Coffee Cat 3

There is often a line trailing from the register nearing the door for good reason. The manager has been long known to remember regulars and their orders, which makes revisiting this great joint a pleasure. I have actually had my drink handed to me already made as I reached the front to pay because I frequented this business most weekdays in high school. Wonderful food and pastries offered as well as special drinks with cute cat related names! Many tables in and out to sit and have a cup or do homework, chat with friends, or sit and unwind alone after a hard day, and if you grab a comfy booth you may stay late!

PROS: Easy parking, great service, wonderful drinks!
CONS: Can be very busy at times! Expect it at a great place!

This is the place for the good caffeine. This place has a great atmosphere to study, relax, or chill with friends. They always bake delicious cookies everyday. This place is located in downtown Santa Barbara so you can find parking easily everywhere, since there's a lot of parking structures available. The price is reasonable for a cup of coffee or a cup of hot mocha.

I really enjoy going to coffee cat. I often go there to meet with people. We can talk without interruption and sup our delicious coffee drinks too. The prices are slightly lower than at Starbucks. The ambiance is nice too with the building being located on a corner in the heart of downtown Santa Barbara, right across the street from the famous Santa Barbara Courthouse and the public library. The ceilings are high giving it a roomy open feeling and there are tables outside as well.

Coffee Cat gives you a free cup of coffee when you fill up one of their drink cards (buy 10 drinks and the 11th is free). Locals like the Coffee Cat very much and they have lots of regular customers.

Parking can be found in a nearby public parking garage with the first 75 minutes of parking free.

They sometimes have musicians playing music in one corner of the large room, a very nice addition.

PROS: Yummy coffee.
CONS: none.
