Summit Café
Davidson Library, Isla Vista, CA
Crema's Take
“Summit Café has passionate baristas who genuinely connect with regulars, though consistency seems to be their Achilles heel—some customers rave about the experience while others have encountered slower service and miscommunications on custom orders. Their traditional drinks lean solid when executed well, and they offer a nice matcha tea selection that pairs nicely with their quick-grab vibe in Isla Vista. If you're in the mood for a reliable chai or latte and can be specific about your preferences, this spot has heart, but it's worth giving them grace on the occasional off day.”

AMAZING. I love everyone who works here
Staff was incredibly rude for no reason.
Ordered regular chai, tasted spoiled... disgusting
I asked for chai tea latte and ask for no sugar, then the stuff asked me do you like vanilla or spice or regular, I don't know that vanilla contains sugar and said vanilla. I thought I was vary clear that I don't want sugar and it's the stuff's response to tell me there's sugar in the vanilla version after I said I want no sugar.
Ordered a latte, took them over 20 minutes to get it to me. Incompetence at its finest.
