Comment: Regular latte was amazing. Best I had among the shops I tried on my short stay in SB. The next time I went I tried the specialty coffee and really wish I’d tasted it before hopping into my Lyft. The salted pecan tastes like sweet licorice and I’m not enjoying it at all. I can’t taste coffee. Bummed to leave on this note. Especially after paying $11 for this cup.

Comment: Great coffee spot when you end up on State Street! Nice big windows and decor. Usually stick with Oatmilk latte but their matcha and hot coffee is nice. The staff is great and always on it with the drinks and a chat! One of them is always watering the plants too which I like. 10/10

Comment: I just came in and ordered a pumpkin spice latte that Ive been looking forward to all day. I usually love Caje and always say great things about them. But today I asked for a decaf latte and I got a regular latte with caffeine! This is a really big deal as I have a condition that doesnt allow me to have caffeine. Im very upset because I didnt figure out that it was caffeinated until Id already taken a few sips. I will be up all night literally! My heart is racing and Im hoping that I dont have to now take medication to calm my heart. So very disappointed in my service. To all the baristas out there, its a really big deal when someone asks for decaf but gets caffeinated instead!

Comment: Coffees | 3/5 | Lattes err on the sweet side. Theyre arent strong coffee drinks, maybe order a different drink or do sweetness adjustment for a real pick-me-up.Iced Honey Lavender Latte - 3.5/5 | Was a little too sweet.Iced Vanilla Latte - 3.5/5 | Also a little too sweet, vanilla was prominent.Service | 4/5 | No complaints here. Average coffee shop service. Their large is only $0.50 more!Ambiance | 4/5 | Its a very trendy coffee shop in the Paseo Nuevo shopping center with deck seating on State Street and benches indoors. If youre looking for the picture worthy drinks that are really done up presentation-wise, dont come to this location. They have two other locations on Haley (3pm close) and Arlington (1pm close, upper State St) that do that. So while I do appreciate that this location closes at 7/8pm and is in the middle of the busiest part of State St, its very much to-go coffee with a basic food menu.

Comment: Worst customer service. The three baristas working there around 4pm on 6/30/2023 had the worst attitude ever and did not even greet or say thank you at least. They made the worst blended coffee and iced coffee ever. I shouldve just bought my coffee at Starbucks at least they add flavor to the coffee. Never coming back here again.

Comment: Typical aesthetic coffee shop… $16 for two lattes? Overpriced… I mean they’re making their profit by stationing themselves in the middle of state street but still… I expected more enthusiasm from the barista and better quality coffee. I’ve tasted better coffee elsewhere. I should’ve just gone to the starbucks down the street. :/

Comment: I wish I could say this was a great experience. I came to visit Santa Barbara for the first time with my three sisters and came across Cajé Paseo Via Square. I bought $7 coffees for each of my three sisters and myself. The taste was so bad, one of my sisters said it tasted like raw meat and all of us agreed. We each took a couple sips and could not proceed to torture ourselves any longer. We had to throw each of them away. What a waste of $28.

Comment: Pretty good coffee shop! Loved the Faema E61 machine, and the overall vibe of the place. Cant give it 5 stars for 2 reasons. One, it smelled like a musty gym for some reason when we visited. Second, no latte art on a cortado (Gibraltar), I know! Im being super picky but come on, I love me some latte art on everything milky (- Capp).Good service, good music, good coffee and plenty of seating.

Comment: Especially for the price, you’d think this place would be a lot better, unfortunately that was not the case. The roast I got in my latte tasted sour and burnt and the matcha tasted like heavy cream and ice with not one hint of matcha... Needless to say, the drinks were tossed after a few sips and we went to Daily Grind for some good coffee.

Comment: Cajé is a prized treasure to the Santa Barbara downtown scene. Embodying creativity and craftsmanship, Cajés food and drinks are made with intentionality to the customer. A blend of the rising third wave coffee movement and authentic Italian coffee culture, this mom-and-pop place reflects the importance of seeing your coffee and food not as a mundane experience in your day, but as something to be enjoyed! Cajé elevates the dignity of their customers-- through their skill, courtesy, quality, and speed at which food and drinks are served. It’s the best damn coffee in town!! Support your local caffeine dealers!!

Comment: This place just exuded high end vibes from the moment we approached. Nice outside area with cool array of chairs, basically an outside coffee lounge (great music playing). The inside of the Caje is also a real vibe. Horizontally mounted record player spinning funk. Great list of drinks. We did two Cortados one of which had a swan which was next level. We ended up sitting out here for an hour and a half and had our family meet us. (They have limited food option but the bagel was great and hit the spot)

Comment: The coffee here is excellent! Not at all bitter, just good smooth coffee. They make their own almond milk, although it is sweetened with dates (not surprising, as very few coffee shops have an up sweetened milk alternative available).The atmosphere of the place is clean and simple. There isn’t much space inside to relax while you sip, but here were a few tables outside. Now of a coffee to go place.

I also got a bag of their roasted coffee beans to take home with me. Their bag designs are very artistic and are a fun addition to my kitchen counter top.
