Sublime spot in SB for coffee. Friendly staff and great drinks. Had the matcha strawberry latte and it was awesome. Wish we had them in Texas!

If you are in Santa Barbara, you gotta check them out. Great coffee, drip and espresso drinks. Great pastries, I enjoyed the morning bun

If you have any appreciation for high quality coffee and espresso, this is the finest you'll find in Santa Barbara. Very affordable for SB and they don't charge extra for nut milks, which is unheard of but probably how it should be? Support this lovely coffee shop if you're around town on a Saturday or Sunday!

If you're here in SB on a Saturday looking for a cute coffee shop, this is the place! Of all the coffee shops I've tried in SB, this one didn't cost me and arm and leg and they don't charge extra for alt milk. I got the matcha latte. I love the sustainable efforts and ethical supply chain. Support this local business! Matcha was delicious

Gabi and her team were everything we could have asked for. The venue was beautiful. There's a lot of space both an inside and outside for guests to mingle (we had about 45ish people). The service was excellent - no cup was ever empty and food was always present. The booking process was easy. Gabi responded to every question I had quickly. I would book again in a heartbeat.

Great coffee! Enjoyed chatting with Chris, the owner. He is very knowledgeable about coffee and also gave us some nice restaurant recommendations.

Absolute hidden gem of SB. You won’t find many baristas as passionate about the perfect Espresso as Chris. Highlight of the weekend and perfect post farmers market stop on a Saturday morning

First time here and really enjoyed it. We sat outside on a nice sunny warm Sunday. I got a cold brew and my friend got a custom-made tea Latte. He got some tea and made it into an almond milk Latte which was a special request but the batista was super willing to do it and it turned out great. I'd come back. The cold brew was super smooth and full of caffeine so ... hello anxiety!

Great place, good coffee and my go to Hong Kong waffle place. Very homey feel to this place, owner is very nice. Outdoor and indoor seating available and not to crowded yet, so take advantage for quiet work and study location now.

If I could give 10 stars I would. BEST.COFFEE.IN.SANTA.BARBRA. This sections is to let Yelp put on as a real review. They have great pastries, people are amazing, drinks are impeccable.
Best coffee in SB, hands down. The amount of love that husband-and-wife team Chris and Ashley put into this pop-up coffee spot Fri-Sun in Villa Wine Bar is something special. I used to be a vanilla latte kind of girl (which is delicious here) but Chris' skill at brewing and the quality of the Equator coffee they use has turned me into a non-sweetened cafe au lait sipper. Round 2 is usually their chai, which I can't seem to slowly sip because it's so darn good. The warm, local vibe Ash and Chris create in their charming shop I swear the Cheers theme song plays in my head every time I walk in. It's that kind of place where, beyond the stellar quality of everything they make, sometimes you just wanna go where everybody knows your name

Our fav local coffee shop! Good vibes, delicious coffee, super small and locally owned. Love that they use only fair trade and sustainable beans & make all their own syrups and infusions in house. Try the cocoa infused cold brew or the strawberry matcha latte!

Always an amazing experience ???

Finally got the chance to stop in recently and check out the newest coffee shop in town. Over everything else, there is something special about this place as it feels like time just stands still. Maybe it is because it is out of a wine bar it almost feels like a speakeasy coffee shop. Perfect spot on a quiet Saturday morning to come inside and find a bustling coffee shop off of state street. No one is in a hurry and everyone is happy, it almost felt all too natural to pick up this weeks print of the independent and read through the current local musings. While I do have to note the coffee is significantly more expensive than other places it was really good. Everything is done by hand in a made to order basis using exact temperature controlled water and precise grind sizes. You can always tell good people by the libation that they furnish. Whether it be a bottle of wine for dinner or a cup of coffee in the morning.
