Stopped for a bagel and saw this coffee shop across the street. I normally order a cappuccino but wanted something alittle larger to sip on for the long drive home. Ordered: Gingersnap Latte (5/5) No extra charge for dairy substitution! Service was friendly but also efficient. Got my order quickly. The latte wasn't too sweet and creamy with just the right amount of ginger kick. No bitterness and smooth. The drink temperature was hot, but just cool enough to enjoy a big sip before getting back on the road. Surprising, the cup is also well insulated as it was still warm 30 mins later. Glad to have found a decent cup of coffee in the area on a quiet sunday. read more

The pictures on yelp make it look much cooler than what it actually is. I ordered a vanilla latte to keep it simple and sadly, wasn't impressed at all read more

Ordered a small drip (without any room for cream). That's my test on how good a coffee place is. And it passed! Robust, full-bodied. Not bitter. Daughters ordered the pumpkin munchkins. Delicious. Like a perfect warm fall dessert in a cup. read more

A cozy coffee shop in Goleta, close to UCSB campus. A great place to study but looks like seats fill up really quickly. I ordered an iced Kozy (pumpkin spice syrup, cinnamon, caramel) with oat milk and it was pretty good -- think Cinnamon Toast Crunch, but in coffee form. This is one of the drinks from their fall menu. There weren't too many people when I visited, so they made my drink pretty quickly. Would visit again! read more

Overpriced matcha and coffee. Pretty sure they're using ceremonial-grade matcha, which is a plus, but the mixing ratio was off--it just didn't come together well. Honestly, I could've made a better one at home. Feels like one of those coffee shops trying too hard to stand out, doing a bit too much instead of focusing on getting the basics right. read more

Really cute coffee spot! There's plenty of seating and it def looks cozy! I can see myself studying here. I got the iced Madagascar vanilla latte and I liked it. I love Madagascar vanilla but this didn't stand out like the ones I used to have before at another coffee shop in SD. It was heaven. But this was good and I'd get it again. Staff was friendly. Parking was easy. read more

My friend and I have come back a few times and their vanilla lattes were just not as good as the first time. We came back today and were severely disappointed by the honey vanilla lattes. My friend got one iced and i got mine hot. Mine was not pleasant at all and maybe it was the honey? But my friend's was awful and left such a bad taste in my mouth. Like i literally had to eat something to get it gone. Service was fine and the speed in which they got drinks out was good enough. We won't be going back though. Bleh! read more

Giovanni is the best sooo good love that dirty pumpkin munchkin. Ben made the best dirty pumpkin munchin.

Decided to try this place out since me and my roommate have been eying it since it opened! It was really nice inside and had a good amount of seating for groups or individuals. The interior had greenery and would be nice for a study sesh or coffee chat. The baristas are nice and our drinks were made quickly. My roommate ordered a pumpkin munchkin chai and I ordered a raspberry mocha. Both of our drinks were really good, but the chai lacked pumpkin flavor and the mocha lacked raspberry flavor. However, both of the drinks tasted great. The pumpkin munchkin chai had all the spices and was bright and sweet and the raspberry mocha had a really good balance of chocolate and coffee. We just wished the namesake flavors came through. Overall it was a good experience and I totally plan on coming back because the drinks were well made and I am very interested in trying other drinks. read more

First time here, I got the highly recommended, honey vanilla latte which is absolutely excellent! Definitely would recommend getting this if it's your first time and it's perfect over ice. I did get it with an extra shot of espresso and on Oatmilk. I would definitely come back and honestly get the exact same drink it's that good!! The name says it all. It's very welcoming and friendly no issues at all. FYI The vanilla is made in house. Fantastic! read more

Coffee is okay, just average. And customer service is booty... vibes are nice though, the ambiance is nice for a cute study date

If you want some cafe time in the evening, looks like you have to come out to Isla Vista. They are open until 8 pm. Yay! Their coffee from Morro Bay light and dark. I had the dark, of course, and it was fresh, excellent. Next time I will try one of those yummy sounding seasons drinks ( will be hard to choose). Great spots outside and inside to study, read, have a meeting, a sweet conversation, etc....very welcoming here. Friendly barista. One of the nicest cafe's....and again, yay! open at night. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE. It's so cute and trendy and the outside seating area is so nice. This is my go to spot for a blended matcha, make sure to add some vanilla because by itself it can be bitter. It's a really nice coffee shop with good vibes. The service is always great. Super nice workers here. Id recommend this place over other coffee shops in IV. read more

I ventured over to Isla Vista to give the newest coffee shop in town a try. Their grand opening was on May 19th, 2023 so I tend be a bit lenient--unlike some of my fellow Yelpers ;). You can't miss it given the white neon sign with "KOZY" in capitalized letters. The outdoor patio is just as large as the inside; in other words, not a lot of seating or space for people to work or study. I am, however, pleased to see a place that is modern and clean within the heart of Isla Vista. The dark grey tile with wood and a pop of greenery from plants = Adorable! When I stepped up the counter, I was in awe at the variety of fun syrups and flavors (.75 cents). Alternative milks are also offered for .75 cents (oat, almond and coconut). The fella at the register was very friendly and patient with my indecisiveness. I ended up going with an Iced Oat Milk Vanilla Honey Latte. It was not overly sweet, thanks to the honey, but extremely enjoyable and well-balanced. Their espresso isn't extremely strong or acidic but mellow. I was tempted by a Salted Caramel Oat Latte, yet thought it may be more enjoyable hot. I'll just have to return for that and their Maple Sea Salt pastry. Gimme sea salt anything and everything! Until next time, Kozy. read more

AMAZING! Might be my favorite coffee shop in the Santa Barbara area. The inside of modern and a nicer vibe than most IV businesses. I love the matcha. It is high quality, earthy matcha. Nice alternative from pre-sweetened Starbucks matcha. They do the matcha lattes here with an oat milk base. I had it one day with a shot of espresso, which enhanced the earthiness and was a great way to caffeinate. This week, I treated myself to their mango matcha! Now this was 12/10. Not too sweet, and that note of tropical sweetness really made the matcha flavor pop. They also have great pastries here. I had a kouign amann, which they warmed up for me and it was so gooey and buttery. I will keep coming here because I work nearby! Kozy is a great addition to the IV area. read more

Isla Vista has gotten a new coffee spot and Kozy... I am so impressed! Kozy is right on the money with their name as it was so cute and cozy for everyone inside. This is such an amazing find and I have to shout-out my student Adryanna for showing me this amazing spot and I will definitely be coming back in the future! Kozy has recently opened up and wow what an impression! I walked in to find such a great aesthetic as well as a clean and friendly environment. We were immediately greeted and helped and it was packed inside as well. Our Barista answered all our questions and was extremely helpful and kind! I went with one of their seasonal drinks which was a Raspberry Mocha and it was to die for! The coffee was a little on the bitter side which is perfect for my flavor profile, but for others I wanted to add that note in. Overall it was flavorful, bold and a perfect balance of flavors for me. My student ordered a blended Matcha with sweetener and confirmed how delightful and tasty it was! Overall this is such an amazing spot and if you are early enough a great study spot for students! They had a variety of baked goods and treats which I want to try next time I am in. Overall I was so happy to try this spot and had an amazing experience. As this is in IV, parking is little to none so biking or walking would be best. There are limited tables and seats as well so be on the lookout when coming to check it out. Best of luck Kozy and cannot wait to come back to try the other seasonal and regular menu items! read more

This is a gem in IV. Giving third wave cafe vibes in the heart of "downtown" Isla Vista, it's a refreshing sight amidst the dated feel of many other places in town. The feel of the place is definitely reminiscent to CAJÉ on Haley. Tried the plain latte to get an accurate gauge of the taste and quality of coffee and latte making at this establishment. I asked about the origin of the coffee beans used in the espresso but it seemed that they weren't too sure regarding the origin of the beans themselves. From my untrained tongue I could tell that it was likely a medium dark roast, likely from central/South America. The milk was steamed a little fast and didn't have the routine natural sweetness that arises from a properly textured milk, however service was friendly and quick. Will be coming back to try some of their sweetened drinks. read more

Stopped by during finals week, short line but moved to the quickly. I hoped to study there, but every table was full. The interior had a a few tables and they have a nice outdoor seating area as well! I got an unsweetened matcha and I was very pleasantly surprised by the strong matcha taste. I always order unsweetened matcha at cafes and they come back milky or still too sweet, but my drink was a good ratio of matcha to milk! Next time I come I look forward to trying their syrups with the matcha. read more

Hello yelpers : Hace días tuve un pequeño error en subir mi reseña del café, pero aquí va de nuevo. conocí el lugar hace unos días, me gusto mucho el sabor de su café por qué era cargado y su sabor muy peculiar, como saben me gusta mucho probar diferentes cafeterías ya que me considero un buen catador de cafés latte vainilla entonces, este no fue la excepción me dejó un gran sabor de boca, disfrute mucho beberlo, me quede con las ganas de quedarme a trabajar pero había mucha gente ya que el lugar era concurrido, pero aún así anímense a visitarlo PD comimos un panecillo de algo no recuerdo el nombre, pero pruébenlos se miran muy ricos y de sabor saben mejor ... Sin mas por el momento me despedido y les dejo de tarea que pasen a visitarlos. Si van pueden llevarme jaja saludos read more

My friend and I both got a raspberry matcha with oat milk each, and the two orders looked and tasted very different. My drink was bland and lacked a significant matcha or raspberry flavor. It's pretty disappointing since the place is new and their drinks are on the pricey end. read more

I have been coming here since this summer and have loved that they have outside seating available. The couch outside is a perfect spot to read a book paired with coffee in the morning! I always stop in and get a light roast in the morning and their filter coffee has always been on point. Service is always fast and reliable. read more

Super good goffee and vyebes. Especially from Katelynn and Sofia. Definitely get a coffee and chill if you're in town.

I honestly really like this place. I think it is just as good as Caje, if not better! I love how they have pastries, and I really want to try them next time. I have ordered only lattes here, and both were great. I like how they are a good amount of sweetness to where you can still taste the espresso. Give it a try! read more

Thanks to my bestie, I was able to find this great coffee spot in the IV area. Usually my faves are all the way in SB but KOZY has won me over. I am hooked on the iced white mocha with oat milk! The staff is always so friendly as they greet you at the entrance and service is quite fast. This location is so cute and has amazing seating both inside and outside to enjoy these hot summer days. I am dying to try their pastries but just have not had the chance to do so quite yet but they look absolutely delicious! If your in the area definitely pay them a visit and you won't be disappointed! read more

Cute spot in IV with a limited, but great menu. Their special, a honey, madagascar vanilla latte was delectable. Would re-order. It's a small location so you would need to time it right if you wanted to work/study there. However in the summer it was nice and open. Will return! read more

Went today for the grand opening. the workers are all so friendly and welcoming. They were able to answer any questions I had about the food and drinks. the coffee was very tasty with the perfect amount of sweetener. will definitely be going back, they also have some tables for studying. read more

The staff here were so insanely rude to me it's unbelievable. I've never felt so uncomfortable at a cafe in my life. The staff do not care about their customers and are blatantly disrespectful. The service would be more than enough to make me never go back, but I got a vanilla latte with oat milk (hard to mess up I'd say) and it was SO sour.. almost like the oat milk had gone bad or something? Maybe they gave me a bad drink on purpose I don't know, but I couldn't even drink it after two sips. read more

I was disappointed to find that the Matcha Latte with vanilla syrup had barely any matcha flavor and tasted like sugary milk. There was even a peculiar bitter aftertaste to it. I also tried the Mango Matcha Latte. I couldn't taste the mango and it wasn't even sweet. Similar to the other drink, there was very little matcha flavor. It was pretty disappointing. I thought the drinks were kind of pricey as well. read more

Delicious coffee plus excellent service. The ambiance was clean and so organized. I forgot the name of the Barista but I ordered just now at 5:15pm. He is too nice and have so much patience. In fact, a lot of coffee shops get annoyed when asking about extra syrup but he was too sweet about it and asked us if our coffees were ok. Thanks to him n big shoutout to him. read more

Came to Santa Barbara for the weekend and this place was so good that we visited again before we left! The decor is very modern and the ambience is perfect for studying. I personally loved the chai tea and vanilla latte! They have their own unique blend that works very well and gives you a nice balanced flavor! The service was also very good despite it being pretty packed the first few days. If you are interested in trying something new in IV and love coffee, this place is definitely one to check out read more
