i.v. drip
905 Embarcadero del Norte, Isla Vista, CA
Crema's Take
“IV Drip is a tucked-away neighborhood gem in Isla Vista where the genuinely warm staff more than make up for the tiny footprint and quirky vibes—you'll find solid espresso drinks, McConnell's ice cream, and an assortment of pastries (quality varies) in a cozy space that stays open late when you need it. The kind of place where regulars keep coming back not for Instagram-worthy aesthetics, but because someone remembered their order and actually cared that they showed up.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Open late.
