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

Nothing like starting my birthday weekend in my favorite city in the world--Santa Barbara!…read more Finally made it to Jeannine's at the Shore, and Sabrielle recommended the summer special: peach French 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.

I ordered the avocado toast and loved it. My husband got the American Breakfast with ham and also loved it. They have a good selection of pastries, we went with a ricotta cake and wow wow wow! It was delicious!!! Need the recipe for the cake. Definitely recommend to go earlier in the morning and try snagging a table outside for beautiful ocean views.

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.

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.
