I ordered their torta cubana and chorizo burrito to go and I was blown away! Their chorizo was perfectly cooked and paired well with the added avocado and salsa.

The cheesecake! Absolutely delightful--rich, creamy, and clearly made with care. But let's talk about the real reason to visit: *The Breakfast Burritos.* Honestly, these are the star of the show. I'm calling it now--Cristino's has the *best breakfast burritos in all of Santa Barbara County.* They are perfectly rolled, packed with flavor, and hit the spot every single time. If you haven't been here yet, you're missing out!

The Goleta Bakery is snuggled in between other similar appearing buildings and is very easy to…read moremiss, yet worth seeking out. This small family-run bakery specializes in a large variety of traditional Mexican pan dulce & pastries, as well as standard bakery items & sweet treats. They offer breakfast selections, in addition to burritos, tortas and other specialities. Stopped in for a mid-afternoon coffee, and couldn't resist their goodies as everything looked inviting. Despite the time of day, they still had a decent selection of offerings to choose from. Their delicious pastries are of generous proportions, and made my waist sighed with delight. Another 3-mile run coming up!

I want to start my review by talking about the stellar customer service experience I received while…read morevisiting Kin's for the first time. The young lady up front was very welcoming and provided amazing service! This place has been so popular on social media and they are known for their matcha specials. If you follow them on instagram they post their daily specials and provide great updates of their inventory and wait times (a genius idea may I add). My personal favorites were the matcha einspanner and their strawberry matcha latte. For mochi donuts I especially enjoyed their lemon blueberry ricotta and brown butter turon specials. Inside they have nice seating and some stools but it gets very busy so the seating area can fill up. They also provide umbrellas if there is a long line and a hot sun outside. I highly recommend this place so be sure to check it out!

Was curious about the hype surrounding this place so I decided to go check it out. Went on a…read moreSaturday at 9:15AM and there were already 10 people in line before opening. We got the regular matcha latte and the strawberry matcha latte which were both delicious and had lots of matcha in it which we appreciated. We also liked that the drinks weren't too sweet. We also tried the mochi donuts, mango cheesecake was good but Thai tea Oreo was weird. Ube muffin was decent but overpriced for the size. Wish we could've tried the brioche but they don't sell them until noon. Overall solid spot for matcha and pastries!

You order at the counter and a staff member will bring you your items. We ordered 2 breakfast items and cappuccino, the latter which was good nothing fancy. My friend ordered the Classic with bacon. She said it was really good and liked the grilled toast. I had KC''s Sunnyside which I really enjoyed. The kale and potato combo with goat cheese was delicious. My 2 complaints would be the lack of parking and limited indoor seating. It was drizzling and all the inside tables of which there are few were taken. A couple was kind enough to let us sit with them. This is not a good place for a large party (more than 4).

Personally, I'm partial to the Goleta location since it offers a small breakfast and lunch menu My go-tos are the Spring Greens Sandwich, Trout Toast, and the Farmer's Market Frittata, which always feels fresh and seasonal. I'm also mildly obsessed with their Olive Rosemary Focaccia and the jalapeño basil cashew spread. Honestly, I'd put that spread on just about anything. Service is counter style with friendly staff, and there's a beautiful glass case showcasing the day's dishes and fresh breads. I love a good visual moment when deciding what to order, and this place definitely delivers. Just note that popular items can sell out, so going earlier is better. Their bread menu changes depending on the season and produce availability, which keeps things interesting. You'll also find gluten-free options, sweets, and dry goods if you want to take a little something home. The patio is cute and sun-filled, perfect for lingering with coffee and a pastry. Parking is street parking only, but on weekdays there's usually ample neighborhood parking nearby. Just note they're closed Sundays and Mondays, so plan your carb pilgrimage accordingly.

I ordered the fruit loops, animal cracker, and chocolate chip pillow. Service was great and very friendly. Inside there is not much seating unless you arrive early as there are lots of college students inside but I wanted my donuts to go so it worked out. My favorite was animal cracker and chocolate chip pillow. Not overly sweet or too much chocolate flavor overpowering. I also ordered a hot cocoa and a strawberry matcha. The hot cocoa was delicious. The strawberry matcha I would pass on because the milk overpowered the matcha and the strawberry flavor was lacking as well. Highly recommend the donuts!

Favorites - creme brulee donut, Boston creme (vanilla donut with creme inside and chocolate frosting), spring "nest" with coconut and creme inside, and the glazed twist (simple but light and fluffy with a vanilla touched glaze). Also, grabbed a coffee and it was good. Need to buy a bag to take home next time.
