October 2023

When you enter the glorious vista that is Santa Barbara airport, you expect to see the finest of teas, coffees, potions and lotions. You can imagine my surprise when I discovered a little hole in the wall, a cheateu de la hole (if you will). I was shocked to my very core to discover this boiler of the bitter bean is a chain. Bravo, the coffee bean and tea leaf, you have redefined the breakfast sandwich, leaving me only to wonder: "could this be more damp?" The service was acceptable.

The Santa Barbara airport offers very little options for coffee and Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf is the only dedicated coffee spot. I can always get what I want, though, and their staff are friendly. Most recently I asked if they could fill my reusable water bottle and they did, as well as filled it with ice! It was great to not have to go buy a water bottle. They have some food items. Just be forewarned, the line can get super long early in the morning.

Arrive early if you want morning coffee. SBA may be a small airport but we have six flights go out between 5:15 and 6:30am on a typical morning so it gets busy. Other times it's a great experience when it's open (they've been closing during the day sometimes due to staff shortages)P.S. please be nice to the staff, it can't be easy making coffee for hundreds of cranky morning travelers in two hours
