Celina & Charlie
things to do
Convivo
Bright, charming eatery across from the ocean featuring Italian inspired small plates (“Cicchetti”) served family-style. A Celina & Charlie fave.
Mesa Verde Restaurant
Celina (and Charlie's) favorite vegan/vegetarian restaurant - a hidden gem for sure! Non-veg folk will appreciate this spot too.
Lilac Pâtisserie
Charming counter-serve bakery featuring desserts and plus sandwiches. Gluten-free options too!
Brophy Bros.
A Santa Barbara seafood classic by the ocean! Can't beat this view.
Zaytoon
Comfy outdoor spot for Lebanese & Middle Eastern fare with an outdoor fire pit & weekly live entertainment. Good for groups and hummus!
The Lark
Urbane eatery in a former fish market offers New American fare in wood-lined quarters with a patio. Great trendy dinner spot, and the mother of the bride's favorite!
Backyard Bowls
The spot in town for acai bowls! Perfect for a warm day on the beach.
Loquita
Farm-fresh Spanish tapas & craft cocktails are served at this busy haunt with a cozy vibe & a patio.
Embermill
Embermill brings wonderful, creative & delicious Caribbean cuisine to Santa Barbara. Get the plantains with balsamic reduction and the jerk chicken - incredible!
La Super-Rica Taqueria
Cult fave taqueria. Worth the wait for tacos!
McConnell's Fine Ice Creams
Delicious ice cream shop, founded in Santa Barbara, California in 1949. Great vegan flavors if you're into that, too. Also check out Rory's if you're an ice cream aficionado.
Handlebar Coffee Roasters
A must for coffee lovers and almond milk latte enthusiasts. Great breakfast options too - Charlie loves a black coffee with a croissant from here.
Satellite SB
Stylish bar & eatery offering refined vegetarian plates accompanied by wine, craft beer & cider. a Celina + Charlie fave for happy hour!!
Juice Ranch
Cute juice/smoothie shop by the beach! Celina loves the 'Yoda'.
Test Pilot
Handcrafted exotic cocktails in kitschy mugs are the draw at this breezy, tiki-style watering hole. Located outside in the 'Funk Zone'.
Santa Barbara Wine Collective
Relaxed, industrial-chic venue offering tasting flights & retail sales of wines by area producers.
Cal Coast Adventures
Great for surfing, kayaking, standup PB and bike rentals/lessons!
Yoga Soup
Best local yoga studio! A Celina fave.
Inspiration Point Hike
Inspiration Point is a 3.5 mile heavily trafficked out and back trail located near Santa Barbara, California that offers the chance to see wildlife. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash. Celina & Charlie fave!
Rattlesnake Canyon Trailhead
Rattlesnake Canyon is a 4.4 mile heavily trafficked out and back trail located near Santa Barbara, California that features a waterfall. The trail is primarily used for hiking, running, and horses and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash. Another Celina & Charlie fave. This is slightly more difficult than Inspiration Point.
Santa Barbara Zoo
Awesome zoo that has been ranked numerous times as one of the nation's best small zoos. Reservations suggested!
