Jeannine's Restaurant & Bakery

This was a pleasant treat during my visit to the Santa Barbara area. The usual place I had been getting breakfast wasn't open and I was on a time crunch. I got here right at opening and started with a pumpkin scone while waiting on my tri tip omelet with hash browns. The scone was awesome and I really wanted to buy/try more pastries. My omelet was huge and delicious (maybe a little overkill on the onions). Service was fast, and I ordered 4 breakfast sandwiches to go for the others in my group. They were nicely packaged for carry out and I'm told were very good. I'm not a coffee drinker so can't comment on quality of that, but there was definitely a full barista setup, as well as a cooler with juices, sodas, and even beers and champagne.

We had brunch here on a Saturday morning. We sat in the outdoor patio tables & really enjoyed the 70* weather while we waited for our food. The breakfast food was very good... we had the Eggs Benedict & the All American breakfast. Both were on par with what you would expect. The coffee was good & also tasty mimosas. Be aware there are no free refills on coffee as an fyi. That would be the only negative.

What a nice hidden gem, a breakfast cafe offering a good selection of typical breakfast dishes, with a great variety coffee and fresh pastries. There is no table service, you order at the counter and they bring it to your table. I order the Chiala Khalua Banana French Toast, it was yummy! Also ordered a Chocolate Chip pastry, tasty with the good amount of chocolate in it. I will patronize this establishment again.

Great spot for breakfast! It’s not a huge place, but it’s well organized and efficient. You order at the counter and then find a seat. The line looked long when we arrived, but it moved quickly, and we had no trouble finding a table. The menu offers plenty of choices — especially for omelets, Benedicts, and pancakes. Our family of four ordered different dishes, and every plate came out fresh, hot, and full of flavor. You can really tell they use quality ingredients. The staff was courteous and attentive. They quickly cleared and cleaned a table for us, which we appreciated. The food arrived promptly, and everything tasted great. The fresh orange juice and iced coffee were especially good. Highly recommend for a relaxed and delicious breakfast!

Stopped in for a bite just before closing. I couldn't resist Crab Cake Benedict with a Flat White. This came with potatoes and fruit. And it was AMAZING! The eggs were cooked perfectly, crab cakes DELICIOUS and the hollandaise perfectly complemented the meal. The potatoes were so tasty and the fruit was fresh. I got there right before they closed (1:30 pm) and they were closing right around me. Didn't ask me to leave or stare at me, just cleaning all around. I most highly recommend Jeanine's!
