Wonderful place for morning coffee and friends. Good selection of rolls, bagels, good coffee selection fresh brewed.

I get my matcha powder at Vices & Spices and it's not only great quality, but it's a great price! They have lots of gift options if you're looking for something unique, and their tea and spice sections are both stocked very well. I've had their coffee once too and it was delicious!

The vibe is nice, but one of the workers accused me of not paying for my coffee when I already did. The coffee was so bad that I asked for an extra shout of vanilla. I asked to pay for a shot in both of my coffees the lady rung me up for a whole other coffee instead ($5) then proceeded to ask why I didn't pay for the other coffee. In a kind manner, I told her I did, and she gave me cash back. That's not acceptable. Seek to understand instead of assuming that's basic human rights. Please get a better barista she rude and makes terrible coffee.

Nice little shop that serves delicious coffee and has an eclectic collection of items that are really fun to check out! Easy to find a one of a kind item to accompany the coffee! From local made cards and jewlery to a wide selection of loose tea ans accessories! Definitely worth stopping by!

Quick service, nice staff, sometimes crowded. Lack of wifi, which I once considered a problem, is now a plus. No longer indoor seating, but a few tables in back.

I’m fairly new to Santa Barbara, 4 years. And I'm thankful to have found Vices & Spices. Each time I get wonderful and tasty recommendations for tea! I love getting my refills for my tea canisters there. It’s my go-to place to meet people for the first time. The staff there are always kind! It’s a win win for me!

Staff was not very friendly at all. We enjoyed the selection of looseleaf teas they had, but don't really feel welcomed to return. Which is a bummer, because we just moved here and were excited about a spice and tea shop nearby.
Great coffee. Especially the hazelnut blend. Highly recommended.

I was just passing by Santa Barbara in late July, this lovely place was just across the street from our motel. Loved everything about this little shop. The owner is such a beautiful person. My tea was prepared perfectly. Loved meeting you! Don't forget the cream teas!

The staff are very friendly. Don’t be afraid to ask them questions about their spices, teas, or how the buying process works. Just tell them you’re there for the first time. They can make you a hot or ice tea and you can buy the spices and teas to take home with you. You have to buy them in 1 ounce increments.

The actual shop is awesome. Great selection of coffee and teas plus jewelry, clothes, children's items, etc. Staff wasn't the friendliest but I'm probably a little ocd when it comes to customer service.
