Food Scene

Downtown Santa Paula - This is a charming place that we visit often. Everything is made from scratch, including the syrups for coffee drinks. A slice of quiche is perfect for a small breakfast, and quite affordable. For a sweet tooth... select from countless baked goods in the case, that are simply delicious!

Near Downtown Santa Paula -Authentic, homemade Italian cuisine nestled in a historic landmark. I recommend the Cavolini Fritti (fried brussel sprouts) and the Pollo Alla Piccata (lemon chicken).

Santa Paula's Out of the Way Hidden Gem - This is my favorite place for a spicy Chili Verde Omelet or Spinach & Mushroom Omelet breakfast/brunch! Love many of their dinner selections too! On Friday's, enjoy the soup of the day... Clam Chowder. It's also another favorite of mine and in my opinion the best in the country!
