    Dart Coffee Co is in such a great location super close to the beach, so we ended up just walking over. We parked in a nearby lot that was $7 for the whole day for the beach which felt pretty reasonable for the area. I got an iced latte, and while it wasn't anything super memorable or mind blowing, it was still a solid good coffee. Sometimes that's all you need. The staff was nice, and the drinks came out really fast. The inside is cute too, with some seating if you want to hang out for a bit, and I liked that they also sell coffee beans to take home, so of course I grabbed some for later. They also had some fancy chocolates inside, which was a fun little bonus to browse while waiting.

    Came to Dart coffee on a Saturday afternoon, place was hopping. It seems they're connected to a restaurant, there was a big open space with people sitting down and eating but not much in the way of seating for people just grabbing coffee from what I could tell and there was no place to sit outside either, which was the first bummer because I'm not a big grab a coffee and walk with it kind of girl. They had two brews available and they had the coffee in a carafe. I don't know why I hate being served coffee from a carafe but I do. She poured the coffee about 1/3 of the way, walked away, came back and said they were out of this roast and said she would finish me off with the other roast. I don't know, I didn't love that. Why not just pour me a fresh cup with the single brew that you actually did have. The coffee was very mediocre in my opinion. Just didn't love it or the place itself.

    Excellent drip (house) coffee. And they roast their own beans too. Stumbled across this place by accident, must be one of the most popular coffee houses in town cause there was a line 10 deep. Luv the open air design

    This place is worth the long line! The lattes were incredible and the food was amazing! We split a bagel and a breakfast burrito and both were outstanding. The vanilla latte was refreshing and delicious. The ambiance is fun and the restaurant is clean even though they are super busy. Thank you Dart Coffee!!

    Great coffee shop in the Funk Zone of Santa Barbara. It's a super little place, but they are fast and with great customer service. Ambiance is relaxed and it's more a grab and go place. They have a great variety of options of coffee, Iced Teas, plus some pastries, treats and empanadas. We ordered a Wild Edelberry Iced Tea, an Iced Matcha Latte and 2 Vegan Empanadas. Everything was delicious. Empanadas were freshly made and super tasty. Ceremonial Matcha was of a grade plus quality.

    Delicious coffee drinks and pastries are served here. Stopped by for a coffee break here driving home from Cambria. I had it saved in my bookmarks to try. I'm happy we did. The coffee was delicious. I got the Beach Brew and enjoyed every sip. My son's cortado was perfectly made. Customer service was friendly even though they were super busy. Great vibes here. Check them out if you are ever in Santa Barbara.

    On a weekend roadtrip to Santa Maria, stopped in Santa Barbara for a quick coffee and came across Dart Coffee Co. super friendly, trendy and quite the social watering hole! The staff were welcoming and friendly and the coffee was delicious!!

    Great little coffee shop in Santa Barbara! Highly recommend their Beach Brew. Right mix of creaminess, coffee taste, and flavor. Service was helpful in going over the menu and our coffee came out almost right away. Inside of the shop is really cool and I like how they decorated the ceiling with cool looking lights all over. Plenty of indoor seating, open air views with big windows. Worth a visit as you start your day off exploring SB!

    Beautiful location with lots of seating and fresh air. The coffee was top tier quality, and the empanadas were incredible. Highly recommend

    2.5 rounded up to 3 stars - Great customer service and aesthetic is on point. Our drinks however were awful. So so so watered down and we got whole milk . Friendly staff but nooooooo latte should be watered down. It's a latte. Milk . So ...Why!? Porque? Why the 3 and a one because ... the service was great , cute place and it's a local biz. I hope they see my review and work on the ratios for their drinks. Or was it an off day. Idk but i would not rush back .

    I came to Santa Barbara and, based on my friends' recommendation, decided to stop by this coffee shop. I'm so glad I did! Everyone was incredibly friendly, and the place itself is beautifully designed such a cozy and aesthetic vibe. They even have treats for dogs, which was such a nice surprise since I came with my two dogs, and they absolutely loved it. The coffee was amazing, and the atmosphere made the whole experience even better. I really like this place and would definitely come back!

    Loved it here!!! We got a cold brew and a matcha latte and both were good! My matcha was milky, but I saw another girl order a strawberry matcha which had a super nice green color, so it might be worth taking your chances because the taste of the matcha itself was good! The regular black cold brew was very strong so we added a splash of heavy cream. The space is so nice for socializing or doing homework, and it's a joint space with a shawarma spot, I'd come again!

    How is the parking?

    They have a small lot. And funk zone has lots and street parking. If you go on a nice weekend late morning onwards can require a few loops around to find parking. But then a lovely short walk through the funk zone to Dart. Weekdays I often park… 

    Do they serve food?

    When I visited, they did have pastries, and there is also a restaurant within the same building that serves more substantial food options.

    Is the outdoor area dog friendly?

    I believe it is. It's not a big outdoor area.

    Is there WiFi?

    yes! wifi: FE9336C password: MBULACC301069 as of november 2020

    Are there charging outlets here?

    No. It's connected to a restaurant. It's not ideal for using your laptop or studying.

I did not visit during it's peak hours, though there still was a line out the door when I went mid-afternoon. The wait in line didn't seem too long and I was entertained / distracted by the merchandise that was out on display on the way to the register. I ended up pulling two coffee bags -- one for me (Brazil) and one as a gift for my sister (Gibraltar). I would love to be able to try the entire assortment of coffee beans. Love the packaging. The ambiance is open and spacious inside. Lots of space for seating indoors and there are places outside as well. I noticed a lot of students would come here to study or others who would go there to meet with friends or just a place to hang out. I would come back for sure next time I am back in the area and would like to try a food item next time and a matcha drink next time.

On June 5th between approximately 9:00 AM and 9:15 AM, at State st location, I ordered a Strawberry Milk Matcha at the State Street location. The drink I received looked significantly different from the advertised product and appeared improperly prepared. When I politely asked about it, the employee immediately became defensive and repeatedly insisted that the drink was correct instead of taking a moment to understand the concern. Fortunately, another employee stepped in and offered to remake the drink, which I appreciated. What disappointed me most was the customer service. When I asked the employee for his name so I could provide feedback, he told me that I did not need to know his name and that it was irrelevant for me to know. I found that response surprisingly unprofessional. Mistakes happen. Drinks can be remade. What matters is how customers are treated when they raise concerns respectfully. I spoke with a manager afterward, who apologized for my experience, but I left feeling that the issue was minimized rather than truly addressed. I choose local businesses over large chains whenever possible. That's exactly why this experience was disappointing. I hope this feedback is taken constructively because Dune has built a strong reputation in our community and I would like to see that standard upheld.
