Andersen's Danish Bakery

User Rating: 3 out of 5 stars

I didn’t eat here, so take my review with a grain of salt. I gave a 3 out of 5 overall since I can’t speak for the food or the service. But, after seeing the menu, I didn’t see a point to try the food.

I stopped downtown late Sunday morning specifically to eat here but after seeing the menu I decided to pass; I couldn’t see any value here. I don’t mind expensive, but I expect value for my money. After spending the previous day at Avila Beach and eating lunch ocean side and feeding a family of four for less than $50, maybe I was spoiled. Chicken breast salad for $12.95? Cheese plate for $13.95? Omelette “Surprise” for $11.95? Eggs Benedict for $11.95? Ham & cheese omelet for $10.95? New York steak for $26.95?? Come on guys.

The restaurant sits downtown in the heart of Santa Barbara and is definitely a nice setting, if you like eating on a busy street in the middle of a busy business district. The place was crowded, but there was still room outside and the inside was basically empty. Walking by, the place looked clean and the staff appeared to be attentive and friendly. If you have money to burn, I’m sure the food is at least good, if not great, as other reviewers who have actually eaten there attest.

Every year, I hope I'm spending Easter with my family in Santa Barbara. Because then I get to have the best hot cross buns I've ever found! They make them to perfection here.

All their other food, whether you're eating at the restaurant or just picking up a pastry, is delicious too. The staff don't even mind when you deliberate over the choices!
