Little King Coffee is a family-owned coffeehouse in Santa Barbara County. We prioritize creating welcoming spaces for both our customers and staff, and we bake, brew and pour with the intention of excellence.
We set out to create the kind of place that people are delighted to discover — a space that feels like it was made just for you, whether you're grabbing a quick espresso or settling in for the morning.
We met while opening a restaurant in Austin, Texas in 2015. Over the next decade, we managed fine dining establishments across Texas and California, honing our craft and deepening our commitment to hospitality.
Ryan and Grace developed their passion for coffee while working evening shifts at restaurants. That love evolved into a dream: to bring restaurant-industry hospitality to everyday community interactions — to your morning coffee.
Our beans are roasted by Coastal Coffee Collective, a family-owned roastery in Ventura, California, specializing in global bean sourcing and intentional roasting practices. Every cup reflects the care that goes into selecting and roasting each batch.
