This coffee shop already boasts a number of locations across the county, but its most recent addition in downtown Santa Barbara will offer guests of the area cocktail-esque signature drinks, all in the form of coffee and without any alcohol. Some of Cajé’s most unique drinks include The Burnout, a coffee with bourbon pecan syrup, activated charcoal and candied ginger, and The Sugarwood, a coffee featuring rosemary, maple, cherry, smoking wood chips and angostura bitters.
A Santa Barbara-based tequila bar and Mexican restaurant, Augie’s is set to open this June to provide guests with a one-stop experience. Augie’s will not only produce its own local beverages but it will also feature an array of other local brands and will work with local ranches for the restaurant.
This fun brand offers a variety of flavors of mead and will soon appear near the Funk Zone. Owned by Santa Barbara native Austin Corrigan, High Seas Mead flavors include Meadacolada, Cosmo Bandito, Mystic Vibration and Cheap Thrills.
