What User likes about Santa Barbara Roasting Company:

Secondly, silly thing but you have to check in BEFORE you place your order or you won’t get any points and... View all feedback.

My sandwich order was completely forgotten, which was disappointing. The staff didn't seem to care much either. It looks like they don't really value their cust...

Nice coffee shop with really pleasant interior and fast service, a great place to sit down and do work for a few hours.

I tried this coffee at a conference. I decided to order a 6pack decaf. It arrived 5 days early!

Santa Barbara Roasting Company offers a mixed experience, with excellent coffee and service as well as some disappointing aspects like burnt coffee scent and lack of cleanliness. Traditional coffee drinkers will appreciate their offerings. Despite some issues with customer service, the coffee and bakery items received praise. The outdoor and indoor seating provide comfortable options, and the variety of drinks and snacks cater to different tastes. Overall, while some areas need improvement, Santa Barbara Roasting Company remains a popular choice for many who enjoy their specialty coffee and pleasant atmosphere.

Roco is my favorite coffee place in town! The place is adorable with a great location, and the coffee is really good. I always recommend it to my friends!

It’s a decent coffee shop with two shops combined , making it look like a warehouse and a coffee shop, plenty of roasts to choose and pack or drink there.

I just wish I would have had a better coffee experience. It didn't have much flavor and was $6.00 so definitely sad about that.
