Best bakery in Montecito and now Santa Barbara too (with their 2nd location on De La Vina). The bread (baguettes, loaves…) is exquisite, similar to what you’d find in France. The pastries are a real treat, very gourmand and you’re gonna want more! Among my favorites are the baguettes, the avocado tartine and the almond brioche (with cream inside, so tasty!). The coffee is as good as the food! They also have a delicious variety of tea and other drinks. You can also purchase some items for home like homemade granola and tea… It is really a place not to be missed if you are visiting Santa Barbara (the locals know 😉)!

Very cute place with cute friendly people, nice seating outside, with landscape provided by potted plants. I had a croque-madame, my daughter had the baguette sandwich, also had a plain croissant and cappuccino. Croissant was okay, croque-madame was gooey and creamy rich, made with soft toast bread, baguette was good and comparable to the ones in France. Croque-Madame should have been made with a sturdy sourdough bread instead of the super soft wonder bread, in my opinion.
