Live Oak Cafe

We went in here for brunch on weekend. It was moderately busy, no waiting time. Ordered Benedict, French toast and pancakes for my kid. Everything looked great when it came, even in the pictures from other reviews but the food that actually came tasted average. Presentation made me expect that the food would be better but it was not even good, I’ve honestly had better French toasts at local diners! French toast came as two toasts one which was dipped in batter slightly and other was barely touched the batter - I felt like I was eating toasted bread with sweet cardamom infused cream which tasted flat bcz it was just whipped cream with cardamom which looked fancy but there was no depth to it! Eggs Benedict and Pancakes were fine like you’d get in any diners. Coffee wasn’t okayish too. Overall I felt the food looked really nice and tasted below average but priced fancy maybe for the atmosphere!

We had a great time at this cozy place! I personally ordered a kimchi burger, and it was so juicy. Loved it.

Great breakfast spot! The Santa Barbara breakfast wrap was delicious and full of flavor. Friendly service and a cozy atmosphere — definitely worth a visit!

A Morning at Live Oak Cafe

We came for Sunday brunch and it was busy when we got there, but got seated immediately. Friendly staff, good food and drinks. My matcha latte had a really cool cat latte art. So fun! Make sure to check out the aviary outside :)
