A great find for a delicious latte in Santa Barbara. Great atmosphere for a coffee and some computer work. They have a great lunch menu with an amazing BLT!

I adore Java Station! Whenever Im in Santa Barbara I always stop in at least once and they never disappoint. Perfect lattes and one of the best bagels with schmear Ive ever had. Lovely and eclectic decor makes every visit new and welcoming. Service is always gracious and kind. I wish we had a Java Station in Woodland Hills ~ Id be there every day!

This coffee house is an awesome and intimate place to grab, well, a coffee but also sandwiches, baked goods, and a variety of teas and other drinks. Lots of seating and very inclusive. The people who work here are, without exception, incredible. Friendly, efficient, quick to remember names; such service is almost always the hallmark of the owner…which makes me think that whomever the owner of this special place is pretty awesome because everyone working here is invested in creating a great experience. While we’re only in SB two months a year, we feel so lucky to be able to visit Java Station daily when we’re there.

Fantastic, locally-owned & operated coffee shop featuring a wide selection of coffees, teas, bagels and burritos. Staff is super friendly and service is prompt. Indoor & outdoor seating. Usually busy and parking can be tricky but well-worth it to visit and enjoy! Cash & credit cards accepted.Great selection of both green and black teas in addition to their coffee offerings - not to mention smoothies, Italian sodas, etc. Their bagels are delicious and they make some great sandwiches with them. They also serve some pastries, croissants, and sweet-breads. Generous with the butter and cream cheese. Great place to kick back and catch up with friends. Parking lot is usually full, but also look for parking along the sides of the building and in back. Small amount of on-street parking also available on the side-street.

What a gem! Thoroughly impressed with everything about this spot. Unique layout, friendly chill staff, seemingly fire locally sourced produce and bagels. Got the classic bagel melt and it is a dream breakfast option.Americano also brings some niche crafted coffee beans. Will be stopping in from now on while in the area.

Java Station is the best! I’ve been coming here for years. It’s a great place to get some work done on a laptop, chat with friends, or pop into during a weekend bike ride. The staff is always friendly and lots of seating inside and outdoors. And the drinks and food are great!

Great local independent coffee house serving up delicious continental breakfast fare in a large unassuming space. The staff are warm and friendly and go out of their way to make each customer feel like part of their family. In typical independent fashion, the walls are adorned with paintings for sale from local artists, and the bachelor pad style furnishings are an eclectic mix of indoor and outdoor furniture plus whatever was available at local garage sales.

I love this place. Super friendly staff. My favorite is the Tri Tip Sandwich. Perfectly balanced meat to veggie ratio. I also get a fresh baked scone and eat that while I wait for the sandwich to be made. Highly recommended. My stop from Los Angeles to SLO! See you Saturday morning!

Our order was bacon and egg bagel with cream cheese. Its a knife and fork bagel, open face I guess its what it would be. Bacon was great. Americano coffee was great also. Nice place to 😌

Very nice place, fun decor, inclusive place with a large rainbow flag inside. If you go by car, its hard to find a parking spot but there are small adjacent streets with free parking.

Great black coffees and good selection of roasts. Free refills for for here cups. Really delicious bagel (pesto and Parmesan I think it was? The delicious cheesy looking one). Plus the pastry below. They have a nice outside seating area as well

I regularly come to Java Station to do work and hang out. The atmosphere here is phenomenal. The staff are all incredibly kind and foster a genuine sense of community that is–in my opinion–completely unrivaled. If you dont like your drink they will happily remake it and make it to your liking. They exhibit a commitment to quality that you would be hard-pressed to find in any other coffee shop/cafe. As a result, the drinks are all delicious, and the food is equally so. I really cant sing the praises of this place enough.

Great coffee shop for having a snack, a cold brew, and bringing a good book or your laptop for getting some work done. Some outdoor seating available as well as a large parking lot for easy off-street parking

This really sweet girl Issie recommended I go here and was telling me all about their coffee, how the beans are “cherry-picked” & they use Ghirardelli chocolate for their mochas. I immediately headed over here instead of Starbucks. Best mocha in town. Rich, robust chocolate and coffee flavor! Would opt for this place any day over any other coffee shop I’ve tried so far. Such sweet service too! I got my mocha double blended with oat milk. This pastry I got is also amazing. Highly recommend this place. Great hang-out or study ambiance too. Thanks so much!

Latte had an amazing froth to espresso/milk ratio, it tasted very rich. Espresso had a hazelnut flavor and was decently strong. Latte art was amazing (even though I messed it up by putting on the lid) - they have always done an amazing job with their art and fun designs. Highly recommended!Instagram:@roastin_reviews

The Tomatoes avocado 🥑 cream cheese bagel was delicious. The zucchini loaf was delicious. Coffee and latte expectations was not met.

The atmosphere was nice when walking in, but the quality of the drink was poor, in my opinion.I ordered a blended Chai, and it was made quickly which was nice. But unfortunately I believe it was speed over quantity AND quality.The cup it was in wasnt filled all the way, it was a good inch or two below the top. Not only that the taste was not something I would pay for again. It would be described as bitter, bland, and unappetizing.Overall, I would not recommend and wont be coming back

Service is good, everyone that works there greets you with a smile. Super friendly! The food could have been better. The lox deluxe bagel was good, but wish I was given a few more slices of lox for the cost. The blueberry muffin is a little gritty, but good otherwise. Went here to do some work, but it’s more of a hangout space as the music is too loud and it’s typically rock.

Two of us came here for a nighttime chat between 7 and 8:00 closing time. There were still several customers at tables who looked mostly like they were students working on laptops.The woman at the register was friendly and welcoming and patient as we made our selections (chai and an Oreo frap-type drink). After paying we sat at one of the plentiful tables in the spacious dining area, which could benefit from a couch or other form of cozier seating than the current tables and chairs. Other than that it’s a nice setup.I wasn’t crazy about the chai-it tasted a bit harsh and wasn’t hot-more very warm. I should’ve asked for a reheat and I’m sure it would’ve made it yummier or maybe I’m just a picky person-lol. My friend greatly enjoyed her Oreo drink however and it disappeared before I could even ask for a taste.At 8:00 we were so deep in conversation that we didn’t realize almost everyone else had cleared out for closing. And yet, the staffperson did not hustle us out as she was busy clearing up in back. She did, however, warmly bid us a good evening. Really good service here, and next time I’ll have tea or coffee or one of those tall Frappuccino type drinks.

Never tried the food. Have always had coffee. They use Klatch coffee. I like Dune and Handlebar over Klatch. In my opinion. The vibe is good. LGTBQ+ friendly. The coffee is solid. Can always find a table. Can always find a place to park. Depending on where youre coming from its kind of in a random place, Over by the U-haul and the other entrance to Hope Ranch. Kitty corner from the European Market. I would recommend though for sure.

This spot is something out of Cambridge or Brooklyn. It’s funky, a home grown kind of feel, with food and drinks that taste like they’ve had effort put into them. No pretentious or vanilla vibes at all. LGBTQ friendly and everyone inside is polite and smiles back, customers and employees! Many SB Coffee spots have a sort of…lame, generic, “don’t talk to me”, squeaky clean, get in get out feel. Not Java station, this spot is on point!

A low-key coffee shop that only locals know! Plenty of tables to hunker down at and get some work done. Easy location between Goleta and SB.

If you are in the area or passing through this coffee shop is a place you must visit. Was biking to In-n-out when I discovered this place and Rebecca made my experience very memorable by turning there pride latte into a blended beverage. There is a good amount of seating and a few parking spaces out front.

I really like the new Java Station. New manager works as barista. Klatch coffee, not so astringent as many local coffee bars. Large, clean interior, low key atmosphere. Food is better than youd expect, locally produced Tri-tip and roast turkey, dry deli quality ham and fresh breads. Several nice vegetarian selections.

I thought the reason I paid for a 4 dollar medium drip coffee was because I would get a refill. Because of this I only filled my cup half way. I didnt like the French Roast much so I finished it and tried the Kona. It was cold. When I tried to speak to someone the three girls behind the counter were too busy talking to each other to pay attention to me. So I left.

Knocking them down again a point as the menu items can leave a bit to be desired. Its hit or miss which I dont like. Sometimes delicious but sometimes a waste of money. Had a Carne toast with egg that was unpalatable due to unripe tomatoes, very crispy and the centers were so hard and tough you could break a tooth! I had to throw it out. The brownies are not as good as they used to be, more like cake with little flavor, will no longer get these as a treat. Just dont know. Have had sandwiches, including bagle options thrown together that were soggy and watery. Seemed to have not very fresh ingredients.Hope this shop gets back to being special.Coffee is good but little to no caffine boost.Friendly staff and great service.....Am knocking them down one point today, new staff and for some reason twice now have had trouble with their coffee drinks, not sure why.. subpar twice in a row.. Also was sure their lox deluxe had something extra on it, but seems Im wrong? Couldnt find a menu so I could check that.Hope will be back up to 5 stars a bit later.This place changes from time to time but overall is excellent. The staff is kindly, attentive and they make sure you have what you want, if not they will correct it.My standby place for their tomato, avocado toast which is the best Ive had anywhere. Also love their bagel sandwiches and spreads, actually everything is good here.My one complaint is that at times their expresso makes me wonder just how low the caffeine content is. Tastes lovely but I want it to wake me up too.

Coffee was good and the place is nice. Comfortable with tables inside and out. Breakfast burrito wasnt very good, loaded up with potatoes and not much flavor. Muffins, etc. looked really tasty

I shared feedback on this Google review that a pastry was a little undercooked, and the owner promptly responded, and said she would work on it. I really appreciate her openness to feedback and her response. It’s a great coffee shop with a nice environment and good coffee.

2019-03-07 03:25:13

Nice staff, cool atmosphere. Seems like a family run business. It was the perfect blend of busy but still tables open.Coffee gave me instant jitters and a less happy belly - with a latte. That doesn’t typically happen to me so check it out for yourself. If you don’t like really acidic coffee I’d pass.

Absolutely loved this place. Great coffee and they were super nice to me even though i was filthy from my bike tour. Thank you guys so much. Didnt hurt that everyone was so pretty there too. Great music also. Wish i lived in California just to make this my morning stop for coffee. Thank you guys for everything.

Website advertised a drive through option for picking up coffee, but when I showed up to get my order there was no drive through and the staff was unable to bring my coffee out to me (so please be aware of this when picking up an online order- especially if due to potential Covid contact concerns you don’t want to go inside a restaurant).That being said, even though the above issue did get in the way of me getting the coffee I ordered, the owner was very sweet in terms of apologizing for the miscommunication and refunding me for my order when I wasn’t able to go into the store to pick it up. I really appreciated the high level of understanding and customer service after this mishap. In addition to their amazing coffee and pastries, I really admire that the owner is so empathetic, and will continue to support this wonderful business in the future!

I love this coffee shop! The coffee is good and the environment is chill and relaxing. Bottomless coffee is great and dangerous!My one critique is that they should start renting their boardgames. It would make this place an even more enjoyable place to hangout!

Bagels and coffee are great!!! Cool place to hang out too with indoor/outdoor seating and is pet friendly. They have several board games that you can play too. I wish we lived in a world where 1 Oz of avocado didnt cost $1.50 ;)

Probably the best coffee shop in Goleta area. Java station is located in a lovely location with a vibrant environment. I go there almost every other day to work on my projects, they have great coffee and many tea options. Furthermore definitely try their bagels! They also have very respectful staff!

A new favorite stop along 101! Wonderful people, great food and drinks, delightful atmosphere. We were stuck with our 5 kiddos in the horrendous day-after-Christmas traffic, and this was our rescue. Yummy muffins and smoothies for the kiddos and a heavenly egg-nog latte for me! Thanks Java Station!!! ❤️☺️❤️

Love the atmosphere but every time I ask for my beverage extra hot it’s still tepid at best. Today after tasting my drink it wasn’t very hot so I mentioned it to the girl who made it. Her response ‘Wow! If I served that to someone else they’d burn their tongue! But I can re-steam it if you’d like.’ I shrugged, said no thanks and left with my drink. That was such a passive aggressive response. How does she know if it would burn someone? She didn’t taste it. I did and I guarantee you it was not hot! It was warm. And it was a large in a medium cup with an inch of foam. If I’d wanted that much foam I’d order a cappuccino. I feel petty for complaining about a coffee but when I was charged $5.71 I figure it needs pointing out.

Java station is awesome, been a staple of mine for over 10 years now. I have probably enjoyed 50 bagels with tomato and lemon pepper over the years, and this was a favorite study spot when I was at UCSB. Some constructive criticism - the bagels used to be served toasted and crunchy! The last 5 or so Ive had have been sent through the toaster machine far too quickly, the outside barely toasted and the inside soft and doughy. Just thought you all should know that there has been a noticeable change!

Recently have seen some great improvements! I love a lot of the female staff as they are nice and friendly! Like the updates and changes to the cafe. I continue to bring my friends and people I know to your cafe! Good coffee and bagel sammies!

Review №68

Been going here for years. Awesome staff. The sandwiches and bagels are good but some of the food is a bit bland. The drinks are good, but specialty drinks like Mocha are sometimes inconsistent from barista to barista. This is a favorite haunt of the UCSB crowd so expect to wait for a seat during school season.That being said, theres just something great about this place thats hard to define. Good energy I guess.

Living in Santa Barbara most of my life, this has become my go to place for coffee, board games, and camaraderie. It has a laid back, friendly atmosphere. Theres plenty of other coffee shops to go to in a rush, take your time and enjoy this one.

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.

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. Cant 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.

I’ve been here a few times, generally for black coffee. I love the variety they have of this and the discount they offer for bringing your own container. I also love the atmosphere.On Wednesday, I asked for two, small dirty chais and a bagel + avo + cc. The chais were $4.95 each for a “small”— 8 ounces. I’m all about supporting local businesses because local is better! But unfortunately this was disappointing chai because it tasted like the ingredient ratio was off. I’ve had a dirty chai here before so it was just a confusing experience taste buds wise.Overall, I would go back, but not for a dirty chai. Also, you should try their bagel + tomato + lemon pepper + cream cheese + onion + cheese. Delish.

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!

Great espresso drinks. Classic style (what youd 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.

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 didnt see it.You can relax there....

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.

Very slow service. It’s good food if you want to sit down and have no where to go. If you have somewhere you need to be, don’t order food expecting they will make it promptly even when they don’t have other orders to make.

Great coffee, great atmosphere, open to the outside air. Stopped here during a vacation to a near by campground. Glad we had a quality local cafe nearby to stop on the way in and out.

Since they took out the old comfortable furniture and the circular seating area, its lost its character. Service is also abysmally slow, in fact three people had to swap their student IDs for AARP cards they were waiting so long. They also close too early.

My favorite place to get an EXCELLENT breakfast burrito in the morning, and then an EXCELLENT club sandwich in the afternoon. I pretty much dont go anywhere else for quick food or a drink.
