Crushcakes absolutely CRUSHED our wedding cake. They did AMAZING. I brought some bouquets to the bakery the day before the wedding and they added it to the cake to make it look beautiful at no extra charge. It also tasted amazing. Would certainly recommend them for any special occasion

The vanilla rose latte was one of the best coffees I have had in a long time. The pancakes were a pleasant surprise and will be my go to in the area next time I visit. The food was good and service was very quick. The order area is small and crowded quickly but it didn’t matter once the food got served. You are easily transported to a world of your own, where you can really embrace your tastebuds.

I worked with Justin and the team at Crush Cakes for Riley and Tanner’s wedding on April 24 at Villa + Vine in Santa Barbara, and they were amazing to work with! The cake they created was not only delicious, but gorgeously executed with a vintage vibe and delicate pearls throughout. It was truly a showstopper and quickly became the talk of the night during the reception. Guests couldn’t stop admiring it!
Justin was so helpful and communicative, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free for my couple. As a wedding planner, I am absolutely looking forward to working with Crush Cakes again in August and highly recommend them to all my SB brides/grooms!

They have a lot of different cupcake flavours, all the ones we tried were delicious and the muffin itself was very spongy and tasteful. Their coffee selection was also interesting. The prices avergage high and the local could be a little bit cleaner. The place is close to the center of the city and they also have a small terrace outside. Staff quite distant.
I would recommend to use the outside space to eat and take the coffee to go to see the surroundings, the area is very nice.

Ordered the vegan coconut cloud cake for a birthday for $95 and the cake was clearly either undercooked or had missing ingredients. The cake had the texture of playdough and was inedible. I see in the other reviews that the vegan cakes look normal so it must have been a one off but what was inexcusable was the fact that the owner argued with us on giving us a refund when we went back to the store to show them the inedible cake. The owner was saying that the texture was normal due to the cake being vegan. If that is the case, this company should not be selling vegan cakes! I did eventually get a full refund but when a cake is so clearly badly made, we should be receiving an apology and refund instead of having to argue for it. We ended up getting the Abe’s vegan cake in Whole Foods which was properly baked so again the issue was not due to the cake being vegan lol

Stopped in excited after seeing the reviews and left pretty frustrated. The line was long, which is fine, but the staff seemed overwhelmed and not very friendly. After waiting, half the items we wanted were already sold out. What we did get didn’t feel worth the wait or the price. Won’t be back.

This place is seriously overpriced for what you get. Cute aesthetic, but that’s about it. Small portions, high prices, and average taste. You’re paying for Instagram photos more than actual quality.

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!
