    Vanilla Latte
    Danny W.

    This was a solid vanilla latte and definitely recommend you stop by to check out this awesome coffee shop. The coffee was smooth and the vanilla syrup was balanced and not too sweet. The barista was super chill and the atmosphere had a great vibe. Cool place to chill and have a cup of coffee.

    Strawberry Matcha, Cinnamon Roll
    Madelyn S.

    I saw on Instagram that Dune had a new strawberry matcha latte for the summer. It inspired me to swing by the Dune Coffee on Calle Real and give it a try! I arrived around 1pm on a weekday so naturally there wasn't too much foot traffic. When I went up to order, I noticed the display case full of some yummy pastries. I asked the cashier about the pastries inside and decided to try a cinnamon roll. After ordering, I took a seat at a little table. There was a lot of nice seating options! My warmed up pastry arrived followed by the strawberry matcha latte. I dug in right away. The pastry was sweet and cinnamony. It had a night lightness yet thickness to it that was really good. My only criticism was that the base of the roll might've been a tad greasy, but not horribly so. The matcha latte was yummy! It was sweet, milky, and had a hint of matcha. I admittedly couldn't taste the matcha much over the sweet strawberry milk but it was definitely still there. Overall, I had a really nice time at Dune Coffee. The ambiance was relaxed and the staff were very helpful!

    Matcha lemonade

    Love that they're open in Sundays until 4pm. I have been obsessed with the matcha lemonade since I first had it a couple of months ago so of course, I had to go back when in town. Service was friendly like usual, shop was clean, sadly no pastries by the time I was there at 2pm. My husband says the cappuccino is one of the best he's had. So overall, we remain happy customers.

    Came here on Sunday morning around 9 AM & there were plenty of parking spaces. It wasn't super busy, so we were able to order right away. I decided to get the iced vanilla latte and a croissant. I also decided to purchase some coffee beans to take home. Service was quick and the drink was tasty. I like that it was not too sweet or milky. I'll definitely check out Dune again when I'm in the area!

    I had an event in the neighborhood so was looking for a quick drink to wake me up. This coffee shop was in the area so stopped in. Shop is located on the end of a strip mall by a Chinese restaurant. Plenty of parking right out front. Drink offerings are pretty standard. A couple of unique offerings are provide in the shop: including a drink with tonic? I ordered a matcha that was good but nothing special. Although the swan decor on top of my drink was super cute! I think the thing to get here is a coffee drinks as they feature their own coffee. The environment is pretty minimalist inside. As minimal furnishings, the shop is bit loud. And it was loud with not many people inside. Not really a shop that you would want to lounge in all day, especially as I don't think they offer internet unless it was just locked down. Also a cup of seats out front. Perhaps a place to pick up and go!

    Stopped by to grab some coffee beans and was seriously impressed. The beans are a 5/5 for me super fresh and flavorful. The matcha was good too, I'd give it a 4/5.

    Small iced latte
    Divya J.

    Read some great reviews about this place but my experience was underwhelming. Got a small iced latte which cost $5.98 (I think that's a bit on the pricier side). The latte itself was okay but I have had better! The espresso didn't come through and had a strange after-taste. The barista also put too much ice in it. The decor is nicely done but most of the tables had stains on them and the whole place had a strange odor.

    Really great service, Lots of open seating here - they had some cute holiday drinks including gingerbread latte which was very gingerbready and sweet, the peppermint mocha was good but could have had a bit more peppermint flavor - the interior decor was really cute with wall painting and lots of lighting

    Eliza L.

    Super cute shop with good lighting, pretty fast service and drinks tasted good. Banana muffin was also yummy

    Mocha

    Stopped at dune for my last coffee run of our Santa Barbara trip! It was super close to our hotel so I took a walk here and it is so cute! I love how big the space is and the art on the walls is so fun. My husband got a mocha with extra espresso. Usually he goes for a caramel latte but they don't have caramel. I got an iced vanilla latte, decaf with oat milk though they did have a couple seasonal drinks that sounded good. The mocha was beautiful with the latte art. My vanilla latte was really good too! Did not have to wait long for the drinks, and the baristas were cool. Def a good stop in Goleta.

    Mocha and vanilla latte

    Dune came up in a maps search for coffee and I couldn't have been more pleased! Excellent hot mocha, chocolatey without being overly sweet. Fun vibe, excellent service!

    I'm currently sitting inside here doing some work. They opened right at 7:00 am which was nice. The baristas are super sweet and the place is relatively quiet which is very conducive to getting work done. I got an herbal and a cappuccino...both of which were spectacular. I recommend coming here if you need a quiet spot to do some work or just sit and relax at the start of the day.

    Everything bagel with cream cheese and an iced vanilla latte
    Vanessa D.

    Updated review. While i absolutely love Dune, this location has disappointed me more than a few times in the same way. My vanilla oat latte has come without the vanilla (or at least not enough to taste it). I frequent other locations plenty so I'm aware of the expectations of their drinks. I also knocked another star off because I've never been to a coffee shop that doesn't remake a wrong coffee order. The baristas squirt the vanilla syrup in my drink and send me on my way. I'm then left to stir it myself and sip a luke warm drink. So lame.

    Second cappuccino. Not made with the almond milk as requested.

Like many parts of Santa Barbara, the buildings are steeped in history and reflect the Spanish heritage of the city. I walked in my dog (they're dog friendly!) and went straight to look for the menu. My dog immediately found the bike pump and the snacks they leave for dogs. Service is super nice! They all seem very jovial and cheerful - making it a really nice local vibe. It was great to see the community in the coffee shop. Sadly, the coffee leaves something to be desired. Their menu is pretty standard - you got your flat whites, cappuccinos, lattes - and nothing special or standout from the menu. That's fine - you can still be a standout coffee shop with a standard menu. I ordered two vanilla lattes - one hot, and the other iced with oat milk. Unfortunately, I think my order was misheard as my iced oat latte was missing the vanilla. - Vanilla Latte: Fine. My partner typically orders this everywhere and he said it was fine, but nothing standout. 3/5 - Iced Oat Latte: Already mentioned it was missing the vanilla I asked for, so I'll discuss the other elements. They use a darker roast - thus, making it more susceptible to a bitter taste. That, and I believe an over-extraction or a longer pull made the coffee quite bitter. They also served it in the same cup as the hot coffee. My main issue with this is that I'm a slower coffee drinker, and thus my cup began disintegrating as time passed. Their cups aren't constructed to uphold iced coffee well. 2/5 It was such a prime location nearby the USPS and is sat in a great historic area. Handlebars has great staff, who clearly enjoy their jobs, and have a great community surrounding it. It's sad that their coffee is subpar. Strongly recommend you order your coffee hot, to drink in-store, or just avoid.
