Old Town Coffee — Restaurant in Goleta

Came in here for the first time and was ready to find a new coffee spot considering all the good reviews I’ve read on here but was shocked at how I was treated. I have worked customer service for 6+ years and always have the upmost respect and kindness when visiting new places, but was uncomfortable when I wasn’t even greeted. Rather I felt rushed to order seconds after coming in and felt completely ignored. I just brushed this off and thought hey maybe she was just having a bad day, but as i stood there waiting for my coffee I saw their attitude completely change when a white woman began to order…. Never in my life have I experienced any form of discrimination and I thought maybe I was overthinking. However after reading some reviews on here and also bringing this up to some of my friends and coworkers most of them can attest and agreed that they have also experienced similar experiences! I am utterly disgusted and disappointed that places and people like this exist. My advice to anyone considering visiting this spot, not only is this place racist but the coffee was also mediocre. Additionally, after reading the reviews and responses, the owners seem extremely incompetent and unable to take accountability. Definitely not a good look. I would definitely recommend another local...

I got a cortado (50:50 Espresso:Milk). Their baristas are trained and they know what they are doing. They’re not undergrad students, they’re actual baristas (this isn’t Dune). They gave me a perfectly balanced espresso shot with perfectly silky milk. Even the art was awesome and this is an 80-100 mL drink (that’s hard). Solid 5/5 Espresso drinks. They are the definition of a great chocolaty coffee. The roast was a little too chocolaty for a cortado to my taste (COMPLETELY SUBJECTIVE, their shots may fit a cappuccino or a latte better to my taste). The barista is extremely experienced and he pulled a 10/10 shot. I would love to try other espresso roasts from them but unfortunately I only saw one espresso bag for sale (which I bought instantly). I would love to see the owner getting creative and taking more risks on flavor. I would love to see them expressing either more earthy, or fruity flavors in other roasts being sold on the side or as special editions. They are simply too good to not visit and they are too good to mess up a drink by under or over extracting it. The...
