50 Best Coffee Shops near Summerland

“Wonderful crew and excellent place to kick back and enjoy slowing down for a bit :-)“

“The lightest, buttery moist scones. They also had hamburgers and salads that looked were very generous portions. All was freshly made. The silverware was REAL silverware.“

“We stopped in for breakfast on our way up the coast of Cali. Everything we ate and drank was delicious. I ordered the Hibiscus cold brew, the carmelised onion and goat cheese quiche, and the banana bread. Not only is everything fresh and tasty- the ambience is amazing 🤩 I think I'd fly back out just to visit this cafe 🥰“

“Great coffee, can have a busy line but moves quickly. The grab and go items are great too, and the bottled juices even tho they are pretty expensive are solid.

I just wish the espresso came with the bubbly water back. I sort of expect that at a coffee shop of this caliber“

“My new favorite coffee shop!! Made from scratch flavors for lattes, made from scratch almond milk, amazing menu, staff and variety of exquisite drinks!. 💛“

“Pro tip: get there when they open and avoid the line which will go down the sidewalk! We were greeted by the manager while we waited for them to open and he thanked us all for coming. He is a great ambassador for the place and set the tone right off the bat. You order your food and drinks at the counter then grab a table. (Thats why you need to get there early so you have a choice. Otherwise, you get whatever opens up. If your party is bigger than 6 you have to sit separate).
The atmosphere is very clean and the food is fantastic. The outside garden area is really nice and has a fountain. If you can grab a window table inside you can people watch as people walk up and down the street onto Stearns Wharf.
Food. Wow! You can taste the quality as soon as you take a bite! We had the special green chili chilaquiles, the lemon poppy pancakes and coffee. Everything was delicious and cooked perfectly. Their coffee was very smooth, not bitter like a well-known coffee chain.
Overall, a great experience and I would recommend it to everyone!“

“Olivia is friendly and her friends barista unfortunately I don’t know her name but both of these ladies are great, professional and friendly
And interior design of coffee shop more than perfect 🤩
Thank you 😊 for great coffee“

“The girls that work at the Haley location in the AM are so nice! I so look forward to passing through on my way to work a few times a month. My friend from LA told me she comes through for the matcha latte when she's in town and it's now one of my faves. Not sweet! Which is what I like and they have a good variety of nutmilks, as well.“

“Very happy！！amazing！！👍👍👍“

“Went here after camping at El Capitan canyon for the weekend. Me and the missus were hankering for a good cup of joe after 2 days of instant.

The store was very clean and had a good vibe. Smaller indoor are but there was adequate indoor and outdoor seating. Only one barista / employee working there and he was apologetic about the wait but was extremely helpful.

I got 2 cups of pour over of their lightest roast. It was a bit too dark for my taste but smooth and not bitter at all. My oldest got the creme brulee latte and loved it.

The bacon avocado toast was the BEST! The toast, avocado, bacon, hard boiled egg and sauce was so delicious. I didn't want to share it with my partner it was so good. The breakfast sandwich with sausage was one of the best my youngest ever had apparently. He said it was better than a McDonald's cheeseburger and that WAS his favorite food of all time. Lol. He even asked when we'd be going back.

In summary. The coffee used was on the darker roast side and would probably have been better as an espresso/milk drink in my opinion. If you like darker roasts then this is the place for you. The food there was excellent and I especially recommend the avocado toast.“

“Super friendly staff here make wonderful espressos and Sunkist lattes. Despite the down vote and biblical verse quoting of another reviewer, the Mission supports this business and this business supports the Mission. The owner couldn't be more kind. It's so nice to go up and enjoy the Rose garden and get a coffee on a beautiful morning.“

“So sad to leave Santa Barbara but before I do I wanted to check out @shopbrunch . Got some chilaquiles with crunchy chips and an egg, cheese bacon sandwich with some aioli sauce I think 🤔 which was superb and a ton of avocado and a side of waffles. I like the atmosphere especially on a nice day like today and the hostess were super nice and friendly. Hopefully you can check them out.

“A rare gem in Santa Barbara. A friendly bar with billiards and a smoker's terrace. Very good beers and a charming atmosphere, a bit out of time. The staff is friendly and helpful. For a real change of scenery, it is a place not to be missed.“

“Iced caramel macchiato and a cheese danish“

“the savory everything bagel brioche donut and the sweet and savory maple bacon are to die for!“

“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!“

“wonderful family friendly neighborhood restaurant with great food, and always served with a smile. I would highly recommend to anyone for breakfast or lunch. Debbie also makes fabulous mimosas for breakfast. 😊“

“Fun refreshing dessert 🍨 lots of yummy flavors“

“I visited Lighthouse Coffee today and had their breakfast sandwich along with the cucumber toast. Both were delicious — the sandwich was hearty and satisfying, and the cucumber toast was fresh, crisp, and full of flavor. The ambience inside is warm and inviting, making it a nice spot to start the morning.

The coffee was good, though the flavor could be a bit more balanced to match how great the food is. Overall, a very pleasant experience and definitely a place I’d return to.“

“This location is a shining example of what’s possible when you have a stellar management team at the helm. While the entire team delivers consistently great service, the leadership deserves real credit for building such a strong, people-first culture. They’ve clearly hired a group of hardworking, personable individuals who genuinely care.

The other day, I watched the team respond instantly and compassionately when a disabled customer dropped their drink. There was no hesitation - just immediate action. A manager stepped in to reassure the customer while others quickly remade the drink and cleaned up the spill. It wasn’t just “good service” - it was good people doing the right thing. And this isn’t a one-off moment. I see this level of care all the time.

I used to manage a high-end retail store, and I would always tell my team: the difference between a great experience and a memorable one is you. Your positivity, compassion, and humanity matter more than any product or brand ever could.

I can go to any Starbucks - there are plenty - but I choose this one because of the people.“

“went in on my meal break while working in montecito wasn’t too hungry so I ordered a truffle which was good the pizza aroma smelled good eventually I’m sure will have a pizza from there but what I ordered was good enough for me 🙂“

“Amazing spot, delicious food and coffee!!💯“

“Seating needs updates since the vinyl bench is half ripped up. And there seems to help storage, so they have boxes, cases of beverages, and misc schtuff cluttering the place up. The entrance to behind the counter is about a foot wide that the workers have to squeeze thru when they go to front of house or behind the counter. Just weird layout, and a bit messy without being “gross”. Just strange for a business to be like this.“

“We went here for a quick break and had hot beverages. We’ve ordered Hot Chocolate and Hot Caffe Mocha.

I must say that when visiting Starbucks outlet very rare case to have both drinks achieve the quality taste that we want and this outlet did a great job and had pretty efficient and friendly staff. Great job!

Hubby and I enjoyed our hot drinks“

“We got takeout breakfast tacos. It’s in the Public Market but pretty much everything else in the market is closed in the mornings - so not much to comment on the atmosphere. The breakfast tacos were good and average size. We got the steak taco and a birria taco. They were good, only issue was the birria taco was extremely messy and hard to eat. This isn’t something you want with takeout and eating on the go. Relatively fast service but it is cooked to order so expect a bit of a wait.“

“Wow what a hidden gem! Really tasty, flavorful offerings and so affordable. I was impressed with the variety and quality. I got a half sushi tofu sandwich and a half turkey cranberry sandwich and was full for $8. Both dishes were really thoughtful and looked nice, too. I happen to live nearby and I will be stopping in frequently.“

“Love it. Matt is awesome - and entire staff“

“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“

“China Pavilion is hands down one of my favorite restaurants ever, and absolutely my favorite place to get dim sum. The food and tea are always delicious and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Everything is delicious, but some of my favorites are the shrimp and chive pies, Szechuan wontons, baked bbq pork buns, and egg custard buns“
