Travel Guide to Santa Barbara

Doug de Wet: Best coffee we've had in SB. While you enjoy a cup, you can watch and smell as beans are roasted on site.

Brad Barrish: Breakfast bowls and smoothies can't be beat.

Andy: One of my favorite views in santa barbara is from this park. A hidden gem.

goop: A true Santa Barbara landmark, this historic building, ten acre garden, active parish and mausoleum, is still home to a group of Franciscan friars as it was when it was built by the Spanish in 1786. Leer más.

Food Network: The pastrami dip sandwich is a monster - what's not to love about it? Leer más.

Coach Kate: Love this place! Beautiful views, and amazing merlot!

Doug de Wet: We always look forward to enjoying Rusack's excellent, elegant wines with a picnic on one of the most lovely, oak-shaded decks in the valley.

Maeapple Chaney: The back patio is a perfect place to enjoy a wine tasting

Kymberly Williams-Evans: Head left or east if you have a dog you want to walk off leash. Head right or west if you want to catch fabulous tide pools or avoid dog beach. You can walk for miles at low tide

Steven Wirt: Perfect pizza crust and thoughtful topping combinations. Pair it with the farro and arugula salad. Even the seemingly nondescript house red is nicely full-bodied wine. And breakfast is amazing.

Venkatesh Hodavdekar: The Baja tacos are great. This place gets very crowded so try and go there during off peak hours. The food is definitely worth the wait.

Anna James: Great view with equally good food. Country scramble and orange juice pancakes are delish.

Eric Weiskotten: Look for lucky the penguin

Pieter Walsweer: Boats, lots and lots of boats

David Bradshaw: If you have the time, don't miss this amazing park. If you're into anything fauna this is for you!

Ryan Gantz: Santa Barbara's great little gourmet secret. For lunch you want a Duck Croissant or savory salad, with a Mexican coke or house soda.. But you must come back late night for a Thai Basil Burger.

Allen Kim: One of the largest collection of Claude Monet paintings in California. Great selection here.

Laurissa: We really enjoyed the beef and pork tacos, smothered in cilantro, onion, and lime. At $1.60 a pop, you can't beat that!

Alexia Cardenas: The views are beautiful and the tour goes over a lot of the architecture of the building. It is a really beautiful place. Be sure to go when the Clock Gallery is open!

Ryan Khoury: Perfect for those late afternoon strolls with your significant other. Oh make sure you're walking west for a beautiful sunset.

Emily Limon: You can't go wrong here. The cheese plates, picnic fixings, and now coffee and wine bar are excellent.

Whitney Fishman: Great wine selection and plates to share. Anything with pork is a solid choice. The ice cream sandwich is awesome.

Lears Fool: Local crab literally right off the boat. As a kid who grew up on the Gulf of Mexico, I have high expectations for fresh seafood. This met them. So. Darn. Good.

Chris Visinho: All of the beer. Freshest and best tasting in the area.
