This is a delightful cafe for breakfast if you're in the area. They have a good range of menu options and the service is excellent. While there were a couple of misunderstandings with our order, probably caused by the noise from so many customers, the wait staff went out of the way to sort them out quickly and were very... More

My husband and I visited the Santa Barbara area for a week and the Jeannine's in Montecito had been recommended by two friends from the area. We loved it. Go expecting this popular local spot to be loud and busy and stand in line patiently because it is worth it. My husband loved the lobster omelet on Easter Sunday. We... More

The food was just OK. The best item I can recall is the biscuit. It was also incredibly small. The one issue I had was that there was no kids menu. As a result, we ended up having to buy full priced plates to get the choices our kids wanted.

I always stop here for lunch after a visit to the art museum, which is just around the corner. Sandwiches are BIG and stuffed with lots of good things. Soup is always tasty and making you wish there were more. Staff members are very pleasant and as speedy as can be expected, given the often-crowded situations.

It is a busy place but worth the wait. We had a Sunday morning breakfast and it was lovely. Would definitely go back again.

We love Jeannine's and stop in here every time we are in SB. We like the lunches here but the pastries are delightful also. The sandwiches are great - the smoked turkey, the egg salad, the veggie, all tasty. I would suggest substituting a salad for the chips that come with the sandwiches. The BBQ salad is really good. The... More

Great coffee and good lookin' food. We had the pecan sticky bun, it was dry and we wouldn't order it again, but all the breakfast food that we saw coming out of the kitchen looked great! Fun place.
