Dune Coffee Roasters

This place is not to be missed, their coffee is well sought out and brewed to perfection literally. There’s somebody who specializes in pour overs and I’ve never had one created with as much care and abstracting the flavour from the beans as the person purveying mine. The location has an amazing vibe, the people are phenomenal!

Local cafe with crafted drinks and pastries. A common hangout for regulars. 3rd wave coffee style is the standard. Servuce is prompt and speedy. The layout is simple with outdoor and indoor tables. As usual an ideal place to work or meet up for a cup of coffee.

My daily cup since 2009. They always seem to be looking for improvement even while they are the best.

I’ve been trying espressos all across the Santa Barbara and Montecito area, this is the best one I’ve found and the first one I’ve found that comes with sparkling water. The shop is very cute, my son loved the bean muffin and my wife enjoyed her unsweetened matcha. Will come back. Could easily be a regular here.

Great place for studying/working, and a popular spot to go to. Staff was very friendly, didn’t personally talk to them but I did see a some baristas making conversations with locals, very nice to see. Music was good for vibing with personally, lots of Taylor Swift. There are bathrooms, water cups, plenty of seating and wifi available for customers. I got a large Vanilla Latte and I recommend: I will probably come back some time!

This was my 1st time visiting Dune, I was visiting from another state, staff was extremely friendly, nice, and very helping. I could not decide what I wanted so they recommended the Almond Croissant and a cappuccino. Both were phenomenal. The croissant was so good I had to order another. Def will be returning when I head back to Santa Barbara.

Unfortunately Dune has gotten greedy. Prices have sky rocketed. I have been a regular customer of beans for a few years and the price just keeps going up. 3 weeks ago I purchased beans for $47. I walk in yesterday and I’ve been informed that prices have increased to $57. I’m happily shifting my support for other, less greedy coffee shops

"DUNE: what they don't do," is the brand of service we can expect from over there at that coffee house. A self refuting business model that doesn't generate the necessary revenue to cover overhead for payroll rent utilities and insurance, it's 'the invisible cup and the invisible tea' kind of place for product and service. Names like, "Mal," "Meredith," "Sadie" and "Kiera" confront clientele as operatives; and it doesn't matter how much is tipped, they're just not here for that, whatever it is. Strange situation indeed.
