It's also a little disappointing that they don't have DoorDash available. The milk tea itself was decent, but nothing too special or memorable. I also tried the salted foam, but unfortunately it wasn't very good. Overall, it's an average spot--fine if you're nearby, but not something I would go out of my way for.

The staff worked their butts off but ultimately if felt like a third person or some better organization would help them out. But the reason we were here was ice cream and that was just kind of middle of the road. We didn't do all the fancy stuff and just for scoops so maybe we can try that next time (churros and ice cream looked bomb), but again the ice cream was just kind "meh".all the menu options they had were more interesting than something like baskin robbins but the ice cream was just one tick below in my opinion, and again not that it should be in the same category, but it wasn't as good as Roris. If I'm eating ice cream, I'd prefer to spend the extra and get the best.

After one sip I understood why she loved this place. I ordered their Green tea and We chose a strawberry one for hubs. Thick, totally yummy between a shake and a smoothie. Best matcha drink I've ever had. We sat behind one of the farmers market booths to thoroughly enjoy our delicious smoothies. Beautiful day- the sky, view, and the incredible tasty smoothie. Thanks Doc.

I'd rather have coffee or milk tea something along those lines. So I didn't have high expectations for this place at all but begrudgingly came along. LITTLE DID I KNOW!! Apparently I've only had terrible smoothies all my life because HELLOOOOO THESE ARE DELICIOUS WHAT THE HELL. And so cheap?? $5.75 for a small and $7.50 for a large IN THIS ECONOMY?-? With fresh fruit and a FREE supplement of my choosing??? Sign me up !!!! I tried the blue banana (blueberry banana) and purple banana (blueberry + strawberry banana) and both were amazinggggg!! Strawberry blueberry has a more tart flavor, I'm biased towards the plain blueberry banana. It's thick, smooth, creamy, everything I've ever wanted in a smoothie but apparently haven't gotten before. We got one with the total multivitamin and one with the probiotic. Free supplement is insane I can't believe they're so generous. Will definitely come back the next time I'm in SB!! I've been converted.

Phresh Tea is own by the same owners of Uniboil. We've been going there last 3 months in a row when…read morewe visit Goleta. Their variety of tea is excellent and refreshing. We enjoy it so much, we always go back on the day we leave Goleta and get 1 or 2 per person for the road. Their service is very quick and do try their best to get their drinks and small snacks for their customers. We love their Taiwanese popcorn chicken, fried milk, fried tofu are our absolute favorite. They do need to update their pricing on their board, most drinks are in the mid &5-$6 range before any popping boboa are added. 5* for this joint, we would go there when we visit Goleta.

Mind you I can still see customers in the store hanging out but they didn't wanna make 2 extra drinks I guess. Back then, they used to be so accommodating to customers but I can see that service has clearly gotten way worse now. They also love closing on random days without notice.

Nikka Japanese Market is truly a gem in Goleta and the surrounding Santa Barbara area. A perfect,…read morecute shop featuring groceries and other Japanese goods, it is magical! I must mention their prices are also super fair and you can get a great deal on high quality items!! I am not from here, but I am a frequent visitor. I have always had a difficult time sourcing Asian grocery items until I discovered this spot. Their store holds so many surprises within its aisles. From dozens of varieties of soy sauce to specialty frozen foods and ceremonial fruits, Nikka has it all! I was looking for ingredients to make Lu Rou fan, a Taiwanese traditional braised pork, and was struggling to find the ingredients elsewhere. I came in looking for 2 types of soy sauce, shiitake mushrooms, and vegetables. They had it all! A very wonderful, kind woman assisted me and pointed me to exactly what I needed. We also had a sweet conversation about taiyaki, which I was also able to buy from here. I'm so sad I didn't get her name! If you are reading this, thank you for the help!! I have been back a few times since my first visit and each time I go it is awesome! If you are looking for specialty items or just want a new place to get groceries, stop here!!! :)

Delicious drinks and baked goods! Friendly and very sufficient staff!…read more Kin Bakeshop has become my must visit and the main place I look forward to whenever we make a trip to Santa Barbara. Their drinks are addictedly delicious! I have tried several different ones from espresso, latte, to matcha and non-caffeinated drinks. Each one has been consistently great. 2 stars Due to their popularity, there's always almost a line out the door. However, if you follow them on IG, they do post update stories throughout the day about quantity status and how long the wait would be. They're pretty efficient, so even with a long line, I've never waited more than 20-30mins. 1 star The store is not meant for a sit down and hang out or study spot, but big enough to fit a good number of customers waiting around for drinks. 1 star They don't offer latte art or even hot drink, but ALL of their cold drinks and baked good are more than enough to make up for that! 1 star Really wish they'll start expanding soon. Central Coast can really use a great Asian coffee/bakery. As for now, I'll just have to drive down to Santa Barbara once or twice a month to get my Kin fix! This is the breakdown of my rating for coffee shops: Quality of coffee/drinks/food: up to 2 stars Consistently offer latte art: 1 Star Atmosphere: 1 Star Customer service: 1 Star

I was able to get to Kin in the morning and they had all of their sweets available so of course I had to splurge and try multiple ones. Their coco Jasmine marscapone was a surprise standout. It was incredible! Their Dubai banana was also really yummy. And finally, who doesn't love chocolate cherry anything? I love how they're all really fresh tasting and not overly sweet. I also tried their strawberry rose matcha and it was amazing! My husband got the pistachio cream topped espresso and he really enjoyed it. Service was quick despite the already out the door line.
