I've never had adobado tacos in my life and it only took two bites before I decided they were my…read morenew favorite. Today's meal was easily one of the best I've had in a long, long time. The pork was cooked to perfection: savory, juicy, and full of flavor and fat. The peppers were charred but not burnt. The melted cheese was plentiful. Combined with thin tortillas and sautéed onions and I can't even begin to fathom a better combination of satiating, mouth-watering ingredients. My wife's potato taquitos were also a hit, in addition to their house-made guac and chips and salsa. The ambience was lowkey for a cozy Wednesday afternoon, and the dining room is decorated with such colorful flare. Our server was incredibly sweet and gave us wonderful recommendations for our next visit, too! I genuinely wish I lived in Santa Barbara purely so I could go back and eat the adobado every day of my life. I'll be obsessing over those tacos until the moment get in my belly again. They legitimately reminded me what it feels like to be alive and how grateful I am to get to exist on this wandering space rock, in this moment in time. God bless Del Pueblo Café.

The issue with Del Pueblo Cafe is that although they have variety in their coffee menu, they are usually out of many things. I work nearby and have tried to time my lunch in order to make it in before they close the coffee bar, just to find the drink I want they are out of. I first came in for coffee week and fell in love with their Platano Latte. Myself and my boyfriend would then go in every other week and the barista would only have enough syrup for one or two drinks until it became more consistently no syrup at all. I also follow their page on Instagram and the hours vary greatly depending on the owner?/barista. And while I understand this is a small business, the inability of knowing whether they will be open or have the drink I want has been frustrating. Unfortunately this has lead to us not going back at all. I recommend that they make a permanent drink of the day so that customers know what to expect on any given day, sort of how Shalhoob's does with their daily specials and put it on the menu so that customers who don't use social media know what to expect. With Caje opening near by I do think Del Pueblo has comparable drink variety and quality but the lack of consistency may cause more people default there or somewhere else

I've visited this place three times, and every visit has been an amazing experience. The food and…read moredrinks are always delicious. My favorite is the strawberry matcha it tastes like creamy strawberry milk blended with matcha, and it's so good. The staff are incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful. The service is top-notch, and everyone always makes you feel welcome. They also have both indoor seating and a lovely outdoor patio. The atmosphere is relaxing, and the overall vibe is just perfect. I think I finally found my favorite coffee and bakery café!

Once I dropped him at the place I decided it was breakfast time, it was about 9:30. I had noticed a sign that read coffee & kitchen. I thought that's a pretty direct name, just what I needed. I tried to bring the name up on Yelp, nothing even close...hum. Well I drove over that way and the only driveway in to the parking lot off State street, well that turned out to be very clearly marked Exit Only. Err...there was parking on State so that's where I parked and so walked over. Newish looking, modern, not busy and in I walked. Ah order and sit and wait, okay. I grabbed a laminated menu and had a seat, a one something. Breakfast served till 3 and lunch menu starts at 10am. i chose "Soft" scrambled eggs, which included toast, roasted potato, and two strips of bacon. I thought soft scramble may mean, not thoroughly cooked dry, my way for scrambles. I also ordered a slice of carrot cake, still trying to find one that is close to the 14 carat cake I made back in the day. $35 with a tip, geez breakfast is just not the cheep restaurant meal anymore. The slice of Cake arrived first, should I start with that? Mom would have just given me "the look". My plate arrived soon enough. Yep soft is another word for under cooked, ah well give it a go as my dad would have said. The eggs were soft and very good, what do i know, the bacon was excellent, long strip great flavor. the roasted potato good with that bit of sea salt...yummy. My coffee was getting cool in the half empty mug, no one offered a top off, guess I could have gone inside and asked. I didn't let that stop me from enjoying the almost like mine carat cake. The butter cream frosting was very good and grated carrot shards made for a good appearance. My Blue Ribbon winner can't be beat. I watched one of the servers walk past and right there on the back of her shirt was the logo, a good breakfast at the Brass Bird was all that too. Thank you- Foodguy, martin

We love Olio e Limone and were happy to learn about Olio Bottega, the casual…read morerestaurant/retail/takeout shop next door. We went once to pick up sandwiches, then dropped in last month for an easy Friday lunch. It's been a valuable addition to our Santa Barbara rotation. We will probably take out more than we dine in, but our sit-down lunch was quite pleasant. The shop is small and charming, and it has a lovely patio with full table service. Our waiter was attentive and helpful. We ordered two glasses of Prà Otto Soave, a nice Italian white. Such a treat to have wine on a patio with a sandwich lunch. I've tried a handful of the sandwiches, and all of them have been great. I'd highly recommend the finocchiona, with fennel salami, fresh pecorino, artichoke cream, and eggplant. The capocollo is good too, with coppa salami, spicy pecorino, arugula, and extra virgin olive oil. My husband's go-to is the caprese, a solid sandwich with cured prosciutto, buffalo mozzarella, fresh tomatoes, basil, and extra virgin olive oil, though it does taste much better with balsamic vinegar, which our waiter was able to provide. On the hot side, I've enjoyed the porchetta, with pork belly roulade, provola, roasted peppers, and lemon dijon. Portions are on the small side, and the focaccia was better on our first visit (I'm guessing it was fresher that day), but overall, I've really liked the sandwiches. If you want Italian sandwiches in Santa Barbara, Olio Bottega is probably the place to get them. I look forward to my next lunch, whether it's at home or on that patio.

The upper village retains a very casual, not trying to impress atmosphere of old Montecito.

There are tables and seats across the parking lot in the park area which is very nice. I had the curry chicken wrap, it's good. The club wrap was kind of bland, so wouldn't order that again.

Personally, I'm partial to the Goleta location since it offers a small breakfast and lunch menu My go-tos are the Spring Greens Sandwich, Trout Toast, and the Farmer's Market Frittata, which always feels fresh and seasonal. I'm also mildly obsessed with their Olive Rosemary Focaccia and the jalapeño basil cashew spread. Honestly, I'd put that spread on just about anything. Service is counter style with friendly staff, and there's a beautiful glass case showcasing the day's dishes and fresh breads. I love a good visual moment when deciding what to order, and this place definitely delivers. Just note that popular items can sell out, so going earlier is better. Their bread menu changes depending on the season and produce availability, which keeps things interesting. You'll also find gluten-free options, sweets, and dry goods if you want to take a little something home. The patio is cute and sun-filled, perfect for lingering with coffee and a pastry. Parking is street parking only, but on weekdays there's usually ample neighborhood parking nearby. Just note they're closed Sundays and Mondays, so plan your carb pilgrimage accordingly.

It's just the way it is, can be very difficult to find parking but outside of that I would fully recommend oat bakery. I've gone to all three locations , the one in downtown on Hailey is their main facility which you'll find their focaccia olive bread which tastes amazing there, their montecito one is great as well and it's much easier to find parking as it's located near the Vons plaza on coast village road.
