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.

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.

View from the inside. This spot is bigger than it looks.

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!

Old Town Coffee is such a gem! Great food, amazing coffee, and the cutest atmosphere. Perfect spot to relax and enjoy a good cup of coffee.

My go to coffee spot in Goleta is Old Town Coffee!!! Located right on Hollister in old town Goleta, you will get some of the best coffee you've ever had in your life. You can also get awesome baked good and breakfast burritos and sandwiches to go with your beverage of choice. Along with great coffee, they have a great great staff who's always friendly and prompt with their service, even when there is a rush. They have plenty of space indoors and outside, located in the back for some down time or if you need a a space for the day. If you're looking for a coffee spot, that's also locally owned, I would go to Old Town Coff

A very nice and comforting environment, the lights were low and warm. I had a custom order of a hot Rasberry Matcha Chai w/ Oatmilk and Kira (excuse the spelling if its incorrect) did an awesome job on creating this concoction for me The Berry Scone warmed up was also delicious and you could tell it was fresh, especially the berries.

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.

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.

Old Town Coffee in Goleta has a great atmosphere and excellent coffee. I also tried a breakfast burrito it was good but pretty average. I'd definitely come back for the coffee and vibe.

Goodies to go, packaged up!

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.

One of the best iced vanilla lattes I've had in a long time! Staff is super friendly and it's also dog friendly!!

Ladies at the counter and making coffee are extremely dedicated and work super fast. They offer a great variety of coffees, Kombucha and teas. Lots of fresh pastries and breakfast options. We ordered a Cappucino and a Matcha Latte with almond milk. Extremely great quality of Matcha and Coffee. We even ended buying their Ethiopian Coffee Beans to take home. They have a big seating area inside and out and it is a dog friendly place inside and out.
