Outpost Coffee & Kitchen — Restaurant in Isla Vista

A nice little coffee shop in downtown Santa Barbara! We stopped in to get a snack and ended up sitting down in the courtyard outside to enjoy the yummy coffee and sunshine. They share the space with other local restaurants/cafes, so there were plenty of different unique & yummy options to chose from. I got an iced caramel lavender cold brew that was fabulous, and my husband had an iced green tea matcha with honey. The staff was friendly and seemed to have some good relationships with regulars/local patrons. They had plenty of indoor seating inside & out. There were also glasses and water for us to enjoy along side our treats. I would recommend stopping here if you are in-town exploring...

Two friends of mine recommended I try my first-ever Matcha here at the Old Town Coffee, so we ordered the raspberry matcha. When I tell you, since then I have tried raspberry matchas at many different coffee shops, but none of them are as perfect as the ones here. It does not have a strong grassy taste to it, and they put the perfect amount of raspberry flavoring to it. On top of that, the service and the people working there are 10/10. Very friendly, helpful, and always down for a good conversation. Not to mention, the $2 pastry deal after 2 pm...it's just my favorite coffee...

I've only been here twice now, but this is definitely my new favorite coffee in the area. The quality of the espresso is incomparable to any espresso I've had. It tastes SO good. The baked goods (white chocolate raspberry blondie and the lemon poppyseed loaf) were super delicious, very fresh and good quality, and they are locally made in the area which is so nice to see companies supporting local businesses. The service here is also great. The employees and managers are very kind and caring of their customers which is something...
