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.

Ordered: Gingersnap Latte (5/5) No extra charge for dairy substitution! Service was friendly but also efficient. Got my order quickly. The latte wasn't too sweet and creamy with just the right amount of ginger kick. No bitterness and smooth. The drink temperature was hot, but just cool enough to enjoy a big sip before getting back on the road. Surprising, the cup is also well insulated as it was still warm 30 mins later. Glad to have found a decent cup of coffee in the area on a quiet sunday.

I ordered the fruit loops, animal cracker, and chocolate chip pillow. Service was great and very friendly. Inside there is not much seating unless you arrive early as there are lots of college students inside but I wanted my donuts to go so it worked out. My favorite was animal cracker and chocolate chip pillow. Not overly sweet or too much chocolate flavor overpowering. I also ordered a hot cocoa and a strawberry matcha. The hot cocoa was delicious. The strawberry matcha I would pass on because the milk overpowered the matcha and the strawberry flavor was lacking as well. Highly recommend the donuts!

The basics are all there but they have so many speciality donuts and I wanted to try them all! Creme brûlée, spring themed donuts of various shapes and flavors, and other delicious concoctions. Since I was meeting up with family, I didn't hesitate to buy a dozen and have a donut tasting with the fam. Favorites - creme brulee donut, Boston creme (vanilla donut with creme inside and chocolate frosting), spring "nest" with coconut and creme inside, and the glazed twist (simple but light and fluffy with a vanilla touched glaze). Also, grabbed a coffee and it was good. Need to buy a bag to take home next time.
