Handlebar Coffee Roasters

128 E Canon Perdido St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101, USA

Former professional cyclists, Aaron Olson and Kim Anderson settled in Santa Barbara after attending a barista school in Portland, Oregon, where they gained specialty coffee and latte art skills. They bought a vintage German-built roaster and opened Handlebar Coffee Roasters (they roast beans in-house Mondays and Thursdays) in 2011. Pop in for a creamy cappuccino, cold brew or an iced almond milk latte and you’ll probably be surrounded by cyclists—Handlebar is the go-to rest stop for riders and groups out for a spin.
