Crema's Take

“Nestled in Santa Barbara, this family-owned Danish bakery and restaurant brings authentic Scandinavian charm to the California coast, with housemade pastries and European baked goods that transport you straight to Copenhagen. The standout experience is settling under the beautiful trees with a genuinely excellent cup of coffee that rivals what you'd find in Australia or beyond, paired with delicacies like their celebrated pineapple colada tres leches cake and buttery cheese Danes. It's the kind of warm, unpretentious neighborhood spot where friendly staff and homemade quality make you forget you're in Southern California—and wish they'd open a location near you.”

What to expect

Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
