Super grateful that this location was open at 5am by the hospital. Although, I Really wish there was more 24/7 locations... Lol Was super convenient for me this morning since I've been up since 1am. Store is clean and modernized compared to some other ones I've been to. Only downside is that all the seating is mostly outside if it gets to hot during the day. Thankfully that's rare out here in Santa Barbara. There's also ample amount of parking which is always best for a Starbucks. Ha... also the young lady who made my drink and pastry was really nice. Can't complain! Will be returning! :)

Starbucks sad offering for seating De La Vina location  Santa Barbara. Forget charging your tech here.

This could be the worst Starbucks in Santa Barbara. This was a delightful Coffee Bean location, large, lots of tables, great place to meet. Now Starbucks has taken over it has all the charm and ambiance of a dentist's office waiting room. No tables inside, just a line up of chairs along the front windows. A few tables outside, but today it's windy and cold, so no thanks. No place to charge a phone that I can see. My order was ridiculous. So simple! But somehow the barrista didn't notice the literal lumps of curdled cream floating in the coffee, of which there had to be at least 20, some the size of pencil erasers. Moving soooo slowly, so she had time to notice. My breakfast sandwich was cold by the time I sorted the coffee out, and did not have the butter and knife I requested. Just a really sad experience. Upon getting a refill, I asked for dark roast and she proceeded to start some from scratch without asking if I wanted to wait or just have Pikes. I took the Pikes as the previous dark roast had been so bland. Girl was still moving at glacial speed, so took my sugar to go. Apparently, Starbucks is going for cold and unwelcoming in their decor now, to move people along. It's quite effective, I won't be back.

This Starbucks is great! The baristas work very hard. They have a good system. The parking isn't the best but it is manageable. It is about 2.5 miles away from the freeway so it is relatively easy to access. The store is clean and well stocked

I wish I had got your names but it was Wednesday August 24th at 2:30 PM. You were both lovely people and the girl that made my drink was amazing and friendly. The young man that took my order was the same. It was nice to walk in they made me feel very welcome. I hope you both enjoy your day.

Super cute inside!

Friendly staff. Clean shop. Very busy but you do not have long lines. Plenty of seating inside and outside.

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.
