Reviews for CAJÉ in Santa Barbara, CA
Was in town for a little bit so we dropped in the try these cute drinks. We ordered the Jupiter Forest, Bela Rose and the... Summer Time Ice Tea for our drinks. We also ordered the Avocado Toast and Caprese Panini. Total $53.. The Jupiter Forest drinkwas nice strong coffee. It had a thin sliced orange that the barista torched in front of us. The Bela Rose was such a subtle butsweet matcha taste served at room temperature and light light ice. The Summer Time Ice Tea was really good and fresh! Everydrink was surged with a metal straw too. The avocado toast was packed with a thick layer of avocado, cherry tomatoes sliced inhalf and vinaigrette that ha the right amount of citrus to bring it out of together. The Caprese Panini had lots of pestopouring out of it as well as cheese, a thin layer of the Turkey slice and one slice of tomato cut in half. It was pretty goodbut the bread was hard and kind of hurt the roof of my mouth a couple times when I bit into it.. Over super cute trendy place,not crowded at all but just seemed to be entirely too expensive for what we got. I just can?t agree with the price. Read more
This place has good ambiance and great staff, but the drama comes from the owner, terrible boss, treats staff like they're so... beneath him. The employee is hardworking, and people around know it. If anything, the employee has contributed to the business.I had good things to say about the business, but firing an employee because of a google review. I was a customer of thisbusiness, I have witnessed similar one of the other customer mentioned in her google review. Feedback is what helps abusiness, from what I understand, that's what the review is for. That was discrimination in the workplace, and there are variousforms of discrimination. Before my comment, there was already one related negative comment. Btw, the employee has no idea thereview was written. People get upset for being called out for mistreatment, but they don't take accountability for their actionsand play the victim and blame others. Read more
Best. Coffee. Spot. Ever!!!! Also, the absolutely best coffee that I?ve ever had! It was so good, my wife and I literally went... back all three days if our stay while in Santa Barbara. I refused to try any other place because why ruin a good thing right!?You have to drink their drinks on site, which after you see this thing, you will be glad you did. I can?t wait to come back andtry the best coffee if my life. Enjoy!! Read more
This is the second time I have been here. After Low Pigeon had their machines under maintenance, they sent me to Caje right... across the street. This is the best oat milk latte I have tasted and worth my dollars! Both the iced and hot lattes areexcellent and can?t wait to come back. Read more

Totally worth the hype!! We've never had anything like this. The way they make their mixed coffees is a whole experience.... There's a smell tied to every drink such as smoked wood and rosemary or toasted blackberries... the mix of unique flavors plusthe smell makes for the perfect taste combo. We highly recommend it!

It has been a long time that a coffee shop amazed me. Unique flavors and best of all innovative presentation of specialty coffee... drinks. It is pricey but if you are into coffee it is worth to give it a try. We tried four different specialty drinks and allwere very well done. Read more
The best coffee shop in Santa Barbara, and probably top 3 in California, this place is a must hit. The pictures show all the... fancy drinks we tried, with prices ranging from $9-12 and seem like an Influencer's dream. They were all well balanced anddeliciously unique. Fancy drinks aside, the cortado and cappuccino's I've had from them are top notch. For black coffee, I'vehad two bags of Ethiopian from them - both natural, one I believe was Anaerobic. And they were STELLAR. Easily a top 5 naturalEthiopian I've had, not just in California, but across the USA - sitting right up there against the best I've had (KingdomCoffee Roaster in Folsom, CA and Koana near Hilo, HI on the Big Island). For reference, I've probably been to ~500 roastersacross the USA, and rarely do I leave a review, but Caje deserves it on their beans alone. Caje is a gem and brings elevatedand classic coffee drinks out quickly in a clean, chic environment, with multiple locations to serve. Read more
