A busy, but tasty and worth the wait breakfast and brunch place. Great omelettes. Coffee is the typical American nuclear strength burnt variety, if that’s your jam.

Incredible food, service and wonderful home style vibes. You have got to try this place out!

I always have the best experience whenever I have breakfast at the Sunshine Cafe in Santa Barbara. I have moved to the Bay area and miss being able to eat there more frequently. The food and service are absolutely incredible and the coffee YUM, just perfect! I can't wait to come back! Thank you! Cristiana

Upon entry, we were seated quickly in a nice clean booth. My wife ordered a mimosa (next time, ask if the customer wants garnish in their mimosa, mint is not normal), I had coffee. The attendance was beyond expectations. I ordered an eggs Benedict with excellent hashbrowns, eggs poach perfectly, and the english muffins were soggy. Most likely caused from the chef putting the poached eggs on the toast too early, leaving the water to soak the toast. On another note, I would have the manager check the toilets to see if they are loose. There was an odor of sewer leak upon entry. This is a common issue when the gasket under the toilets is not properly sealing the sewer pipe from the toilets. We will return, I don't think this is cause for concern, but it should be noted. Thank you.

Wow! The food is spectacular! I had the Santa Barbara Scramble (shrimp, pesto, avocado and a whole lot more). My wife had the Salmon Benedict (the best Benny we have ever tasted). It’s a little place, in a strip center, but an absolute must try.
