“ The new atmosphere and ambiance at Pony Cocktail and Kitchen are incredible! Great service, food, and cocktails. Alberto and Chef Jonny have outdone themselves. So fortunate to have yet another upscale sophisticated restaurant right here in Santa Ynez. ”
“ Pony just completed a remodel and re-do of their menu. The remodel is excellent! I mostly get the BECA, which I highly recommend. Today, they had a ham and cheese croissant sandwich that looked amazing! I added avocado to it, and it was wonderful! I have not had their new cocktails yet, but we are planning on visiting in January for food and drinks. ”
“ 1st timer. Business trip. Was looking for a spot that had great food and DECAF espresso & quick! Se habla espanol. Did not disappoint! What a sweet spot on an ole Western street drinking coffee with the local ranchers, businessman, moms, and cowboys. Soak up the ambiance, smell the homemade freshly baked chocolate croissants, and take in the artwork. ”
“ I have to admit I mourned the loss of the “ coffee shop” atmosphere at first but the new expanded hours and menu ( breakfast, lunch AND Dinner!) have more than made up for it. Service is always friendly and attentive. Food is amazing and not the same fare you get at dozens of other places. Lots of creative cocktails to choose from! Kudos to Alberto and the chef! They welcome your canine companion in the outdoor patio-which has great heaters for the cool evenings. Highly recommend. ”
“ Great breakfast and a tasty coffee! Can't go wrong! ”
“ 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! ”
