Best coffee we've had in SB. While you enjoy a cup, you can watch and smell as beans are roasted on site.
A true Santa Barbara landmark, this historic building, ten acre garden, active parish and mausoleum, is still home to a group of Franciscan friars as it was when it was built by the Spanish in 1786. Read more.
The pastrami dip sandwich is a monster - what's not to love about it? Read more.
We always look forward to enjoying Rusack's excellent, elegant wines with a picnic on one of the most lovely, oak-shaded decks in the valley.
Head left or east if you have a dog you want to walk off leash. Head right or west if you want to catch fabulous tide pools or avoid dog beach. You can walk for miles at low tide
Perfect pizza crust and thoughtful topping combinations. Pair it with the farro and arugula salad. Even the seemingly nondescript house red is nicely full-bodied wine. And breakfast is amazing.
The Baja tacos are great. This place gets very crowded so try and go there during off peak hours. The food is definitely worth the wait.
Great view with equally good food. Country scramble and orange juice pancakes are delish.
If you have the time, don't miss this amazing park. If you're into anything fauna this is for you!
Santa Barbara's great little gourmet secret. For lunch you want a Duck Croissant or savory salad, with a Mexican coke or house soda.. But you must come back late night for a Thai Basil Burger.
One of the largest collection of Claude Monet paintings in California. Great selection here.
We really enjoyed the beef and pork tacos, smothered in cilantro, onion, and lime. At $1.60 a pop, you can't beat that!
The views are beautiful and the tour goes over a lot of the architecture of the building. It is a really beautiful place. Be sure to go when the Clock Gallery is open!
Perfect for those late afternoon strolls with your significant other. Oh make sure you're walking west for a beautiful sunset.
You can't go wrong here. The cheese plates, picnic fixings, and now coffee and wine bar are excellent.
Great wine selection and plates to share. Anything with pork is a solid choice. The ice cream sandwich is awesome.
