Dart Coffee Co
121 E Yanonali St, Carpinteria, CA
Crema's Take
“Dart Coffee Co is a roastery-focused spot where you can watch your coffee being made from bean to cup, filling the space with the irresistible aroma of fresh roasts—this is coffee transparency at its best. With a breezy coastal vibe just steps from Stearns Wharf, it's equally suited for a quick espresso grab or lingering over a meticulously poured pour over, and the outdoor seating makes it feel less like a caffeine pit stop and more like a gathering place where the coffee actually tastes as good as the setting looks.”

This was a quick walk from Stearns Wharf and our hotel. You can watch them roast their own coffee here and it smelled amazing! Definitely come here!
Wonderful coffee shop, nice people and of course- great coffee! The burrito was mostly rice, insanely hot. I’d probably skip it next time as it just lacked real flavor.
Still my favorite coffee shop when visiting Santa Barbara. Best vibe. Delicious coffee. Pictures are worth 1000 words📸
Dart Coffee Co. has really good coffee, and both locations offer totally different vibes. The harbor spot feels calm and coastal—perfect for a slow, relaxed sip—while the open-concept location is brighter and more energetic. Different atmospheres, same consistently great coffee, which makes it worth visiting both.
This coffee shop is on the corner of Yanonali St. and Gray Ave. with very limited parking. Adjacent to Tamar Restaurant, they operate out of the same building and share seating space. During my 1st visit, it seemed unclear if Darts' customers could use the seating space, so I ordered takeout. I had their 'Hot Latte' with an 'Everything Bagel'. Both tasted amazing! The latte was smooth and creamy with a perfect balance of milk and espresso. It's such a great feeling when the right barista handles your drink! The bagel was perfectly toasted, yet so soft inside with the right seasoning. The menu lists one price for each specialty drink, so I was not able to get a larger latte. I was served a 12 oz drink. I almost passed on this experience because I couldn't find parking and the line was out the door. So I got out of my car while my husband drove around and I waited in line. Surprisingly, the line moved quickly. Service was friendly and welcoming. The Café is cute, with a soft feminine aesthetic. Clean and organized. Overall, I had a good experience here and enjoyed every sip.
