Our favorite places are Dune Coffee, Handlebar, and Cafe Caje. Tip: Order a breakfast burrito at Rudy’s and then grab a coffee at Handlebar right next door. We also love grabbing a coffee and a farmcake at Pierre Lafond in Montecito!
The best breakfast burritos are at Lito’s on Haley - get a coffee at Caje and then call in the breakfast burrito - you won’t regret it.
Other great food spots are Lily’s Tacos, Super Cuca’s for burritos, The Shop for breakfast, Brophy Brothers for seafood, and Natural Cafe for dinner. Carlitos, Ca Dario, Lucky’s and The Lark are all great for dinners out.
Santa Barbara is home to some amazing wineries. The Funk Zone is a great place to walk around and explore the different varietals that Santa Barbara County has to offer. Our favorites are: Municipal Wines and Pali Wines for nice tastings, Topa Topa for beer, Lucky Penny for pizza, and Mony’s for tacos.
The Santa Ynez Valley is also about 45 mins away and has some beautiful vineyards and eateries - including our favorites Bob’s Well Bread, Industry Eats, Bell’s, Stolpman Vineyard, Lofi Vineyard, and Brander Vineyards.
