Java Station

Our favorite coffee shop in town. I drive all the way up from carpinteria to study and play board games at Java. The baristas here a friendly and their coffee is top notch. Can't compliment this place any more than I have. My girlfriend always orders their chai, which she seems to enjoy. I personally like their house cups - their kona is on point.

Pretty good location for a mid-ride stop on an easy bike ride from downtown Santa Barbara. We enjoyed the indoor ambiance and atmosphere, good seating, both indoor and out.

My coffee was very average. I had a latte that was entirely too milky and not nearly strong enough with espresso. Plus it was barely luke warm.

My pumpkin muffin was the highlight. It was deliciously satisfying, well spiced, plus they microwaved it for me.

So the good plus the bad makes it an average experience.

Great coffee, delicious, unique, made-to-order snacks, baked goods, games to play, a fireplace - what are you waiting for. We love it as a rest, refuel, and turn-around point on our marathon walks on a variety of routes.

I was so happy to see the Java was serving food at tables again! And the quality of the product is still top notch.

The problem was the cross contamination way the UCSB graduate made the lox sandwich.As she touched caper containers,then grabbed a tomato from the visibly dirty cutting board ,grabs the knife ,puts the cream cheese,then grabs these wilted cut onion slices from a plastic container,that the employee has touched several times that day ,and it’s been open the entire time .See ? Gloves or not .Its the ORDER in which you make the sandwich which keeps from making a customer sick ,after paying $14 plus the appropriate tip ,it’s only fair you have your employees who have graduated from culinary school to please see one episode of Bar Rescue before you kill someone,like my Mama.

Nice place with good seating inside and shaded seating outside. The breakfast burritos are great! Make sure you get there early because they only make a limited number of them each day.

This is our favorite coffee shop! Best café lattés in town. Bagels with cream cheese, tomato and lemon pepper are a favorite. Delicious scones and muffins too. Unique homey ambiance. They light a fire in the fireplace when it is cool outside or they open all the sliders if it is warm. Eat inside or out. Free wireless. What more could you want?

Terrible coffee overpriced bean washers!
Outside patio, side and back area is Full of permanent Bums and Homeless and Smokers, Yuk! Inside lots of funky weird new age Hippies mixed with Hope Ranch soccer Mammas; Oh and lets not forget the Occult Game section! Its a vortex of Funk! Management has Poor taste.

Coffees is great... Nice shady spot...off road so car dust is 50 yards away.... Wish they had super sandwich menus to go with good company... Coffie .. Mabey they do have sandwich menus and I just didn't see it.
You can relax there....

My favorite place to get an EXCELLENT breakfast burrito in the morning, and then an EXCELLENT club sandwich in the afternoon. I pretty much don't go anywhere else for quick food or a drink.

Great espresso drinks. Classic style (what you'd expect in Europe), not hipster SF espresso. The crowd, though. Who are these people? They feel like they could be students who live in hope ranch on a field trip at a KOA in Arizona. Mixed with the older entitled bourgeoise, of course.
