CAJÉ

The absolute best matcha in the world - get the Bella rose with almond milk, you won’t regret it! And make sure to come by the Lab Social at night. Cajé becomes a bar that makes great cocktails, happy hour from 5:30-7:30. I have yet to have a bad experience here.

I will always have distinct, fond memories of caje. The atmosphere is unmatched and the coffee is delicious. Waiting for your coffee or bagel is always a pleasant experience.

Quality coffee, good (somewhat pricey) food options, free wifi, even some outlets. What's not to love? No bathroom!

Great coffee!
Very good bagels!
They sold out most of the time with their bagels very early in the morning !

The smoothies here are breakfast in a cup. They have bagels, tea, and coffee too, but I go here so I can get a bunch of fruit blended with something like kale or avocado or peanut butter and attach it to my mouth like a feeding tube and slurp it up. There’s never enough seats indoors but the outdoor seats on the side have heaters for chilly weather.

The food in this place FILLS you. Those acai bowls are just a huge healthy meal. Also the matcha latteis by far the best I have had, very well mixed and not bitter. Seating is hard though, so if you can find a spot, great but you likely won't.

the best espresso, milk, and steaming in California

Best espresso in IV. I usually order a machiatto, which is served more like a cortado than a strict machiatto. I've been told their flat white is to die for. It's excellent espresso and consistently high quality. Good service, friendly people, plenty of outdoor seating. Beware that they don't have a bathroom, so plan accordingly.

Great coffee and bagel sandwiches. Had an espresso that was delicious and a tasty mushroom cheese bagel sandwich with tomato and avocado. Nice outdoor patio for me and my dog.

They have a couple bagel sandwich options on their menu, though apparently no longer make them. They have very limited options, and the acai bowl
I tried tasted like a bad smoothie poured in a cup with bird seeds thrown on top. Normally, I like acai bowls... but this place is only rated well because it is the only acai/smoothie place in the UCSB general vicinity.
