My friend was raving about the smash burgers, but the pizza looked incredible too, and the Mexican food was tempting. We ended up at the newly opened BBQ spot tucked at the end of the street and got the combo: 1/2 lb each of sausage, pulled pork, brisket, plus two sides. The sausage stole the show for me! I'm not usually a sauce person, but their sauces complemented the meats perfectly. The "innocuous" white bread? Turned out to be spectacular sourdough. Everything was reasonably priced, and honestly, this is the best BBQ I've ever had. Can't recommend it enough!

Kids ate up the spaghetti without complaint, adults enjoyed the lasagna, tortellini, and linguini. Each meal came with bread so we happily ended up with a huge bag of leftover toasted buttered bread.

And it's a such a cute little cafe and a quiet town, we have been itching to go back ever since, to try more of their food items and of course get more coffee :).

I was excited to try this cafe with my friends after seeing that it had many positive Yelp reviews,…read morebut I was severely disappointed in the taste of my drink and in the service throughout our visit. Though the shop was cute, clean, and had a lovely covered patio outside, I wouldn't recommend it for those stopping by for coffee on road trips. I got a seasonal spring drink called the Irish Cream Mocha and asked for it iced. Unfortunately, it just tasted like chocolate milk. Now, I like a good chocolate milk, but not when I paid for a specialty flavored mocha! I didn't detect an Irish cream flavor or even a hint of mocha. As a latte, it was way too milky and lacked the depth of an espresso drink. Contrary to its description on the menu, it wasn't balanced at all. How misleading. My friend tried one of the craft energy drinks, and it looked pretty, but she said that it was flat and tasted kinda meh. She also got a visually-appealing soda, which apparently tasted much better compared to the energy drink. Another friend ordered the seasonal Dulce de Leche Latte, and she mentioned that it was a bit too light-tasting as a latte. That checks out since my mocha also seemed like it was missing the coffee component haha. Her latte did taste like a caramelly drink made with actual dulce de leche, but she didn't appreciate that the "light" dusting of cinnamon was more like a heaping teaspoon of it thrown into the drink. We noticed that our receipts showed a higher price than what was printed on the menus. We only found out after paying and reviewing the receipts that they charge $0.75 for making drinks iced. We weren't informed of this charge by any of the ladies at the registers upon ordering, and we didn't see any signs stating that iced drinks would incur an additional charge. No explanation anywhere. Another thing that threw me off was when a certain barista handed off the completed drinks in the pickup area. She wasn't wearing gloves, and I don't think she washed her hands in-between tasks, but she was placing the drinks onto the counter while holding them by the top part, aka the lid from where people drink! I was shocked at how unbothered she was while doing that, as if that's how she was trained, or she was never corrected.

The food and honey are fresh and delicious, and their honey hand balm is soft and deeply moisturizing. Their staff are some of the kindest people you'll ever meet and you can tell how passionate they are about the business and making a positive impact on their community. At one point they noticed I didn't get my order in time, and brought out an extra slice to thank me for my patience, which goes to show their attention to making their customers happy and quickly correcting any mistakes. Food was extra fresh and absolutely delicious. Pepperoni Pizza - 5/5. Soft sourdough crust and mini pepperoni cups. Salad - 5/5. Fresh. Croutons and ranch made in house. Cookies - 5/5. Peanut butter chuck and chocolate chip cookies were perfectly chunky. Hot Honey - 5/5. Extra spicy (and when I say spicy, I mean spicy), and goes well with the pizza!

It's a beautiful beach town with lots of warm people taking care of the businesses and restaurants in the area. My review is not for the restaurants in the square but for the actual development. It feels out of place in this sleepy beach town. It feels like private equity saw a perfect opportunity and dumped money for high returns which by coming here they are definitely getting that as it was packed to the gills on a midweek night. It is beautiful but it takes so much away from what made Carpinteria. I saw so many of the surrounding businesses that serve similar foods empty. They could have courted those restaurants to Linden square but of course...PE. So I am not saying I won't go back just disappointed that they developed is such a manner.

Couldn't wait to finally stop in. I came for lunch on a weekday which was ideal. This is definitely a new and popular spot amongst locals and tourists so my recommendation is to definitely come on a weekday or early/off hours. If you like the buzz and the hoards of people then weekends at lunch are for you lol. Linden Square has some amazing businesses that are well known from the SB area. So nice to get some of these gems down south. Obsessed. While they only have room/space for a few vendors - they are some of the big ones and you won't be disappointed. On my trip down I opted to start with trying Corazon Cocina (see my own review for them). The food was a 10 out of 10. I also appreciate that you can sit anywhere in the Square and as long as you have a pager to go pick up your food The space is pretty much open for whatever feels comfortable for you. I opted for a two seater table amongst the wall, which is very casual and private, but they have large tables for bigger groups and a very cool lounge area with cushioned chairs and a fireplace, etc.. This place is definitely a vibe and very upscale for the area. Lastly, I will say it is a very clean and well designed area. Large bathrooms, and a nice combination of indoor and outdoor space. Like anywhere in the city parking can be a little rough but at no fault of the business, just be prepared to walk a little bit as they don't have a big private lot. Definitely my new favorite foodie destination in this part of town, can't wait to be back soon and with some more friends :)
