I have stopped to get a coffee many times at Little Heart and enjoy the food at the associated…read morebusinesses of Little Heart. Today I purchased a scone and paid with cash. 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.

Alright, first let me start with the service -- it was amazing! The guy helping us really seemed to…read moreknow what he was talking about and gave great recommendations. 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. I honestly enjoyed every sip of it. Everything tasted smooth, rich, and well made. The place itself was clean, organized, and even the bathroom was spotless, which I always appreciate. Overall, such a great coffee stop in Santa Barbara. Definitely coming back!

I am writing this because I genuinely support local Santa Barbara businesses and want them to…read moresucceed. 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.

On our recent trip to Santa Barbara, I tried Caje Coffee Roasters…read more I ordered the Bella Rose and it was both beautiful and delicious. I'm not usually a big fan of matcha, but this one really surprised me--in a good way. It was smooth, well-balanced, and not overly earthy, which made it easy to enjoy. Overall, a great drink and a nice spot worth checking out when in the area.

Bonus points when the breakfast is actually good too and this spot delivered on both. I'll admit, the signature drinks are a little pricey. Paying $11 for a coffee with a toasted marshmallow on the side definitely had me questioning my life choices for a second... but honestly coffee was good. The gals taking our order were ok...Ambiance was nice but it did feel a bit tight in there. The breakfast was well done-- the almond Croissant was amazing, and the cortado was perfectly made. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

I've been to their other location before, and I've ordered my friend a gift from them online. When…read moreI ordered the gift, they were so attentive, and ensured that it would get delivered properly, so that's a bonus! Anyways, I knew they have a SB location, so when my sister asked me to go up to SB with her for business, my one hope was that we could stop by here because it is just THAT good. I love their selection of Turkish Delights. The flavors are just so unique to me, for instances, the Blackberry, Almond & Almond Cream Turkish Delight was so good, I had to get me a little log of that, and of course, the Rose Petal Covered, Pomegranate & Pistachio Turkish Delight. Yes, it is a bit pricey, but my justification is, one it is a treat for myself, and two, I don't know how to make it. The space is cute, and I love that you could even order tea/coffee and enjoy it in the shop with your sweets. Lastly, I appreciate that they give samples of the different Turkish Delights!

Love all the Caje Coffee Roaster's cafes locations, but this one is an extra favorite…read more The baristas here are always fantastic, friendly, generous, and great no matter how busy. And this lovely cafe can get really busy. This is also the caje cafe where I tried their hot cocoa for the first time and aclaim it to be one of THE BEST HOT COCOAS EVER!!! It is really easy to swoon over the magical drink choices here, and not get something so plain like a coffee or cocoa. But everything caje does is excellent. And, wow, this is rich, pure, wonderful hot cocoa. Get with their house made almond milk. It is very low sugar and made with excellent quality chocolate, so actually close to a medicinal drink. Tip: For hot drinks here always ask for extra hot. Sit outside in their parked courtyard. Comfy seats perfect for people watching, reading, and friend chats. A few charming seats inside too. Always ask for extra hot

Stopped by Mosaic Locale to check it out and left feeling a bit underwhelmed. The space itself is…read morecute and modern, and the drinks sounded creative, which is what initially drew me in. 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.

Went here TWICE, and they messed up my order TWICE. Person behind the register was pretty rude (1st…read moretime), staff who remade my drink was nice. Coffees are okay. Matchas are not good. It's very grainy and overpriced for the quality of the matcha and coffee. I wouldn't recommend coming here. The second time I've come here, they made me a bulgogi melt, which my friends have been here numerous of times and had the same dish. I thought it was weird the sandwich was not toasted or anything, and it was just soggy. My friends who have gotten this multiple times told me it's supposed to be toasted, so I brought it back to have it toasted. I wasn't expecting a full remake, rather just for it to be toasted, but I was met with rudeness from the server saying "it's brioche, it's supposed to be like that and not toasted." I feel like I should've been offered a remake, or at the least it being retoasted and some accountability taken, but unfortunately not. I won't be coming back here again.
