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!

Very nice place for a coffee/ matcha and sweets or a main dish. Much recommend if you are around.
Omg the breakfast sandwich and breakfast bowl they do here is so amazing! I’m slowly making my way through the menu and have yet to find a single thing I don’t like. 10/10!
We love Helena Avenue Bakery! Not only are they a great option for delicious breakfast and lunch, but they're also amazing with catering orders and events. We recently got married and had Helena Avenue provide Chocolate Chip Cookies for our guests (they're amazing and everyone was raving about them!) as well as a smaller "Ceremonial Cake" for our reception. I cannot recommend Helena Avenue Bakery enough - either for a quick bit to eat or when you're planning your next large gathering!Parking: There is a Santa Barbara city parking garage just a few blocks away; otherwise, parking is very limited and difficult.

Long wait, but worth itThe Cobb salad was well dressed and tastyI LOVE the biscuit with apple/thyme jam. One of the best biscuits I’ve had- crispy outside, soft inside.The chai tea latte was also good.The breakfast sandwich was just ok. Too egg forward, and would be better as a runny egg, bacon too hard, needed more sauce. Wish it came with a small side.I will be back to try other baked goods.
Great menu, very local but busy place. Family friendly.

Got the sweet potato and egg (16$), and the brown butter cinnamon roll($7). Side of drip coffee(3.5$). Get one of the specialty lattes instead. Cinnamon roll was bomb and the potato’s well seasoned. Everything was just a bit too overpriced. The vibe would be great to impress friends and visitors

So good, I went two days in a row. I really enjoyed the coffee. The food was delicious. Had the avocado toast the first day and then went back for the yogurt parfait the next day. Both so tasty! The banana bread and pretzel that I took to go and snack on later were also wonderful.

Quirky and fun place with lots of energy thrown in. Went for breakfast and wish I could have spent all day there! The Elvis was so so good! Flavor was dynamite! Coffee was delicious. Watching the staff work in the kitchen was fun. A tasty treat. Something for everyone!
