Food was good & excellent service! They close early so get there before 1 or 2pm.

Cajun Kitchen Cafe is a popular breakfast spot in Santa Barbara known for its high-quality menu items and focus on the culinary experience. The restaurant has a simple decor and a morning cafe vibe, with courteous and professional staff. The jambalaya and eggs, served with a side of cornbread, is a standout dish, with perfectly cooked shrimp and a nice balance of flavors. The portions are hearty, and the beignets are a must-try. The coffee is locally sourced, and the service is accommodating. Customers enjoy the creole food, including Seafood Gumbo filled with catfish chunks, bay scallops, and shrimp, which stays hot throughout the meal. The cornbread is moist and adds to the meal. The restaurant also offers plenty of traditional breakfast options like the Chile Verde omelet with home fries and corn tortillas, as well as gluten-free waffles with berries and cream. Many visitors come from nearby areas just to try the food, and some plan to return for blackened catfish dinners. Parking can be a challenge on Sundays, but free parking is available across the street. Overall, Cajun Kitchen Cafe is a great place to bring the family and enjoy a delicious breakfast or creole meal.
