they have great beans (not super light/florally) but mid espresso drinks. definitely a nice shop to sit at and work. compared to the rest of SB coffee they are the same price, but with all low quality milks/none organic.

Lovely place for lunch or a snack. Located 6100 Hollister, Ste B in Goleta. Delicious libations of coffee, tea, and speciality drinks. Delightful food for the eye and the palate.Lots of places to sit inside and outside.The staff, they are AWESOME! I somehow forgot my purse, they immediately grabbed it and put it behind the counter to wait for me to return.Wheelchair access parking, seating, and entrance.Lots of parking in a free lot or on the street.No high-chairs.It's clean and a wonderful place to relax. The wifi password is on your receipt.Enjoy!

A hidden gem in Goleta-if you’re looking for a fantastic coffee, great service, and really good fresh food with a BoHo chic atmosphere – this is it.
Raspberry Oat Milk Matcha Latte was sooo good. Little pricey but decent

With middle of the road coffee and poor customer service, won’t be returning. Great atmosphere and vibes nonetheless.Coffee okay, espresso machine was down for 10 minutes- things happen. But coffee middle of the road- not bad, not great.Customer service was rude- they wrote the wrong name down for our order, we didn’t come to the counter when the wrong ticket name was called, then proceeded to get mad at us for not coming to the counter.

My daughter and I toured UC Santa Barbara and stopped here on our way out of town, it was possibly the best coffee I've ever had. I enjoy espresso drinks and enjoy trying different cafes while on vacation and this drink will be the one to beat, knocking out the iced espresso I had in Costa Rica 8 years ago. I had an iced chai oat cortado and not only was it expertly made, but the coffee was smooth, flavorful and the star of the drink.

A great find-clean and everything on menu is well thought out and well prepared! The triple berry scone was delicious and so was the poppyseed twist. The Iced Matcha w/o sugar syrup per my request was great and the coffee superb. Quirky road trip stop and will return!

I'm so happy that Dean is here! In my opinion, it's the only good place to get coffee and espresso in Goleta. Their cappuccinos are solid. Their regular coffee, even just black, tastes delicious. My most favorite place in Santa Barbara is downtown, but when I don't want to go all the way downtown, Dean is the best in Goleta.
Came in to study on my birthday and ordered the matcha with lavender and a jalapeño bagel with cream cheese. Not only did my bagel come with two bottoms and no jalapeño (should've just ordered a plain bagel), the bagel itself was so thick and cakey that i couldn't eat it. i got confronted by an employee for having a bite of my snack that I brought inside the establishment because i had low blood sugar, which wasn't an excuse according to the employee (maybe manager). Definitely not coming back here-- place sucks anyways since they don't have any outlets and i can't charge my devices with the portable charger that they offer

looked like a great study spot! i got the brown sugar oat latte which i'd rate 4/5. decent but a bit expensive they have a parking lot out in the back but also street parking available if the lot fills

Great coffee! Great customer service! Large outdoor space! I will be back! Next time I want to try the breakfast burrito.

It's in sort of a weird, industrial part of town, but is a very nice, modern airy space. The people working there were super nice. As for my latte, it was a bit bitter and watery. Not terrible, but wouldn't go out of my way to get it.

Nice spot with great drinks and food options. Right near the airport but the atmosphere was still really nice with inside and outside seating. Service great too!
