Pony Expresso

The coffee shop that started it all in Ridgecrest. The double sided drive through keeps each made-to-order coffee flow'n. Awesome staff as well. Certainly ranks high on my great Ridgecrest Businesses list

Amazing coffee! If you’re in ridgecrest, skip the chain establishments and check them out. The pony espresso is their signature drink and it’s a coffee milkshake with coffee whip cream. It’s one of the best things I’ve ever drank, coffee or otherwise.

Man I'm loving them more and more each time I go! Their frapps are so yummy! I always get white mocha frapp with caramel drizzle! DE-licioso!

Fast honest ,quality service . The girls here are most of the time nice and happy . Thier is one girl that comes off as a bit of a ditts and a grump and she allmost allways over flavors soda drinks , but the reality is they are a hand full of cute girls that allways give you a smile and the menu is filled to the brim of good choices . And I MY SELF. Have had custome drinks made . Next time you go ask for a peach , fruit cream shake with dry cinnamon, i call this the Peach Pie , hands down my favorit .

Great Customer Service With Friendly Staff Members Working There And Drinks Were Delicious.!!!

Friendly staff Quick Service

Friendly staff and delicious coffee! Love that there is two lines lol. I highly recommend it!

Good Coffee ☕😀, Friendly Staff, Quick Service.

Had the white chocolate mocha, it extremely tasty and sweet. Staff was friendly and quick. Kids said hot chocolate was good.

Best place in town for a great tasting coffee, smoothie, muffin, oatmeal, soup and more.

Pony Espresso is the best! This time we both ordered iced Caramel Macchiatos. They have the perfect blend of cream and coffee! There was a little line in the drive thru but we didn't wait too long. The drinks came very quickly and were so delicious.

I work extremely long hours and good coffee is important to keep me going. Literally the best coffee in Ridgecrest in my opinion. They blend it so perfectly it’s like I’m drinking coffee clouds from the sky. All of the girls are so kind and patient but still fast and do their job so well. I never do reviews but today I felt they need to know how great they are. Thank you.

Just discovered this place after being a resident of Ridgecrest for 3 years, wished I had known about them before. Coffee is great, cheap, and MUCH better than a certain other coffee chain. Recommend the White Chocolate Mocha!

Great local spot for coffee, snacks and specialty drinks. Convenient drive-thru in both directions. Service is always friendly and prompt. Prices as on par or better than other coffee shops in the area. I like the blended chai with extra espresso, pony espresso blended drink with extra espresso and our dog LOVES the pup cups. They also have deals on Tues/Wed.

I haven't tried everything here yet, but so far they rank better than Starbuck's for me. Caramel Frappuccino's actually have coffee in them, unlike Starbuck's! Prices lower than Sbuck's too 👍

Love this place and the espresso shot in my vanilla shake. Good quality.

Love this place. The staff is always friendly and attentive. Drinks are very good and they always have everything I want available. Line moves quickly if there even is one. 👍🏼

Very friendly service. Our pup got a treat. I was disappointed by dutch bros so decided to give this place a try for more robust coffee flavor but was not quite strong enough. Had a cappuccino but maybe try espresso shots or Americano next time.

1st time, line was full but went through pretty fast, service was great and drink was amazing. Gun powder tea with peach flavor was so good!

Love this local coffee shop! Fair prices, quick, and kind service. Peach tea and iced white chocolate mocha are my favorite go to drinks. They do have a cute sitting area as well.

Best coffee in town at a reasonable price.

They have great coffee, the service seems quick and nice. Only problem I have is that I get over charged for coffee. One day I go and it's $6, next day I get the same thing but it's $8. Not a fan of being told what to tip, but I'm also not a fan of not tipping. 🤷‍♀️ Just kind of puts a bad flavor in my mouth on going there, even though the coffee is good. -update: they finally changed the prices on the board. So I give them 5 stars now.

Pulled up early Saturday morning and ordered three different items including a coffee drink with milk. Cheerful attendant came to car since a van was ahead of me, took order, and made everything perfectly and coffee was great. I would stop here again anytime.

Love the sugar free ice blended mocha option. The chocolate whipped cream is delicious. I was pleased today to be helped by Shyenne, she was super cheerful and friendly. Great customer service. Very welcoming. Looking foward to my next visit.

Sign was cute and it had a long line at 4pm so we thought it was a local fave ... The next day we got breve, coffee, 2 bagels (ordered 3 but ... See below), chai tea latte, and an Americano. It was yummy but ... They sold our asiago bagel to someone who came thru the drive thru after we had ordered!! Only gave us 1 of the 2 bagels I ordered and just shrugged it off "oh, yeah we're out of those now". Girl didn't ask if I wanted a different bagel or nothing. The 1 jalapeno bagel we did get was so greasy it soaked through the bag and stained my car seat. My bf said it was yummy but really oily. The service was 2 stars. Drinks 5 stars. Food 5 stars for taste ... So, I guess 4 stars.

I absolutely love their fruit smoothies!! They are so good. Lately every time I purchase them though they seem pretty bland. I’m not sure what the change up is about but I’m hoping it was just a busy week and things will be back to normal soon. Always friendly service and usually very quick from order time to getting your order. Always helpful when you have questions and they are even pretty good when it comes to recommending certain drinks based on your preferences. Overall it’s a great place to stop and order some amazing drinks!! Don’t forget your punch card so you can earn a discount after so many purchases!

Burnt bagel for $2, a great deal!! Smile and service not included.

I love the drinks here but it seems like every time I go I get charged a different price. I have asked about it and basically get I don’t know this is the price. Their prices are outrageous too.

Usually great but this morning they made me a bagel with cream cheese and didnt tell me they were out of cre cheese until after I got it and checked. They were hoping i wouldnt check

I love the Pony Espresso drink, and buy it fairly frequently. However, everytime it's a different price than what is advertised on the menu board. Feels like false advertising, and needs to be consistent.

Look the drinks are good don't get me wrong, but my milkshake tasted like it had soap in it, and then it sat on the counter, because I wasn't about to drink that, and it melted and it got foamy and smelled like soap only bad experience I've had tbh, I'd rather write a review then take it back because a place that specifically sells drinks this shouldn't be a issue.

Taste was great but only had about 5 gulps of tea. Was just packed ice. $4.75 for mostly ice.

A hot Cold Brew? I have been to Pony Espresso many times and overall they serve good coffee. This is specifically about their Cold Brew. DO NOT order Cold Brew. I ordered a Cold Brew with light ice. My first sip SCREAMED burnt coffee, immediately indicating that it was a hot brew over ice. When I asked if it was a real Cold Brew, I was told, "It is. It's hot Cold Brew over ice." The coffee tasted burnt, very acidic, and lacked all flavor. If you want a Cold Brew, find ANYWHERE else, or just get water. Very disappointed.

didnt know if we caught them on a bad day or what but we spent $20 here and were so so disappointed. I emphasized I wanted super light half and half and I couldnt even taste my coffee through the half and half. My husbands drink had more carmel than drink in it. He went to open the cream cheese for his bagel and it was already halfway open and crusty! man. Such a rough start to our already crazy hectic day.

Americano was so watery... It tastes like they reused the coffee grounds. Sorry guys, it's a nice place with quick service, I just cannot recommend the coffee.

My experience with Pony was terrible. Their portashields weren’t clean so I recieved a large coffee with almost a quarter inch of coffee grounds at the bottom of my cup. On top of that, the service took forever and I was second in line.

Drove off without ordering because it's been 6 months and they are still not complying with the mask mandate. Telling all my friends and family to avoid them, as they clearly do not care about the health & safety of their community.

The coffee is good but they have contaminated me twice, I order almond milk and pay for it. They have forgotten twice and I was up all night sick… plus they don’t use wrapped straws which is a health code violation and disgusting. They touch credit cards and cash, don’t wash their hands then grab an unwrapped straw and put it in your drink. Yuck… and that has happened every single time I’ve ever been there which is a lot. DONE!

I paid for two large salted caramel drinks and they gave up medium and when I went back to get my large she said do you want a refund and keep those and I said no I want what I paid for and when we got our larges and left they were just normal caramel coffee not the salted caramel so we still didn’t get what we paid for that’s not okay. I went the day before and I got a large salted caramel so I know what the salted caramel taste like and this is definitely not it.
