The location is adorable, and the convenient 15-minute parking spot right in front made it an easy stop while we were traveling down the coast. We ordered an iced caramel latte with oat milk, a matcha with oat milk, and a lox bagel. The cashier/barista was incredibly friendly and took the time to help us decide on our drinks based on her recommendations, which we really appreciated.

First time to come here was challenging to park, but not a big deal, there's some street parking. Came in and was hoping to try a pastry.... Not today, I guess everything sells out before 2pm haha. I'll have to come earlier next time. Decided to try a Mayan mocha. Wasn't sure what it was, but was told it's like a Mexican hot chocolate- I'm sold. Once I took the first sip, the rich coffee and chocolate was so delicious. I'm hooked. I would definitely come back for this any day. I recommend it! Thank you for the friendly service and flavorful Coffee!

How have I lived here for six years and NEVER reviewed my beloved Java Station?? Oh my lanta, this…read moreplace is a gem in the little area of Noleta. Bekah, the owner, is sunshine in human form with a dash of sass, who truly cares about her community. Not only that, she personally smokes the meats that feature in the sandwiches. When I tell you the smoked turkey sandwich is the best turkey sandwich in all of Santa Barbara? I may be marginally biased but I am speaking with my full chest: THE SMOKED TURKEY SANDWICH IS THE BEST IN ALL OF SANTA BARBARA!!! The tri-tip quesadilla is indulgent and full of flavor. The breakfast tacos are perfection. And the coffee selection is incredible. Java Station uses ethical blends and has lattes that rival any chain. Sometimes I just say "I need something not too sweet that'll wake me up" and she whips me up a magic potion. And all of her staff are equally talented. PLUS, Java Station has regular after hours entertainment. Expect a packed house for excellent comedy, among other events. Wine and beer offered for these too, which makes it almost like a cool speakeasy. In short, Java Station is a hidden gem that shouldn't be so hidden. I hope it's around for a good long time!
