Sugar? Thank You, But None Needed, 10/13/2009
Reviewer: Pedro
from Santa Barbara, CA
I tend to have a sweet tooth and like sugar with my coffee, until now. Had a latte at French Press and needed no sugar. For me that was amazing. Thankfully I work a mere block away. I was excited when Peet's arrived, but I am so impressed we have the French Press as it is that good and thankfully better.

Santa Barbara finally has excellent coffee!!, 9/29/2009
Reviewer: Jennifer
from Santa Barbara, CA
Wow! Santa Barbara has never had a cafe along the lines of Bluebottle in SF, Stumptown in Portland, or 4 Barrel in SF... until now!! Seriously, it is just TOO exciting that our little town is now home to amazingly high-quality coffee, espresso, and tea. Honestly, no other cafe offerings in the SB/Goleta area compare to this fabulous new spot. And French Press is a small, independently-owned business whose two young, sweet owners greet you at the front counter when you arrive. What could be better?

Sweet place!, 9/8/2009
Reviewer: Elena

I was there this afternoon and loved the feel of the place. The chai was delicious! The owners are great - helpful, friendly. They also have a cool shop with socially conscious items that I plan to check out next time. The atmosphere is comfortable and attractive. They have a small patio in the back, which is nice. I wish they could be open later in the evening but for now will make sure to get there before closing hours.

Soo happy I found a place to supplement my stumptown loss!, 8/20/2009
Reviewer: Cici
from Santa Barbara, CA
Ok, so I just moved back from Portland OR which has the greatest coffee in the world(stumptown, I was beyond ruined and spoiled when I came back to Socal to the dozens of Starbucks and Coffee beans. When I found this place I was beyond excited! Their coffee is the closest to Stumptown I have found(they even do the leaf)...sooo good and an awesome selection of teas...they serve the tea in a small pot and are not stingy about refilling with hot water. It's simple and really excellent! I love it. The only thing I would change is that it closes too early at 7pm.

Reviewer: Spencer

There's been quite a few coffee places in this location but none of them were really worth going to. This place on the other hand is great! Good coffee, good service and good sweets too! Perfect place to stop on my way to work.

I usually don't like spiced teas, but it smelled so good inside the shop, that I tried a chai without the milk. Yummmeeeee.

Wonderful new coffee/tea place., 7/31/2009
Reviewer: Ceci
from Santa Barbara, CA
This is my new favorite place for coffee and tea in Santa Barbara. Julia and Todd, the owners, are delightful, knowledgeable, and they aim to please. They are creating a lovely place with a very comfortable, and homey ambiance. Not only is the coffee delicious, they make wonderful designs on top of the macchiato's. They have great ideas, and will be introducing new items. I love it that you can have cottage cheese with fruit or a freshly squeezed citrus juice, and a nicely toasted bagel in the morning. Proud to say that I'm becoming a regular. Drop in, and enjoy. Ceci in Santa B

Great place, great coffee!, 7/28/2009
Reviewer: Alissa
from Santa Barbara, CA
I took my dad there for his birthday coffee yesterday and it was awesome. The people working there are very nice and the coffee is the best I've had. Seriously addicting. Very clean inside, good pastries. I had a vanilla latte and cinnamon sugar scone. My dad had a regular coffee and a huge apple croissant. I'd definitely recommend and will go back.

Good folks and good coffee!, 7/24/2009
Reviewer: Justine
from Santa Barbara, CA
I stopped in last Sunday afternoon, wanting to check out and support a new local business. The women behind the counter (turns out the daughter is business owner with her mom helping out) were friendly and helpful. As she was finishing making my iced vanilla latte, I realized I hadn't asked about options for low-fat milk, so it had been made with whole. When I inquired, for future reference, about such options, she immediately offered to remake it for me with either low-fat or soy milk. "This won't go to waste, believe me!" she said, holding up the first one as she and her mom smiled at each other. The coffee itself was tasty, with just a slight hint of vanilla sweetness added along with the soy milk. I will definitely return!
