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.

I was told it was the most popular of…read morethe chocolate drinks, but I really regret not getting something spicier and with dark chocolate. It was actually tricky to read the posted menu because the chocolate section was completely blocked by a container of coffee. The counter person had to read the menu for me. How about put the coffee away? My drink tasted better towards the end when it was more cinnamony and chocolately. I would give Cafecito another chance (and I feel bad for saying this because I sense they're better than this), but for what I had I have to give it 2 stars.

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.

I've had their brekkie bagel before and that was a 10/10, but they were out this time Service was great though, everyone was friendly and welcoming :)

Definitely worth stopping by, even if coffee isn't your thing. I would come back just for that avocado toast!

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.

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.

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 quickly hopped off the 101 and hopped into the cafe. I ordered a cold brew from the very nice gentleman at the counter, and he served it up. Nothing crazy there. It was definitely a place designed for a spot of coffee and a small snack/meal. I saw plenty of people doing some studying there too. I'm sure that's a great place to do it. Onto the coffee. I ordered the cold brew black, so I was off pretty quick. I got in the car and took a sip. It was a pretty dark roast, and I wanna say pretty French in roast profile? I dunno. Anyways, it was dark, a little muddled in flavor, and not as good as other options in the area, in my opinion. That being said, it was in no way bad, and because everything else was closed, I was happy to have had something. It's not the coffee for me, but I think it's plenty good for a cafe drink and a light meal!
