We were not able to taste test due to our work schedules and location, so we chose a flavor that sounded great. We chose white chocolate icing with blackberry lavender filling. We LOVED it! Our guest asked for seconds and begged for large slices! We cut our cake on a chartered yacht, and delivery was great. Our crew noted it was the most beautiful cake they have seen on board. Erin and Heather, thank you so much for being part of my day and forever part of an important memory.

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.

*Cristino's Bakery is a local gem!*…read more While everything I've tried here is top-tier, there's a clear hierarchy of deliciousness: The salsa: Fresh, flavorful, and has the perfect kick. 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!

My husband ordered cupcakes from here to take to a wonderful dinner party. It was sealed so we…read moredidn't see but when we received them, the cupcakes were moist and nice, but they were upside down in their tins and there was absolutely no frosting on the cupcakes and they didn't make sure the cupcakes aren't upside down in the tins. We opened the box at our party we attended and sadly no one wanted them. The host sent us home with them.. A bit embarrassing It seems we were required to pay more for frosting after we paid $35.00 for a dozen cupcakes ‍ I never write less than par reviews.. I hope this place corrects this without hurriedly sending cupcakes already boxed without speaking with the client explaining to them that icing was "extra" and not taking the time to place the cupcakes right side up so the client isn't surprised with cupcakes not looking like pretty cupcakes.

Let's just say Biscoff is back!…read more As a college student I love being able to come by and grab a bundtlet (or two..) I brought a friend to try these cakes for his very first time! Biscoff & Oreo were our choices but I'd get a lemon one too if I could. The shop is clean, simple, and comfortable. The cakes are cooled and ready to eat once you're home. Quick and easy, im very happy with it.

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).

When you walk in you feel welcomed. The vibe is relaxed with wonderful music. All this comes together with the most incredible team. You talk with strangers while sitting on the bench.

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!
