Come for the fun... stay for the bacon. The Summerland Beach Café is located just 3 miles south of Santa Barbara in the charming seaside town of Summerland! Locally owned and operated since 1981, this rustic and charming restaurant (and dog friendly too) is just a block from the beach. The Summerland Beach Café features home-style cooking and a friendly, attentive staff all in a cozy, Victorian era home.

“I'm addicted to this delicious crabby breakfast. I've tried many crab but, this is the Best. When in town, a must have!”

“This was our first time dining at The Summerland Beach Cafe. We were surprised by the quick, amicable service, and stunned by the delicious food! We each ordered the Miller Hotel Eggs Benedict Breakfast. I had forgotten the taste of buttery folds of Hollandaise sauce enrobing poached eggs fit for royalty! (We both agreed that Gordon Ramsey would be impressed!) In addition to our Eggs Benedict, we ordered one of the Summerland Beach Cafe's reknown hot chocolates. A mug the size of my face appeared at our table, throughly perfumed with a seasonally appropriate snowfall of cinnamon. Underneath a snow cap of whipped cream lie a creamy river of warm cocoa. There was something unique about the hot chocolate we just couldn't pick out until our waitress explained that the chocolate was a medley of both mexican, and dark chocolate mixes. When we finished our meal, we left the Summerland beach cafe satiated by the browned breakfast potatoes, perfected eggs, and warmed inside by the gracefully spiced cocoa. The next time you pass through Summerland, be sure not to miss this cafe as you drive by!”
