I wasn't due back a lot of change but the young woman closed the cash register door put the scone in a bag and when I asked for the change (which I was going to use to put a tip in the box) she said they don't give coin change back. The previous time I got a coffee I also had to remind the young woman I had change coming back and she did give me change. For my friend she had to go into the tip box to give her change. In the future I will pay with a credit card. Everything is getting more expensive these days. I feel a little ripped off. But will return.

We ordered a hot vanilla latte with oat milk, an iced vanilla latte, and a matcha green tea. The dark roast in the coffee had the perfect balance of bold flavor and sweetness.

Overall, such a great coffee stop in Santa Barbara. Definitely coming back!

On June 5th between approximately 9:00 AM and 9:15 AM, at State st location, I ordered a Strawberry Milk Matcha at the State Street location. The drink I received looked significantly different from the advertised product and appeared improperly prepared. When I politely asked about it, the employee immediately became defensive and repeatedly insisted that the drink was correct instead of taking a moment to understand the concern. Fortunately, another employee stepped in and offered to remake the drink, which I appreciated. What disappointed me most was the customer service. When I asked the employee for his name so I could provide feedback, he told me that I did not need to know his name and that it was irrelevant for me to know. I found that response surprisingly unprofessional. Mistakes happen. Drinks can be remade. What matters is how customers are treated when they raise concerns respectfully. I spoke with a manager afterward, who apologized for my experience, but I left feeling that the issue was minimized rather than truly addressed. I choose local businesses over large chains whenever possible. That's exactly why this experience was disappointing. I hope this feedback is taken constructively because Dune has built a strong reputation in our community and I would like to see that standard upheld.

What a great little coffee shop! We were greeted as soon as we walked in, and the whole place had…read moresuch good vibes. The location is adorable, and the convenient 15-minute parking spot right in front made it an easy stop while we were traveling down the coast. We ordered an iced caramel latte with oat milk, a matcha with oat milk, and a lox bagel. The cashier/barista was incredibly friendly and took the time to help us decide on our drinks based on her recommendations, which we really appreciated. Everything was delicious, and the service was genuinely warm and welcoming. If you're passing through or looking for a great local coffee shop, I definitely recommend Caja Coffee!

They sell lots of flavors of Turkish coffee, and I was used to a sweetened and cardamon flavored version I had had in Egypt, Jordan and Israel, so I opted for the cardamon version. What they serve here was unsweetened, so I needed to add sugar, but it was good. On the sweets side, they have cheesecake, baklava... but the dominant sweet here is Turkish Delight. They have a myriad of flavors here, using various Middle Eastern nuts and spices as flavoring. They have the traditional cubed gelatin version, along with a rolled version that is a little softer and less chewy. It is all sold by weight, so you can mix and match.

We tried multiple other places that didn't have outdoor seating (so not dog friendly), but then we found Caje on State Street. It's on a protected set of streets where there are lots of shops and stores. There's common outdoor seating just outside the store, which met our objective of hanging out with the dog. Granted it was a hot day, but this store was really really hot inside, like unpleasantly so. I felt bad for the barista! The coffee is reasonably priced, all things considered (fancy flavors, Santa Barbara, crowded location) and the flavor was nice and not one I've personally had before. I asked to go light on the ice and they did a good job there. The wait was a bit long, but we weren't in a hurry, so it was all fine. Good place to stop and relax and have a good tasting coffee.

The location is nice, but it felt really hot inside. The space is small so there's not much seating inside, but they have a small outdoor seating area out front and additional seating options around the corner. They were almost out of pastries so we split their last two croissants amongst the four of us. The croissants were probably my favorite part of the visit. Most of our group seemed to be okay with their coffee choices, but overall no one was overly enthusiastic about their drink so we'd say it's about average. I ordered the iced chai latte and it was probably the worst drink I've had at a coffee shop. It was pretty much a big glass of milk with some chai spices mixed in. Very disappointing. I ended up throwing most of it away. Their staff was okay, but nothing stood out about their service so the experience here overall was pretty mediocre at best.

I ordered the matcha latte with strawberry foam. The strawberry foam was a nice idea visually, but the matcha itself was a miss. It tasted quite watery and lacked the richness and depth you expect from a good matcha latte, which made the drink feel unbalanced overall. Service also felt noticeably unfriendly and a bit cold, which took away from the experience. For a neighborhood café, you hope for a more welcoming vibe, especially when trying a place for the first time. Mosaic Locale has an interesting concept and creative menu ideas, but between the service and the drink execution, the visit felt disappointing. Hoping it was just an off day because the space itself has potential.

I think people said there is underground parking but I couldn't verify. You can order at the counter or at the kiosk. We didn't see the kiosk until after we ordered. Service was alright, about 10min wait for the drinks. Cup size is on the smaller side for the price $7. We got the matcha oat latte. I don't think you can adjust sugar level. It tasted quite sweet, but their sweetener is homemade syrup which was cool. I just wish it was less sweet cause it overshadowed the matcha.
