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.

Born and raised in SB and RoCo is still a classic and regular on my rotation of visits to coffee…read moreshops. We love the Hawaiian Hazelnut blend. We buy it regularly by the bag and enjoy it at home as our "weekend coffee". RoCo has a rewards program that you can sign up for. Buy 10 bags and get the 11th free. Plus every time you buy a bag they will offer you a complementary coffee or iced tea. The hibiscus tea is delicious on a hot day. Plus they have crushed ice which makes any coffee or tea drink!

Finally got the chance to stop in recently and check out the newest coffee shop in town…read more Over everything else, there is something special about this place as it feels like time just stands still. Maybe it is because it is out of a wine bar it almost feels like a speakeasy coffee shop. Perfect spot on a quiet Saturday morning to come inside and find a bustling coffee shop off of state street. No one is in a hurry and everyone is happy, it almost felt all too natural to pick up this weeks print of the independent and read through the current local musings. While I do have to note the coffee is significantly more expensive than other places it was really good. Everything is done by hand in a made to order basis using exact temperature controlled water and precise grind sizes. You can always tell good people by the libation that they furnish. Whether it be a bottle of wine for dinner or a cup of coffee in the morning.

It's a nice, chill hangout spot with great coffee, good food, and a cool vibe. We always enjoy stopping by and definitely recommend it!

There is very little seating Inside of you wanted to sip your tea in the shop. Be warned. It is pricey. $6.50 for a large plain coffee or iced tea. It is not special coffee or tea either. It is not some fancy brewed with fancy bean coffee. It is just regular pump thermos style coffee you get when you have a meeting. The cups aren't unique, the beverages themselves are mediocre at best. You are just trapped and they know it. Convenient if you are staying there and want to grab a coffee for the road, but you are better off stopping at Starbucks or another local on the way.
