"Handlebar’s name comes from it’s founders shared love for cycling - they spent 10+ years as professional cyclists before joining the artisanal coffee movement! They opened Handlebar in 2011, providing Santa Barbara with a quality, sustainable artisanal coffee bar in an area of town that has become a hotspot for foodies. As with most eating establishments in Santa Barbara, they have a lovely outdoor patio that you should definitely take advantage of while you enjoy your coffee." - Amanda Proudfit
