“The best secret grocery store in Montecito. When you’re at the beach and you’re really hungry this is a good place to get provisions so that you can go back to the beach and keep the party going. Wine, sandwiches, other stuff too, but what else do you need besides wine and sandwiches?”
“This Trader Joe's is ginormous, the number of products are staggering and there's always something you can count on. I like getting lost in the dessert aisle myself.”
“European Deli offers a wide variety of European and Middle Eastern groceries not available in most stores. Their selection is good and prices are usually reasonable.”
“Jerry, at the meat counter, cut some very nice steaks for me; he was very helpful. Imelda at checkout was friendly and efficient. Everyone from the deli to the bakery and the cashier were friendly and very helpful.”
“It’s really nice to have this place within walking distance from Hilton. I can get snacks, drinks & supplies for the stay. And I find this delicious chips here”
“Great location in SB, Trader Joe’s always seem to have small or difficult parking lots to get in and out of, this one is on legendary mode. Still a well kept store with super friendly staff.”
“Nice place. They have good prices and variety of options! And sweets people in whole Santa Barbara. The staff were so friendly and polite it made my whole day. Thank you ? .”
“A good mix of local and regional, including Mexico, nuts, veggies including Sunchokes for example, and fun cheeses along with related baked veggie products. All in a former gas station where the south-facing outer stall has table seating to chill out or picnic alongside a flower-shop's cart while augmenting your nearby restaurant/cafe takeouts.”
“Trying to stop by this cute little corner store every time I’m in town. I love their unique selection of rare-find staples with interesting flavors. Perfect spot to stock up for a picnic in the park or getting a lunch break snack. Love the store and the people running it.”
“a real gem full of good vibes + the freshest, non gmo + heirloom produce - I tried the blackberries + fat uncle farms sprouted almonds, which are superb. the farm is also an incredibly important community resource that we need to save from recent corporate encroachment !”
“This is a great and very friendly place. It's local, Santa Barbara and Toni, the owner is one of the nicest guy you will ever know. I've been shopping there from after it was was old gas station, late 1970's. What a great job they do. I appreciate them so much.”

“New favorite spot for me and the bf!!! While it's off a busy intersection, the interior & exterior is decorated so beautifully you wouldn't ever notice where you are. Serene & peaceful inside & out. Water feature and fairy-like setting on the patio. & the best part: the service! So friendly, kind, and knowledgeable. Loved every recommendation so far. Will keep coming back”
“We ordered a pollo burrito. It was delicious. Perfect balance of beans, rice, cheese, salsa, meat and cabbage in each bite. One burrito was enough for two generous lunch portions.
Happy to find containers of red and green salsas in our to go bag. They were both the perfect balance of flavor and heat.”
“We were on vacation in Santa Barbara, and a friend asked us if we could bring some beer when we came over to visit.This little neighborhood market has a huge selection of all kinds of beer.

Thank you Ariel for your Professionalism....”
“This place is great. We tried to trick our daughter into thinking we were going here and it pretty much ruined our day at Disneyland. Telling my ex husband we are going to foodland on his birthday has become an annual tradition.”
“It's always a fun and great experience to wonder the aisles of the Grocery Outlet.
On my latest trips though I have found items that either weren't priced at all on the shelf or mislabeled. Case in point today I bought about 2 dozen items, and just noticed at home that I was charged $ 4.49 for cereal that was clearly marked $ 1.99. I bought two boxes . I was busy bagging my groceries and didn't notice the price discrepancy until I got home. An overcharge of $ 5.00 .
The only reason I bought these was the $ 1.99 price. Disappointing.
These days every $ counts .
Lesson learned and checking my bill before leaving the parking lot next time.”
“Fathi is awesome. Genuinely, it's been a pleasure to have met and built a relationship with him. Great conversations and stories can be had there, along with a wide variety of your "grab and go" convenience needs on the Westside of Santa Barbara. The early bird DOES NOT catch the written here though!”
“love this little market, the cashiers are always kind and helpful and there’s a great selection of stuff for it being so small. they seemingly have anything you need in a pinch: quick snacks, ice cream, lots of drinks, peanut butter, cereal, canned goods, even paper towels and toilet paper!”
“Caldo de pollo is fire! Caldo de olbondigas! Go check out the cook Jesus!
Fresh bread served too!
Definitely an upgrade! Clean and stocked market!”
“I still have to go and check it out....Keep u posted ??Hell no, do not go to this place, shady, bunch of drunks, they do not take EBT, cash only. Previous reviews are wrong.I couldn't wait to get the hell out of there ?”
“Chile Verde burrito and tacos, shrimp burrito a la diabla, al pastor taco, and rice, beans, and chips were all delicious. Nice people, fresh food made quickly. So happy to find the Beach Liquor Mexican food again”

“This is an amazing little "old school" market. The people are just authentic. Don't let the low rating and bad reviews fool you. They're all from little babies during the pandemic whining about face masks. The people that own/operate this establishment are real blue collar Americans. A rarity in SB. The have true grit and cold beer.”

“Maria and Liz are absolutely amazing cake creators at Pavilions. They are true artists with a genuine passion for what they do. They’re incredibly approachable, always willing to tackle a challenge, and consistently create beautiful work. You can tell they love bringing ideas to life. Highly, highly recommend them!
Last year the cake had to be a volcano and this year it had to be Samurai themed. The Barbie cake was so great, I just had to snap a photo when I picked up my volcano cake last year. Thank you Maria and Liz!!!! you are the best!!!”
