Excellent espresso & the best chocolate croissant I've ever had! Cool little local spot with a nice patio.

I went twice for coffee and pastries. I'm sorry to say I will never try them again. They were so unorganized and the wait for coffee (a drip coffee, a cold brew, and an americano) was nearly 20 minutes!! And, the coffee is not that great for the high price.

Food looks better than it taste Waiter asked my friend if I'm the boss when I went to use the restroom??? Then told me I should pay the check or half the check in a for joke directly at me when I was trying to eat and said if I'm the boss ??? Sexism or racism you decide The table smelt like dog-pets. Maybe he was mad because we asked nicely to have the table wiped He kept coming over to the table with fake inappropriate jokes like buy a bottle of wine when one glass of mimosa was ordered. Super passive aggressive waiter weird negative energy

The food was fresh and yummy, and the outdoor seating area was very pleasant. Delicious chocolate croissant too. Our waiter was also friendly and enthusiastic. Overall great place for a quick breakfast/lunch!

I was hesitant to dine here given some of the negative reviews but so glad we did! While staying at the gorgeous Hotel Californian, my family and I enjoyed breakfast at Goat Tree three mornings in a row. The food was fresh and delicious (personal faves were the fluffy lemon ricotta pancakes and avocado toast), my boys sampled various pastries from the display case and all were yummy, and the staff were all incredibly gracious and professional. Only thing I wasn't crazy about was the coffee - a little too thin for me, but their Americano was better. Special thanks to Alejandro, who was a joy to see every morning. Will definitely come back on our future visits to Santa Barbara!

In the center of town in Santa Barbara a nice place to have a good quick bite enjoyed the smash burger and a kale Cesar salad with salmon service was good and it felt very friendly parking was a little hard to find but location was great

Great place. You will not be disappointed. I ordered the Americano coffee, which was delicious, and the Protein Fritatta for food. It was very good. I would have included a stronger cheese, like a feta, or even integrated a peppering ramono into the egg mixture for flavor. But it was delicious nonetheless. I had to add salt to it, and I'd rather let the flavors of the food come out without added table salt. The hot sauce was Chilula instead of a house made. It was good, though; it was one of my favorites. The service is excellent. I gave them 4 stars for the bottled hot sauce. It's not hard to make your own, especially in a high end town like Santa Barbara. I would expect it. However, the prices are extremely good.
Great place for a delicious brunch. We tried the shakshuka and the avocado toast - both were delicious.Service is incredible, friendly and attentive. A super sweet touch was offering a cake that we ordered "on the house" (when they learned it was our family anniversary), very unexpected and nice, thanks!Lots of inside seating, and there's a beautiful large patio for those enjoying people watching.
I can't give a true rating since we didn't eat in or order much off the menu however I will say the atmosphere was cozy and light. It wasn't too crowded coming in on a Saturday afternoon but still bustling with energy. Staff was kind and prompt.But what really got me leaving the review are their pastries. We got a few macarons, a couple cookies and a turkey provolone sandwich. We were very very impressed. Saving it all for later for the train ride home we dug in a couple hours later and everything was very delicious!I'm not one who is very fond of macarons but these are the only macarons that I would eat! Airy with great flavor, nice size too. And the snickerdoodle cookie, to die for! We also loved the lemon ginger cookie *chef's kiss* and the sandwich, very tasty even after sitting a couple hours.I would love to return and try more items off the menu! One day!!Parking: Parking is difficult especially on a Saturday. There is a parking garage nearby but we didn't check the rate. We happened to luck out with street parking just a block away.

A very nice place for breakfast. Avocado toast was excellent. Lovely people, very helpful, getting us cold milk for our tea. (What are Americans thinking when putting steamed milk with tea?)This is very nice alternative to the crowded, queuing up outside that the other breakfast eatery suffers.
