14 Best Coffee Shops in Goleta

“Professional place. Been a barista in Kauai for 5 years at a cafe where you get to know the source/ roaster and it inspired me to always try roasters in west coast. So far this place wins for price and quality. Tried many places between Seattle and SD. So far only tried the lightest and the Italian. But wow.Bean is obviously freshly roasted with consistent color and size throughout (no pieces). They have a wide variety of high quality ORGANIC and FRESH ROASTED coffee at a killer price. Highly recommend, it beats my local goto place where many swear by them. Will return.“

“Great coffee and a fun venue.“

“Such a chill place to get coffee (best in town) and work. Amazing food and even more amazing people ❤️“

“This place is awesome. All the Dune's are awesome really. Can't go wrong at any of them. In my experience, this Dune has the most "interpersonal" customer service. For example, they have consistently asked about my day, etc., or made small talk that goes a bit beyond the basic kindness you'd get at any of the other Dune's. Basic kindness, as in, they are really friendly there, either way, during your transaction, but this Dune seems to do a little extra with customer interactions. The coffee (what I usually order; e.g. lattes) are excellent.“

“10 de 10, me encanta el pan y el servicio, Lore es la mejor“

“Iced, oat milk matcha is delicious! And the goats on Date sourdough toast hits the spot! Sweet and savory with just the right about of kick.“

“Very clean, no waiting in line. There was 2 very friendly girl when I was there. “Shockingly” they got the order right (other Starbucks 98% mistakes in LA) since I ask my coffee kids temp + whipped cream (I know not that difficult) I was super lucky 🍀 they still had my favorite seasonal the chestnuts praline. 😍 I went in thinking it will be 5-10min and actually I was just in and out in no time with the perfect coffee ☕️ thank you 🙏🏼“

“The cafe has the usual selection for a coffee and tea spot. I had a smooth "iced chai latte with oat milk."

As a plus, they use biodegradable straws and the service was friendly. Not too many seats for dine-in though.“

“We were looking for coffee and breakfast to go. The staff consisted of two lovely UC Santa Barbara students. The espresso and cappuccinos were wonderful, and they agreed to put smoked salmon on their toast with cream cheese, cucumber, and dill, which was delicious. It fully not our needs. The place is clean and while lighted. You can’t go wrong.“

“All they had was pizza slices - which were good! But not sure if they recently stopped with the larger variety of food.Edit - Owner reached out and said they are dealing with permitting and construction projects. They expect to have a full menu again come Summer '24. There was no information about this anywhere so hopefully this saves someone a trip.“

“The baristas strive to remember your name and drink. They provide "extras" and seem to enjoy their work. I feel like it is "home."“

“The food was great! We were a little reluctant because it was an order at the counter, but this place did not disappoint. Bacon was the best my husband ever tasted. I had the Hi-protien scramble, and eggs never tasted so good, and let me tell ya, the scones are to die for. I'm from So Cal but will come here again!“

“The food was pretty good. I had the Poke Theory bowl. It had good flavor and the bowls are about the right size for the price. The only issue I had was that the food had a lot of water in the bowl and so I felt it washed away some of the flavor. I also had the Galaxy Lemonade. It was really good and worth the try. Parking is limited. The seating is sort of small and only 5-7 tables in side. The owners are friendly and nice.“

“I came here during the weekday, and it was empty. I felt awkward but good at the same time since it was quiet. It was yummy, should’ve gotten more ramen! Next time I’ll order more beef and customize it since I didn’t like some of the items in my pot 😭. But overall would come again and it was good!“
