The Java Station

Latte had an amazing froth to espresso/milk ratio, it tasted very rich. Espresso had a hazelnut flavor and was decently strong. Latte art was amazing (even though I messed it up by putting on the lid) - they have always done an amazing job with their art and fun designs. Highly recommended! Instagram: @roastin_reviews

Great place to work and grab a coffee or even read a book! The staff were super kind and had a great number of selections for tea as well. The blender I got was not overly sweet, which I appreciated a lot. I do believe you can make it sweeter by request if you are a sweet tooth 😋 Overall I had a great experience! A very supportive community!

Super friendly staff. Peach basil burrata scone looks amazing. Lots of space to sit, work, chill. Enjoyed my latte!

Great local independent coffee house serving up delicious continental breakfast fare in a large unassuming space. The staff are warm and friendly and go out of their way to make each customer feel like part of their family. In typical independent fashion, the walls are adorned with paintings for sale from local artists, and the bachelor pad style furnishings are an eclectic mix of indoor and outdoor furniture plus whatever was available at local garage sales.

I adore Java Station! Whenever I'm in Santa Barbara I always stop in at least once and they never disappoint. Perfect lattes and one of the best bagels with schmear I've ever had. Lovely and eclectic decor makes every visit new and welcoming. Service is always gracious and kind. I wish we had a Java Station in Woodland Hills ~ I'd be there every day!

I moved out here 2 years ago and I was sad to not see Klatch coffee very understandable btw but when I tell you I ran to Java Station for my Klatch coffee beans I RAAAAAAAANNNNNNNN!!!! Thank you Java Station for having Klatch coffee beans here in SB I love you so much for this and you now have a loyal customer! I can't express how happy I am to see Klatch out here! Oh staff was amazing too!

Wonderful atmosphere. Indoor and outdoor seating. Great espresso. Alternative milk choices. Fantastic avocado toast. Very friendly and helpful staff as well. Bike rack out front. Loved my oat latte.

Great black coffees and good selection of roasts. Free refills for for here cups. Really delicious bagel (pesto and Parmesan I think it was? The delicious cheesy looking one). Plus the pastry below. They have a nice outside seating area as well

What a gem! Friendly vibes as soon as we walked in the door, and great spot to really set up and get some work done. I loved the Santa Barbara melt, and the coffee was delicious too. Wish I had time to go back by on this trip!

A great find for a delicious latte in Santa Barbara. Great atmosphere for a coffee and some computer work. They have a great lunch menu with an amazing BLT!

This really sweet girl Issie recommended I go here and was telling me all about their coffee, how the beans are “cherry-picked” & they use Ghirardelli chocolate for their mochas. I immediately headed over here instead of Starbucks. Best mocha in town. Rich, robust chocolate and coffee flavor! Would opt for this place any day over any other coffee shop I’ve tried so far. Such sweet service too! I got my mocha double blended with oat milk. This pastry I got is also amazing. Highly recommend this place. Great hang-out or study ambiance too. Thanks so much!

My favourite cafe of all time!! I swear they make the best iced latte I’ve had in my entire life. Really pleasant outdoor seating, lovely staff, and generous portions ❤️

Love this place! Plenty of space outdoors and indoors, open late, LGBT friendly which is very important. Has great coffee and treats to eat. It's a bit more like the old school coffee shops which I love.

I like their arnold palmer and their blended coffee drinks, the drip coffee is good but not amazing. The service is fine though I on occasion have found them to be a little bit curt. The price you are charged can be slightly higher than what is printed on the menu. I don't mind paying more but I do think they should correct the displayed prices to reflect that. Overall it is a very nice coffee shop and I like going there.

I come here multiple times each week to work or as a treat before school with my daughter. I drink black coffee and enjoy the French roast. The bagels are toasted crispy on the edges, which is how I like them. I took a star off of the food review because (1) the breakfast burrito is tasty, but doesn’t have the feeling of a fresh, made-to-order meal and (2) I had a smoothie that still had 1/4 of a banana left at the bottom. The service is exceptional and caring. They make an extra effort to make coffee shop visits a special outing for my daughter and her interaction with them over the years has led to an increase in confidence and independence to wait in line and ask for help.

The atmosphere in this coffee place is amazing, from their unique decor to their back patio sitting. It seems to be very popular, I was craving coffee and an avocado toast, yes, for lunch. The coffee was amazing, the toast was OK, I was sad that 2 people that got there after me got their food before me. Also, they kept burning the bread, new employees??? Maybe. What I saw was that the employees lack focus and drive. But then it is typical around here. You are not in Kansas anymore, Dorothy. I do recommend coming here. I will definitely come back. Hopefully, next time, things will go better.

"I thoroughly enjoyed the delicious food and excellent customer service during my visit from LA to San Luis Obispo. However, I noticed that the restroom may benefit from some additional cleaning attention. I believe addressing this area could further enhance the overall experience for guests. Thank you for your attention to this matter."

The Tomatoes avocado 🥑 cream cheese bagel was delicious. The zucchini loaf was delicious. Coffee and latte expectations was not met.

Great coffee in a chill vibe place. The food has really tanked recently. I used to enjoy eating here but something has changed. The bread tastes like a bag of shty bread from the grocery store. Used to be fresh and chewy and delicious now it is insipid and bland. The service is average.

Coffee oatmilk latte with hazelnut meh.... Coffee blended goes down as the worst, in history. Service..... better at a JiffyLube and they don't care about customer service.

Asked for an iced latte, got a hot one. Ordered a basil ricotta scone that was labeled $3, got charged $6. Had a craving for avocado toast, got served the blandest avocado toast I’ve ever had with barely any avocado and some weird lemony chemical tasting salt on top. The bread left a lot to be desired, I’ve gotten better bread at Walmart. Not impressed.
