We love this place. Always a stop whenever we’re in Santa Barbara. Good food and you can easily order ahead of time online

I love their ice blended mochas and sandwiches! I only wish they were open later.

I really wanted to enjoy this place because it has a lovely outdoor patio, and it's so close to our home. However, their food always disappoints, service is never friendly, and they don't allow well-behaved, leashed dogs inside even if we just want to order and sit outside. This means we need an extra person to look after our dog outside, or we can't bring our dog if we're alone. The staff is always too busy to remember or care about their customers, and new workers take up to 10 minutes just to ring up orders, and often mess them up. I've never had a pleasant exchange with anyone behind the counter, and they don't even remember us after we've been there 10-15 times. My husband and I have decided that this place is not the neighborhood coffee shop vibe we're looking for. We recommend Handle Bar for better food and beverages, Live Oak Cafe for its proximity, and of course, there are many other coffee shops on State Street that allow well-behaved dogs on a leash inside. All of this is under the assumption that your dog, like ours, is well-behaved, of course!

Eh, this place is okay. Their black coffee was okay but the sandwich was bland (the local favorite). I think they should revamp this sandwich a bit to give it more flavor. I don't think I would be going back as it was expensive for what I got.

I'm glad I was hinted towards this absolute juwel of a cafe! The chocolate croissant paired with the Hawaii 5-0 smoothie is incredibly delicious and the best I've ever had in the US. But honestly, it's the staff that has me raving about the place: Awesome and very kind people! Strong recommendation if you're in SB!

Locals spot for coffee, smoothies, sandwiches, etc. Centrally located at Mission and De La Vina. Lots of outdoor tables to enjoy your time outdoors.Parking: They have maybe ten parking spaces on site, otherwise it’s a challenge to find parking on the street nearby.Kid-friendliness: Mellow environment that is welcoming for all ages.Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs - easily accessible for all.

Fun place, but the coffee isn’t very good. I can't really speak to the food or espresso drinks, but the coffee is really watery and missing flavor. They offer a wide variety of brews, but each that I've tried has been lacking. I've walked here a few times for its convenience and as a place to grab coffee with friends, but would not plan to go here if I just needed a cup of coffee.

My iced latte was the perfect balance of strong coffee and sweet vanilla. Great prices too!
