The Coffee Bean - Goleta

We came here for coffee last week since we wanted to spend time here. We like conversing over a cup of coffee. We chose this location since it is home to one of the greatest coffee shops in town. I just think chocolate overpowers coffee, so you may mistake it for hot chocolate. It's worth a shot!

Currently in line for over 25 minutes with 4 people ahead of me. This is ridiculous. There are 2 people working and I do not understand how it could take this long..I haven't moved in 10 minutes. Each person is getting ONE DRINK. I don't often leave reviews but this one deserves it!! Do better!!! EDITED TO ADD: They were so slow I had to leave the line and board my plane. It's baffling how it could take 45 minutes to serve a handful of people!!

Miss having one near me. Great Varietie of drinks and good Pastries. Also has a nice seating area to hangout in. One of the nicer fast coffee shops in Santa Barbara.

2 regular coffees and 2 muffins $20 I know this is an Airport eatery, but I was looking for the table where I could apply for a second mortgage to pay for the breakfast... ...and the muffins weren't that special for what was being charged.

Arrive early if you want morning coffee. SBA may be a small airport but we have six flights go out between 5:15 and 6:30am on a typical morning so it gets busy. Other times it's a great experience when it's open (they've been closing during the day sometimes due to staff shortages) P.S. please be nice to the staff, it can't be easy making coffee for hundreds of cranky morning travelers in two hours
