The Flying Spoon

The Flying Spoon is a cafe, bakery, and restaurant with a bar, set up as part bakery, part coffee and tea cafe, part restaurant and pub. Breakfast and lunch are made from scratch in-house, with dishes like the Classic Breakfast Plate, Buttermilk Biscuit & Gravy, and a Cali Burger with house spoon sauce. The pastry case rotates with seasonal items such as spiced persimmon teacakes and apple-butter croissants, and the drinks list covers custom roasted coffee, loose leaf tea, and matcha lattes.

The cafe sits at the historic Santa Paula Airport on East Santa Maria Street, and the setting is a point of appeal for many visitors who come for the views. Hours are listed as breakfast and lunch until mid-afternoon, with dinner and drinks in the evening, and the cafe is open Wednesday through Sunday. The Flying Spoon also does catering and hosts events, so check the events page for weekly happenings or contact the team to plan a private gathering.
