Not sure the true comfiest but Handlebar on Canon Perdido has a sofa and a couple plusher chairs

2nd for this

Java Station has comfy seats but terrible coffee

Lol. I didn't think their coffee was bad necessary but it wasn't anything to write home about. Haven't been there in a year and a half tho. Was a cute date spot and a good place to study during my UCSB years

Caje's Arlington location has some sofas and comfy club chairs (and great coffee beverages, and a hojicha latte which is so hard to find!)

I think Elsie’s serves coffee in the morning and is really comfy

I'm so happy Elsie's is still open! Def going back when I visit SB next year. Love that they have the actually fast mrs. Pacman

I really can’t stand modern coffee shops. I miss 90s coffee shops with all the comfy vibes and pretty art.

The new darts couches

Old town coffee in Goleta has some cushioned seats I think

Most hotel lobbies have very comfortable seating. Great Wi-Fi and clean restrooms

I miss goleta coffee 😭

Caje on Haley has a few couches that are nice
