About Santa Barbara Roasting Company

The Santa Barbara Roasting Company roasts Santa Barbara's freshest gourmet coffee locally everyday.

Santa Barbara Roasting Company Description

IT ALL STARTED IN 1989

In September 1989 the Santa Barbara Roasting Company opened its doors. From the beginning, the Roasting Company has been unique. RoCo, as the locals call it, was given to us by our customers more that 20 years ago, it come from the first two letters in ROasting COmpany. RoCo established itself as an organization deeply committed to providing people with the finest estate grown coffees from around the world as well as the highest level of customer service possible.

This simple idea proved successful. To this day, people come in droves to watch their favorite coffee being hand roasted in small batches and taste what most never have before, a truly fresh and delicious cup of coffee.

In 1997 RoCo expanded beyond the bounds of retail by offering our coffee to wholesale customers throughout California. The Roasting Company received so many requests for coffee from local restaurants, hotels and other coffee houses that the wholesale business literally took off overnight.

We roast coffee because we love it! At RoCo, we know our java. We roast the perfect coffee to compliment your unique atmosphere. We slow roast all of our coffee in small batches. We are considered a Micro Roaster, due to the fact that we roast batches of 80 pounds or less. Then it’s air cooled, not water quenched. (We decided to allow you to add the water when you want to brew it, instead of charging you for it by the pound, as many roasters do. ) Our five-pound, mylar bags have valves to allow for degassing without flavor contamination. This means more flavor and no bitterness. Of course, statements like this are rarely proven by mere words, so we will let our coffee do the talking. We are confident that you and your customers will taste the difference when you try our fine coffees.

We offer over 70 varieties of Coffee, ranging from Blends, Varietals, Flavored, Decaf & Naturally Grown Coffees. Our Naturally Grown Coffee line is the result of carefully blending varietals from three new directions in coffee cultivation. Each Naturally Grown blend is comprised of Organically Grown, Shade Grown and Fair Trade coffees. Organically Grown coffees are cultivated using no chemical pesticides or fertilizers. Shade grown coffees provide priceless habitats for hundreds of bird species and Fair Trade coffees are specially priced to insure a living wage is returned to the farmers and workers who cultivate them.

Was good 24 years ago and is good now. Good coffee, fun, neighborly and a place I would never miss. Always drop in after dropping cleaning or laundry into perhaps the most pleasing cleaning establishment to frequent, in the world, Ablitt's, just across the road.

Very simply the best in Santa Barbara. Best coffee, best pastry, friendly staff, great atmosphere,

This is a see and be scene in SB...grab a fresh roasted coffee to go and head up lower State Street for some great people watching!

Smooth friendly environment, accented with employee sincere smiles. Wouldn't allow me to operate the insane Willy-Wonka machine, but said I could return to observe them grinding, shredding, destroying, whatever it or who goes thru the contraption. Jeff Atkins took a pic of means while stupidly & in the danger-ZONE, fo-sho.

I'm a thrill junkie. That's right. Couldn't find any tiny little dots or hatches for Umpa-wumpas, but that's just the way they want it. Sneaky little mutant midges.

Oh, and hey, that far left corner bar/counter/whatevs needs to be renovated; more tables or something even more unique. Hopefully leaning on the crazy big vintage machine theme would be my artistic input." Pick it up & run away with it!" *Cat Power*

Santa Barbara is peaceful, but the quality luxury that is found in Santa Barbara, especially for visitors from out of town like our family, Santa Barbara Roasting Company defines the quality of the perfect life living near the sea on the ocean called State Street with the fine restaurants serving unique seafood dishes, authentic chocolate handcrafted right next door to the Roasting Company. How unique is that? What a special city Santa Barbara is. The mocha aromas filled with mint while showcasing surf boards on the wall with fresh baked pastries behind glass. The friendly atmosphere. We arrived from Las Vegas, Nevada. Las Vegas has many casinos, gambling destinations, slot machines, Thus those reading, relaxing, enjoying their baked pastries with light coffee, you must imagine how nice Santa Barbara is for us to visit driving in from the Mojave desert, especially coffee houses with such quality as your Santa Barbara Roasting Company. Less we forget to mention the shops only inches away from this coffee house - Maya Chocolate, Yoga Soup, D'Angelo's Bakery; Those places were simply one corner, one simple corner, of this seaside beach city. Santa Barbara is masterpiece.

My husband and I are from Colorado, but every time we come out to SB we go here everyday. Best local coffee in the area, hands down! Great atmosphere, too! ��

My girlfriend and I, had gone in a few times before. The scent of roasting coffee is an amazing remedy to a long day. We both ordered the Chai Tea Latte with Almond milk and loved the perfection of its aroma and rich spice flavor. Absolutely delicious!!!

My all time favorite coffee shop! This is a must stop anytime we're in Santa Barbara! Their lattes are always delicious and this last visit my husband tried a specialty espresso shot and it was wonderful'

I love the blended mochas and pastries! Their bagels and soft and delicious too!

Had a cup of their coffee two years ago while in Santa Barbara on vacation and loved it so much we have it sent to our home in Oregon monthly. The low acidity in the French vanilla and Hazelnut is perfect for my sensitive stomach. We buy both and mix them for a delicious cup of coffee.

Courteous Staff, quick service. I bought a bag of peruvian at a really fair price and found out the difference between Single Source and Naturally Grown. For sure next time I might try the Sumatra NG. Meanwhile, I tried a free hot small cup from a selection of coffees available. I had the Dark Tropics blend, excellent. They have a big breezy comfortable place to enjoy and super-clean restrooms.

Absolutely the Best coffee anywhere! I don't get back to SB often but I always stop in when I do come to town.

Yummy Espresso like it supposed to be. Also dog friendly.

*edit* well maybe not SO dog friendly, as we were asked today to leave, because we were standing in line for coffee and a woman reached down for our dog without asking first. Our dog began to bark and we were told to leave. Different staff today, though. As we were invited Yesterday ro bring the dog inside.

The coffee is good. No doubt. However, i did walk away feeling swindled. If you’re going to sell a bottle of orange juice for 8 dollars, POST the price! Selling an outrageously overpriced 12 oz orange juice (same price as a 20 craft beer at Petco) and not being up front about it seems like a slimey trick.
