Fresco Cafe - Santa Barbara

The pies and pastries were exceptional, and the latte was outstanding as well. We'll be sure to come back here every time we visit Santa Barbara.

My far best pastries ever...especially their daily fresh pies with fresh daily whipped cream...all meals enough for two...great service...

A beloved bistro among Santa Barbara locals for many years. This casual and unpretentious spot offers a walk-up service where you can enjoy delicious daily specials made from scratch, alongside a menu featuring custom soups, salads, sandwiches, burgers, pizzas, and more. There's ample seating available both indoors and outdoors.

This restaurant offers fresh, delicious food with a down-to-earth vibe and friendly service that creates a true sense of community. The owners are genuinely kind-hearted individuals who treat both their customers and staff with warmth. Fresco has a cozy, inviting atmosphere that makes everyone feel at home. There's a lovely outdoor patio that welcomes dogs, and their daily soups and specials are fantastic, along with homemade ravioli and a gluten-free banana cream pie that's a must-try! The menu caters to a variety of tastes. With nearly 20 years in the business, Fresco has garnered great respect and numerous awards in the Santa Barbara food scene. It truly is a hidden gem!
