Rob Davis: If you like hot dogs, ask for the BombDiggity Dog - hot dog w/ pastrami, bacon, cheddar cheese and grilled onions.
Bradley Pirman: Great sandwiches and killer service make this place a fantastic eatery. Bring your cash because they don't take credit cards or checks.
Rob Davis: The staff here work hard to keep up with business and get your food to you quickly, especially at the lunch hour, so be sure to give them a tip when you pay.

Burak Loomis Eren: Start out with Americano, get the Milano sandwich and finish with a tartufo al cappuccino. Delicious!
Dan Pardoe: Truffle ravioli. Pesto. All good!
lemonjelly luukkanen: If the guy at the counter is pimping his caffe lattes, do not ignore him. They are good, and he is really friendly.

Hee-won: Favorite breakfast spot in the entire world. Excellent service and cajun food. If you're up for spicy food, try the cajun scramble with cornbread. So yummy!
MattersOfGrey.com: If you can handle spicy, it is a no-brainer: the jambalaya with eggs (and cornbread) is your answer.
Kilho Park: Cajun breakfast and Cajun lunch. The seafood jambalaya is SO GOOD. Also ask for the corn bread. This place is the perfect breakfast lunch joint in Santa Barbara.
