What’s In-Season

Santa Barbara boasts a year-round growing season, thanks to its Mediterranean climate, rich soils, and consistent coastal breezes. With mild winters and warm summers, the region enjoys the ideal conditions for cultivating a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, and herbs throughout the year. This unique climate allows local farmers to harvest crops such as avocados, citrus, leafy greens, and berries, providing the community with fresh, seasonal produce year-round. The extended growing season also supports sustainable farming practices and the local farm-to-table movement.

This summer, we're celebrating four remarkable loc This summer, we're celebrating four remarkable local spots that have become the heartbeat of Santa Barbara County—true community hubs where food, connection, and creativity collide. From Revolver Pizza's hand-pulled mozzarella and spontaneous jam nights to The Eddy’s modern corner store turned neighborhood gathering place, Your Choice Restaurant’s joyful “No Sad Sundaes” ice cream socials, and Motley Crew Marketplace’s farmers-market-style support for local ranchers and artisans, these places are redefining what it means to come together this summer.

Whether you're seeking music over pizza, gourmet essentials with soul, DIY sundae nostalgia, or ethical market finds, these spots remind us that food does more than feed—it brings us home.

Featured in Edible Santa Barbara’s "Sweet Summer Strolls," this little gem @alessio_artisanal_gelato brings the Italian tradition of the passeggiata to Central Coast life. Owner and gelato‑maker Alessio Carnevale crafts each batch with artisanal care—drawing on rich Calabrian heritage, top-quality seasonal ingredients, and the textures that make gelato pure joy.

🌶️🌽 Craving bold flavors during Fiesta wee 🌶️🌽 Craving bold flavors during Fiesta weekend? Head to Rascal’s Vegan (@rascals.rest) in Santa Barbara for the spicy elote featured in Edible Santa Barbara—crafted by chef and founder Dalan Moreno Griffin.

Chef Dalan grew up loving Mexican street food and reinvented it entirely plant‑based, learning the flavors in Mexico City and perfecting his craft right here in Santa Barbara. He makes every tortilla from scratch using heirloom corn—alongside aztec-twist ingredients like chili-lime Takis, vegannaise, vegan parmesan, cilantro, and lime—for an elote that’s smoky, creamy, and unapologetically fiery.

This weekend, fuel your Old Spanish Days festivities with a dish that celebrates community, creativity, and bold flavor—and proves that vegan food can be anything but bland.💃🌺
