Delicious coffee and chai tea goes well with their freshly-baked cookies (yummy). Friendly proprietress. Inviting interior with art on the walls by local artists and darling handmade oilcloth bags and other goodies for sale. All packed into a 500 sq ft space. The high ceiling and white interior with just the right touch of teal and dash of red make this well-thought out space feel airy, not cramped. There are tables outside as well as in and one of the best views of the Pacific is just around the corner. Skip Starbucks. Pull over and grab a coffee. You can't miss the red kettle. It's worth a stop at the new "local" in Summerland. read more

The shop was adorable! Lots of great options for flavored lattes and I appreciate that they support local artists by having their work up on the walls. However, the coffee and service was just ok. Had a small latte but couldn't really taste the espresso. The weirdest thing is that my friend and I ordered the exact same drink (same flavor, same size, same alternative milk) yet I was charged almost 35 cents more. With the overcharging and other factors being taken in consideration, I don't think I'll be coming back. read more

One of my favorite coffee shops! I was traveling from out of town and wa so pleasantly surprised to find this sweet spot! Cute little gifts/trinkets to buy inside, great service, and every drink was SO good. I got the honey bee latte (iced) one day, and an iced lavender matcha the next. Both were great quality, good level of sweetness, and pretty quick service! Super cute spot and great location- highly recommend! read more

Just left this coffee shop....coffee is ok, but don't go there for the attitude! I guess if you are the only game in town you can get away with that, but disappointing :-( read more

My wife & I stopped here for coffee while passing through Summerland. The atmosphere was quaint & cozy. 10 stars on creativity too with drink names like "Snowman Latte" & "The Grinch". We will definitely be back. So much better than a national chain. Even as travelers passing through we felt welcomed. If you haven't tried it yet, you need to. read more

Red Kettle Coffee is a hidden gem up the California coast. We were driving through California in our way to Seattle, WA and we had to stop and check out this really unique coffee shop. We ordered coffee, tea and cookies. Everyone there is polite and friendly. This inside looks like a little country home. It's adorable. It has a very East Coast Nantucket vibe with the wooden shingles and the colors throughout but we loved it. Totally recommend. Must try. read more

Red Kettle Coffee - Inside there are little tables and it feels like sitting inside someone's breakfast room, with books and nick nacks in the back. Loved it. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Summerland, California

Great latté , the espresso shots where so smooth if your passing through the 101 is literally right of the freeway. I strongly recommend red kettle read more

Stopped by as I was waiting for the office to open. I usually get a Mocha but this time the Snickerdoodle latte was calling my name. If you like the cookie try this drink. Staff is super friendly. read more

We like to stop here on our way to Westmont College. Good quality coffee and unique and tasty lattes. Loved the lavender latte! Such a refreshing alternative to the big "coffee" chain. read more

I don't really get the gnome theme, but this little shop serves a fantastic latte with a smile. The scones are the true stars, though. No dry-as-the-desert bricks found here. The scones are moist and cake-y, bursting with fruit and topped off with a heavenly glaze. This is a charming spot to begin or end a walk along Lillie Avenue, with its beautiful shops. read more

Just dropped in for the first time and loved everything about it. My turmeric latte and oatmeal cookie were perfect. My wife's pink salt and honey latte and peanut butter cookie were, according to her, perfect. Will be back with enthusiasm. Thanks. read more

This was one of the low-key highlights of our trip to Summerland. My husband and I came to Red Kettle every morning during our stay for a cinnamon-y latte (forget the name) and their chocolate croissants. YUM! read more

Love Red Kettle Coffee! A true gem in the heart of Summerland! The Ray of Sunshine Latte and The Salty Bumble Bee are two of my favorites. The staff is always welcoming and friendly. read more

Great place to grab a coffee or smoothie. Excellent cookies too. The lemon lavender cookie are my favorite.

Weak drip coffee. Not for coffee snobs. Prices are very fair. Ambiance is cute and the back patio is a great place to hang out.

One of my favorite coffee places. I work at George Pet shop in Montecito on weekends and my dear husband stops by here to bring me coffee

Cute little coffee shop in summerland. Very fun unique espresso drink options and flavors. Maybe a bit too sweet- at least for my preference. I had the salty dog and it just tasted a bit too salty and a bit too sweet. Is there any coffee In there? The girl at the register was nice- didn't seem super stoked to be doing he job. The decor is a winner. So aesthetically pleasing. The back patio is where it's at. Private but it is a little loud because the freeway is right behind it. If I needed to get out of SB I'll head his way again. read more

Most companies would welcome the extra traffic and use it as an opportunity to be more part of the local community. And I tipped a dollar at the register so the total was more like $4.75. I didn't expect a powder mix when I bought it. Also if the powder is perfect then why would you add extra syrup to the mix? read more

Best coffee ever. Wonderful customer service. Artistic boutique setting. Yummy treats. If you!are ever feeling a bit down and need a little pick up, I highly recommend stopping by the Red Kettle you wont be disappointed. read more

Red Kettle Coffee has really delicious coffee. This coffee shop's coffee and americanos are truly delicious and not just a typical coffee shop type of coffee. Also, this is the one place that I have found offers a strawberry croissant! The strawberry croissant is fresh, tasty, good quality and unique. Lastly, there is a lovely outdoor patio and all kinds of lil trinkets, cards, and useful items ( ie beeswax reusable food wrap) that you can purchase at Red Kettle Coffee. I purchased a bag of espresso beans to take home and am so glad I did. Its the kind of americano you make and sit and just sip and take in; really taste the flavor and smell the aroma. I sound like a commercial! But really Red Kettle Coffee tastes uniquely delicious. read more

Bummer of a first experience. Coffee was lukewarm, weak and sitting out on the counter. I've never liked the "pour it yourself" method of some coffee shops. I had the "805 blend". Service was lukewarm, too. I had a couple questions about the roast and didn't get much info from the owner other than "someone in Ventura roasts it for us". Honestly, the coffee was terrible. I tossed it and picked up another cup at my regular shop in SB. Admittedly, I'm pretty picky about my coffee. But, I won't be going out of my way to visit again. Reading the other comments, It's obvious my experience is vastly different than most. I wish them luck but will stick with The French Press in SB. read more

I just rode my motorcycle up from Long Beach and the owners were kind enough to let me in a little before 6:30 AM. Fantastic coffee, clean establishment, easily accessible from Lillie Road. There are a few tables outside and a nice stainless steel counter inside with a plug to recharge your phone. There is a bookshelf full of books and beautiful art on the walls.This will become a regular stop for future trips! read more

Awesome coffee and service. Great location. I loved the setting with my latte and bagel.

Great place off the 101. Every time my family hits the Santa Barbara Zoo we stop here first. Great coffee and pastries. And the wide assortment of nic-nacs is a lot of fun. Super cute and chill. read more

I did some video work for Red Kettle Coffee a while back. Megan and her staff are so friendly and they really make some of the best coffee you'll have anywhere in Southern California. Summerland certainly needed a cafe and Red Kettle Coffee went above and beyond to fulfill that community need. Their coffee is great, their speciality drinks are superb, and it is a perfect spot to sit down to work or converse with friends. If you're driving by, take a quick stop at Red Kettle Coffee, you won't regret it. read more

Nice, clean and cool, friendly group place to order a cuppa coffee and some sweets. Sit back and enjoy it!

Stopped by here today and had their spicy chai latte and it was delicious. Just the right amount of kick and not too sweet. Will stop here again! My hubs had a dark roast coffee and said it was good too. read more

Incredibly charming and a perfect stop in a small beach town! Enjoyed an iced latte while checking out their book collection and garden! Super cute! read more
