Handlebar Coffee Roasters

It is a great place for a coffee break, meeting a friend, or working online on your projects.
I love that they have a Golden Milk drink 😁

Now the second time within a month that I’m trying to pass by and it’s closed! I believe they’re closed for good.

I stopped by the other day for a matcha to-go and unfortunately was very disappointed. It tasted mostly like milk, with barely any matcha flavor at all. For the price, it felt quite expensive for what was essentially a cup of milk and water. I would encourage you to revisit your matcha recipe — those of us who regularly drink matcha can definitely tell when it’s lacking. I hope this feedback helps improve the experience.

Fussy and fancy people; lots of tiny dogs on laps of ladies with big hats and beige clothing. Not my cup of tea. My black coffee was very good, however.

This is the spot for coffee, drinks (cold and hot), and delicious treats! Everything was top notch and you can tell they use all high quality ingredients and know how to make drinks.
Lots of seating inside and outside with parking, although currently (mid November 2025) there is some construction on the street right outside so it may cause a little traffic, but still enoflow to visit here. The almond croissant was one of the best I have had, seriously.
Very nice atmosphere, vibe, and relaxing, great spot for a break and to relax and have greqt drinks and some snacks.

Love this classic Santa Barbara coffee shop. Love the industrial but airy vibe of this location. The parking can be a bit tight, prices are typical of boutique coffee shops in SB, and the baristas can be a bit snooty. But I kind of want all of that :) Coz their coffee is truly excellent.

Another solid option for coffee in Santa Barbara! Although the coffee wasn't anything crazy special, and I understand they have their own coffee and brew, but again, it's not a bad option! I typically go with the Chai or the Cold drip, and it's always great! The inside ambiance and outside patio are the best thing about this location. Great vibes and great music! The outside patio is super cool and great view of De La Vina and the Santa Barbara beauty!
Service is always so sweet and welcoming every time I go. They are always laughing and having a great time and love to see it even during the busy rush.
Update - I would not recommend their match as it is very watered down and not great. Kind of bummed honestly.

Amazing Place to Visit

This huge space is popular with cyclists of all kinds (hence the name). I had the best cortado of the year here, and a return visit confirmed their skills and quality. Unreservedly recommended.

It's a hive mind mentality as to how people have been tricked into thinking this place is any good
