Fantastic burritos and great service is the easiest way for me to describe this bakery…read more My husband and I were in town for a wedding when we stumbled across Cristino's. We stopped by for a burrito and pan dulce on Saturday morning and arrived just in time to miss the morning rush. The woman at the counter was friendly and took our order quickly. Even with the rush of people we got our food quickly and there were benches out front to sit while you wait. We ordered the Tropical Carnitas burrito and the chorizo burrito (added avocado for an extra cost). While the carnitas were tender and flavorful, we definitely preferred the chorizo. We purchased two pieces of pan dulce and two coffees, you serve your own coffee from a station in the corner. The food was so good, we stopped for another bite before leaving the next day and the same employee greeted us, inviting us back the next time we were in town. I definitely recommend the food and bread here, we'll be stopping by whenever we're next in town!

Self-seating once you order, so no hogged tables. Food came out quick for a restaurant. Very busy , but good vibes to eat brunch.

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!

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).

Oat Bakery is a Scandinavian-owned gem with three locations around Santa Barbara: downtown SB, Old…read moreTown Goleta, and Montecito inside the Montecito Country Mart. 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.

Since coming to slodoco the first time, I'll find myself from time to time wanting a donut from here specifically again. Definitely enjoyed my experience and will be back!! Highly recommend.

Hands down the best donut place in Santa Barbara. I visit SB once a month and this is a place that…read moreI head to each time. There is a wide selection of donuts (including fun seasonal varieties) and the donuts are fresh (and almost fully stocked) no matter what time I buy them (even in the evening). I also love the hearty drip coffee. It's perfect to balance my sweet, scrumptious donut. I've had some of the seasonal donuts but my favorites are the Tiger tail (glazed twist with chocolate behind the counter) and the apple fritter. I also appreciate that the prices are reasonable. Been to some places where the "artisanal" donuts are more than $4 and not worth it. The most that I'm paid for a donut (my giant apple fritter that I can eat for days) is $3.95. Again, my favorite donut place and I am a donut monster.
