We've had this coffee before but we don't live close to this place so we don't really visit as often. I do miss the old logo of the skull. Initially we were parked in front of the store to fix something in my car, but the Irish cream cold brew piqued our interest. The Irish cream is very delicious but also sweet. The cold brew coffee they use has more of that citrus/bright notes to it versus Starbucks cocoa notes. But once the cream Cascades down or if you mix it, it's not too sweet and it's pretty well balanced. I wish they used a coffee with some cocoa notes in it, but still a really good coffee. read more

First visit and I think this might be the nicest coffee shop I've been to so far! The aesthetic was modern and just felt like a really nice place to be. The guy and girl who worked here were nice and friendly. I'd definitely come back. This is what I had this time around: Gingerbread latte with an add shot 5/5: fire. The espresso was perfect- smooth, rich, and not bitter or sour at all. I asked for 50% sweet and it came out at exactly the right sweetness to satisfy that craving without turning into a dessert. read more

Great spot. They have a very large menu with some unique options. The staff is very nice and they always walk you through the WiFi steps. They friendly with regulars and the location offers many great spots for studying or just relaxing. Parking can be a little annoying but other than that it's a highly recommended spot by me. read more

The place to come if you want to order got coffee served cold. It's common for people to want a pick me up sometime in the afternoon. I don't really care if it's coffee they brewed it the morning but they should keep it hot! If you claim to be a coffee shop the most basic thing you need to perfect is a normal cup of coffee. read more

I stumbled across Old Town Coffee today for the first time while in Old Town Goleta for work and was surprised by how spacious it was inside, considering the storefront is pretty small. Several groups of UCSB students were enjoying coffee and the whole shop had a friendly, casual atmosphere. I scooped up a latte with soy milk - a plus to have in my book - and it was really good. The workers were extremely friendly and the price was better than most spots. Turns out they also roast their own beans, which helps explain why it was so delicious. I'll definitely be back when I'm out this way again! read more

Parked right next to their winter drink signs and saw the Irish cream cold brew and had to get it. There wasn't a line so we got our order pretty fast. The first sip of the cream was amazing although a bit too sweet for my taste. Once I got to the coffee part, flavor was more on the acidic side which also isn't my type of coffee...I prefer dark chocolate notes but with this Irish cream it was perfectly balanced with the sweetness of the cream and acidity of the coffee. I would totally get this again. read more

As soon as I walked in, I fell in love with the chill vibe of the place. It seems like a great place to hang out with friends and family or study and do homework. They have inside and outdoor seating, games, lots of food and pastry options, as well as drink and alternative milk options! The customer service team is on it and really seems to know what they're doing. It was some of the best coffee I've had in a while! My burrito was also super yummy and I love the heat of the salsa that came with it. read more

Best chai ever! I keep coming back for their chai because it's not too sweet and actually tastes like chai, I find that many places opt to make their chais extremely sweet and just taste like a cinnamon sugar bomb. Not here! My friend ordered their gibraltar and really enjoyed it as well. The place is also connected to an arcade, wine bar, and outdoor patio-- really cool. The baristas have been friendly the past 2 times I've been and have recommended great pastries to try. My drinks always come out incredibly fast too, despite however busy it is. Will keep returning here whenever I'm in Santa Barbara. read more

A port in the storm! I love coming here when I'm getting my car worked on at Big Brand Tires. This morning I got the breakfast burrito and drip coffee. Tons of tables and had my work laptop so getting work done, having breakfast and great coffee? A win win for a stressful morning with a flat tire! So happy this place exists. The staff is super friendly and it's just a great place to be. read more

I grabbed some baked goods to go from this spot recently and they were delish! Old Town Coffee is in Old Town Goleta, hence the name. Parking can be a bit challenging in this area depending on the time of day. They have a great space with lots of seating available inside. This is a nice spot to hang and get some work done. They have a variety of drinks on the menu. I'm a fan! Their banana nut muffin is so good. I will be back! Plus, the staff working the Thursday afternoon I went in was very helpful and friendly. read more

A classic coffee shop right here in Old Town Goleta. And with comfy seating inside and out, and plenty of room to bring your favorite four-legged friend. Staff is always friendly and helpful. This week we had the pleasure of having Abby taking good care of us. And always nice to chat with owners Tim and Rachel to find out about all future happenings at OTC. We got to spread out on the communal table up front, sunshine through the big windows and watching the world go by. Whether it's one of their many flavored latte drinks, (excited for the Winter and their Holiday Lattes), or just a big ole' cup of medium roast coffee, its a nice way to continue the waking up process. They also have some tasty AM vittles. Both breakfast sandwiches/burritos, and sweet pastries and bagels. And SWAG, they have some very cool swag items for everyone. I know where I am doing a lot of my Christmas shopping this year. As a Goleta Native it will be good to represent with the assorted OTC shirts, cups and mugs, and fresh coffee beans to go. Located in Old Town Goleta (hence the name), and right between Noodle City, Centennial Beer Hall, Lazy Eye Shop, and Velo Pro Cyclery. Usually good parking along Hollister Avenue. read more

Definitely D' spot! This place is amazingly impressive and the ambiance is just calming and harmonious. Staff is friendly just like when you step into a friend's house and they welcome you with a "Que Onda Wey" and on top of that they bring Your order to the table. I got to say this place got nothing on Starbucks. Vegan selection bread and breakfast wraps "burritos" Don't forget the back patio with an arcade room for your little rascals to have some fun while YOU yes YOU enjoy a good Cafe Con Pan, or maybe a taste of wine or beer, you choose. This place got me mesmerized! I will definitely place this Cafe into my Fave 5! And remember we all have good and times, and you be the judge. read more

Old Town Coffee - Bagel with Cream Cheese (Jalapeño cheddar) + Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Goleta, California

Friendly staff. Cute place to meet a friend or do some work. Delicious coffee. I ordered the honey lavender latte, very smooth and creamy. "Messy the Baker" dropped off some fresh, homemade sweet treats, so of course I had to get the Oreo brownie. OMG, fantastic! I come here every 2-3 months when I'm in town for work, I've never been disappointed. Give 'em a try! read more

Atmosphere is nice but the customer service is strongly lacking!!! I ordered a coffee here, sat down, drank it, finished it, & tossed my cup. Continued reading a book I had at hand. A few minutes later, I noticed a woman who worked there giving me really dirty looks. She then went up to the table I was sitting at & started yelling at me at the top of her lungs while everyone in the entire coffee shop watched her belittle me. She said I was not welcome in the shop without a purchase. I then pulled out my mobile phone to show her receipt with proof of purchase. Instead of apologizing, she continued on saying a table could not be occupied for "long periods of time." Mind you there was a table across of me with an entire study group who had been there before me! I was so taken aback with how I was treated, I left embarrassed and cried. I have never been treated so badly in my life as a paying customer. I recommend Dune's or even Starbucks. You can enjoy your coffee and there's no time limit on seating. If you do choose to get a coffee here make sure you don't toss your cup until you are ready to leave or you WILL get nasty looks or even humiliated! read more

A community hub with wondeful staff - and a perfect spot to get some work away from home.

The best coffee shop in Goleta!! The atmosphere is inviting: spacious, yet homey, with plentiful seating inside and a large patio outside. It's a great place to kick back, relax or study. The coffee is tasty and there are a lot of food offerings to try. Unfortunately they don't carry the famous Buena Onda empanadas any longer. When I walked in, the owner Tim was at the front, roasting coffee beans. He explained the process (12-14 minutes at ~425 degrees). I had never seen the coffee roasting process and it was neat to have it prominently on display as you walk in. There is also a wide selection of wine and beer, and they often have live music on the back patio on the weekends. They also have a game room, with pool tables, shuffleboard and pinball machines! I hope places like this continue to open in Old Town Goleta for the gentrification many Goleta locals are hoping for. Note: Parking can be difficult on Hollister Avenue. But persevere! It's worth it. read more

Coffee always comes out delicious here! From their cold brew to lattes, you really can't go wrong. They offer a couple of breakfast bites such as paninis, sandwiches, donuts, and empanadas. I typically stick to a vanilla latte (basic) but it's always good and a few sips already get me caffeinated and ready for the day! A great local spot :) read more

Stumbled upon this little coffee shop on my morning walk, and was glad I could check it out. It wasn't very crowded on a Saturday morning, which was appreciated, as it seems like this is one of the only true cafes in the area. The matcha isn't anything groundbreaking, but fairly decent for a neighborhood coffee shop. I do really like the set up here and the cute outdoor area in the back. Decent amount of seating is always a plus! Workers were really nice and friendly and my drink came out quick :'). read more

Overall: Such a cute spot, great for getting work done! Drinks/Food: I came here with friends twice during a trip to Santa Barbara and ordered the white mocha and the chai latte. Both were pretty good! There was a good selection of drinks to choose from. Ambiance: This space is so cool! Huge with lots of outlets and tables to study at both indoors and in the outdoor back patio. There was also a large arcade room in the back of the cafe. Super cute spot, would definitely go there to get work done if I lived in SB. Service: Really great! Employees were so kind :) Cost: Pretty reasonable read more

You really can't go wrong finding cute, chill coffee spots in the Santa Barbara area. When I was a UCSB student, finding a good study spot outside of campus is a must, and Old town Coffee is one of em. Very spacious and even has an ample outdoor patio with several seating areas (each table has their own succulent, which I find super cute). Best coffee hands down and their pastries are.... Simply scrumptious. Or they have wraps and egg muffins for when that hunger kicks in. Super friendly staff and cleanliness. And very relaxing and upbeat music. Definitely recommend! read more

We came in to do some homework and it was a vibe. The live band playing was awesome- we couldn't see them but we heard them. They have a bar and an arcade area. The staff was super friendly and attentive. We lost track of time working, when we checked the time (9:53pm) we realized it was late and didn't want to be those people that stay til the last minute. My friends ordered a wine and a coffee which they both really enjoyed. I appreciate how spacious and late this coffee shop is open. Definitely a great place to focus and get some work done.
