McConnell's Fine Ice Creams: Amazing ice cream and an absolute MUST for your visit to Santa Barbara (where McConnell's originated). Make sure to sample plenty of fun flavors!

Crushcakes & Cafe: Great for a casual brunch/lunch or to pick up a quick coffee or dessert. One of the parents of the grooms’ favorite spots.

Helena Avenue Bakery: Perfect for a casual bite to eat.

Lilac Pâtisserie: Perfect for those who disdain gluten (aka it’s gluten-free). Also good for gluten lovers and gluten-indifferent people.

Handlebar Coffee Roasters: Excellent coffee. A must for Jackie every time she visits Santa Barbara (Greg is a freak and doesn’t drink coffee but steals sips of Jackie’s).

Zaytoon: Delicious and casual Lebanese food with ample outdoor seating (blankets provided if it's chilly out). The frequent location of bachelorette parties. If you’re lucky, you may even get a visit from the belly dancer, which is not at all an awkward situation when you go with your parents/in-laws like Greg and Jackie.

Brophy Bros.: Seafood on the wharf. A reservation likely needed.

Olio e Limone Ristorante: Classic Italian food.

bouchon Santa Barbara: French fare.
