11 Best Coffee Roasters in Santa Barbara

“For the best coffee in town that is tasty, doesn't give you acid reflux, smooth, and wakes you up come here. Great quality. I go here every time I am in town. You can sit outside in the beautiful courtyard drinking your strong, yet smooth coffee. I hope they stay here because it's a great place to wake up too.“

“Incredible well balanced coffee!!! 10-10“

“Consistently fantastic espresso and cappuccino at Handlebar - fairly close approximation to a French cafe, as people hang out here for hours on end. Outside patio (dogs allowed) - this is a legit SB locals place. Starbucks SUCKS! (Handlebar has a downtown location as well, but I prefer De La Vina).“

“Holy moly wow. We’ve been here 4-5 times and usually get an iced latte, which are excellent. Today they had specials on their board outside we decided to try. My husband got a iced raspberry mocha and I got an iced honey cinnamon latte. We both agreed they were the best flavored coffee drinks we’ve ever had. No syrup flavor, no powder flavor, they were absolutely incredible. We can’t wait for the next time we’re in town so we can try more flavors! P.S. the raspberry mocha tasted exactly like a raspberry truffle, SO good!“

“We came to visit here for our early afternoon snacks and ordered:

2x Espresso
1x Cinnamon Roll
Total: $14.16 with tips

Overall, we’re very pleased with the flavor of the coffee and cinnamon roll. The kick of the coffee, the bitterness, and the sourness are just what we've been looking for—the best espresso we've tried so far compared to many others. The cinnamon roll, we thought, was amazing, too—though it can be slightly sweet to our palette, other than that, we love it. However, it took some time to prepare our espresso for both when called; my husband had to wait another 2-3 minutes for the other one to prepare. We thought it was strange to wait that long given that they have many staff within that area, roughly 8 staff.

Other than that, it was a great experience with the coffee and pastry, and the ambiance was great, too.“

“👍Love the coffee from this company. I order it for my honey to have at home“

“Very friendly and open staff here; you'd never guess or feel like you're in Monticeto among the wealthy elites (which you are).The folks at Caffe Luxxe are so down to earth they even make friendly suggestions, since I'm no coffee connoisseur.And their Caffe Nico latte distinguishes them from other coffee shops, in Santa Barbara. This drink doesn't disappoint!“

“The breve lattes are 🔥 !!“
