Joe's Cafe

"I’m in Santa Barbara from Utah for my daughter’s wedding this week. I stayed I’m in Santa Barbara from Utah for my daughter’s wedding this week. I stayed at the hotel Santa Barbara. And across the street is Joes cafe. I ordered orange juice with my breakfast… I have never tasted orange juice like this before. I thought to myself, this must be right off the tree freshed squeeze… I asked the server that yes the oranges are locally and they do fresh squeeze. I’m pretty boring when it comes to breakfast… Hashbrowns, bacon toast is my go to. This place met all my expectations. Excellent service I will be back tomorrow morning"

"Open since 1928. Joe’s Café is a real Santa Barbara staple. Every time I visit town I pass it but was lucky enough to have time this visit to stop in for my first time. We chose to do breakfast although I know it is also popular for dinner. Located on State Street it’s a beautiful walk filled with other shops and restaurants and is closed to auto traffic so it’s pedestrian walking only. Inside is really large and open with a lot of different seating options both booths and tables. We were able to be seated immediately after arriving and our waitress was fantastic. She was extremely polite and very quick with everything. There are large parking lots located close by and the first 75 minutes is free, after that it’s $3 an hour. They have a pretty large menu that’s filled with all sorts of different dishes. Being that we stopped in for breakfast I chose to order my favorite breakfast dish: Eggs Benedict. It was truly great and the eggs were cooked perfectly. The hashbrowns weren’t my favorite but I still finished them and overall really enjoyed it. I also got a cup of chili on the side and thought it was very good. It had beans and meat but still I was a big fan. Their coffee is strong and the iced tea is homebrewed and delicious so I would recommend ordering both. Overall a really great meal and someplace that I would definitely stop at each time I visit Santa Barbara. Service is fantastic and pricing is fair so it’s a real easy recommendation to anyone."

"Stopped by this legendary SB institution for lunch and got the Prime Rib Sandwich lo and behold it had a full sized dinner slice of meat! Our server Ruthie was fantastic and made sure our group had everything we needed! The food was so good we came back the following day to try more items."

"American style breakfast and lunch spot specializing in omelettes, scrambles, and other Americanized breakfast options you probably grew up eating. The portion sizes are generous and the prices are reasonable as well. They also have a full sized bar with plenty of drink offerings. The service and location is great. Everyone was super friendly and we had our food within minutes of sitting down. There is indoor and outdoor seating which is nice considering it is located right on State Street! The tables were clean and everything looked great. The food here was also really good. The food here is basically like any big American style breakfast cafe and you won’t be disappointed. We were happy and actually just ordered one plate to share, which left us full!"
