Miller Hotel Eggs Benedict
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!
Crabby Bills Benedict
I'm addicted to this delicious crabby breakfast. I've tried many crab but, this is the Best. When in town, a must have!
Jonathan Winters Gone Fishin'
Truly one of the tastiest lunch/brunch meals I've enjoyed! The tuna, croissant and curly fries knocked my socks off. Summerland offers the BEST food in Santa Barbara, for sure!

Miller Hotel Eggs Benedict
My hubs and I have been going here so many years and have always loved the people, food and location. Super stoked they have gluten free options! Food is always fresh and served with a smile. Hope to see them soon!
Bloody Mary
One of the best Bloody Marys I've had, best in SB TOP 3 and best deal for sure!!
Engine Company No. 2
So I've been coming here since the 1980's when it was still called The Omelette Parlour, and have various favorite dishes over the years. But for the last 10 years or so I've been mostly getting Engine Company No. 2 and asking for it "scrambled". It's just spicy enough and with the sharp cheddar cheese reminds me of my childhood having omelettes during a month in Brooklyn in the 1950's.
Crabby Bills Benedict

Two, Two and Two
I was very pleased with Summerland Cafe's service and food. Sierra was an excellent waitress. She took care of all our needs in a timely manner. I had the Two, Two and Two with Gluten free bread. It's been years since I've been able to eat French Toast. It was delicious and cooked just right. The bacon was just right. I got potatoes instead of eggs and they were perfect. The ambiance was cozy. I enjoyed the antique photography. There's something to enjoy everywhere you look. You can't go wrong with Summerland Cafe. As cafes go, it's a great choice.
Miller Hotel Eggs Benedict
When you want to step back in time and enjoy really, really great food in a charming venue the Summerland Beach Cafe is the place to go. Great food. Great staff. Great Service.
May Lambert, Please
If you made me pick one, I'd have to go with the incredible May Lambert sandwich ... toasted to perfection on delicious bread, this fresh turkey and cheese, piled high, is unbeatable. And, with the choice of sides and a delicious big sliced pickle, you can't beat it. Then again, I have probably enjoyed every single item on the menu, at one time or another. The breakfasts are to die for, and you simply cannot go wrong for lunch, with breakfasts prepared at anytime. The service is terrific and there is a great vibe always present. Do yourself a favor and visit the Summerland Beach Cafe. And its dog-friendly environment on the patio makes it even more welcoming. You can't beat the ease of their takeout business, either, in these socially distanced times. It's fast, clean, and fun. And the jewel of Summerland.
Monster Hot Chocolate
This is by far the best hot chocolate I've ever had. Huge mug with a big dollop of whipped cream and the best chocolate flavor!
Grand American Fare

Summerland Ranch Hand

The bacon here is the best I have had. Love the porch and the friendly service. This is our favorite place to eat breakfast. We had lunch and it was just as delicious.
Ann Graham's Cracker
I was very disappointed. I ordered this to go and be turned into a wrap and it was missing the ham!! What a let down.
Two, Two and Two

Two, Two and Two
Love this breakfast, it's filling without being too much food for breakfast and it's delicious! I've had several different breakfast's here and they all worth writing home about.
Smoked Salmon Scramble
Huge portions, perfectly cooked, never disappoints! I've been here, getting the salmon scramble and a mimosa, on my birthday for the last four years since I moved to SB. Can't beat it!
May Lambert, Please

Summerland Beach Cafe has the best food and best service of any restaurant. I routinely drive 2 hours on the weekend with my kids just to eat at Summerland. Thank you for all you do.
Creative Stereo
Delish!' Omelette and potatoes super tasty!! Awesome coffee. Super nice staff and great overall diner. Will definitely be coming Back here
Tuna Melt Sandwich
Anything that either my husband and I order, no matter what, is delicious. The portions are good sized, they are sweet to our little dog, and the staff are always friendly and helpful! The amazing view is an added plus!
Any Omelette
My husband and I happened upon the Summerland Beach Cafe about 20 years ago and have been frequenting there at least several times a year since. We've had countless omelettes, 2,2,2, salads, burgers, biscuits and gravy, eggs Benedict. It's all delicious! You can't beat the coming together of a charming, historic house, a great menu, and terrific staff! Don't miss this one!
The Bikini Factory
Besides loving the name, this is what I order every year on my birthday! I love the addition of sausage in my omelette.
Smoked Salmon Scramble
I've been passing the Summerland Beach Cafe while heading north for many years. I finally had the opportunity to stop by and check it out. What a pleasant surprise!!! Summerland Beach Cafe is a very charming and quaint historic home built in the 1800's. Their menu has a great selection, so I decided to order the Smoked Salmon Scramble. The flavor of the smoked salmon blended with the eggs and spices was the most amazing combination that you will crave again once you leave. You will want to make Summerland Beach Cafe a regular stop, and don't forget to experience the Smoked Salmon Scramble. I highly recommend it!!!
Crabby Bills Benedict
About six times a year, I make the trek from my home in San Juan Capistrano to the Central Coast for vacation. I leave at 8am to make sure that I'll arrive at my first stop for a great breakfast. I have never been disappointed with the service, the meal or the wonderful people I encounter at this amazing restaurant. In fact, I'll be there tomorrow for my favorite meal! Crabby Bills Benedict. Best ever!
Cheeseburger of Paradise
The food here is excellent! On top of the burgers, we also had chili cheese fries. Also amazing! We ate in a little patio in the back, and then make the short drive to the beach across the freeway and had a fantastic day.
Tuna Melt Sandwich
I love a good tuna melt and this one always satisfies. This place has the best food and great side options for the sandwiches too.
Loon Point
Love this sandwich. Great flavor and is best with a side of curly fries. Can't recommend this place more!
Wednesday's Only Pancakes
I had the buckwheat pancakes with caramelized bananas and walnuts, and they were AMAZING. Perfectly fluffy, great flavor, and a heaping serving for a good price (on the specials menu). Definitely worth a try!
May Lambert, Please
Wonderful, with lots of tender turkey, bacon and cheese. Summerland Beach Cafe is one of our favorites for both breakfast and lunch, and we try to eat there (and now with takeout) several times a month. Staff is very friendly and helpful!
Grand American Fare
The breakfast and coffee are so good. The atmosphere is warm, friendly, and sophisticated! The staff pays attention to detail and they deliver a wonderful experience!
