Great stop next to the mujeres market. I've been here before for their high tea and remember asking…read morethem what bread they use for their cucumber sandwiches and they said white bread from Trader Joe's. Such a fancy place so I thought they made the bread in house. Their pastries are so pretty it was hard to break to eat. So sweet and delicious. We couldn't finish both. One sweet per three instead of two would have been better. Not busy at 2pm on a Sunday. Would come again.

We were seated inside right away. They do have both inside and outside seating. The hostess and waitresses were very nice and accommodating. Food came out looking SO pretty!

So amazing!

Could be considered a little pricey-chicken was around $20 with no sides- but I think that the quality of the fresh ingredients make it worth it. Got a piece of carrot cake to go and it was amazing.

Will be back!

Stopped by here for some breakfast. Had always heard about their incredible almond croissants, and…read moreit was finally time to give them a try. Their almond croissants are absolutely delicious! Large almond croissant stuffed with a thick, rich almond filled that is divine. Probably one of the best croissants I have ever had. That being said, I'm giving it a 4/5 for the rest of their food. We had come for breakfast, and their meals seemed a bit more expensive for the taste of the food. Just average, don't think I would order a plate of food here again. However, I would hands down come back for more of their croissants. Great drinks. Their Peach Mint Iced Tea was DELISH, and their fresh squeezed orange juice was perfect. Their coffee menu left a bit to be desired, don't think I would choose one of those again. Overall, this is the place to go to grab yourself one of the best almond croissants. Would return for another one of those.

The good: This place is a winner. The pastries here were…read morephenomenal. They were the amongst the best I've ever had! I got the morning cinnamon roll, pain suiss chocolat, and the chocolate almond croissant. I don't know why pain au chocolat and almond croissants are usually 2 separate things but here they were combined into one pastry and of course it is as delicious as it sounds. The pain suiss was my favorite because it had a delectably crunchy and fine texture from all of the small striations on the pastry. The display for the pastries was small and didn't seem like there was an impressive spread but everything was a hit and I am sure all of the other pastries were delicious as well. They had savory menu items too. The bad: The interior is small and there are only a few high chairs. The interesting: There were plenty of spots to park when I came in the morning right in front of the store. There were also several outdoor tables for dining.

Bree'osh is a cute bakery in Montecito to stop at for some baked goods and drinks!…read more Really friendly staff who gave us bogo on pastries in the last hour of being open for the day! Win for both of us! We gobbled up their remaining goods of the morning and got a great deal. Their grains are all from France, specializing in sourdough and hand making all their pastries. We tried the Almond Croissant and a fruit cookie which were both good. The standout is their Kouign Amann ($5.50) which you can't find everywhere! The owner of this bakery is actually from Brittany, France - the town this little delight was created in. Dominique Ansel made me fall in love with these flaky treats, and Bree'osh does the kouign amann quite well. If you've never had one before, it's similar to a croissant with brown sugar folded into a very buttery and delicious mold. Also had a solid cold brew coffee. With a few seats inside and outside on the cute outdoor sidewalk, Bree'osh is a fabulous place for a morning stop.

The upper village retains a very casual, not trying to impress atmosphere of old Montecito. The staff is always friendly, one lady has been working here the whole time I've been a customer, I think over 20 years ! Even though it's busy, it's manageable. There are tables and seats across the parking lot in the park area which is very nice. I had the curry chicken wrap, it's good. The club wrap was kind of bland, so wouldn't order that again. I appreciate all the specialty items. Coffee drinks are good, and I'm happy they carry the unsweetened Yerba Mate.

I have been coming here pretty much everyday before work for a coffee and smoothie. When I call and…read moretell them my name, they know my order which I appreciated. 2 days ago, I went in as normal and the lady in the back told me that they will take care of me at the front. I got a card as well, went up and paid, & left. Yesterday when I went in a lady in the back told me the smoothie wasn't paid for. I was confused and checked my statement and gladly paid for it as the day before it appeared I was only charged for the card (not my mistake). When I went in this morning, the older lady who is usually pretty nice said to me with a few people around, "you need to pay this time". I thought that was pretty petty and unprofessional to say in front of other customers as well. Again I have been coming here for months and have spent well over $1,500 here in the last half year or so. After today I think that may change as it just isn't right to address something like that when it was a workers mistake not charging me correctly the first time around.

We ordered a Reuben sandwich and a salad to share. The food is very high quality and the presentation is lovely but the portion sizes were a little smaller as we had hoped for a good size lunch to share. Nevertheless, we're glad we got to try their Cafe. The waitress was really kind. I was curious about the beet hummus and she brought out a taste which was delicious. There's no doubt I would be back to check out their offerings another time but they are fairly pricey for what you get, and probably a good place to go if you want to eat something on the lighter side.
