I was craving some local homemade sweets and found Messy on Yelp. I browsed the website and saw she…read morewas doing a fundraising box for a local shelter. The box came with butterscotch blondies, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate M&M cookies and Oreo brownies. I was emailed soon after placing my order and scheduled a day and timeframe for pickup. It was all so easy! My kids, husband and I really loved the chocolate chip cookies! The chocolate M&M cookies were also a hit! The butterscotch blondies weren't my thing but they tasted great (I hope that makes sense). The brownies were solid but I probably wouldn't order them again. They just didn't stand out to me. I'm really interested in trying her scones and other baked goods and would highly recommend her!

We selected Heather of Frances Baking to create our wedding cake and have no hesitation…read morerecommending Heather to anyone who needs a wedding cake or any special cake in the Santa Barbara area. About a month prior to our wedding, Frances Baking was one of the few bakers we selected for cake tastings. For that tasting, we went with the earl grey cake with seasonal preserves (which at the time was cherry). Even for a tasting, that cake could serve up to 5 people. Be sure to bring your friends along! For our actual wedding cake, we went with the coconut passion fruit cake with seasonal fruits and it was delicious (we wish we could've eaten more of it during the wedding)! All our guests enjoyed it and we couldn't be more happy with selection. Heather is very easy to work with and communication was seamless. Thanks Heather for baking us an incredibly delicious and beautiful cake!

Menchaca Chocolates is truly a chocolate lover's dream. A hidden gem located at the Mercado on…read moreupper state. From rich dark chocolate to creamy oat milk and white chocolate, Menchaca Chocolates crafts every bite with care. They also offer sampler boxes. On my visit, I picked up the chocolate covered spicy mangos. Who knew dark chocolate covered mangos would be so addictive. Highly recommend! The habanero sea salt is what gives it a little kick, but it's not too spicy where it burns your mouth. I also bought a chocolate bar covered in toffee. They offer chocolate and art workshops; where you can emerse your senses in cacao beans grinding, nibs roasting, fluid chocolate hardening, and create your own chocolate bar! The choices of chocolate are dark, oat milk and white chocolate. With over 40 toppings to choose from and customize your own chocolate bar. I'm looking forward to taking a class here soon!

I think my biggest issue here was just in the way the chocolate workshop is described as a "make…read moreyour own chocolate bar." I've done chocolate workshops where we literally got cacao beans from bods, roasted and dried them, them mixed with other ingredients to make chocolate, this is not that. This is really an arts and crafts project where you just happen to take home some chocolate at the end. That being said, the chocolate base is quite good, from the dark chocolate (which I normally don't like), through the milk chocolate, and the white chocolate. Each of the base is already made, then they give you a ton of toppings to customize your own bar. I will say I wish they would have suggested us to push in the topping a bit more into the mold, as much of the toppings came off when we ate them later. After this 10 min process of customizing your bar, the rest of the time is spent just decorating your box. They do have an extensive collection of art materials, it was just a bit of a let down that it felt like 90% crafts. Beyond that, the service could have been better. It was very stand off-ish. We ended up decorating our box for what felt like an hr cause no one came to tell us our chocolate was ready. And it just really felt like we had no idea what was going on throughout the process. Staff was nice, just not very informative.

I ordered a birthday batch of cookies for delivery to my student at UCSB on less than 24 hours…read morenotice....and Good Stuff crushed it!!! Their communication with me via email was proactive, personal and so helpful. Originally, I'd forgotten to ask for an included note sending birthday wishes and noting who the order was from, and Good Stuff was flexible, helpful and reliable in fixing that oversight of mine. The cookies were "SOOOO delicious" and so many, according to my daughter. Getting anything delivered into the dorms/living spaces around UCSB is often a roll of the dice, but Good Stuff seems to know the turf and how to navigate it. They hand-delivered to my student, and sent me an email right away to confirm that hand off. I'm looking fwd to my next visit to Santa Barbara and stopping in at Good Stuff. This was a great experience.

Just a great cookie. Nothing fancy but it tasted fresh with good ingredients. My sons devoured the snickerdoodle cookie and exclaimed it was better than mine (okay, we didn't have to be rude). The caramel coconuts cookie was recommended by staff as their favorite cookie so obviously I had to get it. What a surprisingly good cookie. Just the perfect amount of caramel and coconut. Not overwhelming at all. I need more of these cookies in my life.
