Super friendly and fun vibe along with the excellent coffee and cold brew. I really enjoyed finishing my morning runs here and sitting down with a decent coffee which is not easy to find in the US!
Handlebar is top shelf in every category! As a full time traveler, I’ve sampled the country’s/world’s best coffee. Handlebar succeeded in bringing great coffee and superior service together. The staffs’ friendly greetings and genuine smiles makes one feel welcomed and appreciated. To top it all off, they offer great food choices as well!
Friendly and helpful baristas! Cutest atmosphere with sunny outdoor seating. And delicious pastries with wonderful vanilla lattes. Would love to go back! Thank you!!!
The place looks clean, and the staff is so lovely. They work so fast even when they have too many costumes. They have two separate areas, one outside and the other inside, and both of them nice. Their food is delicious, Especially cowboy cookies?.
Absolutely incredible two days in a row. ?☀️☕️ As a coffee connoisseur I rarely give 5/5, but in this case I literally drove 6 hours out here to Santa Barbara to try out this coffee shop again after it impressed me so much a few years back. Happy to say,Still phenomenal quality craft coffee and super kind staff years later!:) ?????
Hip coffee setting with spacious and well designed interior and patio, just next to state street, good coffee and ice tea
Had a great experience here two days in a row! No matter the vibe you're looking for I'm sure you'll find it here: quick coffee and leave? Check. Coffee and chill? Check. Buy the cheapest thing on the menu so you can sit watching other people's dogs? Check.
Great coffee shop with vegan drink options as they have oat milk (oatly) and almond milk (califa barista). If you are jot a coffee drinker, there is a matcha latte available and it is unsweetened by default which is awesome.
When we hired bikes earlier in the day, this was the recommendation for the best coffee in Santa Barbara… I must say, it was pretty good! However, my cappuccino was more latte-like. Not ideal, but it still tasted good!
This place was fantastic! Hand down the best cafe in Santa Barbara. I am definitely coming back here next time I'm in Santa Barbara. We heard good reviews for this place so gave it a try & boy it didn’t disappoint! It was busy morning so stood in line for 10 mins & waited for our drinks for 5-7 mins more. Drinks are $3 to $6.And it was worth the wait! Their coffee was amazing and the baked items were delicious. I ordered a double latte & it was just perfect! Airy, foamy & bursting with best espresso flavor! It came in their signature white cups.This place is very cozy & has a friendly vibe. They have outdoor seating too. You get a beautiful view of Santa Barbara presidio.We also ordered cinnamon roll, cookies & almond scone. We loved it all!
