At the end of a 7 hour drive, you really need some kind of pick me up! Especially before you face the windy two lane highway that goes through Cuyama, California! We were overjoyed to find the Starbucks! It wasn't very crowded and we were able to put in our order at the drive-through and then circle around to get our drink. The car ahead of us did take a couple extra minutes, but once we were at the window, we were able to get our order with our dedicated Starbucks card and continue on our way with our beautiful sweet treat. We'll definitely stop here again as we traverse California!

I waited 4 minutes to get order, and another 5 before I asked for a refund. i was on the clock and waited while the Barista chatted with a friend in line talking about meeting at a bar or something on Friday. Bu the time I waited 5 minutes after the order, the same people were still waiting for their drink. A couple that came in after me got there's before I did. 9:40 by the time a left with no coffee. No,"Someone will be right with you" No apology for the wait time. She offered me a coffee instead of the Americano I paid for, then I thought I paid via card, but I paid cash. The cashier couldn't tell on his end that I paid cash. $6.50. No customer awareness. I won't be back. I hate leaving bad reviews, but this crew was awful... Really bad look for those people. I wish them the best!

Went to Smitten downtown for breakfast with some friends before a morning of shopping. We each…read moreordered a coffee and shared a toast flight, which ended up being the perfect thing to share. The first toast was peanut butter and strawberry jelly topped with coconut flakes. The second was almond butter and banana with cocoa nibs, honey, and cinnamon. The third was Nutella and hazelnuts topped with strawberries and coconut flakes. They were all delicious, but my favorite was definitely the Nutella and hazelnut toast. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and the variety made it fun to share and try different combinations. Service was quick and friendly. The ambiance is a cute cafe vibe. You place order at the counter and someone brings your order to your table. Smitten is definitely a must-visit spot when downtown for breakfast.

SMITTENS STAPLE IS THEIR ABILITY TO MISS THE FLAVOR IN EVER SINGLE DISH…read more Update: coming back after some palate development... smitten is one of the most tasteless restaurants in town. Their hype was definitely due to the 'aesthetic'. Nothing is really outstanding to me. The drinks are such a let down, the coffee is borderline yuck.. do not recommend. Everything is quite unmemorable. Service is whatever, sometimes mid, sometimes bad. Nothing outstanding. Ambiance.... well... this one has been replicated one too many times. The food is heavily missing flavor,the hummus is disgusting. I can't believe they call that thing hummus, it's an insult to actual dish.. it's almost like it was trying to imitate the real dish, but failed terribly in even attempting to. Their pizza tasted like play-doh and looked very pale. Smitten is at least consistent with one thing, which is their staple: no flavor. One of the breaking points for me was being served food that had someone's HAIR. The restaurant is very expensive for the poor experience they have to offer. I stopped recommending them a long time ago.

What I don't like is that whenever im there, I'm almost in front of him waiting to get gas or to buy something, he's always chatting with someone else and never turns around to help me; he just keeps talking as if he doesn't care. So I end up going to the other cashier. I've also noticed that sometimes he's sitting down and doesn't help clear the line and he's usually always chatting and laughing, but he never looks around to see if there's a customer behind. The only employee I see working hard is a girl with curly hair I believe her name is Lily. She is wonderful. The other not so good. It's not the first time that has happened to me but other customers as well. Whoever is in charge please talk to him.
