Esaus Coffee Shop - Carpinteria

Great place for breakfast. Their Outlets are wonderful. Bring a partner though it is to much to eat for one. Staff is really helpful they all go out of their to keep up with you.

We love breakfast in Esau. It will be our last day of camping breakfast. The food is always good, the portions are huge! Prices have recently risen, but not too much. It is worth the price for the quality and quantity of your meal

This is truly my favorite spot for breakfast and lunch! The French toast is the best I've ever tasted, and the hot links are fantastic as well. The waitstaff are incredibly friendly and attentive. Esau is the perfect place to unwind and savor a little slice of paradise (along with four slices of French toast)!

Esau is an excellent spot for breakfast, brunch, and lunch. The food and service are fantastic, with a wide variety of menu options to choose from. Most dishes come in generous portions, ensuring you won't leave hungry! The grits served at breakfast are particularly delicious. It can get quite busy on weekends and holidays, so it’s a good idea to arrive a bit early to avoid a long wait. The atmosphere is fun and beachy, making it a great place to enjoy a meal.

I have two rules for choosing a restaurant. Actually dozens, but only two that are applicable to this conversation. 1. Any place that calls themselves World Famous is to be avoided; and 2. A good restaurant has both Crystal and Tabasco hot sauce on the table (at least back south anyway). If they're really classy they'll have a bottle of pepper sauce too. Esau's Cafe brags that they are World Famous since 1939. They also have Tabasco, Tapatio, and Cholula on the table (good alternatives to Crystal on the Left Coast) . These are contradictory signs and I wasn't sure what to think. I was greeted with huge portions of good, fresh food. The biscuit was gigantic. Their New Orleans Scramble wasn't bad (especially with Tabasco), and the home fries were perfect. The Breakfast Burrito was devoured by my better half. Well, only half devoured. It was huge! The staff was very friendly. Service was a little slow, but it was packed and the waitresses appeared to be overworked. The place is pricey, but not out of line for the area and location near the beach.
