The Worker Bee Café

We were at Carpinteria for almost a week from NYC and came across this really cute restaurant where we had breakfast. We ordered corned beef with potatoes hash and biscuits & gravy with chorizo. I have to say, this was one of the best tasting breakfasts we had in a long while. When the biscuits & gravy showed up, I thought that there is no way I'll be able to finish it. However, somehow they've managed to make them so light we both were able to finish everything and felt really good after. Service was very efficient and food came out quick. Definitely a great place, highly recommend!

Our go-to breakfast spot!! The food and service are both amazing here!! You will not be disappointed! Our coffee cup was never empty, and the portions were exactly enough.

The service is absolutely amazing the most friendliest people ever…. Great food , great feel and yummy mimosas
I can’t say enough… we will always go back when we are in Carpinteria
It is an absolute must if you are ever in Carpinteria

The Worker Bee Café in Carpinteria, CA, is a charming little restaurant that is definitely worth checking out. From the moment you walk in, you'll be greeted with outstanding customer service that will make you feel right at home. The food is equally impressive, with a menu that offers a range of delicious options.

For breakfast, I highly recommend ribeye and eggs. The steak was cooked well and had a rich, savory flavor that paired perfectly with the fluffy eggs. The country potatoes were crispy and seasoned just right, adding a nice crunch to the dish.

The eggs benedict with toast was another standout dish. The eggs were perfectly poached and the hollandaise sauce had a nice tangy flavor that complemented the dish. The toast was also perfectly toasted, with a nice crunch that added a nice texture to the dish.

The waffle and berries are a must-try dish. My daughter always orders this dish and they do a great job here at the Worker Bee Café. The waffle was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, with just the right amount of sweetness. The fresh berries added a nice tartness that perfectly balanced the sweetness of the waffle.

And let's not forget about the mimosas. The full-glass mimosa was a great way to start the day, with a refreshing and delicious flavor that paired perfectly with the breakfast dishes. My wife and I love the mimosas here. It's one of the reasons we keep coming back.

Overall, the Worker Bee Café is a great spot for breakfast. The customer service is outstanding, the food is delicious, and the outdoor seating in the back adds a nice touch of charm to the dining experience.

Everything is absolutely delicious. Our server recommended trying it before adding any condiments and he was SO right. I'm very picky with hash browns and I try them everywhere I go. These are now at the very top of my list. The curly fries were equally delicious and the sandwiches were perfection.

The food is really good. We had the biscuits and gravy and cornbread beef hash (the corn beef was superb). I also tried the cinnamon roll special, and it was pretty tasty.

The worker bee is a family favorite of ours. My husband and I visited in 2019 on vacation and found this stop, and we have since relocated to the area and visit The Worker Bee at least once per month. The owners are so incredibly sweet and accommodating. The food is delicious. We've never had a bad meal here. Highly recommend you give this spot a try

Delightful patio seating. Food was great, we had the corned beef hash and chicken fried steak Benedict. Both were delicious!
We truly enjoyed our conversation with the owner Ricky! Staff was extremely friendly.

I love the Worker Bee! The food is delicious. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, and you can't make a mistake here. Order anything. You can get Charman hot sauce here. And Marie is a gem!

We stopped in for lunch while traveling on U.S. 101. The staff was friendly and attentive and the food was great. They serve breakfast items into early afternoon, so I had an omelette while my wife had the tuna melt. There is a public parking lot behind the cafe and they have a rear entrance, which made getting there really easy.

My husband and I are in vacation and I found this spot. This place is excellent. The service is great, the father and son duo Rick and Rick are very personable and very helpful. This family owned business will be there for a long time if they continue to serve excellent food and give great service. We ate there twice for breakfast and brought friends with us the second we came this week. This place is definitely worth visiting if you are in the area.

I really enjoyed my experience at the Worker Bee. I came with no expectations because my buddy rated them a 3 star out if 5 star for a breakfast burrito. The food was delicious, decaf coffee was great and their bacon is crunch and tasty. I definitely recommend them and if I am ever in town I will be back.

A must!! Great service and great food.

Very friendly and welcoming staff. Everything we had was delicious, mimosas are huge and very much worth it!! Worth a stop if in the area.

Awesome and so yummy . Beautiful location orders the turkey club with seasoned fries and house salsa . Delicious and you have plenty a couple could share the meal large portions .

One of my usual stops in Carp. Kombucha on tap, plus gluten free options! Pictured are the GF raisin french toast and waffle. Left full and happy! Gets very busy. UPDATE Jan 1, 2022 As usual, great service, great food. So happy with the gluten free options.

I love ld this place. We go to Carpenteria every year. We've always gone to the same restaurants but this year I wanted to eat at places that are actually good, not just nostalgic.

Worker Bee Cafe is owned by a father and son. They are friendly and hard working. I love when business owners bust ass at their own establishments.

I liked that they have kombucha on tap. The food is great. I had corned beef hash with their homemade biscuit. My husband had the chicken club. Our kids ordered French toast, chicken fried steak, and the croissant sandwich. Everything was delicious and tasted homemade. We'll be back next year for sure.

Great food! Had breakfast in the back patio with our kids and dog. A little pricey but the quality is fantastic. Service was okay, missed a couple of things but not a big deal after a Kombutcha.

A great breakfast place. The food was great that everyone enjoyed and service was great. Patio option is nicer than indoor dining for the sunny day. Highly recommend and definitely will come back again.

Delicious food. Recommend the "La Abuelita" omelet. Great service. Bottomless coffee just keeps on coming. Marie is amazing.

What a great little find in Carpinteria. A small, cafe style, breakfast and lunch restaurant. Usually a wait, but they also have counter seating, and a patio in the back. Not a huge menu, but everything is good! Plenty of breakfast options. Always check the chalk board for daily specials!
