Food is very healthy and priced medium to high. This was my 7th visit. I like their soup and $18 salads. I ordered the Chinese chicken salad and my friend ordered a salad as well. I took a few bites and thought it needed a little bit of dressing. Well asking for a little more was an awful experience.. My friend and myself felt insulted for asking. We are both unhappy with $50 for 2 salads and asking for dressing turned into big deal. You lost 2 local costumers today over a a little salad dressing.
I have tried the Chinese chicken salad as well as the kelp noodle salad and loved both of them! Good portion size, fresh healthy food, and quick service. I also tried one of the treats in the fridge, a spirulina bar as recommended to me, and it was incredible and healthy! I’ve taken to go both times, but looks like they have a nice patio in the back that I’ll have to dine at next time.

I was so excited to come try this new healthy spot. I saw their info on one of their delivering cars this morning. Once I arrived I was helped by the cashier and explained I’ve done juice cleanses before but never been successful, he was doing a great job explaining and helping to guide me with the advice before he was quickly pushed to the back by the owner who was very short with his words, rude and not inviting at all. He quickly asked if I had paid for the juices I had there and proceeded to rush me out by stating I can’t order a juice cleanse for Tuesday only Wednesday. It was a quite the opposite of what I hoped for when walking in there this morning, very excited to find this new spot. Sadly I will be getting my juice cleanses from any where but here moving forward and will not be returning due to the lack of customer service by none other than the owner….it was a very strange experience but again I truly appreciated the help of the cashier who tried to help me understand the best way to do my cleanse originally before being rudely interrupted by the ornery, impatient, very rude owner.Parking: Lacking parking for sure

Ahhh…. that’s what my body said the first time I drank one of the juices made daily, at Ah Juice. Immediately I could feel my body thanking for FINALLY giving it what it needed. I’ve always known I should eat more veggies, but I rarely ever cook, and the idea of juicing a bunch of veggies every day was just not ever going to happen… not to mention all the clean up. The fair and reasonable price per serving is more than worth it to me, to avoid all the hassle and time it would take to do it myself. Their food is also very good. I’m not an extreme health food kinda guy, but mainly because I just don’t have the time to research everything and go out of my way to go to the places I would otherwise need to go. At Ah Juice however, I know the food is always top quality and a safe bet for nutritional value as well as being organic. Can’t say enough good things about them, they are my favorite little restaurant in Santa Barbara!

Love this place!! Super cute little café, with delicious organic, vegan and gluten-free eats. Came after yoga on a Wednesday morning and was greeted by a super friendly gentleman handing out samples of his AMAZING gluten free banana bread sweetened ONLY with sweet potato and banana…nothing else! It was so delicious, I got one to eat there and another to go!You can tell everything is made with care and attention to healthy living! Organic, locally sourced ingredients make this place shine!I WILL definitely be back!
I ordered a muffin and confirmed in-store and over the phone a second time that it was vegan. After finally eating the muffin, the cashier calls back to let me know it's not. A nauseous morning and 30 minutes of throwing up later, I call to ask for a refund for my muffin and drink. The owner says he's only willing to refund my muffin... Really? I begin to kindly explain how unacceptable it is to misguide a customer on food allergens and he rudely cuts me off. He was barely apologetic and wants me to drive 30 minutes across town to give me a refund. Bad service.Though I've proudly been coming here since 2017, unfortunately, this will be my last time.

Very rude employees, terrible service, not a friendly or clean restaurant. There are better health food restaurants in Santa Barbara you should go to instead like Green Table or Natural cafe (for great food and vegan options), Oakberry or Backyard Bowls (for delicious acai bowls and smoothies), and Juice Ranch Cafe or Pressed (they make amazing juices). Try to avoid this place, also parking is terrible forget trying to drive here.
Great wifi! Cute quiet spot for working. I have the lemon ginger smoothie with berries and loved it!10 out of 10 highly recommend ?Vegetarian options: Vegan and vegetarian optionsDietary restrictions: They have gluten free bread

GREAT food! Loved the omlette, gluten free bread. The problem was the service. It took over 30 minutes to get our food and there were few people at the restaurant or apparent take-out orders -- but that wasn't really the problem. In my experience, it's often the case that food takes a while in small, organic food restaurants -- not fully staffed, food takes longer to prepare, etc. The issue was the attitude. We asked about our order 30 min or so after we ordered -- and after seeing people after us served -- and they aggressively told us it was coming, with no apparent sensitivity to how long we'd been waiting. When the food did come, they didn't include our drinks. We asked about them, and it was clear they hadn't even started -- so it took even more time. We were actually done with our food before the drinks were delivered and there was no apology or offer to compensate us for the time. We were surprised -- and saddened. The food is great, but the service isn't, which may be why there were so few people there on a Saturday mid-morning. They may not make it as a result. Too bad.

First time visiting Santa Barbara and glad to find this organic cafe serving truly organic and healthy food! We had delicious breakfasts and yummy pastry and smoothies to go. Friendly staff and the owner share with me the little green hot pepper. Definitely will come back when next time in town!

Excellent organic café in Santa Barbara. I've been to many vegan or organic cafes and this was one of the best. Try their hot chocolate, all the ingredients are fresh and high quality, highly recommend it. We had two different kinds of wraps which were very flavorful and healthy, easy to digest.

Absolutely amazing healthy food! Came here for breakfast and it was delicious and so fresh. Love that it's organic and you have so many options. We got the omelette and egg breakfast and portions were huge and loaded with veggies!
