Natural Cafe – Goleta

25 Oct

 

After stopping at Alpha Thrift Store in Goleta to pick up items for our Halloween costumes, my husband and I decided to go to Natural Cafe which we have always liked. We started with the hummus appetizer with the pita placed on a separate plate. For some reason, the hummus tasted a little like tuna fish to both of us which was a turn off. We have had it downtown before and enjoyed it, so maybe it was this particular batch. I ordered the Natural Caesar Salad without the croutons (I forgot to take a picture). It was really tasty. A quick note though… the tahini dressing which I used to eat years ago apparently has soy sauce in it so avoid this dressing if you are going the salad route.

Savoy Cafe and Deli

13 Oct

I don’t know why it took me so long to make it to Savoy Cafe and Deli, but I am so happy I finally did. You know when you find one of those places where there are so many gluten-free items available and you can’t pick just one? That was me this morning. Above is the GF banana nut bread that I started my breakfast with. It was as good as it looks. Then, I had a hard time deciding between gluten-free french toast or pancakes. I ended up picking the french toast.

With strawberries, blackberries, blueberries and powdered sugar, this dish was unbelievable. It was also a very large portion. But I didn’t stop there. There were GF cookies in the display case. I ended up taking a chocolate chip cookie and snickerdoodle cookie to go…. you know… for the blog. I wouldn’t want to skimp on showing you how fantastic these looked.

While there, I noticed that there were sandwiches offered for lunch. Since they clearly had gluten-free bread available, I asked an employee if they could make their sandwiches with the GF bread. She informed me that they can! Woohooo! I have found a gluten-free sandwich place! AND… if you are a chocolate person (which I am not), you can also find a GF brownie here at Savoy. Looks like I have found my new favorite place in Santa Barbara!

Tupelo Junction

9 Oct

If you were to ask me what my top three breakfasts in Santa Barbara were, this would be one of them. It isn’t even a breakfasty type dish. But for me, it is the most wonderful way to start a day. Tupelo Junction‘s red beans and rice is so colorful and delicious. It consists of red beans, rice, roasted shallots, corn, spinach, tomatoes and parmesan. Yum.
