We went for brunch on a weekend while traveling and it was clear this is the spot in town: the line was out the door, but it moved quickly. You order at the counter, they seat you, and the food comes out to your table. We had the lobster Benedict and the challah French toast, and both delivered. The lobster Benedict was generous and rich, and the French toast impressed my wife who has high standards when it comes to French toast. The atmosphere was lively and inviting, and the staff stayed attentive and friendly even with the crowd moving through. If you're in the Santa Barbara area, make time for this one. Next time, I'm going to try the chilaquiles. Almost forgot - best hash browns I've had in a while as well.

I was on the hunt for a classic French omelet when I came across Alessia Patisserie & Cafe, and…read morethis place far exceeded my expectations in every way! As soon as I walked in, I was immediately drawn to the beautiful display of desserts. They have a huge selection of croissants, cookies, tarts, cakes, mini cheesecakes, and so much more--and everything is just as wonderful to look at as it is to eat. Even though I originally came here for the French omelet, there was no way I was leaving without trying some of the pastries. So I ended up getting the salted chocolate chip cookie and the lemon & raspberry tart, and I absolutely loved both! The salted chocolate chip cookie was soft and chewy in the center with just a slight crunch around the edges. The salt sprinkled on top really enhanced the chocolate flavor and gave it that perfect sweet-and-salty balance. But the lemon & raspberry tart was what I would call a nearly perfect dessert. It had just the right amount of tartness from the lemon and raspberry, while the light, fluffy meringue on top balanced everything out beautifully. Now for the savory food! I was so sure I was going to order the French omelet, but for some reason, the Blue Crab Crepe was calling my name. So I decided to go with that along with the Veggie Quiche, and I have absolutely no regrets about either choice. The Blue Crab Crepe came with two crepes generously stuffed with fresh-tasting blue crab and topped with lemon hollandaise and chives. The Veggie Quiche does take a little longer to come out, but it is absolutely worth the wait. Mine came with sun-dried tomatoes, Parmesan, and basil, and it was delicious. The breakfast entrées also come with your choice of house potatoes, fruit, or a side salad. One thing to note: you order everything at the counter first before finding yourself a seat, and there is also a self-serve water station. From the beautiful décor and relaxed café vibes to the sweet AND savory food, I loved everything about this place. I originally came in searching for a French omelet and somehow left without even ordering one--which I guess just gives me the perfect excuse to come back!

We arrived during a busy Saturday morning and were lucky to be seated right away. Our server Sidney was awesome. Arrived with a smile, patients made great recommendations, and very efficient. Props to Sterling, also her brother, and his excellent basing support as well as keeping our water glasses filled. We also had the opportunity to meet one of the co-owners who was humble and helpful! The food was some of the best I tasted! The pastries were amazing and sauces delectable. Everything was cooked to order and prepared with care. We were so happy with our food that we had to take some pastries to go. We will definitely be back to visit this charming place!

This lovely Bistro is five stars all the way The staff couldn't be nicer. Richard was especially wonderful. He is so knowledgeable and told me that the owner designed this bakery with the idea that you should feel like you're in France without having to take the trip--and that is definitely the vibe! He also shared that they usually have French music playing that the owner grew up with, but unfortunately that wasn't available today. It was so fun talking with Richard about music. He is such a cordial, lovely, and talented young man. I also learned a lot about the food/menu and the pastries. The lamination on the baked goods is surreal. I wanted just a tiny taste so I got the brownie cookie and it is so scrumptious. Thank you for the recommendation Gabrielle. I can't wait to come back and try them all so I can walk them off in the village! LOL I also had the best matcha, and I am SO thrilled that they have soy milk. Hooray! What a sweet first visit. I'll definitely be back. Thank you! Support local:)

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.

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.

Truffle dip had no truffle flavor and the other dip was so watery. What happened here? Did they change the cook/recipes? Service was indifferent as always. Such a sad, wasteful experience.
