Dean: A Coffee Shop

Good food and coffee. Usually packed with college students studying. You get a 2.5 hour WiFi code when you buy something.

So glad we found this place before our flight! It’s a short drive from the airport. Never had Aleppo until trying this place out; really added a good flavor to the brown sugar oat latte. Plenty of seating indoor and outdoor.

This place is awesome!! 🤩 Great drinks and a delectable menu of bagel and baguette options alongside fresh pastries. The caprese baguette was fantastic! I’ll be coming back just for that. A wonderfully crunchy, yet soft, baguette serves as a podium for fresh mozzarella and meaty Roma tomatoes with basil, olive oil and a well balanced balsamic. Coming in I was surprised to see a poppy seed twist pastry. That was a fun and tasty reminder of home poppy seed paste baked goods. A generous amount of poppy seed pairs well with the twist style flaky pastry and proportioned glaze topping. A great treat to choose when you’re wanting to branch out from chocolate croissants. This is a great spot with 2hr free Wi-Fi and light airy indoor outdoor seating options. Right across from the Santa Barbara Airport this is also a great place to sit back and watch the planes take off.

Love this place! Excellent coffee and food in a relaxed atmosphere. Plenty of room to sit. It's tucked in an industrial area, but just look for the cars and you will find it. A must visit when in Goleta.

Dean is an absolute gem! Great menu options, fresh items in the to-go area, & pink accents are adorable. Very spacious & lots of seating options indoor/outdoor. The employees were very welcoming/happy even when interacting with each other. It's great to see people who not just work there but are happy to be there as well. Very refreshing to see. Highly recommend if you need a coffee break, on the go items, or to sit down for a while for homework/meetings.
