Stopped by here last Friday to get some lunch. Ordered: 1) club med panini - tastes good, I ate this 2) Detroit sandwich - husband enjoyed this and big size 3) breakfast burrito with sausage - fluffy eggs I liked it 4) Easter egg cookie $2.25 5) glazed donut $1.95 6) apple juice bottle Each sandwich came with a cookie so we got snickerdoodle and chocolate chip. read more

We stumbled onto this bakery on our drive home on Highway 5. This review is strictly for their vanilla latte, and it was perfect. Not too sweet, with a strong coffee flavor that actually lets you taste the espresso instead of drowning it in syrup. As someone who's picky about sweetness levels, this one nailed the balance right out of the gate -- no adjustments needed. read more

I ordered my wedding cake from this place months in advance via a phone order. I had to request a receipt because the person did not offer it automatically. I'm glad I requested it because on the day of pickup my friend arrived and the employee immediately stated there wasn't any order under my name. She showed him the receipt multiple times and after checking 3 times in the back area, the employee finally found the cakes. It was an extremely frustrating and stressful situation considering the occasion and I was very unhappy and frustrated to hear that my friend had dealt with this nonsense despite having placed an order in advance. Thankfully we had the receipt that was never initially offered. I don't even want to imagine what would have happened if I hadn't asked for a receipt. It's very disappointing that this place ended up being so unorganized with their orders. read more

The food and pastries here are amazing and the prices a very reasonable. We got a few donuts which are just around $1.5 each and a burrito, great deal. The coffee is pretty good as well. The line can get long but service is fast and friendly. There is seating outside and a farmers market on sundays. Recommend to stop here! read more

What a cute little shop! This is the true definition of a bakery. They have almost everything you could think of! The service was very quick and all the employees had a smile of their face. I wasn't a fan of the Mexican wedding cookies. IMO you can't be good at everything with this big of a variety. Plenty of room outside the bakery to eat with your friends and family! read more

Anna's is a cute bakery located in Goleta. It's in the main shopping mall area with the Costco and restaurants that I'm surprised I haven't noticed this spot sooner. Tucked next to the Starbucks I guess I've been overlooking this spot but I'm glad my friend and I stopped in for a quick treat. This bakery is surprisingly packed with many bakery goodies, cookies, little cake slices like cheesecake, eclairs, and other yummy bites. They also have a pretty good low key lunch menu with soups, salads, and sandwiches. This spot had much more than I anticipated and what was stellar is we came around 12:30pm and the cases were well stocked. Sometimes at bakeries I've found when you come after the morning there are less options but no issues here. Service was really good too! Two gentlemen were working the counters and they were both super super nice. Since I had never been here I needed some time to look over the cases and menu, the gentlemen didn't seemed bothered and allowed me to take my time. He was attentive and very friendly. I ended up only grabbing an eclair to go but once I got home and ate it I was so happy! It was delicious and classic. My friend got a sandwich which she was able to customize which was nice. Prices are reasonable here and it was a cute vibe. Definitely worth checking out if you're on this side of town. read more

Went to Starbucks for coffee but went to Anna's for a tasty baked good. A pretty good selection from donuts to pastries. Young friendly staff, nice to just pop in and go. Got the turkey provolone croissant and cinnamon roll donut. read more

This is for their sandwiches: don't get a sandwich here. They completely screwed up my order. I had burned toast, 1 slice of roast beef and 1 slice of ham. For the price, this did not add up. Had one bite and threw it away. Won't be coming back. read more

Vegan chocolate donut was amazing , so soft and tasty , the icing is more hard which i love!! Not overly sweet . One of the best donuts i've tried . I also tried the Matcha which i wasn't a huge fan of , but if you don't mind pre sweetened matcha it's good ! I'm a matcha snob but it definitely tied over the craving ! read more

Came in here for a quick bagel and cream cheese. The service was so friendly and everything else looked so delicious. I can't wait to come back and try some of the baked goods! Also their cakes are absolutely adorable and would be perfect for a holiday party this season or birthday. read more

I stopped by with my friends in the spring time on a Sunday right before noon and this place was sure packed! The line was long and this place was poppin'. Fortunately, the line seemed to move fast. I saw ppl buying lots of yummy baked goods. I ordered a large lavender latte with oat milk. The latte was delicious and I shared with a friend... But honestly, kinda wish I got my own LOL. It wasn't too hot so it didn't burn my tongue. I could taste the espresso, which wasn't bitter but smooth. The lavender syrup didn't taste artificial and the oat milk didn't make my stomach hurt haha. They top off the latte with a cute heart latte art and some lavender petals. I definitely had to snap a pic before putting the lid on! I always appreciate any sort of latte art! Parking: The shop is located within a big lot with rows of parking. We had no issues at all finding a spot. Tip: They have farmers markets here from time to time so it was nice to grab a coffee and walk around and support local (and far!) sellers! All in all, great coffee shop! I'd come back if I'm back in the area. read more

Anna's is ok, it definitely gets the job done when you have a sweet craving. The place itself is small and cute and I appreciate their variety of baked goods and hot items! The person who helped me out was kind and helpful, so thank you! I got a French waffle, brownie, and crème brûlée donut. The donut was definitely the best of the three. It was incredibly sweet, and yet the least sweet of the three. The filling had a good texture and the brûlée on top was crisp, not soggy so I know it was fresh! The brownie was ok. It was thin and had a lot of chocolate frosting on top, which I was not a fan of. To me, brownies do not need frosting since they're already so rich, decadent, and sweet. I still wanted to give it a try but was disappointed. Texture was ok but I couldn't handle it! The French waffle was the sweetest of them all. It was... weird. Puff pastry coated in turbinado sugar, filling with a lot of vanilla buttercream and raspberry preserves. Wow, my teeth hurt. The puff pastry was stale. The buttercream tasted like what you'd find on a cake from a grocery store (think Albertsons, Walmart), and the raspberry preserves were artificial tasty. It was weird. I just wanted a sweet treat, and I guess they delivered? Overall disappointing and would not return unfortunately :( read more

Anna's Bakery at the Marketplace is a popular spot. It is a small space with a limited breakfast, lunch and baked goods menu. It is sufficient, if you are in the mood for a quick bite and are in the mood for pastries and the like. So basically, you pick up what you need and if you wish to eat right away, there is plenty of seating outside. I was here for a very small bite and therefore honed in on the Dainties. I tried both the apricot and the strawberry varieties. Both were dry, with very little filling. What you mostly tasted was the pastry dough. They must have a good turnover because they were out of the chocolate croissants, by the time I got there (about 10:30 am). The marketplace is a nice area to be in. It has several other eateries that are next to or in very close proximity to this bakery. Service was good. read more

The people at this bakery were super nice and super accommodating, so I will give them that. I also understand that in person, the bakery has some amazing offerings. However, I ordered a cake from Los Angeles for my daughter that goes to school in Santa Barbara for her 19th birthday. I requested a very simple design of headphones. Nothing too complex or demanding of too much time. For the price, I really expected a much more professional looking cake. The idea was a very simple one and any professional cake decorator should've been able to execute it in a way that was much neater and more professional looking. Quite honestly, as a baker myself I know that I could've done a much better job. They also didn't follow the instructions which were to write my daughter's name from the wire in the headphones. I will post pictures so you can get an idea of what I'm talking about. In any case, I just feel that for $60 for an 8 inch round cake I was really expecting something fabulous, neat and professional, and unfortunately this time, Anna's didn't really deliver that. read more

A good amount of businesses, such as coffee shops, seem to get their pastries from here - probably for a better profit margin. It's always disappointing when they do, because it demonstrates they value quantity over quality. I mean, the baked goods are edible but not worth trying when there's so many other options nearby. Unfortunately everything I've tried has been dry and has the strong flavor/odor of vegetable oil. All of their bagels are like cardboard. How is it that a blueberry bagel can smell and look so fruity, yet have no taste? Their croissants don't even contain butter, better off getting them at Costco. On the bright side, they have a convenient location that's very accessible with lots of parking and seating. They also care about their customer service and it shows. Just wish they sold better products read more

This is our Go To place for cakes. They are beautiful and not overly sweet like grocery store cakes! I recommend getting a sandwich as well. It comes with a cookie and will be quickly made! Great service, knowledgeable staff and loads of places to sit outside in the sun. read more

Anna's Bakery is a local favorite. Friendly staff, Great Food! I have lived in Goleta for the past 17 years and our family LOVES Anna's. Great coffee, pastries, donuts, and of course cakes. Delish! Also, Anna's always gives back to the local community. They have donated to Dos Pueblos High School Music Program's Jazz Festival for the past 4 years in a row. Thank you Anna's Bakery for your continued support of our local community. A special shout out to Bethany, Ben, and Lisa. read more

Bakery came well recommended so I ordered cupcakes for my son's wedding, spent hundreds of dollars. Disappointed that the cupcakes were very dry, if not stale? They looked nice but did not taste good at all. Additionally, the employee brought out my order and none of the boxes were labeled, including the gluten free cupcakes. Wish I would have just picked up cupcakes at the grocery store instead. Cannot recommend this bakery read more

Cute place in the shopping center across from Home Depot. Large variety of pastries. Breakfast and lunch menus have healthier options. Grabbed breakfast burritos to go and a latte. All very good. They have a nice seating area outside. Plenty of parking. Great service. read more

Has really gone downhill lately. Staff are often rude or short with you, eager to move on to the next customer. Quality of the baked goods has also gone downhill while prices have gone up a lot. We used to go multiple times a week and instead go elsewhere now. read more

Wow, some the best pastries, iris of the same Orr better quality than Almandine's in Los Angeles. The pastries I had, raspberry cream cheese and an Almond croissant, both are absolutely filled with wonderfully delicious filling. We will be stopping here again.

Happy 2022 everyone! This year will surely see me at Anna's quite a few more times. When a friend told me that a bakery close to where I live offers vegan donuts, I was psyched--I'm vegan and it's oddly difficult to find good vegan food, sweets, and drinks in this area. Checking out Anna's Bakery a few days later, I wasn't let down. I've sampled both the vegan glazed donut and the apple fritter, as well as the house coffee, and all were great. The donut is puffy and airy and sweet. The fritter has glorious crunchy, oily edges and a surprisingly doughy interior, complete with apple pieces and a glossy, sugary varnish. (Did you know some 'apple fritters' elsewhere don't even contain apple?) The coffee is hot and black and perfectly balances the candy-like sweetness of the baked goods. There's always a long line and seating is limited so be prepared. This shop also offers non-vegan donuts (the majority contain milk products, though I'm crossing my fingers for a vegan cake donut in 2022). There is also a menu of savory food. Breads and donuts and cookies are also available to go. That pink box, unmistakably brimming with tasty treats, is sure to being smiles to any gathering... especially if you have vegan friends who are so used to being left out when sweet baked goods appear. read more

Cute little store with a bit of a line and no indoor seating. Fortunately, it's located at an outdoor plaza with a great atmosphere that offers lots of tables and seating. I got an apple fritter, which tasted fresh and definitely rivaled SloDoCo. If you like large apple fritters with lots of moist apple chunks, you'd like this bakery! read more

Overall, a small, cozy bakery with some decent options if you don't want to go downtown. The servers were friendly. I got the Mexican Sweet Bread and Almond Croissant: Mexican Sweet Bread: It looks like a beautifully crafted seashell! I will say that the pastry is high quality and made well, but it is very bland and doesn't taste like anything :| Almond Croissant: it has good almond flavor and is relatively light. I'm not sure why the croissant is round though, as it made all the almond paste shifted to one side. But overall, pretty decent pastry! read more

Shoutout to Anna's Bakery for being so amazing! In addition to freshly baked goods, wonderful service and a clean and welcoming establishment, they fulfilled our order of about 400 doughnuts and pastries for a very important corporate event (including custom doughnuts with white frosting and blue sprinkles). We ultimately decided to pick up the order, but they also deliver for a fee. All of the danishes were a hit and warm at pickup. I highly recommend this business. Thank you Anna's! read more

I always order the ham and cheese croissant. It is very yummy heated up. I have been coming here for almost twenty years. It was one of my favorite places when I was attending UCSB. The service here is great. They usually employ some students which is great. The owner is usually here too so that is always a plus. They are also on the Twism app for ten percent off. The ambiance is a clean upscale donut place. My cafe de olla was just ok but I usually get the vanilla nut coffee here. They even used to sell the coffee beans here which I used to buy too. read more

I've been to Anna's twice. Once at 7am and another time at 2pm. I got some of the smaller pastries and a muffin. I also tried their sausage breakfast burrito. The food is pretty average, nothing spectacular. The service is really good though, I ordered a coffee in the afternoon and they made sure that my brew selection was still there and hot. I think the selection is definitely better early in the morning. Anything past that time, nothing looks good and it's pretty scarce--which makes sense because it's a bakery. Some tables to sit outside, but feels more like a to go place! read more

i LOVE the donuts here, the best in goleta and sb. most of the time theres a line out the door because everyone loves it!! they also have amazing lunch or brunch. and perfect cakes for parties. like everything you could wish for!! the workers are very nice too read more

LOVE THIS LOCAL BAKESHOP! Not only are their donuts and cookies excellent, but the loafs are so delicious and the cakes are wonderful too. Even better than their baked goods is their customer service. Always cheerful and so sweet. **Plus they donate 500 donut coupons to the Dos Pueblos High School After Prom every year! This is definitely the place to go for all your sweet treats (and the prices are good)! read more

I have been here twice to get cakes for my birthdays. The cake itself is good. But the decoration is horrendous. They charge you about 10-20 dollars for some mid-decoration. I don't mind paying more if they would do a better job at decorating. One side in the inspo photo I show them, and one side is the cake I got with the candle on it. The placement and size of the number were uneven. When I showed them the photo, I noticed that the number didn't look too neat so I called them to make sure they could make it look more neat and even. It was embarrassing to look at my cake on my birthday because they were so ugly. I waited a long time after to write this review because I didn't want to be this person. But I want to put it on here just so people who come here are aware! read more

Their stuff is mediocre, their counter staff not knowledgeable. It seems lime it's a store Not a bakery. Meaning they outsource. Their croissant always have a bit of a stale taste, not buttery tasting, and not that flaky. Their donuts seem mass made. They don't have bread loaves so they admit they're not a bakery but a sweets shop. There's better stuff out there if you're a connoisseur. If you're a neighborhood person that goes to McDonalds, it's fine. read more

Humm I had great hope for this location. Ordered an oat milk latte and an almond croissant. Disappointing. The latte tasted like watered coffee not espresso as lattes should be with cheap gross oat milk, the almond croissant was dry with half of it filled with what tasted like sugar and something gritty. The service was great the bakery yikes. read more

The cake they made for my birthday was absolutely beautiful. I was so thrilled to see how it turned out and it looked exactly like the inspiration photo. The only bummer was that the box they used was too small in height so the top of the cake was kind of ruined, and the main reason I wanted the cake was for photos. Overall it turned out absolutely amazing, I would just recommend the management to train the employees who box the cakes to make sure it fits because that ruined the whole purpose of the cakes presentation. read more
