Great place to have breakfast during the week or weekend. Had the breakfast panini and heuvos rancheros. Food is made with care with only the best local ingredients. Taste and price is great. Food is very healthly and wholesome too.

A landmark experience: crab pulled late afternoon. Smoked Asparagus w a variety of toppings, artichokes and half head of baby lettuce salads... dessert was a Moroccan almond orange cake w honey yogurt sauce- just out of this world. Early supper is great for families. Julia the owner is a fine chef and the food is as spectacular as the venue... More

This is a great boutique style cafe that serves natural and healthy food and coffee. i rate it tasty and convenient since I like everything I've tried there and it's within walking distance from work. They are not easy to find but it's worth the search. Seating is limited and I believe there is only street parking. Check it out.... More

Last week I had my first meal at the Goodland Kitchen. I am happy to have found a new, healthy restaurant. I work around the corner from there so it's a great choice for breakfast and/or lunch. Parking is tough to, I would either go before or after the lunch rush. I had the butternut squash soup, the Ellwood Sandwich,... More

Amazing selection of gourmet take out, unique menu optons, vegan and gluten free choices available. So very yummy. The only negative is parking near here is terrible, the food is worth it.

Went to Goodland Kitchen for lunch for the first time, after hearing positive things about it. The food was fresh, which is great! The mint lemonade was excellent as well. However, the portions were very small for the price paid. I paid $7 for a "full sized" garden salad, but got a roughly 6 by 4 inch box (that wasn't... More

Definitely a place to add to your "lunch" list. Fresh & yummy, although there's not a lot of seating.

Loved the fresh food from Goodland Kitchen so much, we went back the next time we were in Isla Vista. The patio was packed with customers both times we were there.. Each time we thoroughly enjoyed our meals, from the salads to the sandwiches. Even if there is a long of customers, the premade, prepacked menu items make a short... More

I have tried two of the kitchen's salads and find them to be absolutely excellent. The presentation is stunning, and upon blending the myriad of colors the smell/taste are unrivaled. My roommates stammer at the sight of my take-out lunches, so much so that I'll have to bring home enough to share next time. The sandwiches are also quite good,... More
