Guidebook for Santa Barbara
Food Scene
Its convenient location and vibrant atmosphere. Locally owned and operated and I like to support Santa Barbara businesses. Sunny and comfortable seating on the patio to enjoy coffee drinks and smoothies. Favorite smoothie is the King Kong. If you're in a hurry, you can quickly grab a house coffee and be on your way. Excellent chorizo breakfast burrito and very good sandwiches for lunch.

The best place for ice cream in Santa Barbara. Well worth the price. The only thing that isn't great is the parking, but it is within very short walking distance from bungalow.

The Santa Barbara Mission was established on the Feast of Saint Barbara, December 4, 1786 and was the tenth of twenty-one California Missions to be founded by the Spanish Franciscans.
More than 200 years later, the Mission continues to be the chief cultural and historic landmark in the city of Santa Barbara. Home to a community of Franciscan friars, a beautiful church with a large and active parish; a museum and gift shop; a cemetery and mausoleum; and twelve acres of beautifully landscaped gardens.
The Mission’s commanding position and grand proportions, graceful lines and soft, blending colors all reinforce her title, “Queen of the Missions.”
