Things To Do in Santa Barbara

Bowlero Santa Barbara

A beautiful walk overlooking the cliffs and a great spot to watch the sunset. This is Eve's favorite place to walk and is pretty much in our backyard

Deans Coffee Shop

Our weekend go-to order is a breakfast boppies and their Lori's Vietnamese iced coffee. Be warned, it is much sweeter than the original version.

A great breakfast spot for those craving pastries! This is where Jason convinced me buttermilk bars are the superior donut

South Coast Deli

One of our favorite sandwich shops. Jason's go-to order is the Pesto Chicken Panini, while Hayley's is the Tall Dark and Vegan (with real chicken instead of vegan chicken)
