“Solid breakfast burrito. Genuinely surprised as to the quality being that this is a cafeteria for a company. Good prices. Got 2 breakfast burritos, one veggie and eggs, and one with bacon and eggs. Came to $12 and some change. Will be back!“

“Decided to stop into Crushcakes for just coffee and ended up purchasing 30 assorted cupcakes for a party! The cupcakes were extremely popular and made the birthday special.

Thank you Ash for the recommendations. Will definitely be returning.“

“Incredible well balanced coffee!!! 10-10“

“This is the spot for coffee, drinks (cold and hot), and delicious treats! Everything was top notch and you can tell they use all high quality ingredients and know how to make drinks.
Lots of seating inside and outside with parking, although currently (mid November 2025) there is some construction on the street right outside so it may cause a little traffic, but still enoflow to visit here. The almond croissant was one of the best I have had, seriously.
Very nice atmosphere, vibe, and relaxing, great spot for a break and to relax and have greqt drinks and some snacks.“

“Increíble vista, buena comida“

“My husband and I ate at the Live Oak Café while were staying at the Best Western on the same property. The restaurant interior is bright and chic and, as a bonus, overlooks the hotel pool. Plenty of parking. We had dinner the first night of our stay and loved it so much we went back for breakfast. Everything is fresh, high quality and delicious. If you are in Santa Barbara, be sure to stop by and give them a try. Be sure also to stop and say hello to the cute little finches who live right outside. I have to give a very special shout out to Javier and Luis! They were awesome – made us feel warm and welcome and part of the family. Luis kept the smiles and the coffee coming (VERY important part of my morning) and Javier could not have been more helpful and also has a really great smile! Stop by and say hi to the guys!“

“If you are looking for an Amazing And Beautiful event venue for a wedding reception, a birthday party, a bachelorette, or any occasion venue. I Highly Highly recommend State and Fig in Santa Barbara! From planning to execution, Patrick and Serina made my niece’s wedding Perfect! I don’t use Perfect lightly, as I am known to be critical and a perfectionist especially when it comes to events. They made my niece's wedding planning experience so easy, from booking the venue to providing Customized menu options, and ALWAYS received quick responses any time we had questions as well as added personal touches of their own to the wedding. Serina and Patrick were extremely helpful, detailed, and knowledgeable and knew exactly what we wanted and how they could help. On the wedding day, The whole staff was very friendly, attentive, communicative, accommodating, Extremely helpful, and responsive, from assisting with centerpiece decorations, to serving hors d’oeuvres Always with a smile, making sure Each and Every guest was taken care of throughout the night, I was very impressed! Now for the food, EXCEPTIONAL, the taste was phenomenal, the meat was tender, the salmon was cooked perfectly, Nothing was over/undercooked, so delicious and the guests would not stop talking about how good the hors d’oeuvre and main courses were! Thank you, Serina, Patrick, and your staff from the bottom of our hearts for helping to make my niece’s wedding day beyond wonderful, and Perfect! We certainly will be back even for a weekend getaway! 😊“

“Wonderful French pastries in California with beautiful setting.“

“Everyone seems to have their favorite coffee shop. This one’s mine. The people are nice, the coffee is good, and the seating is plentiful.“

“Yummy!! A must place to visit in Ventura!!“

“I absolutely loved this place during college and still daydream about their Arroz con Pollo bowl. Definitely the best option on campus for fresh, delicious and filling food. I recommend stopping by around 2:30, as its a little less busy than usual and you skip over the lunch rush.“

“Loved my croissant! Super simple but buttery and yummy!“

“The people that work there are great, coffee and delicious desserts !“

“Tasty cupcakes. Beware, the chocolate flavored cupcake frosting has a strong coffee flavor. I didn't see that on a sign or anything, but maybe I was supposed to know... But it was surprising. Tasty, but if you don't want mocha flavor, avoid the chocolate frosting.
Or maybe it was just a problem this weekend...

Regardless, the cupcakes were good. And the chocolate chip cookie was very good. Subtle with a little bit of salt on top. I enjoyed the chocolate chip cookie the most, will likely stop again!“
