Wonderful little independent cafe' not far from the airport and a short walk from the new Marriott. Chilaquiles signature breakfast (almost like breakfast nachos) was delicious, service was fast, prices were good. And the cupcake I grabbed for the walk back was perfect.

Ivan. The Man. I called to order cupcakes for my daughter's 21st birthday for delivery. He totally got it, walked me through the best way to order online and then specially, on his own volition, chose a great mix of cupcakes, decorated the box and wrote a note to my daughter. In other words, he delivered in the most amazing way. And, he added a bonus cookie. LOVE. Shout out to Ivan's sterling customer service. The cupcakes look scrumptious. I'll be back and I'll surely be recommending Crushcakes. Well done.

Ordered the lox of love on an everything bagel with a lavender Latte. Everything was delicious, and the latte was perfectly sweet. I did not try the cupcakes, but they look guilty to me. Ill wait to get home to try them..... 🥰

Crushcakes is consistently delicious! My husband and I regularly order takeout during the week for breakfast or lunch and keep going back. Online ordering is a breeze and they always get the order right. Coffee is great and of course the cupcakes! The pumpkin spice is my current favorite. Highly recommend this cafe all around!

I hate to leave a 1 star review, but here we go.

Before I continue this review, I have to give them credit for backing their staff. After working in multiple industries where clients are involved with great feedback as well as complaints, they truly will back their staff and see what went wrong instead of taking my word and reprimanding them. My situation on how things were handled and the quality of a product I got was not up to par for what I know these guys can do. I’ve been into CrushCakes Goleta before and ordered food and cupcakes and EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING, but that doesn’t change the recent experience.

I recently got married and ordered a DAIRY FREE (not vegan. Not GF. And for clarification DF needs to be lactose free and can have eggs where vegan cake cannot) 2 tiered cake. We took the cake out 1 hr prior before cutting and serving per guidance of the staff. As soon as my husband and I went to go cut into the cake, it was hard as a brick and already starting to fall apart. The cake was inedible, and everyone probably took 1-2 bites before putting it down and not continuing to eat. We didn’t even cut into the bottom tier and it was thrown away. I couldn’t even save a piece to save for our 1 year anniversary. There is $500+ down the toilet.

We reached out to Goleta store prior to posting this review in hopes to resolve this situation, but not really. No apology. They kept reiterating that they were a small business and that this is never happened before. They were going to meet with baking staff earlier this week, I requested the outcome, and no response. I understand that they are a small business and for a fact that I personally have worked for small businesses before and that stuff happens. They have reviews with similar stories to mine where cakes or cupcakes were dry and/or inedible. We wanted to make them aware of the situation so this doesn’t happen again to anyone in the future. We did not receive exactly what I ordered and only received a $100 refund. I asked for ingredient list which was sent over and following in the email was “For Clarity this is what we follow when someone mentions they are Vegan / No Dairy.” So they make the same cake regardless if you’re vegan or DF. Technically since the cake was vegan, there was no dairy in it at all, BUT since I stated while ordering DF, we were expecting to have eggs in the ingredient list, which there wasn’t. Being DF and vegan are similar but totally different. Just because someone is dairy free, does not mean they are vegan and gluten free, and same goes for across the board. We weren’t told by time of placing the order that the cake would be made vegan and GF.

In my personal opinion, they should be able to adjust their recipes accordingly to what people as for. I’ve stated multiple times on how upsetting it was for the outcome of said cake.

Hot take: I should’ve been refunded MINIMUM 50% of what the cake cost, not $100. I did not receive the cake I asked for. I understand food costs and cost of labor, but come on. Do better to make this right. I want to keep supporting, but after all of this, I won’t be returning.

I really liked this place. Nice interior, good menu small but with a great selection, delicious coffee, burritos and sandwiches are delicious, served with fruit. The staff is polite, the food is prepared quickly, the pastries are fresh, tasty. I loved the atmosphere so nice to be inside and lots of cute details, nice patio

Got the Rolex wrap this morning, I’ve never written a review for any place in my life. This thing was so fresh and tasty that I decided to come on here and show some love! It was totally worth the price as they threw in a side of wonderful fruit as well. Super tasty and I’d recommend to anyone! Service was great also. In a town that’s lost its way when it comes to pricing and portions, crush cakes got it right. Thanks!
