Chad’s Cafe

"Had breakfast at Chads and it was great. Do you know you have found a great spot when: 1 - it’s Friday in the off season, and 2- there’s still a line to get in. Had scrambled eggs and pancakes. Eggs were done perfectly. Pancakes were light and fluffy with just a touch of sweet. The Bloody Mary was almost a meal in itself (see the photo for the garnish). It was seasoned just right (not super hot) and the glass was rimmed with salt. And ask you waitress/waiter what kind of alcohol it’s made with (not giving away the secret here!!). Finally - enjoy the warm mini muffins with butter that everyone gets."

"Loved this place so much that we went back the very next morning! Mimosa flights were fantastic and fun, and the food options were delicious and filling. Huge portions, so be aware! All staff were attentive and friendly, and be aware that on a Saturday morning, there will be a line up out front! I assure you it's worth the 20-minute wait! Everyone raved about the food options and taste! Definitely a fun spot. My ONLY complaint... music got so loud people were literally yelling at each other at other tables! Lol Other than that, it was a great spot for breakfast or lunch!"

"This place was top notch! You definitely cannot beat the sidewalk tables overlooking the ocean. The service was incredible, and the food was outstanding. I loved the mini chocolate chip muffins. This is a must eat for breakfast when visiting Santa Barbara!"

"A brilliant time sharing my experiences of Sambos with the staff. Food was great. Scene outside was wonderful. Thank you Chad for keeping this restaurant open and looking so much like it did originally."

"Mimosa flights are worth trying. Even if there is a line, it moves quick and worth the wait. Pet friendly. Coffee is a must, locally grown, and sourced - try before adding the sugar and creamer. It's worth it, I promise."
