    The Don
    Gracie G.

    I can't get a enough of this place! I'm thinking of going once a week, because i want to try sooo many items. I've already been a couple of times. The first time i shared the Don and bottle of wine since it's in the public market. Another time i took the sandwich to go and ate at my desk, and only ate 1/2 too! I want to try a breakfast sandwich or salad next time.

    Potato Salad on the left(was not filled to the top like the coleslaw), coleslaw on the right

    Was excited that there was a new deli shop but to my disappointment it was not what I expected. First of all the way they packed the Don to-go was horrible and messy. Couldn't they have wrapped it in a sandwich paper and split it into two instead of three like most sandwich places?...I mean they wrapped the rachel sandwich. The potato salad was not full like the coleslaw. The coleslaw was just ok, was not the most flavorful and the potato salad was not exactly my cup of tea. The don was good and had more meat than the rachel but nothing particularly stood out. The rachel was a little disappointing, would have preferred if it had more pastrami to even out the bread so the meat to bread ratio would be equal. Most likely won't be coming back here, will stick to my usual sandwich places I go to.

    From left to right, just half a Gobbler and O.G. sandwich... with bites taken (couldn't resist)

    Highly recommend. If you're in Santa Barbara and looking to pick up a legit deli sandwich, look no further. We devoured the O.G. (pastrami on rye) and the Gobbler (turkey, swiss, and more) in record time. Just zoom into our pic. Both sandwiches were packed with freshness and flavor. And loaded with quality meats / ingredients. It's now located at the rear left of the Public Market. So, if someone else in your group wants Mexican, Japanese, or say tenders, you can pick those up there too.

    Located in the Public Market, towards the back, this deli provides breakfast all day. The salmon Sammy on an everything bagel is filling and delicious. The sandwich is of generous size and flavorful. It has egg, arugula and tomatoes to go along with the sandwich. Enough protein to keep you full. The avocado toast is another delicious treat that they offer with an egg on top. The bread is soft and easy to take a bite. Not hard nor stale. The drizzle of the sauce on top is an amazing touch to the flavor profile. They are friendly and answer questions that you have. Will definitely go back to try other menu items.

This bagel shop operates in a single room looking house, it's very quaint and decorated very cozily inside. They have a bathroom for customers and plenty of outdoor seating, as the inside of the restaurant is on the smaller side. The bagels here are incredible! Very soft and pillowy textures with lots of flavor. I love the unique flavors for both the bagels and the cream cheeses. It was so fun and delicious getting to try them. Ikura - 10/5, the soy sauce-cured ikura was some of the best I've ever had! It paired so well with the tobiko cream cheese and furikake bagel. The pickled onions were a great touch. I love this flavor combination, it was an umami bomb! Heirloom tomato - 5/5, paired this with the garlic herb cream cheese and jalapeño cheddar bagel. This is such a classic summer seasonal bagel, and I loved the chives on top of the heirloom tomatoes. Very delicate and delicious flavors. Lox - 3/5, a decent lox bagel but underwhelming in comparison to the other options and flavors available. The gravlax lacked flavor, and I felt like it was undersalted during the curing process. Pinoy Palmer- 5/5, a delicious mango iced tea with calamansi juice. I thought this was a fun Filipino twist on the drink. I would have liked a bit more calamansi juice to make it brighter and sweeter, but it was still definitely tasty! Caramelized banana latte - 5/5, delicious sweet coffee with a hint of banana flavor. I personally love banana so I wouldn't mind it being stronger, but this way anyone can its subtlety.

    Absolutely great bagel, friendly service, lots of options…read more I ordered the Montecito, which is definitely pricey but it is really delicious. I wouldn't order again because of the price. We sat outside, they brought our orders out to us. Very busy, lots of foot and parking lot traffic on Saturday morning. I have come back and bought the day old bagels, which were great, I love the price for those and they freeze well. Another time I ordered an Jalapeno & Cheese Bagel with Salmon cream cheese, it was super good.

If that's your vibe, go there. I was just looking for a classic bacon, egg, and cheese, so luckily we found Jack's. When you walk in, it feels just like an old school neighborhood donut shop, except they're serving bagels and coffee. My bacon, egg, and cheese was delicious. I ordered it on a jalapeño cheddar bagel and it hit the spot. For a $7 bagel, this was fantastic. Filling, flavorful, and the schmear was on point. My wife, on the other hand, ordered the bagel and lox. This was a bit of a letdown. The cream cheese was delicious and the sesame bagel itself was great, but it was definitely lacking the lox. Truthfully, it felt more like a cream cheese bagel with just a little bit of salmon. That said, considering the price, it honestly makes sense. Not trying to take anything away from the place because overall it was great. The service was super friendly, attentive, and just easygoing. You could definitely tell they have regulars who come in every day because it felt like one big family in there. Last but not least, the black coffee was surprisingly fresh and bold. Nothing fancy, just a really solid cup of coffee. Would I come here again? Definitely. Anytime I'm in Santa Barbara, I'd happily stop by again.

    We had a tough time finding a place to hang out and kill time in Santa Barbara waiting out traffic…read morebefore continuing on to LA. We tried multiple other places that didn't have outdoor seating (so not dog friendly), but then we found Caje on State Street. It's on a protected set of streets where there are lots of shops and stores. There's common outdoor seating just outside the store, which met our objective of hanging out with the dog. Granted it was a hot day, but this store was really really hot inside, like unpleasantly so. I felt bad for the barista! The coffee is reasonably priced, all things considered (fancy flavors, Santa Barbara, crowded location) and the flavor was nice and not one I've personally had before. I asked to go light on the ice and they did a good job there. The wait was a bit long, but we weren't in a hurry, so it was all fine. Good place to stop and relax and have a good tasting coffee.

The location is nice, but it felt really hot inside. The space is small so there's not much seating inside, but they have a small outdoor seating area out front and additional seating options around the corner. They were almost out of pastries so we split their last two croissants amongst the four of us. The croissants were probably my favorite part of the visit. Most of our group seemed to be okay with their coffee choices, but overall no one was overly enthusiastic about their drink so we'd say it's about average. I ordered the iced chai latte and it was probably the worst drink I've had at a coffee shop. It was pretty much a big glass of milk with some chai spices mixed in. Very disappointing. I ended up throwing most of it away. Their staff was okay, but nothing stood out about their service so the experience here overall was pretty mediocre at best.
