Super nice people, great coffee (french pressed) and great food. The cured salmon on toast is like 4 bucks and delicious.
Everyone needs to support this place although I have selfish reasons for saying that. I live two blocks away and I’ve been waiting 15 years for a decent cup of coffee on Milpas. When they get their beer situation squared away (a week or so they say) then you’ll know where to find me.
The pictures posted on yelp looked good, but they need to post a menu for me to study before I go.
The menu is up! -shopcafesb.com
went here for lunch..try the “flatbread” wrap, it’s unbelievable! It’s actually not bread, it’s flatbread that they found from the rolling plains of Uganda and brought back to Santa Barbara for us friendly folks. Owners are nice, food is good, and they are expanding their menu – give it a try!
