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!

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.

We enjoy it so much, we always go back on the day we leave Goleta and get 1 or 2 per person for the road. Their service is very quick and do try their best to get their drinks and small snacks for their customers. We love their Taiwanese popcorn chicken, fried milk, fried tofu are our absolute favorite. They do need to update their pricing on their board, most drinks are in the mid &5-$6 range before any popping boboa are added. 5* for this joint, we would go there when we visit Goleta.

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!!! :)

Best matcha and coffee drinks I have ever had. You can taste the quality of the ingredients. Plus the mochi donut was so fresh and delicious! Pillowy soft and chewy. I normally don't get matcha from places because I'm always disappointed by the lack of matcha, but this place was SO GOOD. You can taste the quality of the matcha without it being overly bitter. And the foam they use is delicious! I also got the black sesame latte, equally great! The best one I have had. They have some seating inside but definitely not a place to study/work in for a long time. I would recommend grabbing and going. Go earlier during the day too so they don't run out of certain items!
