Look it up?, 10/26/2009
Reviewer: a p c

If you'll notice, not every business downtown has one of those 'no smoking within 20 feet of windows etc) signs posted. These are NOT mandatory, and Santa Barbara still allows business owners to make the call whether or not to discourage patronage from smokers, a freedom that benefits businesses like coffee shops, bars, certain restaurants, and anywhere owned by an individual that doesn't mind and encourages tolerance of others' choices.

Too smoky!, 10/25/2009
Reviewer: Becky

I could not agree more with the reviewer below about the ridiculous amount of smoke that makes its way into the coffee shop from the patio. I like the drink selection and the vibe of this place, but the smoke from the patio is too much! I have had to move to another table or just leave Jitters altogether because I can't breathe! Why make smokers sit outside if you're going to open all the doors anyway? They might as well be smoking inside. Such a turnoff!

Like the Place but they need to do something about the SMOKE, 10/24/2009
Reviewer: Disappointed

I saw that the review I previously posted was under the Java Jones page and it didn't make it over to the new operation. Since nothing has changed I wanted to post my complaint again in the vain hope that something changes. Below is my prior review.
If you don't like cigarette smoke this is probably not the place for you. Smokers tend to use the patio in the coffee shop right near the entrance. When someone is smoking, which if you go there often you'll frequently see, the lower floor fills up with smoke. For some like myself this can be quite annoying. The fact that they usually have the two large patio doors open with smokers right outside, often exacerbated the amount of smoke that freely flows into the shop. The bottom line is that allowing smokers so near the entrance is a violation of Santa Barbara Code. Below is the line of Santa Barbara code relating to restaurants who are permitted to have a designated smoking area. I'm not sure if Jitters has this permit, but regardless if they do or don't they are no doubt in violation of Sec. 37-5 (a) (1) (1) which states, "In the case of restaurants, smoking sections must be designated, the entire smoking section must be in the same area, and be located the furthest distance from the restaurant entrance, so as to minimize the chance of smoke entering the restaurant." Don't get me wrong i like the coffee, tea, and service but this is a nuisance to their patrons.

same place, 10/17/2009

I have been going to Java Jones on state for awhile now and haven;t notice the change of name/owner. to me that is a good thing. One thing that has change is the name and the daily trivia question. I still like it there and until they do dramatic changes i will still go there...

Sooooo much better!!!, 10/15/2009
Reviewer: Anthony Dickson
from Santa Barbara, CA
I am so happy that this place changed hands, it is so much better, cleaner and the service has jumped. It is not exactly a first class restaurant, but the food is good and the coffee is gooder. They are trying realy hard to be a local freindly business.
I loved it before even though the old owner had a bad rep, but now it is even better.
