Expresso with fresh croissant
Tiffany D.

On a road trip & needed caffeine! Great stop for some excellent coffee. Friendly and great parking.

Alex A.

Always on the hunt for the best local coffee shops when I travel, and Dune was such a great pick for getting a feel of the Santa Barbara coffee scene. I love the color pops, the name, and the font -- it gives the whole brand a distinct, fun, retro vibe. They have multiple locations and they're generally busy, which is always a good sign. I grabbed a matcha latte and my partner got a cappuccino -- both were amazing. Would definitely come back. They also sell coffee beans to go and have some really nice merch. A great stop for anyone wanting a true SB coffee moment.

Hubby is a big coffee drinker. We went twice is one day here lol. He ordered the shakerato in the morning, but the afternoon one was overly sweet. He noticed the quality of the coffee beans had a lot of flavor, weren't burnt compared to other coffee places he goes to. He enjoyed the coffee so much he grabbed a bag of beans to take home (the zip zinger). I ordered the magic bowl-chamomile tea steamed almond milk and honey which was very soothing, perfect for the cold weather. In the afternoon I had the matcha latte which was a great pick me up. Both were delicious. The girl taking our orderly was very sweet and welcoming.

Loved my iced latte from Dune! Very cool spot in Santa Barbara, filled with students on their laptops. The coffee itself was excellent, too. It was so excellent, in fact, that I tried to find espresso beans that they were selling so I could buy them, but unfortunately I couldn't find them in the store. Would return for sure!

breakfast burrito
Baran K.

This was probably the worst meal of the trip and frankly it was never where we planned on stopping for food either. I had my eyes set on a nearby bagel shop that we were devastated to find was closed on Mon&Tue which is how we ended up here. The breakfast burrito with egg, cheese, and bacon was so packed to the brim with white beans, making masking the taste of anything else in the dish and making it texturally overwhelming. My americano was also one of the worst I've had, with that unfortunately too common sour aftertaste of stale coffee. I tried a bit of the avocado toast which was pretty decent, nothing special and I got good reviews about the matcha latte. This is probably skip for me the next time I'm in the area.

Vanilla latte iced x2, iced matcha, hot vanilla latte
Ashley Y.

I LOOOOVE going to local coffee shops when I visit an area and I'm so glad I did!! The coffee is 10/10 would recommend. Vanilla latte-- classic done right, not too sweet, not too milky, perfectly smooth, and the espresso is amazing! I got the hot one (as per usual) and loved it but the iced is good too!! I'm always so wary of ordering lattes because some places the milk ratio is just TOO MUCH for however much coffee they put (or it's too weak or watery or something) and it just tastes like sweet milk with a whiff of coffee. But here, the ratio is perfect! Iced matcha-- Ehhh unfortunately quite terrible and watery. They DO whisk it with the brush and bowl and all and you can watch with the open kitchen concept .... But the ratio here is off and doesn't taste great. Super mild matcha taste. Almond Croissant-- Solid would get again!! Ask for it warmed up!! There's a parking lot and both indoor and outdoor seating. Absolutely would come again for the hot vanilla latte!!! They're a coffee roaster so for sure coffee is where it's at.

Refreshing summer drinks

I've been a fan of Dune Coffee Roasters since the early French press days, so watching them grow into four locations across Santa Barbara and Goleta has been pretty cool. Proof that good coffee and consistency actually matter. Ordering online is easy, there's a great outdoor patio, and plenty of indoor seating. It's one of those places that works for everything. Catching up with a friend, hosting a meetup, studying, remote work, family hangouts, locals, tourists, cyclists. Yes, there's a bike rack. Let's talk about the real stars. I'm obsessed with their toast and jam. Simple, perfect, no notes. And as someone who drinks iced vanilla lattes regularly, theirs always hits. Not overly sweet, perfectly balanced, and consistently smooth. Staff is cool too. Friendly, efficient, and never weird about explaining the menu or answering questions, even when it's busy. They've also got solid merch if you're into taking a little piece of your favorite coffee shop home. Parking is what it is. There's a small lot and a paid city lot across the way, which feels very downtown Santa Barbara and not worth stressing over. As for some of the negative reviews I've seen... high chairs? This isn't a restaurant. Hipster prices? Starbucks is charging over $7 now, so let's all be serious. Pet friendly too. Just keep your well-behaved, leashed pup outside since health department rules are a thing. Reliable, welcoming, and always a good cup. Dune is a staple for a reason.

Iced tres leches
Alan D.

The Iced Tres Leches was excellent. It had a rich, creamy texture and just the right amount of sweetness without overpowering the coffee. The espresso still came through, making it balanced, smooth, and refreshing. It's the kind of drink that feels indulgent without being too heavy or sugary. The café itself has a welcoming atmosphere, and the service was friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. If you're a fan of creamy coffee drinks that aren't overly sweet, this is definitely one to try. I'll definitely be back for another when I'm in Santa Barbara. They also have a bunch of different coffee beans to buy!

Tres leches latte
Katherine D.

Love the space and natural light. The atmosphere is so lovely and friendly. Staff were sweet! We tried the tres leches latte and it was really good. I definitely liked sitting here and starting my morning on a nice day with delicious coffee.

Cup of Joe and bag of beans
Cheryl R.

A spacious coffee shop with a pleasant and sunny patio. Service was a bit curt. Coffee was good, but the pumpkin spice iced latte was too sweet. I added some black coffee to lessen the sweetness. The coffee beans we took home are delicious.

Cappuccino
Alice T.

Great place to pick up a coffee and small bite for breakfast! We got our coffee and food very quickly. The place has a few seating areas indoor and outdoor. Everyone was super friendly as well!

Erica G.

Great customer service. I was in need of some caffeine after the drive up from Ventura County! I got an iced latte and it was perfect. I got my perk back. Great customer service and nice space with seating inside/ outdoors. The shop is clean and staff was friendly! I would def be back when back in town. There is parking but I believe it's limited to two hours fir customers only.

Presidio decaf mocha iced Cafe latte with whole milk.

Dune Presidio coffee beans are my favorite decaf. They make a wonderful luscious creama and don't give you the jitters. My morning coffee is the Zip Zinger which is a little fruity so you have to brew it a little bit longer and yield a little bit more than the traditional 1:2 ratio in order to get some more sugar and bitter notes. The coffee is roasted on site, which is absolutely fascinating to observe as you watch the little green beans go in and then the dark roasted coffee beans come out. Fresh green coffee beans are roasted daily and when I purchased my bag of Presidio decaf, the roasting date on the bottom was just four days earlier. The manager I spoke to told me that the roasting operation was moving down the coast to Carpinteria. And that this coffee shop would be expanding its dining area.

A classic spot in the heart of downtown SB. Slower service, but that could have been due to it being the fiesta weekend.

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.
