Chad’s Cafe

This place is AMAZING!!! Located in Santa Barbara, CA this is a must visit for amazing food. We ate at Chad's first day outdoor dining returned to CA. Their hollandaise sauce is the smoothest, silkiest, most beautiful sauce ever! The 1957 Breakfast sandwich on a bagel was deliciously cooked, and the eggs were buttery. The California Breakfast Burrito was filling, well seasoned, and sort fresh. The Tiger Bites had great taste. The mini-muffins they bring to the table were a special treat. Still warm because they came straight from the oven to our table. Simply put: wonderful location to pause and grab some fabulous food!

This was my first time at Chad's. Read reviews and decided to check it out. Well, it was worth doing. Great selection on menu, food was quick to arrive, generous portions, fast service, reasonable pricing. It is definitely diner vibe, which was fun. The staff worked together like clock work.! One of the best experiences in a long time, we will be back. Oh, dont have to wait in line if you just want to sit at counter!

Had breakfast at Chads and it was great. Do you know you have found a great spot when: 1 - it’s Friday in the off season, and 2- there’s still a line to get in. Had scrambled eggs and pancakes. Eggs were done perfectly. Pancakes were light and fluffy with just a touch of sweet. The Bloody Mary was almost a meal in itself (see the photo for the garnish). It was seasoned just right (not super hot) and the glass was rimmed with salt. And ask you waitress/waiter what kind of alcohol it’s made with (not giving away the secret here!!). Finally - enjoy the warm mini muffins with butter that everyone gets.

We really enjoyed our visit to Chad’s Cafe! The people working there were friendly and attentive, and the food was great. We sat at a table outside, which had a lovely atmosphere—surprisingly peaceful despite being near the road. A great spot for breakfast

Well Chad's didn't disappoint!! We sat outside... because we're in Santa Barbara so you just should! There is a line, till a bit to get seated, I didn't think they had that quite figured out that day, It all went smoother after the party of sixth got their table, didn't have them wait and seat 20 other people. The service was great our server was nice ,cute ,polite, very helpful, food came fairly quick too! But the food Oh man that was really good My wife had the Santa Barbara omelette which you really liked and she is picky!! I had the ahi Benedict and that was seared perfect!! The hollandaise sauce was on point I was having a foodgasm!! Coffee was great nice, hot and strong!! I didn't think the prices were that bad for Santa Barbara and sitting and looking at the beach! It was a little noisy inside but the outside was perfect!

Always yummy food at Chad's and our go to breakfast place when visiting Santa Barbara. Love being able to sit outside. Staff are friendly. Love the complementary mini muffins and my favorite is the corn beef hash.

Loved eating at Chad’s. Their food was delicious, service quick, and even the wait time during brunch wasn’t bad at all. Highly recommend this cafe if you are in Santa Barbara!

One of the best places to enjoy your breakfast. The location is unique and you can see the beach while having your meals if have outside seats. Their chocolate chip corn bread muffins are so good and fresh. Sandwiches and omelette are so good and cooked well. Belgium waffle with Real syrup is recommended.
