Went there today and had the veggie tacos. There were several grilled veggies, cheese, salsa & beans and they had no taste. The ambiance is wonderful as we sat on the beach on a beautiful day. My husband had the veggie burger which was pretty dry. They really need to use either the Impossible or Beyond burger patty for more flavor & juiciness. Maybe next time for a drink only. Service was great!

Food was excellent and service too! Only one complaint sign states no pets allowed yet a customer sitting next to us with a dog on his dog bed and she fed him from a plate from the restaurant. I probably will not be back. I won't know if I'm eating off a plate a dog ate off. Health department wouldn't be happy about this I'm sure.

Loved it here, quaint beachside Cafe. Stopped here on our way to Paso Robles, because Katie Perry said they had the best margaritas. They are very good. We started with the fried Calamari and some clam chowder and then had fish and delicious shrimp tacos.

Shoreline Cafe is the perfect beach spot in Santa Barbara. Located right on Leadbetter Beach, this casual cafe offers an unbeatable oceanfront atmosphere. Dine on the shaded deck or with your toes in the sand as you enjoy their varied menu of beach fare. From the popular Beach Burger to fresh fish dishes, there's something for everyone. Wake up with hot coffee and classic breakfast options like Huevos Rancheros. And don't miss their weekday happy hour - it's the ideal way to end the day at the beach. A Santa Barbara institution since 1997, Shoreline Cafe is a must-visit for locals and visitors alike. With its perfect setting and delicious casual cuisine, it's the ultimate beach experience.

Great breakfast, and our waiter, Kylie, was exceptional. Her disposition and attentiveness made our time here wonderful... along with the beautiful beach views from the deck. The food was great... OJ + (fresh!) bluberry pancakes for me, and heuvos rancheros with v fresh fruit (good selection, no melon) for my wife. Highly recommended!

I just had the most amazing chips and homemade salsa fresca from the snack bar. Thank you so, so much for making dining/snacking at the beach accessible even to folks with not-so-deep pockets! It was incredible, especially for the affordable price point. Can’t wait to come back and try everything on the menu. And the drinks I saw coming out from the bar looked absolutely amazing as well.

One of the best, most relaxing and delicious places I’ve been to. Visiting in Santa Barbara and went to Leadbetter beach to unwind. Got a little hungry and shoreline cafe was perfectly right next to us on the beach. We got the nachos to share with carne asada added. At first it seemed a bit pricey but my oh my was the portion size and taste worth it. Meat was cooked perfectly, chips were delicious, and to top it all it was a mountain of nachos. Next time I visit I will make sure to come again to subside my nacho cravings! Service was great, two people catered to our needs with quick service and the beach views from the patio were spectacular. I highly recommend it!
