Deja Vu Cafe Rebuilds After Fire | California News
Description
Isla Vista’s beloved Deja Vu Cafe, a 40-year-old late-night staple, was gutted by fire early Tuesday—but no one was hurt. The owner, who’s treated the cafe like his child and has been there daily since opening day, suspects an electrical issue sparked the blaze. While firefighters contained the flames, the building suffered wall damage, roof hits, and heavy smoke damage. He’s vowed to rebuild and reopen in time for UC Santa Barbara’s alumni weekend in October, honoring its legacy as a community landmark. Nearby Chef 81, also taped off, escaped unscathed but is closed for the summer.
