Cafe Int’l

Come here for their shaved ice milk on a hot early afternoon (or even breakfast if you’re daring) and you won’t be disappointed. I do wish they were open at later times of the day because that stuff is good. I wouldn’t recommend the cheesecake topping though unless you don’t mind a little bit of freezer flavor.

The worst overpriced costco food you could make at home. I really wanted to think this place improved however, I think it got worse. Thick chewy pastrami eeeeew gag me with a spoon. For what you get I would go next door panini (or something) never again will I get food here. I bought 5 Sandwiches and all of them you could make at home better. Shame on the owner for selling costco muffins too. Fraud is what you are and the bagles are probably from costco as well Smh lol. I would rather spent my money at subway than this place. Other options: Panini, Albertsons, South coast deli, or country catering otherwise keep going because these people are a total rip off. Staff was great only good thing.

Hidden Gem! Came here for breakfast. I ordered the Florentine Benedict with a side of fruit. Hubby ordered the Italian Omlet with potatoes and toast. The Benedict was excellent. Eggs cooked perfectly and the fruit salad did not have cantaloupe! Hallelujah! The Omlet must have been good because it disappeared rather quickly. We used the Axxess deal and our breakfast cost $ 13.77. What a bargain! Will definitely be back!

Went for breakfast. Ordered eggs, potatoes, toast and orange juice. The scrambled eggs were overcooked and rubbery. Strike 1. The potatoes were from the frozen kind, come on. Strike 2. The toast was barely toasted. The orange juice was frozen concentrate, really cheap! Strike 3.
I could have got better breakfast at ⁷⁄₁₁
Wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone

Ok so talk about being hidden in plain sight. I drove past this place like 5 times and that’s with GPS as well. Well let me start by saying when I walked in the place was clean.
The menu is pretty big and has tons to offer. I got my girlfriend a breakfast burrito (chorizo) and I got the bulgogi bowl. The bowl was way bigger than I thought and came with a salad. Both food items were good. I’m looking forward to trying more items from them.

Food is good but if you are ordering over the phone make sure you have them repeat the order and make sure you check the bag. They tend to be forgetful.

Overpriced, doesn’t honor specials shown on their website, often gets orders incorrect. They need to refocus on quality and a simpler menu.

I’m in town for the week and have come here everyday for the last 5 days. I’ve tried something different from each section of the menu and it is all freaking delicious. I don’t understand the negative reviews.

I went 30 minutes before closing. My dish was really good. I ordered the Lox bagel. The place is extremely clean, which I liked. Service was fast, presentation of the food was great. I honesty have no complaints. I believe this is a local spot to sb, so I highly recommend trying this place at least once.

Yikes. After 2 very bizarre and confused phone calls with them my husband and I were seriously considering bailing and not picking up our called-​in order.
We chose this place based on it having a 2for1 on the Access card but we had never seen/​noticed the place before. If we had seen it in person prior to calling in we wouldnt have eaten here, primarily because it is clearly an Asian style establishment serving American style dishes (see posters for Korean ice cream)…not that there’s anything wrong with that but personally I wouldnt go to a Thai restaurant and order eggs Benedict.
We had ordered reubens. 1^st impression: they were very small and thin. I miserably ate half and it was terrible, my immediate thought was that it seemed to be made by someone who had never even had a reuben before (this was before i noticed the ice cream posters). The cheese was not normal cheese for a reuben AND tasted bad (it was some kind that had been melted down with milk giving it a semi liquid form). And there was virtually no sauerkraut (find it in the photo if you can). When i spotted the tiny bit of kraut i tasted it and it was awful and not a normal kraut flavor. Needless to say i didnt finish the other half of my sandwich.

I love the hamburgers there! I really think it’s unique and it’s very different because its homemade and is not fast food:)

If I could give a place negative stars, this would be it.
Location: Strip mall so excellent parking. Inside, the place looks dirty like the floors haven’t been swept in a long time.
Food: Okay, I ordered the veggie sandwich and wanted to add turkey (don’t judge). I expected to pay an additional $ 2 – 3 like most places. When I asked the girl at the counter how much she was unsure… so she asked her co-​worker, who also didn’t know. Surely I was not the first person to order this. Then they asked one of the chefs (or so I assume) and he said it was $ 7. No, no way. So I left the turkey off but asked for no mayonnaise. Well when I got home sure enough, huge slab of mayo. Also, the sandwich bread was something you’d get from the grocery store and was very soggy from the veggies. Not impressed at all.
Service: Standard. Got my sandwich to go so not much interaction but the girl was friendly, even if no one knew it was $ 7 to add turkey to a sandwich.

So strange to see good reviews for this place. Makes me wonder about this process. They are about the worst service and attitudes I’ve had the misfortune to run into. Their closing hours are 4 pm yet I have often found them closed at 3 or like today when I got there before 3:30 and was told they closed the grill already. Since I was there to get a grilled VEGGIE sandwich which I asked if they could make cold. Nope. Can I talk to a Manager, Nope, can I talk to the owner Nope!
My family has run restaurants in the past. You work until your closing hour at the bare minimum. You don’t clean up, turn off the grills, bring in the tables etc UNTIL you are closed.
I won’t be going back. And won’t miss them.

Korean friends recommended we try the Korean dishes here, so we finally tried the bibimbap bowl and spicy pork bowl, both were generously sized and quite delicious. Remember to add the sauces to the bibimbap and mix well! I could only finish half of my bowl! Will come back again…

I’m so happy there is some more kfood in SB! Bibimbap was pretty good, wish it was in a hot stone, but still… BIBIMBAP. Please bring more dishes. I’m coming back here to try the bingsu they just added. They have a few other things that I’m going to check out.

This place is credible really good Korean food bibimbap and spicy pork with noodles and roll. Breakfast all day and good sandwiches. And now they have snowflakes a Korean version of a snowcone amazing taste! Very friendly and helpful staff good jaZz music and outside seating ! 5 stars to café intl from this goleta local

My mom and I went in here to grab a bagel. The owner was in and he gave us a sample of some Korean dessert that was like eating snow. It was sooo good!!!
They make it out of milk and put pieces of fruit. We tried the strawberry and blueberry one. It was amazing. We’re definitely going back.
I’m going to keep this in mind for a dessert place

Eric is an awesome dude who cares a lot about his customers and their food is delicious. I usually go for the Canadian scramble, which consists of a generous portion of eggs, Canadian bacon, mushrooms, and cheese. The spuds are to die for, they’re the most crunchy and hot potato goodness you can ask for. Just dip some in ketchup, awesome.
The staff is friendly, attentative, and fast workers. The good thing about this place is that it’s kind of a self service, meaning you get your own ketchup or water, so you don’t have to pay tip (totally deserve it though). Also, they serve you the food right away instead of cleaning or serving water.
Moderately priced, generous portion, and friendly vibe. Go check it out if you’re in town for breakfast.

One of my favorite places around here! I feel like they deserve more recognition and stars since the negative reviews are from a long time ago… the new owner really cares and everyone seems friendly so far, which I like. My allergy stops me from most breakfast menus but my personal favorite is the lunch box:):) oh and much cleaner than a lot of places

I give them 4 stars for effort and potential. I didn’t even know this place existed until I saw a picture of their bibimbop. Café Int’l has a menu consists of typical American comfort food, sandwiches, egg, bacon, burritos, eggs, etc. The new owners must be korean because now they offer a few Korean options as well. The bibimbop I had was good, the veggies were fresh, and the bulgogi had a flavorful marinate. They can definitely kick it up a notch by serving it in a hot stone bowl and crack a raw egg over the bibimbop. Instead of serving miso soup, I think a side of kimchi would be better here.
