    Add a pastry and we're good to go!
    Terry C.

    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!

    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!

    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!

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

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

    I was a little worried because I got there late...7:58. They close at 8. The person who took my…read moreorder assured me they close at 8, meaning the last order is at 8. I was welcome to stay as long as I needed to eat my meal. What an unexpected and KIND gesture!!!! The guys were young but extremely courteous! I ordered a bowl of clam chowder...YUM!!! How can you go to Brophy's and not eat chowder? I also ordered a Baja fish taco and a shrimp taco. I love fish tacos. This one was super moist and crispy on the outside...perfect seasoning and the pickled onions were spot on!! The shrimp taco was a nice surprise. They are grilled (no guilt over extra calories) and good flavor. There is a good combination of savory with a little sweet from the mango salsa. The mangoes were not as ripe as I like, but the salsa had good flavor nonetheless. I especially appreciate that the young guys checked on me and asked about the food and if I needed anything. I visit SB a couple times a year. This is definitely going to be one of my pit stops. Oh... did I mention the nice surprise on my bill? I didn't even realize the perks of taco Tuesday. Kudos to the management for hiring such good workers!

    I ordered the B.L.T.A. to go and it was honestly the worst sandwich I have ever paid for…read more Not only did it look nothing like the picture, the quality of ingredients was extremely disappointing across the board: - Stale, basic white store bought sandwich bread (think Wonder Bread) - Pre-shredded, store-bought lettuce - Two slices of tomato total -- one per half (and they were completely different sizes) - Less than half of an avocado for the entire sandwich - Plain mayonnaise, not the "Tabasco mayo" advertised - Cheap, fatty bacon that tasted like low-end grocery store brand Did the cook have to stop at the grocery store on their way to work today? On top of that, the ingredients were distributed completely unevenly between the two halves. I literally had to take both halves apart and redistribute everything myself just to make it edible. Nothing about this felt fresh. I also swapped the "house-made chips" for tater tots -- which turned out to be the exact Ore-Ida frozen tots you buy at the grocery store, and even worse... they were undercooked and mushy. I am willing to bet I just paid $16 for about $2.50 worth of ingredients. For $16, this was not just underwhelming -- it was bad, REAL BAD. Do NOT order this sandwich.
