Pura Vida Coffee Society

Nice coffee place that opens until late. Convenient parking through paseo nuevo. Downside is that drinks are on the pricier side, and prices were not listed on the menu. Their mangonada was a bit too sweet, but I liked their pour-over.

Great quick breakfast ! My friend and I went here and decided to go back the next day - so glad we did. The staff are SO friendly and it’s located in the cutest mall.

Hands down!! This is the best coffee shop I have been in. Reminds me my local coffee place in town. Service was nothing less than excellent! I wish I could give 10 stars. My family and I loved the Frappuccino and mocca, cashier guy with tattoos was very friendly, very polite, and one of the reasons I could drive with my fam for over 3 hours straight just to enjoy the place and the best customer service I have ever seen.

Came here on the last stop back towards LA. Was not disappointed by this fabulous coffee at all and the different blends and styles they had were definitely worth the stop.

Barista was friendly, the coffee was delicious and the atmosphere was relaxed and cozy. If you’re in the area it’s a great spot for a pick me up. The blended Black Forest and affogato are very good.

This place is great to have some coffee and hang out. Came here and had Cafe au Lait, the service was aweome and the atmosphere chill. Highly recommend.

It’s really hard to find a good study spot that has good coffee, good food, and stays open late. This place is definitely a hidden gem in Santa Barbara and has the kindest staff on top of it!

The customer service was exceptional. They made me feel very welcome and even gave my dog a “pup cup” a small cup of whipped cream. The iced Nutella late was delicious, and the place had really good vibes. Support local and get your coffee fix here!

Amazing coffee!
The place is nicely decorated as well!

Best cold brew I’ve had in California!

This is such a cool spot. There's an automatic pour over machine that makes the perfect cup of coffee every time. The staff are always friendly and the food is delicious! I'd highly recommend any coffee lovers to give Pura Vida a chance

An incredible coffee shop! I love the atmosphere, the aesthetic, and most importantly the coffee. It’s the best cup of coffee I’ve ever had. The staff is welcoming and polite. I can’t wait to go back.

This coffee shop has been revamped. Looks fantastic!!! The owner Mike is super chill and respectful. Great coffee, great environment, great service. And inventive, try the Crème Bru Latte if you want to see something cool.

Oatmilk latte while shopping was delicious. Even wife was happy, that was rare. Worth making a trip!

I got a chai. It was amazing. They have a cool pour over machine. Place is nice and modern. Lots of specialty coffee drinks on the menu looked really good. You should probably give this place a try!

Mike runs an awesome coffee shop here! He made a great off-menu Vietnamese iced coffee and was super knowledgeable about the coffee scene here

It is one of the nicest new coffee shops in Santa Barbara. Their Aztec mocha coffee and sandwiches are fantastic

Saw a report that the breakfast sandwich was good. It is! They even put it on a croissant for me. And the "scratch" cocoa is the best!

was had two lovely hours here with coffee and snack with very helpful staff who gave us some insider tipps to visit on our trip near Santa Barbara

Staff is super friendly! Lots of great seating. Breakfast sandwich was tasty and chai was nice and spicy.
