Muddy Waters Coffee House

This funky little coffee house is a find! Only locals and in-the-know travelers visit this bohemian hideout a few blocks off bustling State Street in Santa Barbara. During the day, it's the perfect place to grab some caffeine and do some studying or chat with friends. There are indoor lounge areas and outdoor spaces, too. At night, there are frequent art shows and live bands. In addition to coffee and pastries, Muddy Waters Coffee House also serves sandwiches, salads and... beer! It's a comfy spot for intellectual and artistic exchanges. Free parking on the street out front. Capacity is limited to 150 people, so it makes for an intimate show atmosphere.
