Your Guide to SB Dining
Eat (Breakfast)
128 E. Canon Perdido St. Santa Barbara, CA
We may be bias, but we think that this is the best cup of coffee you’ll ever have. Also, try their Cowboy Cookie.
528 Anacapa Street Santa Barbara, CA
Another local coffee roaster, who makes a mean Pumpkin Spice Latte from scratch.
Local donut shop that also has amazing Breakfast Sammies. We never skip a visit to Hook and Press when visiting Santa Barbara!
15 E Figueroa St, Santa Barbara, CA
131 Anacapa St c, Santa Barbara, CA
Sit down casual breakfast spot. We recommend getting a vanilla bean cinnamon roll for the table!
Located right on the water at Hendry’s Beach, it’s the best breakfast with a view! We recommend their Boathouse Signature Breakfast. (they are also open for lunch/dinner)
Pro Tip: They don’t take reservations, so get there early to beat the rush.
2981 Cliff Dr, Santa Barbara, CA
Eat (Lunch)
38 W Victoria St, Santa Barbara, CA
Multi-business casual dining hall. Without a doubt we recommend Corozon Cocina!! (they are also open for dinner)
A SB staple for Matthew and Alanna! Smashburgers, smoked wings and award winning beers. If you can’t make it to Fridays Welcome Party, we still recommend you try and visit.
406 E Haley St #3, Santa Barbara, CA
715 Chapala St, Santa Barbara, CA
Casual fresh fish eatery. We adore their variety of fresh fish tacos and seafood options.
Matthew’s favorite! Serves burgers + fries and is located inside of Sunburst Winery in Carpenteria, CA (15 mins outside of Santa Barbara).
5080 Carpinteria Ave, Carpinteria, CA
Local seafood, a clam bar & signature Bloody Marys in a casual harborside space. Hear us out, the food on the Pier is somewhat of a tourist trap, so we recommend traveling the extra 1/2 mile to get good seafood! (They also have a walk up window)
5080 Carpinteria Ave, Carpinteria, CA
