Afternoon delight!, 3/9/2010
Reviewer: Lorna from Las Vegas Nevada
What a pleasant surprise from this unassuming breakfast & lunch cafe. The server was extremely pleasant and helpful our glasses were never allowed to go empty. As we usually do we asked for suggestions on what to order and spoke with Joe the owner. We tried a selection of different items including their specialty Hawaiian French Toast, served with a lovely selection of fresh seasonal fruit and dusted with powdered sugar it was a delight. The chicken tacos were my favorite, served with a very fresh garden salad it was tasty and crisp not like so many places that serve a salad which consists of some limp iceberg lettuce and dressing. We also ordered the turkey Parmesan sandwich and the Dave Carter sandwich named after a friend of the owner! The portions were good, the sides of fries and onion rings were tasty and well cooked. All in all a great experience I would definately recommend it and will be back when next in Santa Barbara


Great variety for breakfast...great coffee, 11/4/2009
Reviewer: Chuck Benwitt from Santa Barbara, CA
Try the Hawaiian "French Toast"...really good, the short stack was more than enough. The menu choices are numerous and show that they are really creative. The prices are fair, and the service was a little slow, but so what? It's not a "fast food joint" All in all a good place to eat and a little different than most.


Good food, decent service, but AWFUL coffee, 10/25/2009
Reviewer: Lucy P. from Santa Barbara, CA
This place is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner now, but I just go there for breakfast. The food is pretty good (you know, standard breakfast fare) but the coffee is horrendous. I don't know if it's the coffee they use or how they brew it, but it's bad enough that I now prefer to go elsewhere for my weekend breakfast outings.


decent breakfast- worst service, 10/14/2009
Reviewer: james from Santa Barbara, CA
I have been here a few times on and off since I have lived in SB, the food is always just OK. This last time when I came for breakfast I experienced the worst attitude from a server I have ever had at any restaurant I have ever dined at. ( and I eat out almost everyday!) I won't go in to details for there are so many remarks this girl server said to me that had so much attitude she was rude. I mean at one point I had the thought "aren't I the paying customer?" anytime I asked for anything this server would not anwser the question instead she would walk away rolling her eyes and sighing under her breath. Wait a minute isn't that a server's job to take orders and bring what customer wants? You would have thought I was asking for a million dollars the way she reacted. The sad part is I have seen this server at other local restaurants, maybe she is just burnt out as a server, but she needs a serious attitude adjustment. Putting the service aside this place does have the best hawaiian french toast and chocolate chip pancakes in Santa Barbara.


The best french toast in town
Reviewer: Kristin Lashley from Santa Barbara, CA
By far the best french toast in town and the fruit is fresh. The service was great and our server had a beautiful smile. I highly recommend this restaurant for breakfast!
