    I really really enjoy this place, especially if you're looking for a chance to try different types of whole food dishes. Their options are healthy, flavorful, and overall satisfying! Service is always great and the ambiance is a cozy, family-friendly environment. I highly recommend to anyone visiting SB.

    Another great lunch spot in Santa Barbara. Everything is fresh and the ingredients are organic, which I really appreciated. I loved the salad bar and how clearly they listed what was organic on the chalkboard above it. Very helpful. I had the broccoli quiche and it tasted fresh and light. The staff were also very friendly. They had a gluten-free chocolate chip cookie that was surprisingly good. Usually gluten-free cookies are dry and disappointing, but this one was not. Highly recommend if you're in the area and want something casual, quick, and healthy with good organic options.

    0/10 "tofu ranchero".
    Katina Midori K.

    I saw Savoy on multiple lists of recommended vegan friendly places in Santa Barbara. My question is... why? See photo of the "tofu ranchero" I ordered for breakfast: a store bought tostada, unseasoned beans from a can, and a slab of plain unseasoned tofu that wasn't even warm in the middle. My husband (not vegan) got the eggs Benedict and the protein bowl and was not impressed with either. Things here may be organic as advertised, but nothing was homemade. All just reheated stuff you could buy at a grocery store. Very disappointing.

    I called in a lunch order for the office and went to pick it up, and even though it was my first time at Savoy Café & Deli, I was so pleasantly surprised. I can already tell I'll be back--next time to dine in, because the whole place has such a great vibe. The menu is fantastic, offering breakfast, lunch, and a great selection of fresh-baked pastries. The space has this casual, relaxed, organic feel--tables, chairs, people eating, drinking, shopping, and being served all in one place. It feels warm, inviting, and very Santa Barbara in the best way. The sandwiches we brought back to the office were phenomenal. I ordered the Gaviota and the Naples to share with a friend. Both were amazing. * The Gaviota is a warm sandwich, and the chicken was absolutely delicious--super flavorful and tender. * The Naples had fresh mozzarella, vibrant greens, and ripe tomato... you could literally taste how fresh everything was. One of the girls in the office ordered the Gibraltar, and that one looked amazing too. I'll definitely be back to try more of their sandwiches. Prices were fair, the service was quick, friendly, and really efficient. I placed my order and about 15 minutes later they were just finishing packing everything up. They made sure I had all the utensils, napkins, and extras I needed--which I always appreciate. Thank you to the team working that day--you were all wonderful. I'm excited to come back and sit down to enjoy the full Savoy experience!

    As always, Savoy hits the spot. Tasty and nutritious. I love all the organic ingredients and the wonderful fresh made items to satisfy all dietary desires. Take a look at some of the brunch items. Their pancakes looks so good; I keep getting the vegan rancheros which are really good. Sometimes they can be a little spicy and other times. Mild just depends on the peppers. Big shout out to the new owners Especially Romero who comes around and checks on everyone he's so kind and you can tell he just exude health. It makes you wanna eat here even more.

    Breakfast Burrito
    Laura A.

    The restaurant had a very quaint vibe. At savoy you order at the counter and seat yourself. The menu had a variety of options including some vegan options. :) They did not have a kids menu but they were able to make bacon, eggs, pancakes, or french toast for kids. My husband had the breakfast burrito and gave it a 4 out of 5. I had the power bowl. The ingredients were fresh and it was tasty. I just didn't love it for breakfast. Parker was amazing. He was very friendly and cared about the guest experience.

    Great lunch spot. Order at the counter and they bring food to the table. Reasonably priced. Cubano sandwich, quiche Lorraine, all day breakfast burrito and chicken were all well prepared and tasty. Busy on a Thursday at lunch time. Bonus for public parking across the street, free for the first 75 minutes.

    Turkey fritter with fresh organic strawberry salad
    Roy A.

    Fantastic deli! Robust menu with amazing fresh choices ranging from salads, quiches and pastries to sandwiches and entree's. Featured some unique items not seen elsewhere including the scrumptious turkey fritter and incredible coconut butter cake pared with a lavender latte. Love the open, inviting brightly lit ambiance with indoor and outdoor seating. Service was very fast and efficient.

    Delicious breakfast burritos and good coffee in a comfortable environment. We sat on the back patio and enjoyed a bit of sun with our veggie breakfast burritos, which were large and flavorful. Service was prompt and courteous. Worth noting that the menu on Yelp is outdated - breakfast burritos are now $13.95, not $9.95. Still delicious though - we also enjoyed a valentines cookie.

    Vegan: Scrambled tofu with greens
    Anastasiia P.

    At least 4 vegan options are available on the menu. The portions were good, and the food was tasty. We ordered breakfast: scrambled tofu with green and another one with fruits. It was delicious and came with 4 toasts.

Also, one of us had to wait at least 15 minutes for our dish (Charred Broccolini) after the rest of the table had already been served, and another 3 minutes to get utensils to eat it. With respect to the food, the Yoga Pants salad was the best item. Most of the food we got (Tomato Soup, Grilled Cheese, Ceci Bean Ragu) was very oily, including the Charred Broccolini dish which also lacked flavor. Overall, our experience wasn't terrible, but was disappointing. We would not recommend or revisit Satellite.

The only issue that I'd like to point out, which isn't big but did bother me was that the water station that they offered didn't have any indication of which silver cups were clean and which were dirty. I asked a guy who was sitting next to it and he said, "Drink at your own risk." Also, if you're not a fan of little birds flying around during your meal, you might have an issue. They aren't scared of going around people. One jumped on our table and I had to move our drinks away. Aside from that, it was a solid meal and we still enjoyed ourselves!

Located at the very end of the SB Public Market and right next to Cooneys bar. Their menu offers chicken, pork, beef and tofu Bánh Mi, as well as meat skewers, stir fry and salads. Just to name a few. I've tried the chicken and beef skewers which comes in the Hungry Box. I subbed two of the skewers for beef, but in all honesty the beef was too too tough to break down. My one pet peeve is meat that is chewy, dry and too tough to eat. Although it was flavorful, but I wouldn't order it again. I did enjoy the chicken skewer though! The Hungry Box also comes with rice and a salad. Both of which were simple but a nice compliment to the skewers. On my recent visit I ordered the Buffalo wings. They were delicious!

The salad with the box and the pickled veggies in the bahn mi were fresh and crisp too. Just a comment on the bahn mi is there the ratio of bread to filling in the bahn mi was just a little too much bread. Overall though, it we enjoyed it and it made for a very nice meal.
