Green Star Coffee Roastery

Ted Ross 4 months ago

We love Green Star Coffee! We order pouches of their delicious Ethiopian Yirgacheffe every eight weeks or so. Our online orders are fulfilled efficiently and without delay. These beans are roasted to perfection and the price/value can't be beat even with the small delivery charge. Plus, we feel good supporting a locally owned business - and don't see ourselves buying a bag of beans in the supermarket or at any of the large coffee chains ever again.

This is the best coffee in Santa Barbara and some of the best I have tried in the world. And they have by far the best decaf you can find, you can’t even tell it’s decaf, it’s just great coffee. Love the firehouse roast, and love how kind and helpful the owner is. Definitely support this local spot. I had to leave Santa Barbara four years ago but there’s still no other place I get my beans from. Have lived in three different states now, but I always look forward to my order from Green Star in the mail. Keep up the good work!

I just bought a couple of pounds of whole beans from this establishment. Based on all the reviews I've read, the beans will result in good coffee and be worth the pain of dealing with this place. It's hard to find. I found it, though, and stood outside a small door that warned "employees only." An employee saw me and asked if he could help me. I walked in and told him what I was looking for. He was affable enough but not particularly customer-service oriented. Another person appeared and berated me for walking in the wrong door. I walked out and all the way around the commercial building and found the right door (which is about as inviting as the place you talk to a relative who is in jail). Through the plexiglass, I completed the extraordinarily expensive coffee bean purchase. Hope it was all worth it.

Professional place. Been a barista in Kauai for 5 years at a cafe where you get to know the source/ roaster and it inspired me to always try roasters in west coast. So far this place wins for price and quality. Tried many places between Seattle and SD. So far only tried the lightest and the Italian. But wow. Bean is obviously freshly roasted with consistent color and size throughout (no pieces). They have a wide variety of high quality ORGANIC and FRESH ROASTED coffee at a killer price. Highly recommend, it beats my local goto place where many swear by them. Will return.
