Chamomile Cafe in Carpinteria, Ca
My husband and I went for breakfast in one of our most favorite spots on Sunday; Carpinteria, Ca! It is a small town about 15 min south of Santa Barbara, towards LA. We normally frequent Esau’s or Cajun Kitchen but have recently come to love this little vegan/organic cafe called Chamomile Cafe. The food is great, very healthy. The pancakes come with homemade granola sprinkled on top and the oatmeal is great. This sunday i had the breakfast Quesadilla, so the BOMB! I can’t even describe how great the salsa was that came with it. What a fantastic invention, a quesadilla for breakfast!? The quesadilla itself was just scrambled egg and cheese but came with avocado, black beans and, as i mentioned already, amazing salsa. My husband Eric had the pancakes with this syrup that is to die for, we had a side of turkey sausage (brilliant!) and a potato pancake.
So my only complaint is the owner. She is so snarky and micromanages the staff so badly that it really ruins the experience. My suggestion would be to sit outside, that way you don’t have to hear her bitch at her staff and listen to her inability to provide her customers with service. Definately go for breakfast, and maybe even lunch and then go for a walk along the beach you will thank me later.
