Tables outside were dirty and they literally forgot about me. My friend had the chopped salad, so good. 1028 Coast Village Road | Montecito CA | 93108. hello@mercimontecito.com. Because it's so authentically her, it didn't matter that we used it too. Yes they're still disorganized at times esp when you come in at peak lunch hour-some of the salads might be gone from display, might take you a while to get your order in but if you ask and are willing to wait a little you will get a fresh batch of the salad/side and your order will be taken with the utmost care and attention to detail. I almost gave up completely until I came here last week. They welcomed me and…""Hands down the best pizza place in Santa Barbara!!! It is a very quaint and well put together French bistro type cafe, located right off the 101 in the idyllic Montecito Country Mart shopping center where there is also a Starbucks, local running store and Vons (amongst many others). That’s in the vases and the bases in the tables.A House of Hackney wallpaper brings out the café's color palette in slightly more saturated hues.AT: Elizabeth likes everything soft and subtle. Everything is delicious and the staff is always friendly. I had the granola with yogurt, the fennel pollen was a very unique flavor.
It's still not. I highly recommend Merci Montecito!The perfect sous vide eggs, bacon and this bread made from seeds for breakfast. Contact the business for more information about recent service changes.How is this business operating during COVID-19? My husband had the egg with bacon and toast, excellent! I'll do my best to explain. If your taking the family or lady here you are an idiot. What?!?
I was anticipating something different - was in the mood for more of a sit down/breakfast/lunch - but that is not what it is. I ordered the gazpacho and chopped salad. A cucumber salad that was fresh and delicious. All you need to start your day.I love this place so much. Same center.Merci Montecito is a beautiful space in the Country Mart just across the walkway from Vons. If you are in town definitely swing by!Went to visit friends in Montesito yesterday and they had grabbed take out from this fabulous new little place called Marci. Look for something else in this space as soon as people get tired of paying more for coffee than at Starbucks.
It's a special gem!Love, love, love!..the decor, the food, the atmosphere!

Definitely coming back here when I am in town for work again.One of my friends suggested we go to Merci for lunch.
I spoke with the owner, complimenting the food and service, and she was very gracious. Hands down. Highly recommend.Please support this outstanding local cafe shop when in the Santa Barbara area!

With Elizabeth, she has her own very specific brand of simple French chic, so it's not something we typically do. The food tasted like any of my European mom or grandmother made it, and it probably was. A native of NYC, my expectations are slightly elevated.

The seed toast with vegan butter and homemade jam is divine, there are assorted soups and salads, there is always at least one amazingly delicious vegan cookie or pastry, etc. They invited me back to the restaurant to give it another chance.
