Dune Coffee Roasters began as a cafe named 'The French Press' on State St in Santa Barbara. Originally a place for Julia Mayer and Todd Stewart to offer the community delicious coffee, a few short years and a few more locations led to in-house sourcing of greens and roasting their own coffee. By 2016, they reinvented themselves as Dune Coffee Roasters, and remain at the forefront of delicious coffee, taking second place at the United States Barista Championship in 2018 and 2020!
