“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.“
“Hands down best coffee and pastry shop in Santa Barbara County. Been coming here for about 6 months and have never wait less than a half hour but it is WORTH IT. Staff is so kind and thankful for all customers who walk through the door. Each drink and donut is hand crafted and you can tell there is a lot of love and passion in this business. Such a cute interior too!!“
“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.“
“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.“
“It is a very impressive sweets shop. The lanterns are whimsical and the decorations inviting. The variety of sweets is overwhelming! The Turkish coffee is served in a traditional style with a pice of lokum and a bit of water. Prices are exorbitantly high, but if you want a delectable treat it might be worth your while.“
“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!!!“
“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!“
“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!“
“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!“
“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.“
“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“
“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!“
“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.“
“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!“
