Coral Tree Cafe Santa Barbara Reviews
Underrated and less crowded than the Arbor. Apparently they used to have amazing grilled cheese, but I haven't seen them selling grilled cheese since covid. They have some pretty good lunch options. They close earlier than expected, so make sure they're open if you're planning to stop by in the afternoon.
Delicious healthy food, great matcha & coffee, and amazing employees. They are the nicest and always doing thee most to get us through the day. They deserve a raise!!!
One of my favorite places in UCSB. I have had lunch several times here. My personal favorites are Fish Tacos and Fish&Chips.

Amazing food and drinks, good atmosphere and not expensive either!!! Really good service too! Would recommend<333
Literally the worst coffee that I've ever had- BUT- also the most caffeinated! I was literally hallucinating in my lecture in Campbell Hall after a small cup of the light roast. I love the convenience of Coral Tree Café when I need a quick pick-me-up between classes.
Best healthy eat on campus. Vegan and vegetarian options, too. Like this lunch bowl with quinoa, arugula, falafel, dates, hazelnuts, tahini. Amazing!!
The food is outstanding, the portions are great, and it should come out in about 5 minutes. Overall, I will definitely eat here again and the food is very good quality as well as very appetizing!
Not about coral tree cafe but there is a ups and fedex drop off right next to it
Love seeing all your smiling faces before classes!
The best on campus eating spot, such an ignored gem
Good food. Great customer service!
Great place, polite efficient staff
Such great stuff!
I absolutely loved this place during college and still daydream about their Arroz con Pollo bowl. Definitely the best option on campus for fresh, delicious and filling food. I recommend stopping by around 2:30, as its a little less busy than usual and you skip over the lunch rush.

I love this place I used to go here so much! It’s so healthy and fresh and the workers are really nice. Since it’s a campus restaurant, though, it gets crowded and the wait time is long but ohhhh sooo worth it.

A bit underrated honestly, sure their coffee isn't amazing but it's also a great value, it costs about half of what starbucks charges for their coffee. Inside seating is usually full but outside seating is fine. What I really liked was the breakfast burrito, I'll have to try more of their food menu to make a complete judgement but the burrito was pretty good.
Burgers are fine. Some rare Pokemon (i.e., Chansey, Squirtle) shows up around.
