Adama (Santa Barbara, CA)

Adama - Vegan Comfort Cuisine

When I head to the central coast from Los Angeles for a get-away weekend, I stop at Adama in Santa Barbara for a late breakfast or lunch and to pick up baked goods for later.  Adama serves comfort cuisine (french toast, burgers, tacos, eggplant parm, lasagna, nachos, fish sticks, quesadillas, enchiladas mole poblanos), and also some of the best baked goods and vegan ice cream around.  Plus wine and beer.

My favorite dishes: jackfruit tacos • sweet potato fries • all of the baked goods and the gelato

Special features:  gluten-free • order on-line take out menu • cashew-based gelato • gluten-free bread and baked goods • bar (vegan and gluten-free beers and wines) • catering • gluten-free, vegan wedding cakes

One-of-a-kind menu item:
