21 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.“

“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“

“It’s hard to describe perfect. Everything from the extraordinary staff, to the comfortable atmosphere, to the perfectly prepared food was spot on. We are greatly appreciative for the work that goes into an operation like this.“

“My wife and I have been there 2 days in a row. We've ordered cold brew (great), a rose latte (good), and a honey lavender latte (really great).
Breakfast sandwich on sourdough was also great! And then this doughnut hit the spot. See you tomorrow morning!“

“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.“

“I ordered a dirty chai and it took about 15 minutes to get. There were only a handfiul of customers in the coffee shop and 3 baristas behind the counter preparing orders. There were several people that ordered after me that got their drinks before me. Lame.“

“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.“

“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."“

“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.“

“Great Place to Visit ,)“

“Busiest donut shop in the world ..full of college kids. I mean packed but very quiet. Very well behaved..to the owner probably best quality donuts ive ever tasted ! Not doughy and rubbery or greasy ..bursting with flavor ! I had the raised top shelf and the banana cream pie. Ate it the next afternoon. Tasted like just made unreal Flavor !!“

“The only decent boba in the SB / Goleta area. Only problem is its a little inconsistent but even with the inconsistency it is still better than other places around the area. The popcorn chicken is usually really good too though it can also be inconsistent with sometimes not enough seasoning or they leave out the fried basil. Overall still pretty good and have been here many times and definitely worth visiting!“

“I'm in the area for work and have been frequenting this Starbucks location for the past two weeks. The baristas are all very young, mostly like students of the nearby colleges, and just bursting with beautiful energy. I feel so welcome each time I enter the store, and it's not uncommon for all of the five or so baristas behind the counter to shout out a "hello" or "goodbye" as people enter and exit. They just exude good vibes. In particular, Preston is a stand out vibe booster. He's just so upbeat and engaging, and he always remembers me, so I just want to give a special shout out to him. Thanks to the whole team...management at this location seems to be doing something right :-) Good luck to all the baristas, wherever life takes you!!“

“GREAT service! Friendly and clean! Manager brought our food to our table. And it was HOT! Gotta love food served hot. We all know what “under the heat lamp food” tastes like. And this was NOT that!“

“This McDonald’s location is very close to the freeway with a drive-through and an outdoor patio.
It opens from 5am to 12 pm.

It looks like a new location or a grand opening. It is cozy and bright with unique features compared to other establishments.

I like all fast food restaurants Happy Meals. The food is great and more healthy. The prices are good with a variety of items.

The best and most important part is that I collected the toys and gave them to my friend’s kids.

I wonder if Uncle McDonald would be as happy as my friend’s child if he knew the impact of his creation.“
