What customers say

One of two locations in the Santa Barbara area (the other is “uptown” on De La Vina, which includes their coffee roasting operation). Handlebar coffee is a popular destination for locals, including those who prefer to work in the environment of a coffee shop.

Very open cute place. House roasted beans. Traditional coffee and espresso for the true coffee lover so don't expect any fancy flavors with the exception of the house made vanilla. Seating inside or cozy outdoor alleys feels. Loved it!

★★★★★ — Andrea, 2021-09

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.

This coffee shop is one of the main reasons I come to Santa Barbara!☕️ The team is fantastic! It’s always a friendly morning vibe when I come there. Baristas work like a team and they have some fun cycling-style merch. The quality of the coffee beans is superb so any drink you order will taste great.
