Crema's Take

“Santa Barbara Sunshine Cafe is a breakfast-obsessed spot where the real stars are the thoughtfully composed dishes like the Santa Barbara Scramble and what reviewers consistently call the best Eggs Benedict they've ever had. It's got genuine homestyle warmth and a loyal following that keeps the place packed, though fair warning—the coffee leans toward that bold, traditional American roast rather than specialty-focused brewing. If you're after excellent food in a casual, family-friendly setting where you won't mind a wait, this is absolutely worth the trip.”

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast on the menu. Family friendly.

Upon entry, we were seated quickly in a nice clean booth. My wife ordered a mimosa (next time, ask if the customer wants garnish in their mimosa, mint is not normal), I had coffee. The attendance was beyond expectations. I ordered an eggs Benedict with excellent hashbrowns, eggs…
