Santa Barbara Hives

I’ve never written a review before, but this coffee shop absolutely deserves to be my first. My first impression was so different- not just in the food and drinks, but in the kindness and warmth of the owner and locals. You can tell how much heart and soul has been poured into this place, and once I heard the owner’s back story, I was honestly moved. It’s rare to find somewhere that feels this personal and this good. I can’t wait to see this place blow up — it deserves all the success in the world. My new favorite spot, hands down! AND It's right on the beach- any carp beach campers must try!!!! Lastly the gluten free pastries were god sent- had to make sure it was actually gluten free lolll. Ps get the BLT so yummy.

The best coffee I’ve ever had. Everyone who works here is so kind and I always appreciate the good service. Lots of amazing baked goods and some lunch items that are also fabulous. Lots of handmade items as well! Gluten free and vegan options too!
