“Bree’osh is a delightful French bakery and breakfast spot in the heart of Montecito. It’s extremely efficient and the amount of pastries coming out of this place seems endless. That being said, they will run out of the best stuff if you don’t get there on time. Their breakfast sandwiches are a highlight and it’s a shame they do not have more gluten free options on the menu because I’m sure they would be incredible. They obviously have a ton of skill when it comes to pastries, their coffee and teas leave a little bit to be desired, but still are an excellent treat to go with your croissant.“
“You can taste the love and passion that goes into each cup of coffee here. The dog running around was a bonus, and the owner was extremely kind. Highly recommend for a date, friend hangout, or just a nice place to drink coffee and read a book.“
“Best breakfast place we had on our California road trip - by far. Their campfire French toast with smoked maple sirup (only on weekends) is next level, their avocado toast with cucumber super tasty and the cinnamon roll the best I ever had! We came back three times to Santa Barbara during our road trip and part of that decision was also the amazing breakfast at Helena's Bakery.You order at the counter and then look for a seat, indoors or outdoors. There is parking in the neighborhood if you need it, but I would recommend to walk over.A must go if you are in SB!“
“I love the Brass Bird Coffee and Kitchen. It checks all of the boxes: great flavorful food and beverages, wonderful fresh baked goods, tasty snacks and sandwiches, and a fabulous location with lots of free parking. The staff is very accommodating and friendly and they make wonderful drinks of all kinds served in a relaxed atmosphere. The outdoor patio is dog friendly, has great Wi-Fi reception (great place to work) and also has heaters and a nice fountain. It fits in perfectly with Carpinteria's relaxed small beach city charm. The menu is constantly changing with new seasonal food items, fresh new bakery selections, and seasonal beverages. There are several gluten free items to chose from and many organic choices as well. It is also a great place to enjoy a glass of wine or champagne, lunch or breakfast and when available brunch. I don't generally drink soft drinks but they make several house made sodas that are absolutely delicious without being too sweet. I particularly like the watermelon lime soda. When visiting Carpinteria make sure and visit this wonderful place. You will not be sorry.“
“I decided to try,one morning, their miso-maple focaccia and since then I am hooked! It won me over instantly! Moist, flavorful without being over the top, just perfect balance. I can never resist marzipan so I had a frosnapper! Once again delighted with it! Let’s just say it didn’t make it home. I also love their pumpkin seeds sourdough bread, moist, full of seeds, excellent! Highly recommend.“
“Absolutely DELICIOUS, gluten-free Brownie Cheesecake & Tiramisu. Always a delight (and a must-do) to stop by Lilac when I'm in SB!Dietary restrictions: Certified gluten-free bakery & cafe. They're also very good in handling other food sensitivities.“
“This is such a cute spot for breakfast, brunch, early lunch. Service is amazing, food is great. The way they have it set up is great, you get in line outside, then inside to order at the register then they have a table waiting for you. Servers are amazing. Clean restrooms. Right across from the BEACH.“
“Great food but keep in mind that the avocado toast (specifically the gf one) is only one small slice and it’s extra $ to add on the good stuff. The yogurt/ gluten free granola parfait and oat milk lavender latte were both DELISH! We were told any bowls would take 20+ minutes to make which seems insane (coming from someone who used to work at a smoothie/breakfast/coffee shop we never had that kind of wait even when equally as busy). Luckily, it didn’t take 20 minutes for the parfait but just a heads up if you’re in need to a quick breakfast. You can tell it’s a beloved restaurant of the vacationers and locals and based on taste you can see why, but is still a bit pricey for what you get.Dietary restrictions: Gf bread and granola available“
“Edit: Great food again as usual!Original Post: I love this place and come here regularly. But today was dissapointed that my french onion soup had barely any onion, with an overly salty broth. Will update this review next time I come when the food is (hopefully) as good as it is normally“
“Jeannine's is one of our favorites when we visit cousins in Santa Barbara several times a year. The line, while off-putting at first, moves quickly and you've ordered and are seated soon enough to not make impatient kids crazy. We ordered the Challah French Toast breakfast with scramble eggs, Chilaquiles, Two Eggs over easy and a side of toast, and the oatmeal. All arrived well-presented and all reported as "super tasty." My only criticism is that, even though we were eating in and event though they thankfully provided cloth napkins, the coffee was in a paper cup and the water was in a plastic cup. Especially since you are situated right across the street from the beach, change to reusable cups and you will get 5 stars.“
“A delightful little spot in the center of Santa Barbara serving a wide array of Turkish coffees and sweets. The server gave us a free taste of a couple of vegetarian Turkish delights with our decaf Turkish coffees, which were beautifully presented. Lovely!“
“My husband and daughter popped by yesterday just for fun. They got the last few items- a strawberry cupcake, an eclair, a cream puff, and a red velvet cupcake. We slowly enjoyed each item.... And we are a baking family. We LOVED all of them! Cannot recommend the baked goods here enough! And I heard the owner has a great attitude and is wonderful too!“
“Absolutely fantastic local bakery and deli. Relaxed outdoor seating, no wait, easy parking, definitely where the locals go. Get the Fresh Mozzarella, Tomato & Roasted Peppers on Ciabatta!Vegetarian options: Get the Fresh Mozzarella and Tomato sandwich!!!“
“Went here this morning for a late breakfast/brunch— it was delish! My boyfriend and I got the avocado toast with a poached egg on top (I got gf bread he got ciabatta bread) and both of us LOVED IT! I got the Milky Way latte and he got the Blue Moon latte. Both lattes were tasty but a little sweet and not much lavender flavor. Great organic coffee and still was super tasty though! We ordered from and talked to the owner a bit (at least I think she was the owner) and she was so sweet. She said there will be more gf options and pastries soon! It’s also cheaper than Lucky Llama with bigger portions— can’t wait to go back and support this little gem!Dietary restrictions: Gf bread was delish and owner said more gf bakery/pastry options coming soon!“
“Wonderful French pastry, served by a welcoming baker in a tiny space filled with glass cases of beautiful, French pastries, eclairs and scones. Each pastry and large coffee were $4.50 each. So delicious and pretty messy to eat in the car! But, well worth it!“
“Amazing yummy food!!! Breakfast food made to order and it was delicious!! Great view of Linden Street from the outdoor seating... ONLY suggestion since there is no bathrooms PLEASE provide ample amounts of hand sanitizer for the patrons... There was no hand sanitizer anywhere....“
“This is one of my favorite breakfast restaurants in Santa Barbara. Renauds is a patisserie in the old style with American breakfast options, translated. So the American breakfast comes with properly poached eggs and Brioche toast, the quiche crust is proper butter crust, and the baked goods are consistently excellent. 2/3 of seating is outdoors, but web based ordering lowers line levels even at peak hours.Kid-friendliness: Small tables and somewhat close seating makes child maintenance a bit difficult when Harry's is open. Early morning, that space is kid friendly.“
“Wonderful first experience. Pastries looked beautiful and tasted amazing. I had a kouign-amann that was buttery, sweet, and beautifully layered. I also had a beignet that was perfectly and evenly filled with a light passionfruit cream. The reception from the staff was so kind and welcoming. They must've realized it was my first time there because they gifted me a baguette to take home too!! Great customer service and attention to detail. Will be back very soon!“
“What a little treasure! I have passed by this little cafe/bakery many times before--each time telling myself to get in there soon. Finally after six years living in town, I made it! The inside feels like you’re in someone’s cottage with antiques and Australian touches here and there. Not a surprise given the adorable Victorian home it’s housed in. I was greeted by the owner himself who was friendly and helpful with all my newbie questions.This business is Australian—uh huh, I said it right; full on Aussie. Completely unexpected…I gotta say. Get your Flat White here! Their vanilla syrup is made in house and I highly recommend it too. They offer a variety of fresh, homemade pastries. I ordered the banana bread which had a nice balance of sweet and savory, plus it was warmed up on a griddle. Just as Nana would do! I know they are known for their cinnamon rolls so I will definitely be back to try one when my sweet tooth kicks in. The quiches were also sold out when I came in and at high-demand. One gal said their quiche is the best in town! A bold statement.Given that the Holidays are coming up quickly, it’s also worth mentioning that they have a sign offering their handmade pies for purchase. I plan to preorder two for when we host our family Thanksgiving this year. Flavors and selections are endless (pumpkin, apple, berries, and the list goes on).Hooroo mate!Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp at entrance“
“Great French style offerings. Duck fat potatoes in a salad offering to some items that can be vegan if you skip the cheese. Only 50cent up charge for non dairy milk better than many. Known for their chocolate chip cookies You can buy cookie dough in three flavors ready to bake in a six pack Tucked in the cute montecito mart across from Vons. Easy parking. Cute outdoor seating I want to give it a five but they need more plant based vegan offerings. Love to meet friends at places that can accommodate us all“
“Burritos and sweets at an unbelievable price! We go there on rainy days but it's a great treat all the time. We went when the power was out but we still got to get our treats! They're so welcoming and friendly and when you walk in you can smell the amazingness!“
“Best carne asada torta I’ve ever had even while it was cold. The carne asada burrito was mostly beans i would say at least 45-50% of the burrito was just beans which is a lot considering the burrito was huge. The champurrado and arroz con leche were very good too. I wasn’t a big fan of the tres leches because it had shredded coconut on the top of it“
“YO this place is OFF THE CHAIN in the morning!! Forget Jacks Bagels or a lame gas station.....Grab your donut/breakfast sandwich and morning coffee from these guys.....You will immediately see and smell what I'm talking about when you enter the place. You're welcome.“
“Beautiful place, beautiful decoration, delicious food and the attention of the guys was wonderful, we came with my husband from Fontana CA and we found this wonderful restaurant.We love Santa Barbara and now Jeannine’s.We will surely return!! “
