"We had a great time at this cozy place! I personally ordered a kimchi burger, and it was so juicy. Loved it."
"We came for Sunday brunch and it was busy when we got there, but got seated immediately. Friendly staff, good food and drinks. My matcha latte had a really cool cat latte art. So fun! Make sure to check out the aviary outside :)"
"Great breakfast spot! The Santa Barbara breakfast wrap was delicious and full of flavor. Friendly service and a cozy atmosphere — definitely worth a visit!"
"The live oak Cafe is situated alongside the best western plus hotel and has a unique live bird tree outside to view. It was quite quiet at breakfast when we went so we were seated fast and had drinks very quickly. The menu has a good range of choices without being over large and our order was in quickly The place itself is tidy and well laid out with a good team looking after you. The food was well presented and tasty. It's a lovely little place with a great quirky twist which we liked. Would recommend it for breakfast especially the avocado toast and their omelettes."
"Great food! Friendly staff and a variety of food which was all tasty. We stayed at the best western and stopped in for late dinner. I got the grain bowl..."
