Came during happy hour and the drinks and food were SPECTACULAR! Would LOVE to return if we make it back to Santa Barbara! Food and drinks were unique and top-notch, street atmosphere awesome for people watching!

The main shopping district in Santa Barbara is State Street. Mid-way along is Andersen's Danish Bakery where we had a great breakfast. Derek, our server, encapsulated the very best in American courtesy. The waffles are to die for, as is the morning breakfast. They entice...More

Everything was perfect: the food, the service, and the outdoor cafe location. The inside cafe was lovely as well. The Eggs Benedict Napoleons were delicious. The Danish ham and the chef's hollandaise were perfection. The croissant French toast was heaven and the reason for our...More

Indoor and outside dining. Reservations are recommended, however, the wait goes pretty fast. The wait staff are very friendly. The baked goods are heavenly! Try them all! A traditional breakfast is also offered, however, the specialty items are excellent. The location is on State Street...More

I'm sure most people attend for the pastries, so I'm sure I'm bringing down the average, but we went for lunch and it was just okay. We had a great waiter, named Derek I think. He picked up on the mood of the table quickly...More

We were walking the town and passed by this upscale place with all the outdoor tables. It was warm and we found a table in the shade. We ordered some sandwiches and some wine and beer. It took a while, before the food arrived. This...More
