I couldn't tell if the sourness was coming from the raspberry cream top or the coffee but it kind of tasted like it was coming from both together. apple jasmine mochi donut (4/5): I liked their mochi donuts but it is on the sweeter end. service: we went on a saturday around opening and they already had a line out the door. i think we were in line for around 30-45 minutes. but once we ordered we did get our drinks in a decent time. i like how they do offer free cold bottled water and umbrellas. seating: there is some table and bar seating available inside and some tables outside as well bathroom: one bathroom available and it is kept pretty clean. parking: super easy parking in a big parking lot for the plaza they are located in.

Honestly, I think it could have used a little more buffalo sauce and maybe a little less cheese (I could be crazy for saying less cheese lol). But overall, it was good! 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!

SO glad she did. The French toast was incredible--thick, fluffy, perfectly cooked, and loaded with yummy local peaches. I can see why this is a must! I also grabbed a fresh orange juice to go. I need to mention that this is a restaurant where you place your order at the counter and then they bring it to you They have a broad menu, plus a great selection of baked goods, so there's plenty to choose from including gluten-free. Parking is easy with a lot down the street if you can't find beachfront parking, which is usually abundant but a little more limited right now because of construction. And State Street doesn't look like I remembered--it looks even better. I included some pics of the view and the walk there and their merch. Thank you, Jeannine's! Support local.

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.

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.

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.
