The Garden Market

We were actually going to go to Padaro Beach Grill and the line was crazy long so we were walking back to our car and noticed salt and pepper shakers on the tables so we went in to check it out. We really didn't even know it was there before, but what a hidden gem! I had the mushroom quiche with a potato leek soup, my husband had a breakfast sandwich, and our toddler had oatmeal. Everything was delicious! We also splurged on some treats from the dessert case and were very happy with the splurge. The garden was beautiful to eat in, service was pretty quick, and the food was all very good. We'll be back!

Stopped here on the way back from SB...This place is a local hidden gem off Santa Claus lane that's been serving up breakfast, lunch and bakery items for years. It's still just as delicious as I recall. Order at the counter and be served on a delightful flowering back patio. I had the albacore tuna salad on poppyseed bread and companion had 1/2 BLT and caesar salad combo. It was a bit pricey but everywhere post covid is so that's just the new reality. The food was fresh tasty and portion sizes are generous. Next time you're on the 101 outside Carp visit this beachy laid back village strip where the Garden Market is located.

The Garden Market is a charming place to enjoy breakfast or lunch. Staff was friendly; the bakery items I had were good. The hot chai latte was excellent. Nice gift shop with bottled honey and other items for sale.

Love this place and I always stop here for breakfast on my way to Santa Barbara. The outside patios are awesome and relaxing. The food is great and fresh!
