The Andersen's - Santa Barbara

The Andersen's Restaurant Bakery is a great place to eat. We were fortunate to get a table. You order at the counter, and they give you a number to put on your table. The ordering process was efficient, as was the table service. The food was excellent. I had their famous quiche. It was much tastier than the quiches at ordinary restaurants. My wife had French toast, also excellent. She gave me a taste. I recommend The Andersen's Restaurant Bakery.

Very cozy place for dinner! Inside of the restaurant is beautiful with interesting interior and nice colors. If you want to drink coffee with delicious pastries, then you should come here and try one of the desserts. This restaurant is a good choice, taste of all baking is appropriate!

First time here. Had breakfast outside. They have a most delicious crab cake eggs benedict, the eggs were perfectly cooked. Hubby thoroughly enjoyed his breakfast croissant sandwich. The few desserts we took with us to go were light, flaky and totally worth the extra calories. A piece of advice avoid eating inside your car. The puff pastry layers will shatter and fly everywhere, just like sand from the beach. With over 300 miles to go we couldn't wait until we got home. Yeah, made a good mess in the car.

Brunch is very good; bakery items are spectacular. Clearly very high-quality ingredients (real butter, cream, and marzipan) and just excellent on terms of taste. Almost every trip to or through Santa Barbara necessitates a stop here and if family knows I'm driving through, I have to pick up an order for them, too. French waffles are an excellent place to start.

We were able to sample some of Andersen's decadent desserts at the DIGS event at the Santa Barbara Zoo. First and foremost, their booth was overflowing with decadent goodness. The presentation was fabulous, all sorts of goodies to sample. We took a piece of marzipan buttering, a honey cookie with Earl Grey icing and a simple butter cookie. Everything was divine. First thing this morning I logged on to their website to find that they ship nationwide. I am so excited to send their scrumptious desserts to family in the mid-west and staff across California. What a find!
