Scarlett Begonia has occupied its corner of downtown Santa Barbara since 2011, running a daily menu of breakfast and lunch alongside a separate weekend bubbly brunch service. The kitchen describes its cooking as progressive modern food built on sustainable, organic, and high-quality ingredients, with sweet and savory items made in-house.
A dedicated pup menu points to a dog-friendly patio, part of the come-as-you-are feel the restaurant has built over more than a decade in the neighborhood. It's become the kind of place regulars return to on weekend mornings, prized for its charming ambiance even as reviews describe the experience as hit-or-miss.
