    Tee Time Baby Brunch at Mulligan's Cafe If you're dreaming of the perfect baby shower, let me paint you a picture of pure brunch bliss - because Mulligan's Cafe in Santa Barbara just delivered a celebration that was nothing short of magical. From the moment guests arrived, the charm of Mulligan's set the tone. Nestled beside the greens of the Municipal golf course, the indoor space offered a cool yet sun lit setting that felt both intimate and festive. The staff welcomed everyone with warm smiles and seamless service, making the entire event feel effortless. The Star of the Show: The Brunch Spread The buffet was a breakfast lover's paradise. Fluffy, golden waffles -fresh off the iron - were served with maple syrup. Crispy bacon and perfectly scrambled eggs added savory balance, while the cafes signature breakfast potatoes with biscuits and gravy brought a satisfying crunch. Endless coffee, mimosas, and Mulligan's Arnold Palmer to toast the mom-to-be Whether you're planning a baby shower, birthday brunch, or just a weekend gathering, Mulligan's Cafe proves that great food, thoughtful service, and a stunning location are the recipe for unforgettable memories. Five stars, big smiles, and one very happy mama-to-be. Thank you specifically to Melissa and Danielle who made all my baby shower dreams come true!

    What a great place to go for breakfast or anytime good food, good prices and the waitress are super nice too! And the view seating outside is really nice too

    Fat on the right, meat upper left. Not so Prime Rib

    I am very sad having to write this review as I have never been disappointed with their food. But... as a trusted Elite Reviewer I am compelled to be fair on ALL my reviews, not just positive ones. I chose Mulligsn's for their incredible baby back ribs. But when my friendand I saw they had a prime rib special, neither of us could resist. When we were served, my jaw dropped to the floor. You will see by the pictures, that it was half fat!!!! We had to ask for an extra side plate to put the fat on. It took me a long time to cut it all out and off. By then, my food was cold. Thinking back, I should have refused it at $33.99! Darn. The baked potato had about a teaspoon of sour cream. The wait staff was so busy we didn't ask for more. The best part of dinner was their banana cream pie. Yum. I filled up a to-go box with the fat and gave it to two gentlemen for their doggies. At least THEY enjoyed it! I hope you have a strong stomach when you see the plate of fat. My friend and I both agreed we would never order that again! We were so disappointed. It was actually nauseating. Trust me, get the baby back ribs!

    I moved near Muni-Golf Course and remembered that Mulligans served up some good food. Popped in for a Sunday breakfast. Had some great service and food. The views of the golf course from the patio were great. This a great little spot. Come check it out! Also. Some Serious Senior Discounts available if you fall into that category.

    Horrible quality of food!! Enchiladas with rice, which I didn't order. Bacon and cheddar potato skins that looked like a pile of slop!

    We ordered through DoorDash. Not only was our order incorrect but it looked and tasted terrible. I ordered cheese enchiladas and received meat. I bit into it and almost threw up. The cheese on the enchiladas and the potato skins had shredded cheese that wasn't melted. We threw away our entire order.

    Where's my Spicy Avocado Cheese Burger I paid for? This burger on the right is a Cheeseburger which is cheaper than the one I ordered

    The first time I went to Kin it was for the donuts. I watched as everyone was leaving with drinks…read more I have never been one to go to a coffee shop or tea shop for drinks. The next time I tried the Suuk (mugwort). What a culinary delight. Next time it was Hojicha. I am now a regular! I have worked my way to Strawberry Rose Matcha. The best!!!!! It isn't just the food. When you walk in you feel welcomed. The vibe is relaxed with wonderful music. All this comes together with the most incredible team. You talk with strangers while sitting on the bench. I now have my "Kin Friends". In today's world it is such an unexpected experience. Kudos to Tommy & Will for giving us such a wonderful place to just go unwind and enjoy their wonderful creations.

    This is my love letter to kin. Y'all don't understand when I say I've been waiting to go to here…read morefor over 2 years AND IT FINALLY HAPPENED THIS WEEKEND. ...and it was worth the hype yall. I might have been a little ambitious and went back to back days and tried 3 drinks in 2 days... The strawberry drinks were my fav and they were SO good because they use real strawberries in their puree so you can taste the chunks. The tea was also SOOO strong and you can tell they use quality powder. I'm craving the strawberry matcha or hojicha again as im writing this. The black sesame matcha was good too but the black sesame definitely dominated the matcha so it felt like i was just drinking black sesame cream which i love black sesame but just wished there was a stronger matcha taste. I'd recommend this drink if you're looking for more of a creamier, dessert-like drink. As for the treats, the ube mochi muffin was my favorite. It was my first time trying a mochi muffin and I liked how chewy it was! We went too late so they ran out of all mochi donut flavors except the cinnamon one but it was still good cuz it tasted like a churro :) i NEED to come back so i can try the rest of the drinks and desserts...until next time the wait is pretty long ~30mins to 1 hour probably depending on when you go. i went on a saturday afternoon and a sunday morning and had to wait both times interior is INSANELY cute and well decorated!

    Love all the Caje Coffee Roaster's cafes locations, but this one is an extra favorite…read more The baristas here are always fantastic, friendly, generous, and great no matter how busy. And this lovely cafe can get really busy. This is also the caje cafe where I tried their hot cocoa for the first time and aclaim it to be one of THE BEST HOT COCOAS EVER!!! It is really easy to swoon over the magical drink choices here, and not get something so plain like a coffee or cocoa. But everything caje does is excellent. And, wow, this is rich, pure, wonderful hot cocoa. Get with their house made almond milk. It is very low sugar and made with excellent quality chocolate, so actually close to a medicinal drink. Tip: For hot drinks here always ask for extra hot. Sit outside in their parked courtyard. Comfy seats perfect for people watching, reading, and friend chats. A few charming seats inside too. Always ask for extra hot

    I'm very picky about coffee and don't say that lightly, but this is hands down one of the best iced…read morevanilla lattes I've ever had. You can tell everything is fresh. They use quality beans and even make their own syrups, which makes a huge difference. I wish I had something like this where I live because I would be there all the time. It's absolutely worth stopping by, and the staff are genuinely so nice.

    4.5/5 Kind and friendly staff! Amazing food! And…read morepicturesque outdoor seating! Placed right on the beach front, Jeannine's has the perfect combination of ambiance, service, and taste. The wait can be a tad long (but nothing longer than you'd expect for a brunch spot). Instead of placing your name on a waitlist, you stand in line outside along the beach while staff begin handing out menus. Once inside, it's order at the front and self seating afterwards. I highly recommend sitting outside if possible. The calm ocean winds and sunny atmosphere is just perfect for a nice brunch. My table ordered 4 dishes and enjoyed each one. The lemon poppyseed pancake was not too sweet and had paired perfect with the fresh blueberry jam. And the Norwegian benedict was lovely. I would highly recommend these two items! Overall, this is a must-go brunch spot in Santa Barbara.

    4.5 Oh this place is niceee, you must secure outdoor seating…read moreto enjoy this place to the max. The cashier umm they're okay, the person outside while we were waiting was super kind and passed out menus to us while telling us everything but the items and constantly updating making the wait not miserable. I like the staff. Now onto the food and drinks, so I didn't take a photo of my drinks but I did get the chai latte and lowkey I think it was pretty good, not the best but good. My family members also got drinks such as the house brewed coffee and the latte, all pretty good I can't lie but again, still not the best but it adds to that brunch experience. They do charge for hot water (0.5 cents) and then another 0.5 for lemons in there... but like okay... They do give out free water!! You go up and get it yourself. So Eduardo's omelette: I personally just am not a big fan of all the omelette action but my dad liked it and you can tell it's a good portion of food, tasted decent Lemon Poppy Seed Pancakes: VERY STRONG, wasn't expecting a very strong lemon poppy seed taste but it kind of hits you in the mouth. With syrup and the whip cream they give, it tastes good! Lobster Benedict: best thing ever, lobster is good tasting and doesn't taste fishy, eggs perfectly made to how you custom it (for all dishes) Norwegian benedict: delicious
