Wow, I've never been more excited about something in my entire life The lovely barista working when I went was so personable, fun, and doing a fantastic job considering how HOT it was in that bus! Inside the bus itself was super cute and cozy. I feel like I would love to sit in there and drink all day, but I ordered the Strawberry Pink Peppercorn latte with oat milk and was pleasantly surprised! It was sweet with a little hint of fruitiness and a little floral all wrapped in that creamy oat milk texture with espresso that really woke me up. It was refreshing and energizing on a day when it was like 98 million degrees. I would love to come back and try the other offerings the next time I'm in town. Five stars!

Definitely quicker and just as tasty as the very long lined bakery nearby at 10:30am on a Sunday. The bus is now a white Schoolie and clean and decorated in a minimalistic coffee shop vibe, with some cute signs/cards up with magnets. There is a little two seater table inside too. Woman owned, socially conscious. It's a yes, I will go back for sure!

This adorable little cottage had one of the best double shots of espresso I think I've ever had and…read moreI think that's saying something, because I'm from WA and I've had some of the best coffees ever in my hometown- tying only with Budapest. I don't know if it was because I was half awake and really needed some caffeine but this tasted incredible it was a perfect temperature, it did not taste burnt which many places do when you just get straight espresso), AND had fantastic flavor-- in fact I kind of wish I had asked about what coffee they used and I would have bought a bag of it, but I was already jumping on the road... Found this place by accident, when I passed through on Highway 101. I will definitely be back and if you're someone who is traveling to Santa Barbara, Pismo Beach or surrounding areas make sure you get off the freeway and check this place out right off Highway 101. Also the peanut butter cookie was DELICIOUS!!

Both drinks were incredibly creamy and smooth, with a rich flavor that never felt overly bitter or overly sweet. The Lucky Charms had a fun, nostalgic taste with just the right amount of Irish crème, while the Snickerdoodle Latte was perfectly balanced with warm cinnamon-cookie notes. What stood out most was how well-crafted both drinks were. You could actually taste the coffee without it being overpowering, and neither drink felt loaded with sugar like some flavored lattes do. The staff were also genuinely warm and welcoming from the moment we walked in. Great service, great atmosphere, and great coffee. We'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

So fresh and perfectly sweetened. My husband had the butterscotch latte and that was also really yummy. For food, we got the breakfast sandwich and the blackberry toast. Both were really good. Great flavors and quality of ingredients. The location itself is beautiful; plenty of space to find seating at The Post. The tables at Little King were taken so we went to the cute courtyard and enjoyed our drinks and food there. It was pretty crowded when we arrived on a weekday morning but the staff were quick to get through the line and get us our items relatively quickly.

The iced matcha was extremely good, which I liked a bit more than the iced chai latte.

No nod, no "one sec," no fleeting moment of eye contact. Nothing to suggest they were aware that two humans with wallets had entered the building. So we left. Without coffee. Without spending a single dollar. Which, in a town where people will happily pay $8 for an oat milk latte and say thank you, is a pretty remarkable failure. I genuinely cannot review the coffee because I never got any. What I can tell you is that the vibe is very much "we exist, find us if you dare." On this particular day, I didn't dare long enough. Maybe the market is great. Maybe the coffee is transcendent. I'll never know, and honestly, neither will my credit card.

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.

The atmosphere is also really great--comfortable, welcoming, and a nice place to enjoy a coffee and pastry. The only minor issue was that the cashier seemed a little annoyed when she poured a hot brew instead of the cold brew I ordered. That said, I tend to speak pretty quietly, so it may have simply been a communication issue. Overall, the drinks, food, and atmosphere made it a really enjoyable stop, and I'd definitely come back.

In the weekend you'll know you found the spot if you miss the sign by the line of people at the door. Don't be discouraged by the line as it moves relatively fast. The shop consist of straight forward coffee drinks and a small menu perfect for breakfast. Prices are standard coffee shop prices. I ordered a matcha and was quite pleased but it went down in so quickly. Ask for some honey with your match, as it makes all sorts of much better. As for sitting: there is a small area inside with tables. Plus tables outside with umbrellas or a rent. Nice to sit outside when it's cooler out or in the morning before the sun comes out. This place is a good alternative to chains. Support local places.
