Great area to walk around and enjoy the college campus ambiance. We went here on a Sunday night and…read moreit was a lively night out with students riding bikes around, live music in the surrounding area and ambient lighting on the streets. We got two cookiewiches, it's nice because you get to choose two different cookies and an ice cream flavor. I wish the cookies were fresher because they all tasted stale and were rock hard. Maybe if they warmed it up before it would have been better? If I had to choose, the best cookie was probably the brown butter chocolate chip but the peanut butter cookie was so hard I couldn't take more than two bites. Ice cream was great though! Try the sweet bream caramel brownie ice cream. Staff was very friendly!

It's also a little disappointing that they don't have DoorDash available. The milk tea itself was decent, but nothing too special or memorable. I also tried the salted foam, but unfortunately it wasn't very good. Overall, it's an average spot--fine if you're nearby, but not something I would go out of my way for.

The staff worked their butts off but ultimately if felt like a third person or some better organization would help them out. But the reason we were here was ice cream and that was just kind of middle of the road. We didn't do all the fancy stuff and just for scoops so maybe we can try that next time (churros and ice cream looked bomb), but again the ice cream was just kind "meh".all the menu options they had were more interesting than something like baskin robbins but the ice cream was just one tick below in my opinion, and again not that it should be in the same category, but it wasn't as good as Roris. If I'm eating ice cream, I'd prefer to spend the extra and get the best.

Our daughter and I were so happy when we saw a smoothie store, which was much healthier than baked goods, anyway. We're impressed by their huge selections. Their prices were much more reasonable than Jamba Juice as well. I got a large Berries Plus with Immune Support to share with my husband, and our daughter got a small Tropical Guava with Chia Seeds. Staff were friendly. Our daughter was curious about their Trim & Fit supplement and the guy at the register looked it up for her from one of their really thick binders. We all liked our smoothies, which were fresh and delicious, and would definitely come back again next time we're in the area. Too bad they didn't have any locations near where we live.

Nikka Japanese Market is truly a gem in Goleta and the surrounding Santa Barbara area. A perfect,…read morecute shop featuring groceries and other Japanese goods, it is magical! I must mention their prices are also super fair and you can get a great deal on high quality items!! I am not from here, but I am a frequent visitor. I have always had a difficult time sourcing Asian grocery items until I discovered this spot. Their store holds so many surprises within its aisles. From dozens of varieties of soy sauce to specialty frozen foods and ceremonial fruits, Nikka has it all! I was looking for ingredients to make Lu Rou fan, a Taiwanese traditional braised pork, and was struggling to find the ingredients elsewhere. I came in looking for 2 types of soy sauce, shiitake mushrooms, and vegetables. They had it all! A very wonderful, kind woman assisted me and pointed me to exactly what I needed. We also had a sweet conversation about taiyaki, which I was also able to buy from here. I'm so sad I didn't get her name! If you are reading this, thank you for the help!! I have been back a few times since my first visit and each time I go it is awesome! If you are looking for specialty items or just want a new place to get groceries, stop here!!! :)

It is a Mexican bakery after all, and they specialize in these.
