Guidebook for Santa Barbara
Food Scene
This is by far my favorite coffee spot in town. Not only are the owners (Kim and Aaron) two of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Their coffee is roasted right there in the shop and it is exquisite.

I lived in Italy for 2 years and let me just say that Olio Pizzeria has the best pizza in Santa Barbara.
Have a glass of Barbara d'Asti, and try the Salumi e Formaggi Chef's plate & Carbonara pizza.
