“Good lighting, lots of space, comfortable outdoor area. It’s exactly what you would expect from a chain coffee shop. Plenty of people quietly tapping away at laptops. The single stall bathrooms are clean and locked with a code. Years ago when this was a Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf the Santa Barbara Go Club met here weekly. They may still do so.“
“Had a wonderful experience here! The barista Sarah was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond in making our drinks. She really added the Christmas spirit to them. We really appreciate people like her who make such a positive impact with the small things.“
“Stuff is just amazing ! they have been super helpful 🫶🏻 we met with Denise, i accidentally dropped my coffee and she was very generously cleaned my table and made a new one for me. i had a great experience here, with environment, cleaneness and more than important all, very friendly and helpful approach
thank you for your great service Dear Denise, and all of you as well ❤️“
“Stopped by for a quick coffee and bite—everything was spot on.
The coffee was rich and smooth, the food came out fresh, and the service was fast and polite.
Even though it’s a drive-through, it’s well organized and efficient.
Great place for a reliable and satisfying stop.“
“The best Starbuck in Santa Barbara.Everything went perfectly the several times I went to that shop.The order was taken without spelling my name and served quickly. The staff were very welcoming and so kind, and kept me coming back, with a special mention for Nick, the first member of staff I spoke to.I recommend this Starbuck's“
“This is definitely a “local neighborhood” Starbucks, serving the Mesa. While this is not the most fancy Starbucks out there, I appreciate that the store is always clean and the service is always excellent. They always get my order correct, and I never have to wait longer than expected regardless of how busy it is. Of course, it’s Starbucks so taste and quality are consistent with other locations.
Parking: Free parking lot for shopping center patrons. Can be busy but you can usually find a spot pretty easily.“
“Great coffee! However, the barista didn’t wash their hands before making my drink from being on their phone. They just wet their fingers for a second and put their hand on the sippy cup where I would be drinking from and ended up getting sick right after. Please wash hands fully with soap or at least wear gloves. ?“
“Nice people behind the counter. The young lady helped me decide on another drink when the first one I wanted was only made cold. My coffee was made quickly. I stayed while and wrote postcards to my friends. Nice music over the airwaves to keep me relaxed. A peaceful atmosphere when you need little break from a busy day. I will return when I'm in the neighborhood.“
“Girls who worked on the shift on 19th of July 2025 YOU ARE THE BEST!!! PERFECT CARAMEL MACCHIATO AND ICE VANILLA LATTE!!! SO NICE AND POLITE AND NICE PEOPLE ❤️😭
P.S. we were driving from Redding (further than Sacramento) to San Diego and just stopped for the coffee there because it was open and it was the best coffee from Starbucks ever!!! GOD BLESS YOU!!! YOY DESERVE HAVING YOUR OWN COFFEESHOP!“
“Starbucks La Combre is a cozy tall seat cafe in Santa Barbara. The baristas are amazing and kind hearted and I had a great discussion with them while my coffee was prepared about the other services I heard about first time, so I am also giving a hint to your events!
This cafe has a lot of beautiful mugs for instance for parties and great coffees for events.
Believe me, people want to have coffee even after the dinner with the dessert. In the events where the event order hasn't contained coffee with dessert after the dinner has been improvising from something out of nothing so it is better to br prepared.
Starbucks coffee beans can be ordered in so called travelers boxes, where fresh brewed beans are delivered to events or even for an office for summer time picnic, get together, brainstorming event, private luxury buses with espresso machines etc., so your event team do not have to brew the coffee onsite.
People do love coffee and high quality coffee is indeed one of the high lights with any event dessert.
The mug prices pays itself back as the coffee when you "bring your own mug" has a discount for the coffee in most of the places.
With Love,
Joanna“
