Reviews on Cafe food in Santa Barbara, California, United States. Nestled between the shrub-covered slopes of the Santa Ynez Mountains and the clear blue shores of the Pacific Ocean, Santa Barbara is California at its best. Mission Santa Barbara is an example of 18th-century religious architecture, boasting beautiful grounds and a wonderfully detailed interior.

Nice neighborhood brunch place. We were swayed by great yelp reviews. Service by Hannah was fast and friendly; as well as the bussers refilling water and coffee. Chicken fried steak ($12) was just ok- nothing spectacular. Husband was pleased with his Denver omelette ($11). Hash brown serving was unnecessarily gigantic. Total with latte and coffee $33

Started our trip out of town with an early morning breakfast. Limited number of tables but only had to wait a matter of minutes.We were served coffee immediately and from then on our cups were never empty. I selected a four ingredient omelette and it was perfectly cooked. Choice of toast from breads made on the premises. This place is known for their bakery. Our server was friendly and attentive. I hope to eat there again soon!

After a couple hours of strolling State Street, we looked for a low key restaurant and found Paradise Cafe....wow! Very quaint and intimate environment with awesome staff! I had the Teriyaki Burger with grilled pineapple and my daughter had Paradise Burger and my son licked the plate of his Braised Pork! I truly love a good home made burger and this absolutely hit the spot! My daughter said it was the best sheâs ever had and wishes she had eaten slower to enjoy it longer! Weâre in the area for two weeks and will probably see this one a few more times...give it a try!

We weren't very hungry, so decided to share a sandwich. Many places on the water in Santa Barbara were more upscale than we wanted, and we found Shoreline Cafe. Even on a cold, windy evening it offered a wonderful out in the open view of the ocean behind "windshields" and heaters. We shared a ham and swiss sandwich with fries (you don't have to get seafood or tacos!). It was a good size with plenty of juicy meat. They even brought each half of the sandwich and fries on its own plate at no extra charge. Server Madi was attentive but not intrusive and kept my husband's Diet Pepsi glass full.

We ate here for lunch while in Santa Barbara this weekend. The restaurant has been here for a long time but it was our first visit. My wife and I shared a salad then I had a pastry, scone, for desert. The food was very good and the scone was even better. It's a busy place and parking is a little sparse but everyone was so friendly with a welcoming atmosphere. All of the meals we saw being served looked good. We will try something else next time. Glad we finally stopped here, we have driven past it for years.
