16 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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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 !!“

“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!“
