This place is cute and cozy! The cashier and barista were so nice and friendly. They explained all the ingredients of the food items and made great suggestions. The croissant, empanadas, and coffees were delicious and the hot sauce made the empanadas even tastier! The back patio was also a plus and a cute little area to hang out in.
A friend of mine told me about Red Kettle and I finally got the chance to stop by. It's a cute coffee shop that has plenty of parking outside. When you walk in, they have lots of goods from local businesses for sale. At the register, they have lots of options including seasonal and regular flavors. For my first visit, I needed a little pick-me-up so I opted for Celina's Mexican Mocha. After a few short minutes, my order was good to go! I took a sip and it was sooo delicious. One of my complaints about mochas is usually they're not chocolate-y enough but this one was perfect. As the sip settled in my mouth, I got a nice kick from the cayenne pepper. It was a perfect sip! Overall, Red Kettle Coffee is a very cute coffee shop with some yummy beverages. The baristas were very kind and helpful. I'll definitely be back!
This was a random stop on the way back from Solvang. It's located right next to a gas station where we got gas from. They serve Mizuba matcha and I got mines hot, oat milk, and unsweetened. When we checked the menu online, we saw the peanut butter latte (peanut butter powder, agave, espresso, and milk). The barista let us know it's from the old menu, but can make it for my girlfriend anyway. We both enjoyed our drinks. They don't charge for nut milk which is what I am thankful for. They sell pastries and empanadas. Wish they had vegan pastries as well. It's a really cute spot. There's a little shop inside where they sell cute gift items like stickers, keychains, kitchen towels, cups, cards, and pictures. The baristas were really nice. There's a gender neutral restroom. We didn't get a chance to check out the patio but there is outdoor seating. Will definitely be back!
Quick and friendly service. Parking was easy. The drinks were good, really can't complain. I just wasn't a big fan of all the knickknacks they have in the gift area that have cuss words.
Small coffee shop in town. They sell lots of cute handmade gifts/items. Coffee was great. Strong. Tasty. Highly recommend their lemon blueberry cookie. Staff were amazing both days I visited.
The late has a unique flavor that isn't for me. It's a super cute place but too many pastries for my belly. I was searching for fruit with yogurt or an egg sandwich. The cookies look amazing! If you are into pastries and rich flavored coffee, this may be the little spot for you!
Very cute little coffee shop with fun and unique cards and gifts to browse. Super friendly barista. I got the salty beef latte on their recommendation and it was very good; not too sweet. I also tried the breakfast empanada and it was very tasty. Especially with Some hot sauce added. Enjoyed sitting in the cute courtyard, patio outback. A bit of freeway noise, what can you expect when you're right next to the freeway! Overall, enjoyed and will be back.
Loved this coffee! I tried one of the "Bee" drinks with cayenne in it, and WOW! It was so delicious paired with honey! We were delighted by the designs in the coffee foam! That was a nice surprise. The breakfast style empanadas were absolutely delicious. The outdoor seating was a very nice spot to sip our coffees and enjoy the fresh seaside air! We will definitely stop in again.
This is such a cute little coffee shop. The service was friendly, cashier even gave us recommendations which we loved. Their menu is a decent size for such a small shop. I love the choices they had, it was hard to choose because I wanted to try them all lol. They have a cute sitting area inside as well as out front and back. Mushroom and spinach empanada 10/10 - a MUST try. Tasted homemade. I regret not buying more. Snowman latte and salty bumble bee latte is what I got. I enjoyed both. Snowman is on the sweeter side and salty bumble bee is not as sweet. I will definitely be back!
The red kettle coffee shop is super cute! They have many pastry, coffee, and tea options. Also, there is the option to buy the coffee beans as well. They also sell merchandise from local artists around town. The staff is nice. Sometimes on the weekend, there is a local artists market outside the cafe. The parking is okay. Sometimes you are lucky and get to park in front of the cafe.
Love this local coffee shop! Super small parking lot only 2 spots and 1 handicap spot, but it was not busy at all so we got parking right away. The shop has little knickknacks and a free little library right at the front, which made waiting for the coffee fly by! The barista was so nice and both of our coffees are absolutely delicious! I would highly recommend this place, with all of their unique latte specialties!

This adorable little cottage had one of the best double shots of espresso I think I've ever had and I think that's saying something, because I'm from WA and I've had some of the best coffees ever in my hometown- tying only with Budapest. I don't know if it was because I was half awake and really needed some caffeine but this tasted incredible it was a perfect temperature, it did not taste burnt which many places do when you just get straight espresso), AND had fantastic flavor-- in fact I kind of wish I had asked about what coffee they used and I would have bought a bag of it, but I was already jumping on the road... Found this place by accident, when I passed through on Highway 101. I will definitely be back and if you're someone who is traveling to Santa Barbara, Pismo Beach or surrounding areas make sure you get off the freeway and check this place out right off Highway 101. Also the peanut butter cookie was DELICIOUS!! read more

Stopped by for a couple of iced coffees and was seriously impressed. I ordered the four leaf clover latte with Irish Crème, and my fiancé got the Snickerdoodle Latte. Both drinks were incredibly creamy and smooth, with a rich flavor that never felt overly bitter or overly sweet. The Lucky Charms had a fun, nostalgic taste with just the right amount of Irish crème, while the Snickerdoodle Latte was perfectly balanced with warm cinnamon-cookie notes. What stood out most was how well-crafted both drinks were. You could actually taste the coffee without it being overpowering, and neither drink felt loaded with sugar like some flavored lattes do. The staff were also genuinely warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in. Great service, great atmosphere, and great coffee. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu! read more
Quick stop, great place. The coffee here was really good. There were lots of drinks that were cereal-themed. The almond croissant was just as good as we heard. I also got a blueberry lemon cookie which was delicious! There is a little shop as you move through the line, so we were able to grab some local art. read more

Delicious caramel latte and one of the best chocolate croissants I have ever had. Generous with the chocolate and you can taste the butter. This was an excellent stop for coffee as we were passing through Santa Barbara, right along the way and quick service. Cute little gift shop as well with unique cards and gifts read more

Hi Vanessa! What an awesome review - love all the photos! We…
This place has to be one of the cutest coffee shops I've ever stepped foot in!! The decor is adorable and fun and I love how welcoming it always feels to come here. The drinks are great and so are the baristas! I would totally recommend this spot to anyone driving past Summerland or just looking for a new place to grab a coffee. read more

Loved this little spot! They make a matcha latte perfectly!! The barista suggested making it a white chocolate matcha and it was delicious! The empanadas were great, heated up perfectly and not microwaved like some places do when heating a pastry. The sitting area in the back of as adorable and comfortable and the gift shop had a great collection of local art, greeting cards and a whole lot of gift items. read more

There is parking, great customer service, and you can prepare your own coffee again! Thanks to COVID, mixing my own milk, sugar, and coffee together for the best cup was dearly missed and Red Kettle made all that joy come back. I tried the dark roast and enjoyed quickly paying with my Apple Pay card on the get in and get out kind of morning I had. I slowly peered at all the awesome greeting cards and momento gifts in the front and vowed to make another trip back to Summerland when there is time! The vibe is relaxed and a nice find for this beach time foggy kind of morning! read more

My gosh, I've been on a good coffee roll!! This place hits the SPOT. Out of all the coffee shops I've had in SB county, this one is in my top 3. I love the aesthetic of the store. They have gnomes everywhere! They also have this cute little card shop right as you enter. Perfect study spots in the back of the store/ outside. For drinks, if you like sweet things I definitely recommend getting the snickerdoodle latte! I also really like motion potion (matcha, espresso, vanilla)! Other popular drinks are: the ray of sunshine and the fruit smoothies! read more

Hi Chassidie! What an awesome photo you posted! Thank you so much for…
Stopped by on our way to San Luis Obispo. Quaint little place with minimal off-street parking and an outdoor patio. Inside had merch from local artists. Very eclectic selection of hipster knick knacks. Ordered a coffee and tea. Someone had placed a water bottle on the counter and the cashier rung it up with my order. Didn't even ask of it was mine. Anyway, I took it since I already paid for it. The person taking my order should have been a little more attentive as to who's stuff was on the counter. I guess it was an additional sale item for them and it didn't break the bank for me, but I would have rather walk off with stuff I wanted. I honestly think it was a water bottle the cashier left up there since he was stocking/restocking those water bottles from the fridge in front of the register when we arrived. I had a lavender latte. It was alright. Had a hint of lavender. Came in your basic hot cup. I didn't get one of those cute little hot cup sleeves. Boo! My drink was warm and not hot anyway. Overall, I'll have to skip this joint the next time I road trip up the coast. Maybe this was a one off, but it was off putting enough not to come back. ADDENDUM: So, after Manager Megan responded here, I thought I'd minus 2 stars, because clearly management has missed the mark. I don't drink tea while I'm traveling, so, NO, honey, it was not a Chai. You must have noticed the cup was dirty or smudged with something dark. I noticed that, too. Did you serve me this drink with the dirty cup? I don't remember the face, but I know it was a female. Good to know the spirit of management here. Definitely avoid this place. Whilst you think it's easy to be on the road and want to deal with someone else's mistake, it's not. The male cashier did look at me when I asked if it belonged to anyone in my party. Did he offer to refund or give the slightest concern of a potential mistake AFTER he rung me up? Nope. Like I said, I would rather not. Would it be easier for you to train your employee to not place the shop's merch on the counter and ring it up as the customer's?... but, you don't see me coming at you like that, right? I could of, but I would come off sounding like you. I understand there might have been a mistake that he may not have been willing to own up to, which is fine. He was a young, distracted kid, but the response from a "manager" to place blame on the paying customer is comical. Yes, so glad you can do without my business. Hey, Megan, you "always" think it's funny when someone brings up a concern? How often do these customer complaints occur where your shop rings up extra items for unsuspecting customers? "Always?" How likely do people complain on the spot knowing an establishment handles their food preparation? Pretty alarming you find it funny, and a little tone deaf for a coffee shop off a freeway to think tired travelers would want to deal with confrontation when its typically a beeline for the restroom and coffee. Mistakes happen. I guess being dismissive and presumptive of a consumer experience can be a management style someone out there in Summerland can appreciate. Why should my experience at this establishment be worth less than anyone else's? Looking at the demographics of this little town, I can see why Red Kettle management responded the way they did. I thought the management response was a bit peculiar. Thanks for showing your true colors, Megan, Manager of Red Kettle. Hopefully this is not reflective of the establishment, especially in California in 2023. I commend your awesome attitude in light of such shortcomings. In the end, the joke is the management here. LOL. Ciao! read more

Just started stopping in on way to work mornings for latte w oat milk. These guys are great. They're very cool and welcoming. The coffee they use for espresso is just strong enough flavor and caffeine wise. They are good with steaming the oat milk to a perfect latte froth. Love coming here. And they're a dollar less than all the other cafes nowadays charge 6.50-8.50 for lattes with oat or almond milk. read more

What brand of almond and oat milk do they use?
They had multiple types in a small refrigerator right after you finish paying near the cash register but I couldn't tell you the brand but there were a very many choices
