Santa Barbara Cider Company — Restaurant in Goleta

This is currently my favorite place to hang out, either on my own or with friends. There's always a great selection of different ciders, and there's almost always one I haven't tried. Their food vendors are always great, too. Ben, who makes the cider, is super friendly and always answers any questions you might have about it, and asks for feedback. The staff are super friendly, too - Kayla is really thoughtful, and goes out of her way to make sure you're taken care of. One night when my Lyft was going to take a long time to get there, Twilight and Alicia actually waited with me after closing to make sure I was safe. As a woman alone, I feel comfortable being here, and the atmosphere is chill enough I don't feel weird about bringing a book and just hanging out if my friends are busy or I need some "me" time. Definitely give this...

Had such a good time at this place! Jack (I think that’s what his name was) was super enthusiastic and knowledgeable, explained each cider well and had a smile on the whole time! There was 12 cider on tap when I went (amazing selection!!) and also a food truck on the property if you want to grab a bite to eat. I really loved the atmosphere and I would 100 % recommend!

I will say it’s a bit hard to find 😂 drove around the block a few times before we saw the sign! So keep your eyes...

Great selection of dry ciders. I love California. Most everything is dry and not sweet when it comes to wine and cider. Great staff. The apple pie cider reminds me of Fall at home. The peaches was delicious too. Parking was difficult to find as we are not from the area. Also, reccomend putting up a fence by the restrooms so people aren't looking at the mess next door. The cidery itself was a great visit and we hope to get back there before the end...
