Beautiful setting and atmosphere. We ate breakfast and ordered the shaksukah and protein omelet. The dishes arrived super hot, were delivered upon ready and were delicious. The cortado coffee was tasty and professional. We didn’t try the pastries but they all looked amazing.

For a fun Sunday brunch, my husband and I decided to try Goat Tree. The atmosphere was buzzing—busy in the best way—and added to the upbeat vibe. Our coffee drinks were delicious, and while the food wasn’t particularly memorable, it was definitely good enough to come back for. The real highlight, though, was our server, Meadow—thoughtful, friendly, and wonderfully professional. The food was good, but the service is what will bring us back!

Disgusting service. We are a group of four looking for a place to eat breakfast in the town and to our displeasure we ended up stopping at the Goat Tree. The horror show started from the second we were getting seated. We waited at the seating desk where the host normally seats us but nobody came up, we had to walk up to one of the servers and ask for them to seat us.
Once being seated our waiter dissapeared, we were brought water at one point, no one came up to us to take our order, no one checked in on us. It’s like we were ghosts and not there. After waiting for 30 YES THIRTY minutes we realized they forgot about us and weren’t gonna serve us. This is a extremely rare occurance where a server forgets about the customer and has maybe happened to me once in my many years of traveling. we were literally sitting there, in the blazing hot sun waiting for our server to come even talk to us or take our order. When were leaving and went to have a quick word with the group of waiter(s) at the podium (which were just standing there and chatting by the way) they just shrugged their shoulders and rolled their eyes and were acting all confused like they had no part in this
I guess you don’t need any customers so that you can be this CARELESS!!!! Avoid this place like the plague!! Baffling, horrific service Who even runs this place??? The staff have a serious disciplinary problem Maybe the WORST service i have ever had the horror to come up on

Came to Santa Barbara for our one year wedding anniversary and the hotel that we stayed at had this restaurant for room service. Food is great! Decided to eat at the actual restaurant the following day and the food was consistently delicious. The shakshuka was flavorful and they were able to make the eggs scrambled for me since I dont eat it poached. Customer service is wonderful and the ambience is soothing for an early morning. Their small baked goods section is also scrumptious. Definitely recommend

Love that they are so dog friendly here! We just stopped in for cocktails with our pup and we had a lovely time. I can’t comment on the food but the food I saw coming out of the kitchen looked yummy. Example. The ladies sitting near me split a burger that looked great! The kitchen also split it for them in advance which is always a nice touch. The hostess was extremely friendly and attentive as well. We will happily return for drinks and hopefully food next time :)

I ordered it at the counter, I sat outside for 15 minutes. A. Waiter checked on me and brought me water. At around 20 minutes I asked the waiter to check in my food and I didn't hear back. At 30 minutes I walked inside to do it myself and the cashier who then told me I had ordered at the counter so they don't bring my food outside. If you're going to have cellular internal policies that are communicated then you need to have your staff communicate that I should have ordered at the table.
Subpar service all around

I visited Goat Tree in Santa Barbara and had a wonderful experience. I took out their coffee and cake, and both were absolutely delicious. The coffee was rich and flavorful, and the cake was fresh and perfectly sweet. The barista staff, especially Juli, provided excellent service, making the visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for a tasty treat on the go!
