Welcome to Flir Dining Café, a hidden gem located at 6769 Hollister Ave in sunny Goleta, California.

Whether you're in the mood for a relaxing breakfast, a hearty lunch, or an afternoon caffeine fix, Flir Dining Café promises an experience that’s as delightful as the friendly smiles that greet you at the door.

Flir Dining Café offers a diverse menu that caters to all tastes. With daily specials that keep things exciting, there's always something new to try. From the impressive tri-tip sandwich that our regular, Ðänny, raves about on Wednesdays, to the fabulous gyro that made a memorable impression on Nehemiah Slaughter's Friday visits, you'll find options that have your taste buds singing. Their breakfast burrito, adored by John Donaldson, is another standout, offering generous portions at unbeatable prices.

The dining atmosphere at Flir is as inviting as its menu. It's a space filled with warmth and conviviality, perfect for catching up with friends or escaping the hustle and bustle of daily life. Patrons often mention the friendly service, such as the smiling staff noted by Jasen Hall, which enhances the overall vibe.

For those seeking great value, Flir Dining Café doesn’t disappoint. The combination of quality food and reasonable pricing makes it an attractive option for dining on a budget – just ask phillip thomas, who appreciated both the friendly service and the value provided, even if he did have a few words about parking. And with weekday lunch options that cater to various cravings at 'amazingly affordable prices,' as noted by Joey Chatelain, Flir guarantees satisfaction without stretching your wallet.

As a cherry on top, there's also a link to Whitecaps, a new restaurant managed by the same team, adding to the local dining options in the area, as pointed out by Lori Clayton. This is just another reason why Flir Dining Café deserves a spot on your Goleta must-visit list.

Everybody please know that a new restaurant is at FLIR and it is open to the public. It is called Whitecaps. They also have a location down in the funk zone. They are awesome! So if you are out in Goleta, come on over!

Solid breakfast burrito. Genuinely surprised as to the quality being that this is a cafeteria for a company. Good prices. Got 2 breakfast burritos, one veggie and eggs, and one with bacon and eggs. Came to $12 and some change. Will be back!
