We went because they have lots of gluten-free baked goods. They have a large selection but we have to go back tomorrow for some fresh bread because we went too late in the day they only make it fresh and apparently sell out daily. We bought banana nut bread, a brownie, and an amazing pumpkin muffin. We'll be back tomorrow to try the fresh baked GF bread and the GF tabouli!!

Green Table's gluten-free Pesto Avocado Toast is seriously the bomb! The pesto it’s vegan, but I never tasted something more delicious and they have two options of bread, I went for the sourdough and I wasn’t disappointed. Seriously, they nailed it with this one, the best toast.

We came in here after another restaurant screwed up our reservation. We had traveled that day, it was 7pm on a Friday and luckily we were able to be seated here at Mizza. The service was great, friendly and responsive. The food was great, the prosciutto, burrata, peach sharable was so good!! My Pizza was delicious and big. I did not leave hungry. My wife had the gluten free pizza and really enjoyed it. Thanks for saving our evening and giving us some fun memories as well.

During our stay in Santa Barbara we had dinner at Finney’s one evening. Here you can enjoy delicious American cuisine combined with various types of craft beer. We had a great time sitting outside under the arcades. The music inside was a bit too loud for us. Gluten-free burgers are offered.
