I can't describe how much I love this place. It's so cute, the staff are SO kind, and the food is great. (I recommend the french dip!) If I could rate this 6 stars I would. If you are in Carp, definitely stop by, you'll thank me later.

I’ve been making monthly trips to Carpinteria for over a year. Thank goodness I discovered Carp Kitchen early on. It’s my first stop after I arrive to buy my favorite items, supplies and WINE! Deb is the owner/chef and she carries the best wines in town at the best prices. She knows the vineyard owners of many of the varietals, so that is a plus. She also has exceptional price points on exceptional wines. There is food to go, dining in on the back patio or a bistro seat at the front door. Everything I’ve had there is excellent, but I am addicted to the egg salad and her homemade aioli. Lastly, she hires well! The woman who will greet you and take your order is my favorite reason to go. Enjoy! Enjoy! Enjoy!

We always hit this place up during our visits to Carp. The owner, Deb, is lovely, and it’s clear she really cares about her customers and products. The sandwiches and soups are delicious (they have gf bread!), as are all the baked goods (gf muffins!). We loved the split pea soup the other night. I always end up picking up other gourmet items to try when I’m back home, like oils, fancy chocolates, tinned fish. Love having this as our regular spot in town.

This place offered so many options for us as we wanted to take sandwiches to be eaten the next day. One sandwich was specially made for a vegetarian. The cookies looked wonderful so we added them to our take-out. Next day, sandwiches were delicious! Great service here and will remember to stop here again when in this part of California!

The food and service was incredible. Our large group called ahead a few minutes before arriving and they were ready for us. Every sandwich and salad was prepared fresh and very timely. Our group was visiting from out of town and playing in a local tournament. The staff was very friendly and extremely helpful. The service was Amazing!!! Cute gifts, yummy treats and excellent service.

Horrible service and lousy overpriced sandwich. I had good expectations for this place while I was visiting town but it was an absolute bust. Have also heard from other campers that they had bad experiences as well.

Great little kitchen and gourmet grocery - a fun experience and option to grab and go something premade and packaged or from the menu home to eat or take on a picnic. We got a Godmother sandwich and a Mediterranean salad with chicken added. The portions were big - they were delicious - and the service was great - they make it clear they'll customize items and make what the customers would like. The cakes, cake slices and other goodies looked awesome in the takeout fridge! I bought a nicely wrapped bag of almond toffee, my favorite. Definitely recommend.

We ordered a Rosh Hashanah meal from Carp kitchen and it exceeded all out expectations! Amazing quality and freshness, absolutely gourmet quality and incredibly kind and generous owner. Carp kitchen is the best place to have a lunch, order a takeout, order a festive meal, or just shop for the gourmet food.
