CAJÉ Coffee Roasters — Restaurant in Santa Barbara

I came in today with a friend and we got 2 iced matchas. I got a small and my friend got a large. After paying I noticed I was charged $7.88 and she was charged $7.75. My friend said at the time of ordering: “I’ll have the same thing as her, but a large”. I inquired with the person at the front about the price difference, noting she got the same order, just a larger size. The person at the front told me it was because I had a “for here order” despite me never saying I was drinking the matcha there and I was in fact handed a plastic to go cup. My friend was charged a “to go” price despite never saying she was taking it to go/for here and we walked in together, making it clear we were together. I’m never the type to complain - in this case I was genuinely wondering why there was a discrepancy - and the cashier did not apologize, just kept staring at me and then saying it was the “for here” price even though I was holding a plastic cup. I was hesitantly and snarkily offered a refund which I was made to feel I didn’t deserve. If an establishment wants to charge a difference for to go orders vs for here, I’m all for that. It should just be done...

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 drink was nice strong coffee. It had a thin sliced orange that the barista torched in front of us. The Bela Rose was such a subtle but sweet matcha taste served at room temperature and light light ice. The Summer Time Ice Tea was really good and fresh! Every drink was surged with a metal straw too. The avocado toast was packed with a thick layer of avocado, cherry tomatoes sliced in half and vinaigrette that ha the right amount of citrus to bring it out of together. The Caprese Panini had lots of pesto pouring 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 good but 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...

A while ago me and my dad visited Santa Barbara and I fell in love with the city. The vibe scenery everything about it from state street to up in the hills of SB I love the whole city. It was our second- last day in SB and we ran across this place. We were very hungry so we were thinking we were just gonna have a little morning break feast. We thought nothing of it. I just got a plain toasted bagel and my dad and I shared a chocolate açaí bowl and I got a strawberry smoothie. This place was amazing and unbeatable. The bagel was out of this world with amazing flavor as it was the best bagel I’ve ever had. The açaí bowl was so unique with strawberries bananas bees nectar honey nuts chocolate everything you could think of. It’s pretty close to UCSB and since I love Santa Barbara so much I’m gonna come here with a few friends in 6 or 7 years and get a bagel and even probably a coffee because I already love coffee. There our other joints so this isn’t the only one I go to. But everything Ike I stop by Santa Barbara we need...
