Tondi Gelato
Ice cream shop
👍👍 This gelato is soooo good. My second time here since I first tried it. Super creamy and I always look forward to stopping here when in SB. They give you a lot in the small for the price. My favorite is the mango but I should probably try other flavors too. They also have free pup cups for your dogg...

St. Bibiana
Pizza restaurant
👍👍 This pizza is killer. My partner and I have tried just about every pizza place in town. The crust is so delicious, mix of sourdough and commercial yeast. The pepperoni is the perfect cup-like crunchy variety. We have told all our friends & fam about this place, going back to try another pizza tonigh...

Buena Onda Empanadas | Restaurant • Catering • Events
Argentinian restaurant
👍👍 We decided to do a day trip from Orange County to Santa Barbara and the first stop was going to be lunch. After the miserable drive in bumper to bumper traffic this first stop for lunch had better be amazing to save the day and it was. I've only had empanadas a few times in my life but I really like...

CAJÉ Coffee Roasters
Coffee roasters
👍👍 The best coffee shop in Santa Barbara, and probably top 3 in California, this place is a must hit.
The pictures show all the fancy drinks we tried, with prices ranging from $9-12 and seem like an Influencer's dream. They were all well balanced and deliciously unique.
Fancy drinks aside, the cortad...

Rascal's
Vegan restaurant
👍👍 Simply amazing! Perfect birthday dinner. Pro (?) tip: get two dishes and share half and half with a friend. We got the cauliflower taco and sopes, and split. All vegan. We cleaned our plates! The horchata and Jamaica were delicious too; perfect for our sweet tooth. Very fun environment and the staff...

Eat This Shoot That!
Tourist attraction
😠 I don’t think I have ever been so disappointed with a business before I am even able to visit.
I saw a Groupon for this food tour and was thrilled because I had looked into them in past and wasn’t able to fit it into my trip at the time. Knowing third parties like Groupon take such a high fee for a...

Lab Social
Cocktail bar
👍 Lab Social is a nice little bar. We tried it for drinks recently and it made for a nice evening out. The drinks were good if not a touch on the expensive side. The flatbread pizza was good. The pork butt tacos OK. The seating is cosy. And they had good music the night we visited. The seating...

Chubbies Hamburgers
Hamburger restaurant
👍👍 This is an original Santa Barbara Burger place. They have a limited menu, but you can't go wrong. Best fresh tasting shakes, good fries and fast service. The burgers in my opinion are better than all the other big name places, even the guys with the big yellow arrow.

Let’s talk about their French toast. That alone is worth the 5 stars, but everything was beautifully presented as well. You better really like bananas if you get their banana French toast. Come hungry or b...

Sun Sushi
Sushi restaurant
👍 Damn good delicious tasting sushi. Teriyaki Chicken was bland and the meat was not top of line; otherwise would have rated a 5 star.
We love the Mexican Sushi, Crunchy Roll, Jalapeno, Mixed Tempura, and the sashimi. Was really impressed with the girth of the Tuna Sashimi. Seaweed salad was awesome....
