    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

    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.

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

    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.

    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!

    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.

    We visited Kin Bakeshop around 10:45 am on a Sunday fully expecting a long wait, but were…read morepleasantly surprised to find only a short line. From getting in line to receiving our entire order, it took about 15 minutes total. Parking is easy with a large plaza lot, although seating inside can be tougher. It was completely full when we arrived, but we got lucky and snagged a table as someone was leaving. We ordered the Osmanthus Matcha Cream, Hojicha Black Sesame, Pandan Coconut Matcha, Vietnamese Coffee, Cinnamon Sugar Mochi Donut, and Buko Pie Mochi Donut. They also served us complimentary barley tea when ordering. Everything was delicious and absolutely lived up to the hype! The Osmanthus Matcha Cream was easily the biggest surprise and highlight for us. It was creamy while somehow still tasting light and refreshing, and we've honestly never had anything quite like it. It's made in limited quantities and sold out just a few minutes after we ordered, so I'd definitely recommend getting it early if it's available. The Hojicha Black Sesame was another standout. I've tried this combination at a few other cafes, but Kin does it better than any version I've had. Both flavors came through really well without either overpowering the other. The Pandan Coconut Matcha was also great, although I've had similar drinks at quite a few cafes throughout California, so it was harder for this one to stand out as much. The Vietnamese Coffee was solid too, but a little sweet for my preference. Personally, I think their tea-based drinks are much more memorable. Their mochi donuts were incredible too and easily some of the best I've had. Both were SO soft with that slightly bouncy mochi texture. I especially loved the Cinnamon Sugar Mochi Donut because it genuinely tasted like a churro in mochi donut form. Service was amazing throughout our visit, and I also love that the menu is projected onto the wall and updated as items sell out. Overall, Kin Bakeshop absolutely lived up to the hype for me. There are already so many other things I want to try, and I'm definitely looking forward to coming back!

We got here Friday around 12n and there were a dozen high schoolers (from next door) in line. We got here on Sunday at 9:35am (they opened at 9:30) and there were approximately 20-24 people in line. I asked a woman who was just coming out and she said she got there at 8:45a and was first in line (45 minutes before opening)! We had wine-tasting in Los Olivas to attend so we timed our return for just-before-closing (4pm). We pulled in at 3:57pm and raced to the front door just as the manager was about to hang a "closed" sign up! On both days we ordered the black sesame matcha. These are $7 and only 8 oz but heavenly. They were out of most all food items on Sunday but on Friday I got a couple of their famed mochi donuts ($4). Imagine a donut (as you can see from the picture, they are round but slender with "knobs") but with a chewy mochi-like texture. Between their unique flavor combos and that amazing texture, these are worth the wait (and I generally never eat donuts because of their complete lack of nutritional value)! But that matcha -- they hand-pestle finish all of their matchas! There's a large window (albeit with a thinly weaved curtain drawn) where you can watch the kitchen in action). The black sesame cream is super thick and layered on the bottom first. The drink comes with a long (7 inch) wooden spoon and you are kindly instructed to draw that spoon out slowly and sample the sweet cream coated in matcha, before ultimately stirring the drink thoroughly. The experience along with the very-lightly-sweetened, softly nutty/sesame concoction are divine... and, yes, the whole reason we raced back on our last day in SB to grab one more taste.
