Summer in Santa Barbara is sunny skies, gentle breezes, and simple joys in every bite. 🌿✨ In our latest issue, Pascale Beale of @pascaleskitchen invites us to unwrap al-fresco living—where a picnic, a light lunch on the terrace, or a casual nibble among friends becomes a moment of celebration.

Elizabeth David said it best: ‘There is nothing like eating outdoors. The taste of food is enhanced by the open air.’ Whether it’s tagliatelle swirled with summer pesto, juicy white peach crostini, or silky peach-pistachio semifreddo—you’ll find that summer tastes brighter in the open air!

So grab a friend, pull up a chair under the sun, and let the season sing. Read more in our summer issue.

Coming in from Lompoc, delivering to Santa Barbara is @te_stees and their banana pudding cupcake. A Notable from our spring edition of @ediblesb. 🧁
Shante gets creative with new varieties every week!
The Nilla wafer banana pudding #is the classic, but try the Biscoff cookie version for an updated treat.

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.

🍧✨ Sweet Summer Strolls in Solvang just got sweeter—thanks to Alessio Artisanal Gelato! 🌞

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.

Whether you’re shopping, wine hopping, or enjoying one of Solvang’s classic strolls, a scoop of velvet‑smooth Stracciatella, lavender, or pistachio is all you need. Grab a cone, enjoy the sunshine, and embrace the art of summer leisure—Italian style. 🇮🇹🌿

🌶️🌽 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.💃🌺
