Shoreline Cafe

This spot is simple with economical pricing, delicious food and and an exquisite view. We had breakfast here and everyone agreed the food was tasty. I had the veggie scramble with potatoes. By far some the best breakfast potatoes. The service was wonderful. Whenever I come back to Santa Barbara I will return again. We sat on the sand and enjoyed the view. The menu is limited but I think that is why everything we had was yummy. There is ample parking, not crowded Beach side location HAPPY CHOMPING

Great spot right on the water! We split the grilled ahi tuna and it was delicious. Perfectly cooked, well seasoned, and a generous enough portion to comfortably share between two people. There's a shaded deck (which does have clear dividers around it so only sort of "outside" if you're worried about covid) and tables and chairs right on the sand. Service was quick and competent. We'll definitely come back if we're in the area or driving by!

Had a nice lunch at an outdoor table, one of 3 or maybe 4 of them that had an overhead covering. There are several more that are on sand with just the sky above. The fish & chips was a generous serving of 4 fillets, & I substituted sweet potato fries for$1.50 more- they were delicious, as was the fish. The tables (including many more inside an enclosure) were for customers serviced by wait staff, not take-out customers. The parking lot there has limited 90 min slots, and paid parking. We had lots of time for long conversations using 2 hours with of parking at a cost of $4 total. Their fish tacos looked really good, as did the chai latte. If had their tuna melt in the past (good) & almost went for the burger or clam chowder. It gets busy for lunch, but arriving at 11:30 there were lots of tables still available then.

INSTANT GRATIFICATION 😍😍 literally parked right in front of the restaurant then right onto the 2nd patio which is on the BEACH. If you’re from a big city like I am you know how valuable it is to go from parking to sitting in a matter of minutes - just that alone is a 5-star experience. Once you’re seated the ocean breeze and the sound of the waves gently dance on your face like a dervish. This Santa Barbara on-beach eatery has an incredible FISH CATCH OF THE DAY delivered onto your dinner table straight from the ocean and configured into your daily ceviche and Baja tacos. Mine today was SNAPPER and my God it was it so fresh and so tasty…so delicious. Good luck peeling me from my fortress of calm gastro-Cabo vibes. Please leave me on the beach Smitten with Splendor…man i am truly at a loss for words - my God… Thank you for SHORELINE CAFE!! 🏝
