    Lunch Menu
    Chris H.

    We stopped by for lunch during our road trip and I'm glad we skipped on fast food to try something local. That being said, this place is a local hotspot with a very friendly staff and inviting atmosphere. I had the curry potato soup with a curry chicken sandwich and both were great. My wife loved her Tuna Salad Sandwich in sourdough. I ordered a coffee when we first walked in thinking we would have breakfast but didn't realize it was already 1:30PM so it was lunch time but my coffee was very fresh. I'm very happy we stumbled upon this place as it definitely hit the spot.

    Great work lunch today! Quick service, attentive, and the sandwich is pretty straight forward. Bacon and Brie on sour dough... *chef's kiss*

    Greek scramble, French scramble and San Ysidro poached eggs
    Tammy H.

    What a cute little place. The actual coffee shop isn't really a coffee shop. Its more like a mini diner. There are a few seats inside, but if the the weather is nice, sit outside. Enjoy the views and people (and dog) watch. We sat at the corner table under the tree. What a wonderful location! The food was great and service was wonderful. We really enjoyed our Saturday brunch. We had: San Ysidro Poach, Greek Scramble and the French Scramble. This was lot for 3 of us. We could've just had 2 orders and been full. There is plenty of parking in the lot or along the street.

    The Montecito coffee shop located in the Montecito Upper Village shopping center is a quaint, homely place for a relaxing morning. The vibe here is low-key and casual. There is ample outdoor seating with nice views in every direction. All ingredients The service is usually busy and rushed. The general crowd consists of Montecito locals, usually over 60. You get the vibe that this is the senior citizen café for the Montecito residents who don't want anything spicy, or any seasonings, and enjoy probably a good old fashion chicken salad sandwich on rye! In fact the link you majority of the menu is old fashion sandwiches, they've got a patty melt, a tuna melt, and a egg salad sandwich. The food here is VERY basic. Everything on the menu can easily be prepared at home for a fraction of the price. Ingredients are not of high-quality, in fact most of what you can find at Ralph's down the street. The coffee they serve is diner-esque nothing fancy. Strong and hot all day. That said, there's a really positive vibe here, looks like an old-timey place with nice servers of all ages. There's lots to look at while you enjoy your meal and plenty of parking with shops nearby.

    Greek Scramble
    Mark Y.

    I had a Greek Scramble, with spinach, tomato, onion, bacon, and feta. It was good, and everything was fresh. Serving sizes won't leave you stuffed but are still filling. Friendly service. Prices are a bit high, but considering the neighborhood it's to be expected.

    All done!

    Montecito Coffee Shop delivers quality food and service every time. Breakfast is lovely and they have an excellent selection to truly enjoy. Lunch during the week except Sunday is traditionally delicious, fresh and well prepared. No problem bring the pets they will receive excellent service with fresh water and a nice place to sit down when experiencing the front patio dining area. Always good food with friendly local staff that make you feel welcome. Don't hesitate, meet family and friends, they will enjoy it too!

    Deviled egg salad sandwich
    Ania K.

    Delicious sandwiches for the beach! Our Airbnb happened to be just down the road from this cafe so our visit was based on convenience. Instead of having to decide on a place for lunch we ordered a few sandwiches for our beach day. The deviled egg sandwiches were really good. I'm really picky when it comes to egg sandwiches because I make some great egg salad myself but these didn't disappoint. Each sandwich came with a pickle and chips. Perfect beach lunch!

    Italian chicken sandwich
    Hoda F.

    We came here with my sister and cousin. We ordered the Tuna Melt, the Italian Chicken and BBQ chicken. Tuna melt was super delicious, but not too sure about the Italian chicken or the BBQ chicken. They had great customer service though, very approachable and sweet staff.

    Half a Turkey wrap
    Nova K.

    Great and friendly service. Had a Turkey wrap and apple curry salad. Nice proportions. Really wanna try their breakfast! Only complaint is pricey, but to be expected with area.

    Fantastic pancakes, and if you haven't tried the San Ysidro Poached for breakfast, you are missing out.

The location is adorable, and the convenient 15-minute parking spot right in front made it an easy stop while we were traveling down the coast. We ordered an iced caramel latte with oat milk, a matcha with oat milk, and a lox bagel. The cashier/barista was incredibly friendly and took the time to help us decide on our drinks based on her recommendations, which we really appreciated. Everything was delicious, and the service was genuinely warm and welcoming. If you're passing through or looking for a great local coffee shop, I definitely recommend Caja Coffee!

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.

    DEFINITELY WORTH IT…read more Make the stop if you're in the area. We went for brunch on a weekend while traveling and it was clear this is the spot in town: the line was out the door, but it moved quickly. You order at the counter, they seat you, and the food comes out to your table. We had the lobster Benedict and the challah French toast, and both delivered. The lobster Benedict was generous and rich, and the French toast impressed my wife who has high standards when it comes to French toast. The atmosphere was lively and inviting, and the staff stayed attentive and friendly even with the crowd moving through. If you're in the Santa Barbara area, make time for this one. Next time, I'm going to try the chilaquiles. Almost forgot - best hash browns I've had in a while as well.

Im always making a time to swing by to your Montecito spot and even promoting your place to my friends to check out your bakery. But today is kinda frustrated in the service given.

The upper village retains a very casual, not trying to impress atmosphere of old Montecito. The staff is always friendly, one lady has been working here the whole time I've been a customer, I think over 20 years ! Even though it's busy, it's manageable. There are tables and seats across the parking lot in the park area which is very nice. I had the curry chicken wrap, it's good. The club wrap was kind of bland, so wouldn't order that again. I appreciate all the specialty items. Coffee drinks are good, and I'm happy they carry the unsweetened Yerba Mate.

I got a card as well, went up and paid, & left. Yesterday when I went in a lady in the back told me the smoothie wasn't paid for. I was confused and checked my statement and gladly paid for it as the day before it appeared I was only charged for the card (not my mistake). When I went in this morning, the older lady who is usually pretty nice said to me with a few people around, "you need to pay this time". I thought that was pretty petty and unprofessional to say in front of other customers as well. Again I have been coming here for months and have spent well over $1,500 here in the last half year or so. After today I think that may change as it just isn't right to address something like that when it was a workers mistake not charging me correctly the first time around.
