👍👍 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...

Old Town Coffee Santa Barbara
Coffee shop
👍👍 This is a great place to chill and get the best service on State St. As a former baker I can only praise the best cinnamon bun I ever had was served here. Light & fluffy and surprisingly; the right amount of sweet and cinnamon; pair a gentle hot chocolate…. Yummy for my Tummy!

The environment is also amazing. It is an indoor/outdoor space with an open roof but couches near a fireplace, lon...

👍👍 The moment I walked in I was met with a wonderful aroma. They were grinding their fresh coffee beans to bag. I was on a mission for tea though, and was thrilled by their array of loose-leaf teas. They are priced by weight and you can choose how much you want of each. They're individually bagged, hea...

Corazón Comedor
Mexican restaurant
👍👍 Sister restaurant of Corazon Cocina. They accommodated my corn & wheat allergy and recommended 4 Guisos De La Casa which is essentially 4 taco fillings with a side of tortillas and substituted green lettuce. My boyfriend got the fried quesadilla (de la “esquira”). Our server Brandon was so hospitabl...

Little Heart Cafecito

👍👍 First time trying this place. Will definitely be back. Might be my new favorite breakfast spot.
We ordered the chilaquiles and the Los Alamos Breakfast Burrito. Both were delicious but the burrito was my favorite. All the ingredients were super fresh and flavorful and the eggs were cooked perfectly...

Matcha latte - 0/5 | This was an undrinkably sweet. In their menu they claim to use "AA matcha" but the drink seemed like their matcha powder was a dull, yellowish/brown and not a bright green like ceremonial grade (or high quality) matcha shou...

👍👍 My wife and I first went to Santa Barbara together in 2020. We were walking along State Street, and we noticed this store. My wife had traveled to Turkey, but I have not. I heard of Turkish Delight, but I have never tried it. We went into the store, and the architectural elements were amazing. It lo...
