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.

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

I'm very picky about coffee and don't say that lightly, but this is hands down one of the best iced…read morevanilla lattes I've ever had. You can tell everything is fresh. They use quality beans and even make their own syrups, which makes a huge difference. I wish I had something like this where I live because I would be there all the time. It's absolutely worth stopping by, and the staff are genuinely so nice.

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!
