Good Hot Cocoa, Donut and Bagel Sandwich. Had a college girl working when I went who was nice. I could see how they might get backed up with just one person though.

Coffee and Ice cream, 3/18/2009
Reviewer: Mike
from Santa Barbara, CA
I went into IV drip for the first time yesterday and had some ice cream and ordered some coffee. The price outside said "happy hour $1 coffee" I went in to order and there was only 1 employee there, he was about 50 years old. i ordered and waited about 5 minutes for him to get my order. the ice cream was a dollar and the coffee was about 3 and they charged me .50 for using credit. The man wasn't very friendly maybe in a bad mood from having no customers. There was no free wifi available like it said in the store window apparently it was broken. The tables were dirty and I will not go there again.

For those sugar cravings....
Reviewer: Julia
from Santa Barbara California
I love it how you can get three day-old donuts for only a dollar! I think they still taste absolutely delicious, and you get to have THREE! yay. I sometimes get uncontrollable cravings for donuts, and Iv Drip hits the spot! Their cookies are yummy too. And everytime I've gone in, they have been very friendly and helpful.

IV DRIP 4 SURVIVAL!
Reviewer: Rachel
from Santa Barbara
IV Drip kept me alive during winter quarter last year. I HIGHLY recommend the "Sex on the Beach" smoothie, it is amazing. That and a doughnut and I'm all set! Definitely has great atmosphere, so what if they charge a little more? If you don't like it, we don't want you there anyway!

Reviewer: Jean

You guys should have some T shirts made up. You have such a great name. I've heard a number of people talk about how they'd love to purchase one.

Starbucks-caliber
Reviewer: James E
from Santa Barbara
Their espresso machine is one of those horrible fully automatic Starbucks-y ones and tastes horrible. Also the person below who hates using cash and thinks Starbucks doesn't charge for use of cards is wrong, at least about the one in IV.

FroYo!!
Reviewer: Danielle
from Goleta
The Drip is THE place to go for FroYo in IV. They only have two flavors at a time, but the fresh fruit toppings make it worth your while. Fresh bananas, strawberries, pineapple, etc.
They also have freshly made Otis Spunkmeyer cookies!
Down side: the under-$5-credit-card tax. They don't take UCSB discount cards...

service charge!?
Reviewer: Christo
from Isla Vista, CA
I really enjoy this place, I like their selection of coffee and croissants (yummy with turkey and cheese). My complaint is the $0.42 service charge for using a credit card. Considering my average order is $5, thats nearly a 10% added tax! And this is the main reason I go somewhere else for breakfast, I never carry cash (who does anymore?) and I just don't feel right about paying extra for using a credit card (especially when most places don't charge extra either *starbucks*).

COOKIEIWICH!!!!!
Reviewer: Anna
from Isla Vista, Ca
Oh man, this is one the best places for ice cream in IV. It's cheap and yummy. The cookiewiches are the best because the cookies are freshly baked and you can choose any flavor of DREYER'S ice cream. Apparently the price wsa only $1.00 during the summer, but currently it is $1.75 and still inexpensive.

Not just their coffee...
Reviewer: C.S.
from Goleta, CA
Only place in IV where they have ice cream sandwiches custom-made, right in front of you... for only $1.75!!!! You get to select two cookies and a whole scoop of ice cream flavor out of the wide selections they have. Where else can you get this kinda deal???

Coffee Cups / IV Drips
Reviewer: Tiff
from Isla Vista, CA
The only complaint I have about Cups, excuse me, IV Drips is the change of names. I loved sayin' "Hey let's go to Cups", but now I can't bring myself to say "Let's go to Drips". But, you gotta do what you gotta do.
Anyway, this place has everything that IV was lackin'. There's ice cream, AMAZING bagels, fresh croissants every morning, donuts, and coffee. I used to go to Starbucks every morning and that was costin' me at least $2.90. Now I go to I.V. Drips and get coffee AND a bagel for less than that. (A little more if you get cream cheese) There are MANY choices of croissants, plain, chocolate, strawberry, cream cheese, apple, ham and cheese...just depends what they have left.
The guy who owns it is amazingly nice. Always makes chit chat, and the rest of the workers are the friendliest of friendly college students. Oh, and he also (I believe, on purpose) gets his change in 2 dollar bills, one dollar coins, and 50 cent coins aka JFK Half Dollar. That alone is fun.
I recommend vanilla nut coffee, the bagels, the croissants (especially warmed up), or the smoothies. Specifically, the mango strawberry raspberry smoothie in pineapple juice.
Make sure to go in the morning if you want a bagel or croissant as it's pretty much obliterated by the night time.
I hope it stays around a long time. One of my favorite Isla Vista places to open since I've been a student.
