••• The new Goleta location of Cajé Coffee Roasters (5340 Hollister Avenue) has opened. —Noozhawk
••• The folks behind the “storytelling bar” Beau aren’t done with world-building. They have plans for a restaurant called Esther’s, but they’re being coy about the location. (There will be a scavenger hunt with clues; details on that TBA. Obviously, there’s a newly available spot nearby….) What we do know is this: “Esther is Beau’s love interest in the book series hence the second location opening and it’s all tying in to book release next year. And she’s a time traveler so this place is going to be very different.” The Instagram profile promises breakfast daily, “noon plates,” tea and espresso, “tonics and elixirs,” cocktails, “supper fare” on Fridays and Saturdays, and an “apothecary.”
••• M. sent word that Islands restaurant at La Cumbre Plaza is closing, which Noozhawk confirmed with the date (September 27).
••• The Point Market on Storke Road in Goleta now has a drive-through window, “offering specialty coffee along with made-to-order breakfast and lunch sandwiches.” —Restaurant Guy
••• Monte’s came through with its new lunch menu.
