12 Best Coffee Shops in Goleta

“We love Green Star Coffee! We order pouches of their delicious Ethiopian Yirgacheffe every eight weeks or so. Our online orders are fulfilled efficiently and without delay. These beans are roasted to perfection and the price/value can't be beat even with the small delivery charge. Plus, we feel good supporting a locally owned business - and don't see ourselves buying a bag of beans in the supermarket or at any of the large coffee chains ever again.“

“Great coffee and a fun venue.“

“The coffee is very good although sometimes it is not as hot as I would like. The atmosphere is decent, sometimes you get people having a loud zoom meeting with no headphones on which isn't really dune's fault but it can be obnoxious. Judging on flavor alone it's probably my favorite coffee around.“

“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.“

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

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

“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.“

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

“Amazing breakfast sandwich, great coffee and friendly service. I was in town staying nearby and came here every morning for breakfast and coffee (hotel breakfast was easy to skip). The service here is so friendly, prices are reasonable, food is truly great, and the space has lots of indoor and outdoor seating for individual or a communal table. Thanks Lighthouse team!“

“What a genuinely AMAZING experience. The service was top notch, timely, welcoming and HOLY COW was the food good. We had the D-Dawg, slice of Hawaiian, and a slice of Combo pizza. Great portion size, plenty of toppings, and all freshly made. Plus they're open late for those late-night cravings. Definitely give them a go! 10/10“

“I had wonderful customer service from all 3 baristas working today (Saturday)! Just wanted to give them props. I had 2 drinks added to a drive-up target order, and one drink was accidentally made iced instead of hot. Not a big deal. I went in to ask for a hot one (it was for my son). They were SO kind about it, and they even threw in a banana bread for him to apologize! They were lovely.“

“We live in the neighborhood closest to this Lighthouse location and the baristas here are just the best. I bring my kids and dog all the time to have breakfast on the patio and they are so sweet. The cucumber toast and breakfast sandwiches are excellent and my young kids get to practice putting their order in by themselves with patient, kind baristas.“
