What's nice about this place is that they also serve Mexican food, so if you're with someone who's not in the mood for Mediterranean, there are other options. Best of both worlds!

I think probably one of the best parts about this was that lunch with drinks came to under $20 which is something I haven't seen in a while. Great value in a lovely atmosphere. Definitely worth the short trot

Overall a 3.5/5 but I'll err on 3 with this one. Definitely give it a try and get more dressing.

"Glad you asked", she said, and recommended the cream cheese donut. Wow. Whoever dreamed this cream cheese donut up deserves a spot in the donut pantheon. Think Donut Man's Strawberry Donut but with a light, fluffy, delicious, decadent whipped cream cheese filling instead of strawberries. I was in seventh heaven. The donut itself was fresh and light, the perfect compliment to the creamy filling. And the coffee was excellent, with a wonderful array of dairy and non-dairy creamers alike. FIVE STARS.

I went to the bread board hoping for a great sandwich. I do have to say, I was happy when sprouts were a selection for sandwiches. Not many places have sprouts. Well, after ordering, I was told they were out of sprouts. I got lettuce. Moments later, they ran out of lettuce. A run to the store by an employee and 40 minutes later, I got my sandwich. (Did I also mention they were out of sourdough bread and the only "whole wheat" bread they had left were the heels?) I got white bread. When I got back to the office, my sandwich was soggy! The bread looked like the cheapest (least expensive) bread you could buy. The lady in the shop explained they did not expect the rush that afternoon. I could be wrong, I'm not a business owner, but shouldn't they have been prepared for that? I did post a comment on Facebook on their page, which disappeared. To add an extra insult, the customer before me waited just as long as I did and was at least offered a bag of chips for her trouble...NOT ME! read more

The potatoes were good and cooked well. The tortilla was nice and toasty not burnt. The egg was fluffy and good. The garlic aioli had a very unique creamy garlicky taste.

I love this place!…read more Long story, but I used to work in the Santa Maria area in the field for a few years before I retired. In the meantime, I took mental track of all of my favorite places for food, and this one made the top of my list. Literally, I drove all the way from Ventura for one of their sandwiches and planned the rest of my day based on that! I ordered Papa's Combo,and it was sandwich heaven! Just an FYI, Betteravia has become a litany of signals and traffic. Case in point for turnover, is the bank that closed then became Black Bear Diner at corner of Miller. Now it's Huckleberry's (with locations in Pismo and Fresno?). If you use Miller as your access point, you are better off. By the fact that this place is still thriving is a good testament to its service and food!
