Got a croissant here. It did not taste like a croissant at all. Service is good, and it looked like they had a lot of different baked goods. Might go back to try other things, but was definitely disappointed by the croissant. A big plus- the croissant was just $1.5 (unheard of in California!) read more

I randomly ordered delivery from here because I woke up on a Sunday morning with a big donut craving (as I often do LOL). Ordered coffee and an assortment of donuts to try, including the Glazed, Sugar, a Vanilla Concha, Donut Holes, a Crumb Donut, etc. They threw in an extra Sugar Donut and many more donut holes which was very much appreciated. The donuts weren't anything out of the ordinary, but they were decently good. They tasted fresh, and weren't overly oily or sweet. The Concha was probably my favorite. It is a Mexican bakery after all, and they specialize in these. read more

Goleta Bakery - a box of doughnuts - Bakeries Near Me - Goleta, California

The Goleta Bakery is snuggled in between other similar appearing buildings and is very easy to miss, 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! read more

Haven't been here in awhile. But every time I have gone there it was good. Great doughnuts. Been there a long time.

Still one of our favorite stops in Old Town Goleta, and now during these crazy COVID days, they are ideal for picking-up-to-go. Chili Verde Burritos with Rice and Beans is still a delicious crowd pleaser, and their selections of fresh Pan Mexicano is ideal. No matter how busy they can get it's always worth the wait. And even better to support this local family business. read more

Soooo yummy and authentic. The best place in town for concha's . They sell donuts too but I wish they had more variety of Mexican pastries. Still the best in town though. read more

Opened for Thanksgiving, this charming hole-in-the-wall is an easy to miss classic mom-and-pop with traditional mexican bakery items: conchas, banderas, coyotas, galletas de bodas, orejas, as well as American fare cinnamon buns, fruit croissants, donuts, donut holes and fritters. The chocolate sprinked donut I had was VERY sugary - so much that I couldn't finish. Otherwise, the concha breads were fabulously fluffy and fresh, soft on the inside and crunch on the outside. I also ordered Avena, or Mexican oatmeal, served in a coffee cup which was a little weird for having to suck oats out of a small hole, but nonetheless hearty and good for you - just the right sweetness. Finally, two very hot coffees, and they packed different flavor creams, sugars and stirrers in a separate bag for our take-out. Very friendly service, like the kind you only get from local establishments that know your name. Best of all, the entire order - less than $10! read more

Bottom Line: A great little local bakery Every town needs to have a little local spot like this where people make and serve baked goods. They always have tons of different things in here for you to try - you just have to get down here to try them! I'm lucky enough to have this spot on the way to work, so I can drop in a pick up some goodies pretty much any time. Come check it out! read more

5 star because the prices are good for the quality. They're also open late so it's a good dessert place to pick up if you're eating dinner with family. read more

The cheese danish and the donut with chocolate icing are my favorites. A great sweet treat!

Closed upon arrival. Hours indicated on Yelp open til 9pm today. Please update your hours!

delicious fresh baked goods for amazing prices!! loved the pan dulce. Any time we are back in SB, we will be visiting again!

AMAZING!! I love Goleta Bakery and the woman that runs it! My favorite time to go is right at opening after working a night shift at my job. The bakery smells amazing and has endless sweet options from conchas to donuts and everything in between. My go to order is chocolate conchas! They are fluffy, with a sweet sugar topping. Perfect breakfast and all my friends love them too. Highly recommend supporting this small business! read more

Goleta Bakery - Bakeries Near Me - Goleta, California

After years of passing by this bakery I finally went in and discovered they have the best donuts. Not only are they inexpensive, they are huge. If you have not been to Goleta Bakery now is the time to give it try. They are located in Old Town Goleta in what should be deemed a historic building and are family run. read more

Mexican pastries in abundance...but also traditional donuts. At 9:45 on a Wednesday morning, the pickings were a bit slim. But we found what we were looking for, a Boston cream donut that really hit the spot. The prices are right. The service was great. Not much ambiance-take it to go. read more

Great little bakery with some tasty classic donuts and Mexican breads. Very happy I found this place on a relaxed Saturday morning

I wasn't a fan of the pan dulce, but the tamales were delicious. Not dry at all and had a lot of flavor.

I happened upon this place while traveling through Santa Barbara and craving a donut and coffee. I found the right place!! Their donuts are DELICIOUS and their prices are great. Very friendly atmosphere, highly recommend! read more

Cute bakery with great pastries. We usually get the pink swirl pan dulce and the enormous apple fritter - so satisfying for a treat. Goleta Bakery is in a great location in downtown Goleta. Not too far from Old Town Coffee, it's nice to stop in at both shops both for an unbeatable breakfast combo. read more

Delicious, freshly baked items are on the offer at this small Mexican bakery, and the service was cheerful and friendly (albeit a bit rushed). We didn't have any problems parking on the street. There's also a Mexican market next door, so remember to pop in there too. The neighborhood is a little sketchy, but during the day is completely safe. Oh, and they also had Mexican hot chocolate too! read more

Amazing local family owned bakery. Had a very delicious apple fritter. I will be sure to stop by on my next visit to Santa Barbara area.

I love pan dulce and I've been craving it for so long! I stopped by here earlier this week and picked up a few goodies. Yummy pan dulce!

Was in town for a visit after having left many years ago. I have a weakness for Mexican bakeries and had to stop in. Wonderful selection, friendly service, owned by current family for 30+ years but has been in business for longer than that. Very reasonable prices. Delicious pastries. Strongly recommended! read more

Excellent Bakery! Everything is fresh and delicious! Very friendly lady at the counter too!

One of the best Tres Leches cakes I have ever had ( and I really like Tres Leches) The cake was spongy and had the perfect texture for absorbing the milk. Even leftover, it was not soggy, and still delicious. I highly recommend this bakery for this cake and their fresh Mexican pastries. read more

The old lady sold me rancid masa once during Christmas time. When I got it home and my Mom smelled it she raised holy heck! Since my Spanish isn't what it should be I made my little Mexican Momma go there with me to work it out. The lady laughed at my Mom saying that they only used good quality ingredients and that the masa was made "fresh" that morning. Well my Mother told her what for in English and Spanish! Seeing that my Mom was no dummy she just gave us our Money back and I started going to another bakery in Santa Barbara after that. My Mother also told the lady she should be ashamed of herself taking advantage of people like that. read more

Normally I had a good experiences however most recently they gave me the wrong order and since I don't eat pork I asked to exchange it for my correct order however they said once the food leave the store they can't do anything about it. How am I supposed to know they gave me the wrong order until I start to eat it at home? Definitely not coming back here. read more

This is where we go when we want dessert in Goleta, especially after a nice Mexican or Korean meal. The giant crispy flat thing that might be made of puff pastry is yummy but not overly sweet. The big puerco cookie is good, too. Of course the triangular empanadas are great, especially the ones made from calabasa (pumpkin.) If it's cold outside, and they have champurrado, order it. This sweet corn, cocoa, and cinnamon drink is better than hot chocolate. As for the food, the tamales are spicy and filling, just like home made. But I would avoid the chicken torta, unless you like skin and cartilage in your sandwich. read more

Goleta Bakery has the best flan in town. Buying a slice from their enormous round of baked flan is worth the stop in alone.

Excellent food , outstanding Pan Dulce and good , quick service . The menudo was fresh and so tasty not stinky or excessively greasy . The gorditas are amazing and packed with extra goodness ! This place is a hidden Gem , parking is in the back . And coffee is good too , none of that watered down coffee . read more

I just stopped by Goleta Bakery this morning for "Pan de Muerto" for Dia de Los Muertos. The bread was very fresh, the best I've had from a Mexican Bakery. We also tried some other pastries and everything was fresh and tasty. I've been to other Mexican bakeries (panaderias) in California where it tasted like the pastries had been sitting out for a few days. Not here! Give this place a try. Street parking was easy for me to find (look on Hollister or the nearest side street). I haven't tried the lunch or dinner food. read more

Mexican pastry bakery with donuts too. Street parking only. Grab a tray and pick your own pastries.

I don't know about the food, but the breads are yummy. I have to try the other bakeries around, but they have a decent selection of mexican sweet breads. read more

Rude as #$%! I called, nicely asking to place an order. Was informed I couldn't and was hung up on. read more

I tried to place an order for 500 brownies for a church function. They couldn't help me as there was no one there that spoke English.

My sister ordered me a cake from here. All I wanted was a tres leches cake for my birthday. She ordered me one but the older women taking her order didn't understand what my name was or how to spell it. My sister translated it into Spanish. The Spanish version of my name is not what I go by so my sister drove to the bakery and wrote my name out so there wouldn't be any confusion and wrote that she wanted my name written in pink icing. She went to pick up my cake my name was misspelled and the icing was orange and runny. She pointed out that the icing wasn't the color she asked for and my name was misspelled to which the older lady said oh oh well, the decorator must have not been paying attention. There was no effort to make it right to rewrite my name to give a discount because it's not what was ordered or even a sorry. WTF. The cake better be the most delicious cake I've ever tasted because I'm so mad my sister feels so bad that the cake she got for me isn't what was asked for. Will not order from here again and will tell everyone about their bad customer service. read more
