    Matcha
    Zsanae K.

    I wish we had one of these in VC!! I love this place. The bowls are big. I love the oatmeal on a chilly morning and an açaí bowl as a late breakfast. The iced matcha is my fav. I love that they use honey. They have alternative sweeteners too. I'm usually into more savory foods but this place uses fresh fruit and natural sweeteners. I'm also a big fan of the granola.

    New smoothies!

    I came here to try the Dune Day Crusher (I love me some Dune coffee) and was greeted by a friendly staff member. She took my order quickly then I sat down to wait. There was another staff member making bowls and smoothies. I felt like I waited a long time for my smoothie and they could've done better having one more staff making items. My smoothie was pretty good! Not too sweet and very filling. I've come here in the past for açaí bowls and enjoyed them more than my smoothie. Their ingredients taste good and i love the honey topping. Unless you're really hungry, I'd suggest getting a smaller size bowl.

    Dude. I payed $13 with a nice generous tip, and they gave me 2 blueberry's and it's not even full to the top!

    If you're looking for a quality smoothie I'd go to Backyard Bowls. They have a wide range of supplements you can add to the drinks plus açaí bowls. Reasonably priced menu as well.

    I had to pick my sister up from SB and we stopped here for a quick bite... ended up not being quick, but all was fine. We came in around 10 or 11 in the morning and it wasn't packed, but we noticed that after we ordered there were lots of other people coming in to order. We ordered the power bowl and the warrior bowl. It came out after about 25 minutes of waiting. Honestly there were only 3 workers there and I feel like there was only 2-3 blenders... so not the best when there's a crowd. The power bowl was okay, very melty and way too many almonds on top - I feel like the toppings and acai didn't really balance each other out. My sister enjoyed the warrior bowl, but again it wasn't her favorite... she frequents here often and said she prefers the berry bowl. Overall, I think this is just an okay spot - there's nothing particularly bad about it, but not much I would rave about either. I wouldn't mind returning if there wasn't anything else in the area but I have definitely had better acai bowls at the same price point.

    Ordered the Island Bowl when I came here. I loved it and would definitely come back again! The patio area is super nice as well, and a good place to hang out with friends

    Cute little shop in the shopping center. Ordered a Hercules with spinach added and a Supergreen. Location was very clean and not packed at all. They also do online ordering if you want to order ahead which is nice.

    Power bowl in a regular (medium) size, without honey

    I came for breakfast and got the power bowl in a regular (medium) size, without honey so that it's vegan. It was a decent acai bowl. The toppings were in a thick layer on top and all the acai was on the bottom so it was kind of hard to mix the flavors around - probably it would've been better if the container was more of a wider bowl rather than a tall narrow cup. There were too many almonds for my taste, but the other toppings were good. The acai blend was tasty, not overly sweet, and the bowl was filling.

    The Island Bowl is my fav! Love the coconut and the drizzled honey on the top. Order in the app and save some time.

    No effort made on the patio. Tables in the blazing sun on the corner of a parking lot. How hard is it to put out some umbrellas?

    Like the product but 30 minutes for a smoothie and 1 bowl is underwhelming. Should add some staff on busy days.

    This side of downtown Santa Barbara appeared to be quiet, but once you go to Cajé Coffee Roasters,…read moreit's like all of Santa Barbara is in one spot. This place was bustling with professionals, tourists, students, etc. There was plenty of seating, perfect for a dog friendly place. Despite the crowd, I received my drink in a timely manner. Their specialty drinks are dine in only. Which makes sense, they're so wonderfully made. I can't wait to try more of their special drinks.

    I was really excited to visit Caje Coffee Roasters because the plaza and location are beautiful. It…read morehas a Spanish/European-style courtyard with a fountain in the middle and shaded patios, which makes it a really charming place to sit. When we arrived there was quite a long line, but it moved fairly quickly. One thing we realized once we got there is that it's more of a coffee spot than a full breakfast or brunch café. They do offer food, but it's mostly bagels and sandwiches, not a large variety of warm breakfast dishes like eggs or classic brunch plates. The ordering system is also more casual -- you order at the counter, get a number, and they bring the food to your table, so it's not traditional table service. The place was very busy and a bit chaotic, with lots of people walking around trying to find seats, so it didn't feel like a calm, relaxed breakfast atmosphere. That being said, the coffee was excellent -- probably some of the best we had. We tried two of their specialty coffees (banana and cranberry), which were very unique and beautifully presented. They are on the pricier side (around $15), but definitely fun to try at least once. Overall, I would recommend it if you're looking for creative coffee in a beautiful location, but maybe not if you're hoping for a quiet, traditional breakfast or brunch experience.
