coffee w/ bailey #28: java station

on our way up to monterey, we made a pit stop at the java station in santa barbara. we had been driving a few hours and it was time to caffeinate ourselves for the 2nd leg of our journey. as you can see it is a very colorful coffee house. it is not in downtown and is pretty much off the beaten path. if i hadn't mapped it out prior to leaving home, we would never have just stumbled upon it.

these are the brews we picked. kona blend for me & daughter #1 and firehouse for hubby.

the inside was quite large with a beautiful fireplace to warm your bones on the colder days & nights. there was plenty of seating inside & out and lots of parking too.

bailey's favorite spot is resting on daddy's lap.

"time to go already?"

we didn't have time to finish our coffee there because we were on a schedule and we had to make it to monterey before nightfall. with coffee in hand, we continue our journey.
