The service was bad and one of my friends kept getting a dirty coffee cup and spoiled half and half. The food was okay, but my banana pancakes had very little banana in it.

Called in here whilst driving through from Las Vegas to San Francisco! Needed a good coffee and that’s exactly what we got, plus delicious hot chocolate! Wish we’d had breakfast as well, the food looked delicious, next time!

Great place, wonder if Harry and Megan eat here?

Lovely Mother's Day breakfast. Thank you.

Very pleasant spot for an al fresco breakfast. Service is pretty slow, but the food is imaginative and delicious. Pricey for what you get.

Lovely place , good coffee indeed. There aren't many more exclusive locations in the world than this one: Montecito, Santa Barbara. Back in 1995 I lived on Hot Springs Rd. in Montecito for a short time, i believe this cafe didn't exist back then...

You don't go here for the food in the same way you don't expect good food on an airplane. But tbh, airplane food is better tasting. Ordered tacos and burgers. They were wholly underwhelming. Cheese is not melted, under seasoned, tortillas cold. Burgers looked sad, under-seasoned, and dry. For $16, go to any fast food place and you'll get fries and a drink included for 10x more flavor. Again, it's a gathering spot, not a restaurant. Don't come hungry.

Love their soups which are all made from scratch. Recently enjoyed the corn chowder. So good ?
The Montecito coffee shop located in the Montecito Upper Village shopping center is a quaint, homely place for a relaxing morning. The vibe here is low-key and casual. There is ample outdoor seating with nice views in every direction. All ingredients The service is usually busy and rushed. The general crowd consists of Montecito locals, usually over 60. You get the vibe that this is the senior citizen café for the Montecito residents who don't want anything spicy, or any seasonings, and enjoy probably a good old fashion chicken salad sandwich on rye! In fact the link you majority of the menu is old fashion sandwiches, they've got a patty melt, a tuna melt, and a egg salad sandwich. The food here is VERY basic. Everything on the menu can easily be prepared at home for a fraction of the price. Ingredients are not of high-quality, in fact most of what you can find at Ralph's down the street. The coffee they serve is diner-esque nothing fancy. Strong and hot all day. That said, there's a really positive vibe here, looks like an old-timey place with nice servers of all ages. There's lots to look at while you enjoy your meal and plenty of parking with shops nearby.

This is the perfect corner in the neighborhood to have a quiet and good breakfast. Simple and tasty. With good options. Great patio. Pet friendly. And the best part is the service. They were kind, accepted changes and let us have breakfast out of hours.

Had the Huevos rancheros. Tortillas were soggy, cheese was unmelted. Bowl of black beans were severely under seasoned. Waiter was very okay. Saddest breakfast I've had in a very long time.

Sitting outside, there are pretty views of the Montecito hills. The food is super good, and the ingredients are fresh. Their Breakfast on Sunday is our favorite. Highly recommend for lunch and breakfast on Sunday!

Cute, casual place to sit outside and have breakfast before going on a hike in the nearby hills. I had the California omelette. It was delicious. Prices are ok...
