Best Staff, 5/15/2010
Reviewer: B.Norton
from Santa Barbara, CA
This place has the best staff of any coffee shop in SB. Friendly and accommodating, blowing away all the other businesses (Northstar, Peets, Jitters, etc). The only other coffee shops that come close are Java Station and Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf (in Montecito).

Nice place, good stuff, nice people, 4/15/2010
Reviewer: Glenn
from Buellton
The Chai is good here. The place is really nice and fashionable. The sandwiches they have here are really high quality. The pastries really good too. The people are exceptionally nice and are more "pros" than novices. All in all a great place to go!

It could be a great place..., 2/19/2010
Reviewer: Barbara
from Goleta, CA
Great location, a lot of space, very friendly staff. Unfortunately coffee tastes awful (there must be something wrong with the way they brew it) and crepes are simply bland. I'll probably still be hanging out there sipping tea, but that's it.

Great Place to Hang and Grab a Cup of Joe, 12/29/2009
Reviewer: Jason Koivu
from Carpinteria, CA
I'm no great coffee connoisseur, but I've never had a cup here that I didn't like. The food has been tasty so far. I love the #2 crepe (chicken, pesto and capers). The only thing I didn't enjoy was a granola yogurt. The granola was soggy, but to be fair it was later in the day and it had probably been sitting awhile. The service is quick and attentive. There's plenty of seating and they don't seem to mind if you claim a table for hours on end. Laptops a plenty coat the room every time I go, and for the most part it seems like there's ample sockets around the place to plug into, with free wi-fi of course! Super place to study, chat with a friend, people watch, and generally just enjoy the beautiful weather...cuz 9 times out of 10 it WILL be beautiful.

Best Chai and Crepes, 11/6/2009
Reviewer: Nicole
from Santa Barbara, CA
I love coffee, but I love chai just as much (more?) and this place has the best chai. You can ask for "sweet" or "spicy" or a mix of both to get exactly what you want. They also make exceptional crepes as well as really tasty waffles at great prices ($3.95 for a fresh belgian waffle!)It is family owned and everyone who works there is friendly and helpful. If you're visiting from out of town this is a great place to stop for a snack. It's across the street for the historic courthouse, around the corner from the museum and one block from downtown State street. Note: crepe service stops at 3.

Friendlist cafe in Santa Barbara, 10/29/2009
Reviewer: Carrie
from Santa Barbara, CA
Great cafe, great location. Serves a fantastically rich, dense espresso (which I haven't found anywhere outside of Rome)in traditional Italain cups and saucers. Quick and friendly service, interesting clientele, great atmosphere, superb outside patio good for people-watching. Thanks, Coffee-Cat!

Fun site, but only fair fare
Reviewer: Clyde
from Los Angeles, CA
I've enjoyed the environment here many times, but the coffee selection is limited, the coffee is acceptable but not outstanding, and desserts are limited in choice and lacking in freshness and flavor. Very friendly service.

Great Atmosphere
Reviewer: ODOG
from Santa Barbara, CA
Coffee Cat is a great place in a perfect location. It caters well to those that work in coffee house atmospheres. My only discrepancy with the place is lack of sufficient table space. They should really remove all those circular tables and have one long table. Everyone can spread out instead of balancing their paper, books, labtops and/or drink on those tiny surfaces. Give us more table space please. Oh..almost forgot, stay open later too.

Reviewer: Michelle

I can't get enough of this place! The coffee is always fresh and brewed to perfection! The crepes are FABULOUS! Rumor has it they are going to start serving waffles. Can't wait! The people who work there are friendly! They always make you feel like part of the family! Keep up the good work Coffee Cat!

Ohhhhh Coffee Cat....*sigh*
Reviewer: Olive
from Santa Barbara, CA
I really, really want to like Coffee Cat, but I think they don't brew the beans properly. They use good quality beans, but it always has a burnt taste to me. I have tried the specialty coffees and just a plain ol' cup of joe, and consistently the coffee tastes awful. It is in a great location, lots of seating, I like the idea of supporting a local business, but I need to have something in return, like, GOOD coffee.

Go Coffee Cat!
Reviewer: Becky

Coffee Cat rocks! They have a good location, nice atmosphere, and good service. I like that they have frequent buyer cards, and yummy sandwiches and salads. They also make a mean spiced chai tea latte! Support a local business that uses fair trade products!

Don't buy corporate coffee!
Reviewer: Laurabelle
from Santa Barbara, CA
The coffee cat is where its at! They make consistently good coffee all the time and serve the most awesome crepes in town. The owners, Krista and Jason, are cool peeps who are struggling in this poor economy. Don't let them go out of business, becuase I won't know where else to get a decent cup of joe in this town! They have a great lunch special at only $6.50, including a sandwich, drink, and a bag of chips or piece of fruit. They also have some great bagels. I go there all the time and so should you! The staff is also cool and friendly.
