    Dart coffee has the best view in town! Located in the harbor next to the Maritime Museum. It's becoming one of my favorite spots to visit when I'm on my walks. The best time to come is during the weekday, because it's not too busy as opposed to the weekends. I usually just get coffee, but on my latest visit I decided to try the affogato. They had a choice of churro or vegan coconut ice cream. I chose the coconut. The ice cream is from Creaminal which is local. I have to say that I was a little disappointed in the way they served the Affogato. The ice cream looked like they scraped the bottom of the barrel and not whole scoops! Hence the 4 stars. It didn't look pleasing to the eye, but luckily the taste made up for it. They also offer lite bites and empanadas from Buena Onda. I haven't tried the food yet, but I have tried Buena Onda and I can vouch that they are my favorite! The views here are priceless on a clear sunny day. The patio area faces the harbor with boat views. They also have Wi-Fi here; which is convenient for anyone using their laptop. The only thing I don't like is there's too many flies inside. Mainly where you order. Hopefully they order a fly zapper or trapper, because they are annoying lol. Overall, this coffee spot is worth checking out despite the flies. Sit outside and you'll be fine.

    Loved my mocha. Very pretty view! It was a very beautiful walk from our hotel to here.

    I was so pleasantly surprised how good the strawberry matcha is here! Stop by for some caffeine and a beautiful view! The service was quick and easy also, definitely want to come back.

    I stopped by the Dart location on the harbor for the first time to check out a bagel pop up that was going on there. However, I figured it was a good opportunity to also grab a drink from Dart! I've been to their funk zone location in the past but otherwise haven't had the opportunity to try very much from them, so I was excited for this one. I asked the cashier for a bit of direction for a drink and ended up choosing the matcha sunrise! I only waited a couple of minutes before it came out. I decided to look for a seat outside and it was a particularly beautiful and sunny day so I chose a spot facing towards the ocean. I sipped on my drink and loved how tart it was. I got the matcha but with the citrus notes from the lemonade. It was a surprisingly lovely combination!! This drink paired with my yummy breakfast and beautiful view was truly a picture perfect morning. I would definitely come back!

    This place is tucked in at the front of the harbor. There is paid parking but also some free parking if you don't plan on staying long (and if you can grab a spot). It's a short walk and took me a minute to locate as there is another restaurant's name above them. However, it'll be hard to miss as this appears to be a popular location with many people visiting. There are many food options including breakfast burritos and pastries. The staff were very friendly and efficient when taking my order. My vanilla oat latte was good. Nothing overwhelming but still solid. The lemon muffin I got was a bit dry and not worth what I paid IMO.

    As a matcha lover AND a coffee lover, I approve! I ordered the strawberry matcha and an iced mocha and I have zero regrets. Both the perfect consistency. If you're looking for good coffee/matcha with a view, this is the place to go to!

    Such a stunning location! Beautiful views of the harbor, and the coffee and pastries were tasty too! We saw plenty of people working here in their laptops, which seems like such a nice way to spend the day!

    This was one of my favorite stops we made during our SB trip. Dart coffee was a quick and enjoyable 15 min walk from our hotel along the beach. It was busy on a Sunday morning around 9, and they were sold out of most hot food items. The line went quick and our drinks were prepared quickly. My iced latte was great and my friend enjoyed her seasonal strawberry matcha. The best part of this location is being able to walk along the bay with your coffee - a must!

    I was at the Santa Barbara harbor and was craving for some caffeine before lunch , so I stumble on this coffee chain shop and it's not bad. Good coffee, great servicer and nice customer service . If you had a chance to visit Santa Barbara , then drop by and try it your self. Yummy coffee

    So pretty and excellent taste
    Felice B.

    Stunning spot! What a view here. Plenty of lovely tables outside with full umbrellas. Great baristas Beautiful lattes.

    Cappuccino

    One of the best spots in SB for coffee! Their cappuccinos are fantastic, but the best part is the staff! Everyone who works at this location is so friendly. Plenty of spots to enjoy the view of the harbor.

    Chai tea late.
    Tina F.

    This drink tasted like cinnamon and water only. I ordered a chai tea late and it was far from that. I wish they would make this drink better for the price they charge.

    Mocha and an everything bagel with cream cheese.

    We had a tough time finding a place to hang out and kill time in Santa Barbara waiting out traffic…read morebefore continuing on to LA. We tried multiple other places that didn't have outdoor seating (so not dog friendly), but then we found Caje on State Street. It's on a protected set of streets where there are lots of shops and stores. There's common outdoor seating just outside the store, which met our objective of hanging out with the dog. Granted it was a hot day, but this store was really really hot inside, like unpleasantly so. I felt bad for the barista! The coffee is reasonably priced, all things considered (fancy flavors, Santa Barbara, crowded location) and the flavor was nice and not one I've personally had before. I asked to go light on the ice and they did a good job there. The wait was a bit long, but we weren't in a hurry, so it was all fine. Good place to stop and relax and have a good tasting coffee.

    We stopped here during our road trip, excited to finally try the Bella Rose Matcha after seeing all…read morethe dreamy promo photos-rose petals, a fresh strawberry, elegant glassware, the full aesthetic. What I got instead? A plastic to-go cup with iced matcha and a sprinkle of beet powder. No rose petals. No strawberry. No presentation. (See attached.) When I asked where the rose petals were, the barista seemed visibly annoyed and just said they had "run out." No apology, no heads-up at the time of ordering. I mentioned the drink didn't look anything like the photos, and he responded that this location only does to-go orders and doesn't serve anything the way it's advertised. Nowhere on the menu or website does it say that-which honestly feels deceptive. To make things worse, while we waited, two of the barista's friends came by and hovered near the counter like they were customers, but it was clear they hadn't actually ordered anything. Normally, I wouldn't care, but it was already taking 10-15 minutes to get our drinks and he seemed fully caught up chatting with them while preparing orders. I get that they probably had a crazy morning rush (it seemed never-ending), but in that moment he seemed distracted and disengaged and when he announced our drinks and I asked about the missing rose petals, it felt dismissive and unprofessional. My sister ordered a vanilla latte that had a cute heart in the foam, and my mom got a chai latte with cinnamon around the rim-it looked and smelled amazing. They both got everything bagels; my sister's had roasted veggies on it. I got a blueberry muffin, which was solid. The female staff were genuinely sweet and welcoming, so props to them for keeping a warm vibe going despite the chaos. The real letdown was the atmosphere. There was nowhere clean to sit. The only usable table was in the mall corridor, and I had to lay down napkins over a fresh puddle of dog pee just to sit. Every other table was dirty or taken. We were traveling with our pup and just wanted a calm, decent breakfast before another long drive, and this was not the vibe. The drinks and food tasted fine, but the whole experience felt scattered, unwelcoming, and nothing like what's advertised online. If you're coming for the aesthetic or a relaxing café moment, don't go to this location.
