I am writing this because I genuinely support local Santa Barbara businesses and want them to succeed. On June 5th between approximately 9:00 AM and 9:15 AM, 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. read more

Always on the hunt for the best local coffee shops when I travel, and Dune was such a great pick for getting a feel of the Santa Barbara coffee scene. I love the color pops, the name, and the font -- it gives the whole brand a distinct, fun, retro vibe. They have multiple locations and they're generally busy, which is always a good sign. I grabbed a matcha latte and my partner got a cappuccino -- both were amazing. Would definitely come back. They also sell coffee beans to go and have some really nice merch. A great stop for anyone wanting a true SB coffee moment. read more

Loved my iced latte from Dune! Very cool spot in Santa Barbara, filled with students on their laptops. The coffee itself was excellent, too. It was so excellent, in fact, that I tried to find espresso beans that they were selling so I could buy them, but unfortunately I couldn't find them in the store. Would return for sure! read more

Hubby is a big coffee drinker. We went twice is one day here lol. He ordered the shakerato in the morning, but the afternoon one was overly sweet. He noticed the quality of the coffee beans had a lot of flavor, weren't burnt compared to other coffee places he goes to. He enjoyed the coffee so much he grabbed a bag of beans to take home (the zip zinger). I ordered the magic bowl-chamomile tea steamed almond milk and honey which was very soothing, perfect for the cold weather. In the afternoon I had the matcha latte which was a great pick me up. Both were delicious. The girl taking our orderly was very sweet and welcoming. read more

I LOOOOVE going to local coffee shops when I visit an area and I'm so glad I did!! The coffee is 10/10 would recommend. Vanilla latte-- classic done right, not too sweet, not too milky, perfectly smooth, and the espresso is amazing! I got the hot one (as per usual) and loved it but the iced is good too!! I'm always so wary of ordering lattes because some places the milk ratio is just TOO MUCH for however much coffee they put (or it's too weak or watery or something) and it just tastes like sweet milk with a whiff of coffee. But here, the ratio is perfect! Iced matcha-- Ehhh unfortunately quite terrible and watery. They DO whisk it with the brush and bowl and all and you can watch with the open kitchen concept .... But the ratio here is off and doesn't taste great. Super mild matcha taste. Almond Croissant-- Solid would get again!! Ask for it warmed up!! There's a parking lot and both indoor and outdoor seating. Absolutely would come again for the hot vanilla latte!!! They're a coffee roaster so for sure coffee is where it's at. read more

I've been a fan of Dune Coffee Roasters since the early French press days, so watching them grow into four locations across Santa Barbara and Goleta has been pretty cool. Proof that good coffee and consistency actually matter. Ordering online is easy, there's a great outdoor patio, and plenty of indoor seating. It's one of those places that works for everything. Catching up with a friend, hosting a meetup, studying, remote work, family hangouts, locals, tourists, cyclists. Yes, there's a bike rack. Let's talk about the real stars. I'm obsessed with their toast and jam. Simple, perfect, no notes. And as someone who drinks iced vanilla lattes regularly, theirs always hits. Not overly sweet, perfectly balanced, and consistently smooth. Staff is cool too. Friendly, efficient, and never weird about explaining the menu or answering questions, even when it's busy. They've also got solid merch if you're into taking a little piece of your favorite coffee shop home. Parking is what it is. There's a small lot and a paid city lot across the way, which feels very downtown Santa Barbara and not worth stressing over. As for some of the negative reviews I've seen... high chairs? This isn't a restaurant. Hipster prices? Starbucks is charging over $7 now, so let's all be serious. Pet friendly too. Just keep your well-behaved, leashed pup outside since health department rules are a thing. Reliable, welcoming, and always a good cup. Dune is a staple for a reason. read more

Was in town for the weekend and needed a good cup of coffee. They had a batch brew and also a couple pour over selections. I ordered a Honduras gesha. Friendly service and they actually do the pour over by hand, with an Origami dripper. Plenty of seating indoors as well as some tables outside. The coffee I had was very fruity with a strong apple taste; recommend if you are into fruit forward, tea like coffee. They had interesting bean options when I went, but I already have too much coffee at home, but if I didn't I definitely would have picked up a bag read more

Needed a caffeine boost so we decided to swing by! We got the hot mocha latte and iced vanilla latte. The iced vanilla latte wasn't too sweet which we loved. I thought the hot mocha tasted like a yummy chocolate treat (but with caffeine). The service was quick on a weekend (during ucsb spring break)! There are indoor and outdoor seatings, so it's a great place to do work or chat with friends. read more

Was in need of caffeine and stopped here on Labor Day and it was very busy, there was line to order but it went by quickly. They have indoor and outdoor seating which is convenient.

Kudos to Dune to being open early during the week and on Saturdays! You'd be surprised: it's not always easy to get a cup of tea at 6am. The Song tea that Dune uses is delicious. I enjoyed several cups of their earl grey over the last few days. And with a splash of steamed milk, it's even better! On each occasion, the staff was always very friendly and attentive. Highly recommend a stop in! 2025: 27/100 read more

Best specialty coffee in Santa Barbara!

Delicious coffee, pastries ok, service good. We had a long line and waited to place our order and then waited another few minutes for our food. Coffee was really good as stated, and pastries - chocolate croissant and almond croissant were fine, regular pastries.

As a first timer in SB, I took to TikTok for recommendations on coffee shops and almost every video featured Dune, so I knew I had to try them! It's a cute shop with friendly staff and a simple bit classic coffee menu. I went with a 1/2 sweet vanilla latte and a blueberry muffin, my aunt got a scone and a flash brew. My vanilla latte was amazing! Just a hint of vanilla flavor and sweetness, a beautiful balance between coffee flavor and cream, the perfect pick me up. My blueberry muffin was warmed and has the biggest berries in it which was a nice surprise. My aunts flash brew has a bold, smooth flavor and was perfectly refreshing. The shop itself is also cute, a few items for sale and I love the skateboard decor and greenery. Overall a great place to grab a delicious cup of coffee and catch up with friends or get some work done. read more

Dune Coffee Roasters is located on the corner for a frequented street, and the coffee there is tasty. I enjoyed their large iced latte and selection of pastries. The interior is also gives a modern, rustic ambiance, and they even have outdoor seating. The parking lot is a bit small, but it was not packed that morning. Upon walking in, the staff are friendly and patient to assist with orders. They also have croissants that have a crispy exterior but are quite crumbly once eaten, perfect if you enjoy the crunchies but not amazing if you want to avoid a mess. A friend of mine ordered the tres leches, and while it was tasty, it would have been better if there were cinnamon. read more

The cashier/barista was really nice and helpful. My husband was unsure of which pour-over he wanted so she gave her suggestions. Also I was worried my drink would be too sweet (haha it's called Cookies and Foam Latte) but she said they could adjust the sweetness. It turned out exactly to my liking! Also we got a breakfast burrito and it's good! We were surprised there's beans in it but for me that's a plus! The green salsa is great as well. There's indoor seating and outdoor patio seating. So many dogs here! Love a dog-friendly establishment! read more

The coffee here is one of my favorites bc of how "smooth" it is. An iced oat vanilla latte is the perfect way to start the morning. Baristas were SO friendly and latte art was stunning! I love the coastal interiors - very relaxing and chill atmosphere. Great spot for working (both inside & out). Parking lot is small, but we found street parking nearby and walked around downtown after too. read more

The Ethiopian Pour Over was so fun to try. I had some friends in town so we decided to try our local roaster on a Sunday morning. As usual it was packed and the wait went quickly. The vanilla latte was great and people watching with the coffee aroma, even better. They had three pour over options and I was pleasantly surprised to experience it and not even want a little sugar or milk. This will definitely be a must try for any friends who visit. read more
