    Best almond croissant I have ever had
    Trilby T.

    Best almond croissant I have ever had , and wonderful mocha not to sweet and just delicious. I will go back for sure . Excellent place

    Alyssa A.

    I always LOVE trying new coffee shops, so you know I was excited to visit. I don't know too many coffee houses in the Santa Barbara area yet, so this was a great introduction. Lovely little shopping center with a wide variety of different shops. Caffe Luxxe was right in the middle of the action with great indoor and outdoor seating options to fit your mood. Wanted to try one of their seasonal drinks (gotta finish out the fall season strong!), and their Dolcezza was delish. A little sweet but hits that great pumpkin flavor. Where they shined, though, wasn't with their drinks but with their food. Wish I remembered the name of the sandwich, but it was a baked egg sandwich on a brioche bun with like a chipotle aioli sauce. It was incredible! Checked all the boxes and left me so satisfied. Parking can be a bit rough - the lot is definitely tight as well as busy. Just be aware of your surroundings. Overall, a good choice for coffee when in the area!

    Caffe Luxxe is surreptitiously placed in the Montecito County Mart and has all the bells and whistles of a great cafe. Sophia was helpful and informative as she took my order and answered questions I had about the pastries. . There's an oblong communal table in the center of the cafe' if you like quietly mingling with the regulars and locals. They also have great gifts and merchandise for purchase. I needed a birthday card for a friend back home so I snagged one of those. . The matcha I ordered was decent. Lightly sweetened and not too cold, just how I like it. If you're looking for a quiet place to read, study or grab a small bite or coffee in the SB/Montecito neighborhoods , this place will deliver! Thanks for reading and breaking bread with me!

    Mocha, lemon bar and Guava Cheese Danish.
    Lou H.

    Parking can be an issue but I lucked out after a lap around the small lot. Nestled between the strip of stores and Pavilions in the Montecito Country Mart, it can be sort of tricky to find, but just walk as if you're going to enter Pavilions and look to your left to find this hidden gem. As I walked up I noticed the patio was full, inside was empty, and the place was spotless. The staff promptly greeted my buddy and I, and were quick to answer any questions we may have. I felt warmly welcomed and my buddy mentioned how nice it was. As with any cafe, I had a hot mocha in a mug, sat and enjoyed the ambiance while people watching. The chocolate was tasty and didn't overpower the espresso, a perfectly balanced mocha, enjoyable to the last sip. The lemon bars were small but tasty, coated in a powder sugar that had me wanting to lick the plate. The guava cheese danish was the best part, better than the ones Porto's are known for, delicious to the last flake of pastry. After all was said and done I sat there thinking "that was one of the best mochas I've ever had, and the best guava cheese danish." I thanked the staff for the mocha, confirmed what kind of chocolate they use as I swear I've had it before, and instantly told everyone in my office to try this place out. My boss already bookmarked it and will try it on his way to work. I'm excited to try their espresso beans on my espresso machine at home, but somehow I don't think I'll be able to replicate the delicious mocha and experience without coming back to Caffe Luxxe. Well that's this critic's review.

    Masala chai latte with a pump of vanilla taste sooo good here. I order this with regular milk warm instead of cold. Quality ingredients really help. The staff is amazingly friendly. $5 for a cup is extremely reasonable for this area. Be prepared for a consistent line at all times because people love it. Parking is difficult in the front but there is a back lot too. Thank you for waking me up today Caffe Luxxe. Bravo!

    I just want to let all customers know they close earlier. I checked the hours on Yelp and it said they were open until 4:00 pm today so I drove over there, arrived at 3:50 and the door was locked so I couldn't get in. although there were some customers inside. I got disappointed. But don't take it wrong, normally I love their coffee and service. I'm sharing my experience so you don't have to try and go. I went to Starbucks instead ( that's another option. just in case when you have the same experience as mine)

    Vegan pasties. Yeah. Same ambience. Friendly cute seating areas inside and out. Easy parking at the Vons Pavilion Montecito mart. Sadly $1 up charge for plant based milk. Next door is only 50'upcharge.

    If you want great coffee this is the place to try. They offer lots of drinks that are made just right. I tried one of their holiday drinks and it was truly rich! It is quite nice as soon as you walk in someone begins to take your order and then someone else charges you. It makes the line flow on by so just be prepared to order. They have so many delicious pastries just wish I would have asked to have mine warmed up. They have plenty of seating inside and outside where you can bring your work.

    Cafe shakerato & chocolate chip cookie
    Savannah D.

    The coffee here is so delicious! I've tried the cafe shakerato & the iced caramello, and they're both amazing! As far as food, I've just tried the chocolate chip cookie, but it was amazing as well! The male barista making the coffees with the glasses is super sweet too!

    Matcha Latte with extra matcha...
    Catherine P.

    I can't lie this is by far the worst matcha I've ever had. I asked for extra matcha powder, so I'm assuming the regular matcha is even paler. As soon as my friends and I took a sip, we each cringed because it tasted like they just poured milk into a cup. Honestly a sad excuse for a matcha especially because it was $7.50. Do better please.

    Chic coffee shop chain inspired by European sensibility. They are located at the Montecito Country Mart along Coast Village Road. Just a couple of steps away from Pavilions. I'm only here in the mornings before 8AM, but parking is generally plentiful. Inside you'll find a couple of seats by the window and a communal table in the center of the room. There's patio furniture and tables outside as well if you're planning to linger. They partner with several farmers around the world to sustainably source their beans and focus on roasting small batches to produce quality drinks. That doesn't sound too impressive since there's plenty of specialty coffee shops around these days. But they were one of the first to do so in L.A., emphasizing transparency and artisanal techniques. So far I like all the ones I've tried! The iced Shakerato is a must-get during the summer months, the dark chocolate is not so sweet. Caffe latte has the right amount of creaminess and frothiness. Caffe Luxxe also gives back to the communities they are located in, donating generously to different schools in Santa Monica, West L.A., Montecito, and Long Beach. A great business to support!

    Latte was legitimately milk. And tasted like a milk. Wish I got a photo. If you like coffee and not milk shakes, this place is not for you.

    We had a tough time finding a place to hang out and kill time in Santa Barbara waiting out traffic…read morebefore continuing on to LA. 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.

    We stopped here during our road trip, excited to finally try the Bella Rose Matcha after seeing all…read morethe dreamy promo photos-rose petals, a fresh strawberry, elegant glassware, the full aesthetic. What I got instead? A plastic to-go cup with iced matcha and a sprinkle of beet powder. No rose petals. No strawberry. No presentation. (See attached.) When I asked where the rose petals were, the barista seemed visibly annoyed and just said they had "run out." No apology, no heads-up at the time of ordering. I mentioned the drink didn't look anything like the photos, and he responded that this location only does to-go orders and doesn't serve anything the way it's advertised. Nowhere on the menu or website does it say that-which honestly feels deceptive. To make things worse, while we waited, two of the barista's friends came by and hovered near the counter like they were customers, but it was clear they hadn't actually ordered anything. Normally, I wouldn't care, but it was already taking 10-15 minutes to get our drinks and he seemed fully caught up chatting with them while preparing orders. I get that they probably had a crazy morning rush (it seemed never-ending), but in that moment he seemed distracted and disengaged and when he announced our drinks and I asked about the missing rose petals, it felt dismissive and unprofessional. My sister ordered a vanilla latte that had a cute heart in the foam, and my mom got a chai latte with cinnamon around the rim-it looked and smelled amazing. They both got everything bagels; my sister's had roasted veggies on it. I got a blueberry muffin, which was solid. The female staff were genuinely sweet and welcoming, so props to them for keeping a warm vibe going despite the chaos. The real letdown was the atmosphere. There was nowhere clean to sit. The only usable table was in the mall corridor, and I had to lay down napkins over a fresh puddle of dog pee just to sit. Every other table was dirty or taken. We were traveling with our pup and just wanted a calm, decent breakfast before another long drive, and this was not the vibe. The drinks and food tasted fine, but the whole experience felt scattered, unwelcoming, and nothing like what's advertised online. If you're coming for the aesthetic or a relaxing café moment, don't go to this location.
