoyed my breakfast tacos! A little pricey, $14 for breakfast tacos but they were good.

There were 4 of us in to taste Storm Wines and to enjoy Pony Espressosyv tacos!!! This was a tasty, delightful experience for all of us. The three Storm wines we had with our tacos were perfect!!! All of our wines went very well with the three types of tacos: Tri-Tip, Veggie, and a super good Octopus. The tacos were so flavorful...just simply outstanding!!! Thank you forvlwttingbus mix and match three tacos types. We are following you Pony Espressosyv and look forward to more of your outstandingly casual cuisine. Thankbyou. 💜❤💜❤

High quality ingredients, yet execution is lacking. Had breakfast tacos. Avocado, egg, potato, and meat all together in a tortilla. The problem is with two high water content items like the avocado and tomato you need seasoning if not just plain salt to bring out their flavors; another thought would be to crisp the tortilla over open flame to provide mouth feel and a counter to the creaminess of the tomato/avocado. Otherwise, it's just bland and a bit mushy.

Superb coffee and breakfast dishes. I must point out that their ice cubes are made with coffee for iced drinks. Melted ice cubes do not dilute your coffee here. Nice touch! 😜

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