We made a pit stop in here to refuel amidst a road trip. Very glad we did. The espresso has great flavor and the drinks were made beautifully. I love baristas who know what they are doing!

Very good coffee! They know how to make a cappuccino — perfect balance of foam and deep espresso. Clean and attractive place too. Maybe one improvement would be to have a cucumber or lemon water stand.

Wow. Really great coffee. Having worked in SF, I know a bit about snobby coffee folks and their snobby coffee joints. Green Star is snobby coffee without the snobby baristas and clientele. It’s on par with the other green coffee mermaid’s prices but the flavor is hands down better. While I was ordering mine and chatting it up, the actual guy who roasts the beans came in, got a cup and I was able to speak with him. Pretty cool as how often do you get to meet a person that«made» the food you’re enjoying? Not often.

Iced coffee is cheap as it’s $ 2 for what is about a grande size at Starbucks. I bought coffee beans(2 for $ 20), Ethiopian and Colombian. They only have a couple of brews available to sample so I just took a guess. I definitely liked the Colombian better. But I’m not a coffee aficionado. Mini-tip: they will grind the beans you buy.

We have been served green star coffee around town but didn’t put two and two together until recently that green star is the coffee place in the public market. We love their coffee! Our favorites are the Italian, French roast, and Ethiopian blend. We have a keurig at home, but love green star so much that we temporarily stopped using our keurig(which I love) so we can brew green star. A package of ground coffee(not sure if it’s a pound?) lasts us about 5 – 6 days. You can get two packages for $ 20 which seems like a great deal to us, especially because the coffee is not bitter and is not burnt at all. It’s very smooth and rich. Great quality.

Pretty slow service, always run out of coffee which means you have to wait 15 minutes for more to brew, and overpriced drinks. I could honestly go to Coffee Cat down the block for better coffee service.

High quality coffee at a great price. I had a café’ mocha and I appreciated that it was heavy on coffee and light on milk. After all, isn’t that what a coffee shop should be good at(Starbucks is great at steaming milk and adding sugar). My only complaint is that the baristas were so busy talking to each other, I felt like I was interrupting something when I ordered. They let me order and quickly got back to their conversation. Improve customer service for 5 stars.

Maybe I had a bad batch of beans? I came to Green Star almost entirely because the feedback on Unilocal was good but lemme just say it’s not even in the top five for best coffee in Santa Barbara let alone anywhere.

The best coffee I have ever had. Not saying much because I ain’t a coffee connoisseur by any means. Living in LA the most convenient choice for me is the Coffee Bean. Prices are good too!

This is the best coffee I’ve ever found in Santa Barbara. Everyone is perfectly skilled in making coffee. Almond milk is used also.

By far the best coffee in Santa Barbara. Nice, bold roast, organic beans AND they use compostable cups. So happy they opened in the market!

Comparatively slow service, but worth the wait. Love grabbing a latte before wandering the market.

* LOCATEDINSBPUBLICMARKET * this review is for their tea. we already had coffee in the morning. needed something cool and refreshing. they had mint tea and tropical black tea. all iced teas were $ 2. they brew it with stevia leaf. it’s so lightly sweetened that you can’t taste it. that’s good for me cuz i don’t like the teas that are overly sweet. definitely great for a hot summer’s day!

The coffee, service and speed of making my drink were all great but I wish they also sold food items. When I am in a rush in the mornings I like to be able to make just one stop for my coffee and breakfast. Other than that, highly recommended!

Green Star Coffee is the most enchanting, richly roasted, delicious coffee on this planet! Green Star Coffee roasts their beans locally, so the coffee is UBER fresh and aromatic! I have tried almost all of their blends, two of my favorites are The Guatemalan — uniquely lighter and lively, and the Firehouse — UBER rich and strong! I am a coffee snob, and I would drive from Silicon Valley to Santa Barbara Public Market any day for this coffee! Thankfully, I can order online :))

Best quality and value in SB! I work right across the street from the public market and checked this place out not long after it opened. All of their coffee is fair trade, delicious, and extremely reasonable. My wife ordered an almond milk latte and it was only $ 2! Most places up charge like crazy for special orders, but they really take care of you here. Also, the Americanos are incredible!

Glad to see they have a store-front. Even though the Market they are in is not easy to park at, their Ecstasy Tea is awesome and worth the walk from public parking! :)

I think I had one of the best Americanos in my life here. And I’ve had my fair share of both drinking and making coffee! The two associates working were also so friendly and nice, and I had a great conversation coupled with a great cup. I just had a fantastic overall experience here. Highly recommend :)

During my first visit to the SB Public Market over the weekend, stopped here to pick up a package of the Morningstar Blend whole bean coffee. Knew Green Star made good stuff from having had their beans at the Lucky Llama Coffee House in Carpinteria. Glad to have another spot to get their beans and brews. Support this local business instead of the big guys– you won’t regret it. Brewed our first pot with the beans this AM– not disappointed! :)

Lovely addition to the neighborhood! Their coffee & tea selection(ecstasy tea with passion fruit) delicious! Located inside the public market
