This is one of my favorites for coffee is Santa Barbara along with the customer service is out of this world. The girls that work here are always so sweet and so helpful with everything. I love all the bulk teas and herbs they sell along with the amazing hand crafted trinkets and many other beautiful items. Come check it out! Youll probably end up leaving with a fantastic cup of coffee and maybe even a cool gift for a friend (:

The best coffee in town! This coffee shop is absolutely amazing at all times, thanks to their coffee and service! I still drink coffee here because of the flavor, and the atmosphere is good. They also have nice, respectful, and helpful employees. Dont pass up this opportunity to drink delicious coffee.

Coffee? Check. Tea? Check. Gifts, chocolates, nice place to sit and sip out back. Its a local treasure.

Nice to have an iced tea made and sit on the patio in front, watching the world go by. Great spot. Always nice employees.

Great place to buy good, bulk, loose leaf tea. I wish they packaged the tea in a resealable container, but some inexpensive, small canning jars are perfect for storing the tea once opened. Cute gifts also.

I love their wide varieties of loose teas. The staff is efficient and nice.

An adorable little tea/coffee shop. For me, the greatest treasure here is the loose leaf teas. Im particularly fond of the Queen Victoria. They also sell coffee (not my cup of tea) and have a small shop with various odds and ends (see photos). There are a few tables, although more for chatting than working I would say. The folks behind the counter were friendly, and quite understanding about my indecisiveness about which teas I wanted. Also very knowledgeable about the steeping of my tea. I will definitely be returning, and I hope to try all the tea!

Cute decor, extensive spice selections, and tasty soymilk matcha latte! No wifi so no work here..

Old school service and unique flavors and blends! :)

A great neughborhood coffee/tea/gift shop with ample parking in the back, with friendly, helpful employees. The shop offers a small selection of unique gifts, cards and jewelry, and a nice selection of coffees and teas.I always buy something! The Obama Coffee Blend (Indonesian, Kenyan, Hawaiian) is delicious, but every one weve tried has been great! I bought the owners own Blue Kona coffee to try today!

What a great shop! Very unique! If you have a chance to get in on Blues (Owner) Kona coffee you wont regret it. Lets start with that part; unique. I can never seem to just get coffee (delicious) here. Theres too many great little shopping items! From mugs and tiny carvings to socks! Plus the staff are your friends, at least thats how Ive felt! So end up chatting and checking out all this interesting stuff...not your usual coffee shop!

Great staff, great coffee, wonderful items for sale. Always a comforting place.

One of my top two favorite coffee shops in town! Great coffee, great service, and unique gifts. And a large variety of loose tea to purchase.

Wide variety of high quality spices and teas. But also a cute shop, good for gifs.

Quaint little place with nice selection of teas and spices. Lots of other boutique items like greeting cards, jewelry and scarves from local artists, and coffee cups. Friendly staff.

I never think any place is perfect, but they serve good coffee and tea as well as many gift items though most are overpriced. The service is friendly and upbeat. It is a nice way to start the day.

Excellent coffee. Great ambiance. Friendly staff. Highly recommend.

I love this place for their cofee and candy the stsff is really friendly snd helpfull too!

Really good espresso based drinks. Fast and friendly service. Adorable kitschy interior. Whats not to like?!

Love puer tea there

I am a Santa Barbara native and have enjoyed visiting this store throughout my life. They have really wonderful teas and coffee n treats! My fave candy that they sell, apricot brandy cordials, love em!! I now live in NV and cant wait to visit Vices n Spices again, its like an old forever friend in my life!😍

Vices and Spices literally the best coffee shop in town. Not only coffee and great service, but real spices, teas, classy gifts, plus cards, and much more. They will even gift wrap a purchased item with great care adding special touches, that will make your gift look simply perfect. The coolest thing is no wifi access, so the lap top crowd can go somewhere else. You can have a conversation in a very comfortable setting. Vices and Spices is a one of a kind treasure in todays world.

One of the best vanilla lattes Ive ever had!!

One of my long time, all time favorites. Great coffee, tea, atmosphere and wonderful place to buy a gift or treat yourself.

Met a friend here for a nice refreshing cold iced tea. Delicious fresh brewed tea and coffee available. Also sell a great selection of tea leaves and spices. I am not a coffee drinker, but I understand that the coffee is good too. Good prices, very nice folks.

Little change over the 30 + years Ive been patronizing this local gem. I still get my coffee and tea here, and a good selection of my cup collection as well. Grab some of the Kona around the Christmas holidays, picked on the owners farm in Hawaii. It would be better enjoying a cup on the slopes of the big island, but not by much.

Amazing loose tea selection and spice collection. And wonderful gift shopping!

Coffee was so damn hot almost lost my tongue! When it finally cooled down it was so watery, eww! They have a nice selection of spices. Their Coconut Curry Nuts are a neat treat.

A quick coffee stop. Good service and excellent coffee.Parking in the back really helps en route to work.Nice selection of unique one of a kind gifts to pursue while waiting. (short)..

Good coffe, nice feeling

Only place in town to get high-quality, loose leaf tea! Amazing prices and you know exactly where your tea comes from and hows its sourced. Knowledgeable and friendly staff.

GREAT Teas!!! Including TUBER TONIC, an AMAZING Turmeric blend tea, by Mendocino Tea Company. GREAT COFFEES, too! And the best real people are regulars there. Some GREAT Treats ALL around.

Cute little shop I always come to for my spice needs. Ill occasionally pick up a delicious hot tea or even some loose leaf if Im in the mood. Kind employees are always willing to assist and answer any questions.

Quaint and cozy local coffee and tea boutique with a generous variety of unique merchandise for sale.

If you like flavor in your dishes you cook than youll love be this place. Sowats fresh herbs & spices. You can buy s little it a lot. Grest coffee too!

Huge selection of just about anything you could think of. Hands down my favorite place to sit down with some tea and a muffin. Great atmosphere and friendly staff.

Eclectic store that will satisfy your Java fix & your Sweet tooth !

Friendly staff and a great selection of hard to find loose leaf teas. I travel an hour to be able to go here every time I go!

Amazing place! Unique gifts, tea and coffee. The staff are warm and friendly! Enjoy. Great place to sit and read, people watch and sips.

BEST coffee shop I have ever been in. rare coffee and teas from all over the world. the owner owns one acre in Hawaii on the south kona district.sells it only in Santa Barbara between thanksgiving and Christmas. if in town, stop by. say hello to Blue Hal Booth.

Just a great selection of organic coffees from around the world and teas also

The best coffee, the best teas, the best saffron in Santa Barbara, great cards and gifts, and my favorite place to sit and chat about life with a cuppa. No wonder its been there 35 years.Small, intimate, tasty, the best.

They have very uniqur teas that I cant easily find elsewhere. The gentleman who works/owns the place made me an off menu assam iced tea latte. It was exactly what I wanted and it was professionally made.

Great coffee/tea shop with some pastries available. They also sell a variety of loose leaf teas and gift items.

Love this place..best Macha tee, great tee selection and while U wait, its always fun see whats in pop store

The coffee is the best in the city but they dont offer wifi, probably to keep the customer flow going through but thats not what one would expect from todays cool coffee house. Id also note, the coffee while excellent, seems a lot like Hawaiis Kona coffee.

Best little coffee shop in Santa Barbara. Friendly baristas, great coffee grinds. Gift and greeting card selection.

Cute little spot. Great espresso drinks and more teas than you could shake an infuser at. Also, if you need a gift for your mother in law, this is the place to go.

Lovely gift shop with great selection of loose tea and spices. Sweet place to have a cup of tea too.

Great coffee and tea, great gift shop, great bulk spice and tea selection!! If youre looking for a great coffee shop, stop into this small, locally owned place.

Best covfefe in Santa Barbara, and not super overpriced and served with a large side of attitude. Also their tea and spice collection is top notch.

I used to come here with my mom on late-start school days throughout my childhood.visited recently and Im so glad theyre still open! Great atmosphere, and everyones always really nice.

Such nice people work here, and I love that the matcha lattes are made with real matcha powder with no sugar added! I get it with almond milk, and it is delicious ♡

Loose leaf tea for days. Lots of good coffee choices and of course the large selection of spices. This place is the jamawama.

I loooove their matcha latte with almond milk. SO GOOD.

Hands down the Best coffee/tea house in Santa Barbara! You won’t find a better cup of coffee!

My absolute favorite place for coffee or a matcha latte. Love this spot.

Quick service, nice staff, sometimes crowded. Lack of wifi, which I once considered a problem, is now a plus....

Said they opened at 7 but let others in early and didnt have coffee ready. Granted I drink decaf, but I was bummed.

Very friendly and helpful my first time there.

Delicious coffee, no milk or sugar needed

They had all the spices I wanted and their staff was really cool. Also had a very large selection of coffee.

Great loose tea selection. Coffee is good.

Cute lil shop with knick knacks and any type of tea of coffee you might imagine.I think the AC was either not on or not working cuz it was sweltering in there which is why I only ordered a Matcha frozen Latte (which was legit and delicious!) to go.The barista was pleasant and there wasnt any sense of pretension here, which would be easy with a place like this.All in all, enjoyed my short, sweet, and sweaty visit. Will def check out more in depth next time I am in town and they have that AC blowing!

I love these people, seriously. I wish they still had sour cherries tho...

Tasty coffee and tea. Great service

LOVE this place! A true jewel!
