Reviews for Mesa Cafe & Bar in Santa Barbara, CA
Mesa cafe has been a "go to" spot on the Mesa for decades. With a full bar, and patio seating it is a great option for a casual... comfortable meal. They serve breakfast till 3pm and the Benedicts are all awesome. For lunch try the Turkey dip or any of theburgers. Dinner can be busy on the weekends with a very active bar and TV'S going. The outside patio is dog friendly. They havea side extension that is a quieter than the main room. Overall a good cafe with a full bar. Service can be spotty. Well, theyare removing the parklet so it'll be busy inside and on the patio. Good BLT with a Jakes bloody. Read more
Went for breakfast. Patio under the awning was nice. Food was exceptional. Like insane. Traditional eggs Benedict were perfect.... Pancakes were good. Hash browns were crispy and delicious. Chips and guac were refreshing - chips seemed to be home friedtortilla. The salsa that came with the chips and each order of hasbrowns was some of the best I've ever tasted. Coffee wasmedium, only downside. Would go here every chance I got if I lived in Santa Barbara Read more
Love this locals spot. You know how you're in a restaurant enjoying friends and the vibe then you notice the music. It's a... great song. Then there's another good one, then another. Yes, this cafe is that place! Older tunes but all good, and variousgenres. Food is as expected. Simple breakfast fare. That Bloody Mary! A kicker (booze wise, actually could have been a bitspicier for my taste yet, yum). Staff were great. Read more
The food was really good here, but the service, although friendly, was extremely slow. ???? We were there 1 hour and 45 minutes,... after we were seated. And we didn't receive our sides or request for additional water until after we had finished eating. Read more
As to be expected from such a long standing local establishment, the staff here is always friendly. Atmosphere is great.... Definitely a place off the new normal, but worth the trip for me. Read more

By far my favorite breakfast, brunch, and lunch place in Santa Barbara. Great staff, great reasonably-priced food, just a great... time every time. I make the great pilgrimage every Saturday for brunch with the boys, I wish I could have every meal here.Genuine 10/10 Read more
