Fuel Depot in Santa Barbara (250 N Tpke Rd)

The point market that is attached to this gas station has fantastic coffee for 2 bucks a cup. They have a machine that grinds the beans for each cup resulting in a fresh cup of coffee every time I visit. They also have a hand wash car wash as well as a drive through wash. The cool thing is about the drive through was is that they have a couple of dudes who give your whip a scrub down before you enter the drive through wash, a nice touch. I’ve been coming to this shell since I was a little boy. In what seems like a lifetime ago there was once a video rental store on the backside of the building, I assume they use it for storage now. There was also once a subway counter where the coffee stuff is now. Times they do change but the gas remains the same, if only the prices did as well. She’ll has top tier gas that keeps your engine healthy so I don’t mind paying a bit more than across the street at fuel depot which has no amenities.

Top tier gas

Great gas station.

Handy location

Looks like they are closed. Remodeling
