Update: I just came in and had the most delicious, un-pretentious, delightful meal. I had the egg and bacon on Parmesan brioche. A Parmesan brioche? Yes! It was so crunchy and perfect, the eggs light and fluffy. I got to meet the owner and his team, and they're all so friendly. It's like having the best of French baking without having to deal with flying to Paris. They're doing some really fun things in the kitchen, I took like a dozen things to take back to LA. Original post: I haven't eaten here yet, I just give them 5 stars for their food porn, the pictures are beautiful! read more

I've never had a more delicious pudding in my life, and I don't think I've ever had a brioche pudding, and the sugar brioche - amazing. We really just stopped in for coffees, but we ended up getting perfect lattes and desserts. The shop was cute too. Perfect way to end up after our long beach walk while visiting Montecito. read more

Bree'osh - Montecito - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

This place was very cute and had a very nice patio to sit on. However, the service was alright. The person taking orders was not the friendliest and also did not make sure our order was actually placed. We received the coffee but never got the food. Had to approach the server who was extremely friendly. Too overpriced to not be taken care of! Will definitely not be returning, sadly dissatisfied. read more

Bree'osh - Montecito - The order counter - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Santa Barbara, California

This is a wonderful place for coffee and brunch. We are staying an 18 minute walk away at the Four Seasons and this is the place I wanted to try for brunch. The walk is really nice after you cross the railroad tracks and the freeway overpass. I really wanted to try the almond croissant it looked delicious. I also had a brioche egg and bacon sandwich with salad. Everything here is made to order and wonderful. We were able to secure a seat inside and now I want to go back and try all the other pastries. Highly recommend coming here when you are in Santa Barbara. Happy Yelping! read more

Gave it 3 stars because the baked goods are usually very good here. I always get the chocolate croissant, which is typically very light, flaky, and delicious when warmed up. However, I'm today there was just something really off about it. The dough was super thick & bread-y. When warmed up it smelled like the butter was rancid or something... not at all appetizing. And when I ate it there was definitely a heaviness to the dough that isn't usually there, and it tasted off... almost like it was a day old or something. For $4.25 I expect baked goods to be made fresh daily. Pretty sure I got a day old croissant. Either that or it was a bad batch. read more

When I'm in Santa Barbara, I make it a point to come here because I love this place that much. I come for their breakfast items and was also lucky enough to try their seasonal lemon meringue tart. Their buckwheat ciabatta that the tartines come on is delightfully soft. The bread itself is enough reason to come but Bree'osh offers so much more than that. I have also tried their French toast and kouign amann and both are also good, no surprise there! read more

Cute little Montecito spot! Expected it to be a bit bigger, but the outside seating turned over quickly. There is no wait staff, rather it is counter service. Definitely not the best for big parties! The food was all delicious, with the bread being the standout for sure! Price was a bit expensive, but on par with Santa Barbara. I ordered the Croque Madame, and enjoyed it fully. Especially loved that it came with a side salad - my favorite breakfast side! Wished that they gave us our drinks in "for here" cups instead of giving us to-go cups when the meal was "for here". Friendly staff, and nice that there is parking right out front. read more

I came here for a quick breakfast before starting my day. I got the ham gruyere croissant and morning brioche popover. I had the lady warm up the croissant, but somehow only the outer layer got warm...the inside was cold. I wasn't a fan and wouldn't get it again. The popover, however, was very good and cinnamony. If I ever come again, I would just get that. Note: Small dining area inside with outdoor dining on the patio. Parking right out front. read more

Excellent service and great food. Highly recommend and look forward to returning when we pass through Montecito

If I could give more than 5 stars. I will do it. You won't be disappointed for their pastry. This place is the best of the best croissant I ever had in my life. We drove from LA to stayed in Santa Barbara and found this this from yelp. It's not far from our hotel. Only 10 mins drive from hotel. We ordered mushroom& cheese croissant. It was super delicious and so flaky. The mushroom &cheese go very well not salty at all. The croque madame/ monsieur was super soft. The staffs are so nice and very friendly especially their service mind. We brought plain butter croissant and chocolate croissant to bring them to LA also. I think I should buy more. The butter croissant very buttery and smell so good. The chocolate croissant was not too sweet. They're all perfect for me. For sure I will do stop by every time if I have a chance to go Santa Barbara for supporting small local business. read more

Cute little shop. It was tiny so not quite sure what to expect being my first time. My husband said the French toast was the best he ever had. Portions were small but the quality of the food and taste was top notch. Everyone commented on how the bread was amazing. I ate every last bite! If I am ever back in the area I would definitely go back. read more

Such a surprise to find a near perfect, by Paris standards butter croissant in Montecito! I did notice a slight difference between the pastry I tried in late Dec to one in March. As the one first one was a bit more buttery in flavor and crunch. But it was slight. You can notice the slight difference in the photos (inside the croissant) Roughly based on qualifications to win the most prestigious award for a bakery in France, this is what I'm looking for: A perfect all-butter croissant, or croissant au beurre should be the right balance of distinct thin flaky layers and a melt-in-your-mouth buttery, a hint of sweet and slightly chewy dough. It should be uniform in shape, cooked until golden and have a slight sheen with a touch of salt. Lastly, it should make a loud crunch as you bite into it leaving crumbs on your face and clothing. Being a big fan of croissants and somewhat of a autodidact I felt it necessary to do my own research. A few classes at Le Cordon Bleu Paris to learn how to make them and continue to take many trips to the City of Love visiting all the bakeries famous for croissants. I started with shops that had won the highest honor, Best Croissant in Paris (Du Meilleur Croissant Au Beurre A.O.P. de Paris) which only croissants produced using artisanal, hand-made techniques can compete, which narrows the competitors since 80% of croissants in France. It must be made using industrial methods and ingredients. Bakers must use a specific, high-quality butter bearing the Charentes-Poitou A.O.C./A.O.P. label. read more

The worker was friendly. The food was pretty good and the quiche was bomb. No a quiche fan, but would get it again.

Yummy breakfast sandwich. I'll come back to check out the smoked salmon tartine and croque madame.

My most memorable bakery and cafe trip led me to Japan and I've chased for a few years now that baked goodness. When an early morning trip to Santa Barbara warranted breakfast, my search fortunately and finally turned me onto Bree'osh, Cafe Montecito. Our order was performed online, but it later turned in-person because of all the goods at the shop. There are several street parking spots in front of the cafe on Coast Village Road. Be greeted happily with the cheerful yellow paint and make sure to read the signs on the storefront for baguette availability, specials, and other notices. The pastries are incredible, fantastic, and laudable. The croissant has an impeccable crisp on the outside from the numerous layers, is delectably flaky, and then finishes with an interior that is a breath of tasty, buttery air. We also procured savory and sweet: Almond, Chocolate, Ham and Cheese, and Mushroom and Cheese. The mushroom and cheese croissant was a major standout with a perfect balance in flavor (still taste pastry!) and texture (creamy). We could not resist ordering bread while picking up croissants and it turned into brioche and baguette (8 AM) add-ons to our order at the store. The brioche has a cake-like interior consistency and I can attest that it is good days after (250F, baked a few minutes). It's not overly butter-flavored and I appreciate that about the brioche. The baguette, a bread I dislike personally, is not as crisp on the outside (plus for me) and the inside of the baguette is fluffy! In comparison to a baguette from Republique, Bree'osh has the version that would make me consider eating a baguette again. With regards to service, I have a lot to appreciate since I am neither a regular and experienced a delay to food. Our hot food order took a long time, it is likely due to a miscommunication. We waited patiently outside in view of the shop and with the amount of customers Bree'osh has in the morning, I chalked it up to that. In the end, Nelly (?) and the staff apologized for the long wait -- only apology needed is keeping us away from how good this pastry is. :) Everybody made it right, thank you for making a trip and day. Finally, if you don't want to eat at the cafe itself, you can take the pastries and head to Butterfly Beach nearby -- there is a walking tunnel, be careful. The pastries do not need the view to elevate it, but it made for a marvelous morning. read more

Croissants were great. But thats about it. Been here multiple times to try different items, each time a let down. Breakfast sandwich was cold and bland. Same with quiche. Customer service was acting like we were an inconvenience, even though we just ordered a normal meal. We had no substitutions, just regular menu items. A smile and a thank you would be nice haha if it's not too much to ask. read more

I'm afraid to count the number of times I've driven by Bree'osh on highway 101, blissfully unaware of the treat I have been missing this entire time. I live 90 minutes north, and I had no business strolling around Montecito until the day my girlfriend got a job there...right next to what would become my favorite, cozy little French café. If I said it's an understatement to say this place is amazing, then that in itself would be...an understatement. Yes, you read that right. Let's dig into why this may be. First, the owners are a young French couple; friendly, modest and they speak with a delightful French accent. Some places have one amazing dish, so the choice is easy. Not the case with Bree'osh-each dish is on equal par with every other. If they can't make it perfect, you won't know because it won't be on the menu. The only solution I've found to this delicious dilemma is to try as many things as I can. Their "croque monsieur" was my first experience. The balance of flavors, texture, temperature, and overall aesthetics make me feel like I'm eating a dish prepared by Thomas Keller at his home. Their coffee is fantastic (my girlfriend is a former barista, and wholeheartedly agrees). Their croissant taste like France itself, and the flavors have the power to paralyze me for a brief moment as I completely loose my train of thought. So yes, I like this place...I really, really do. :-) read more

Really outstanding food. They have simple items with high quality ingredients done really well. Got the croque monsieur which was so delicious. Crispy and fluffy bread with a bechamel sauce and finely sliced, very tender ham. Not too salty, not too cheesy. The side salad was also surprisingly wonderful with a lightly sweetened dressing and lots of Parmesan. My only criticism - and this is kind of a big one - is that they don't have a bathroom. Had to go a gas station nearby. read more

Updating my 5-star review to reflect 2021... STILL AMAZING, STILL COVID SAFE, ALL PASTRIES ARE BACK. Kouignn Amann are incredible (weekend only), and the cinnamon roll and morning bun are amazing. I'm still here for the mushroom croissant, and I have just discovered that their BACON is the BEST! I'm still trying to figure out how to order that croissant bun sandwich that's featured on the Yelp... that thing is perfectly photo-worthy (as is literally everything here). Looking forward to trying their bread loaves soon! read more

Came for brunch and tried the egg and cheese breakfast sandwich! It was very simple, but the eggs were cooked perfectly and the bread roll it was on was fluffy goodness. I personally really like the salads here! My bf got an omelette with mushrooms, artichoke, and bacon and also said that he recommended it. We took home a chocolate chip cookie and brioche!! They're pastries are like no other- and this is from someone who loves Asian bakeries. read more

Ordered a breakfast sandwich and paid extra for avocado and bacon. They did not put avocado in and I had to go back to ask for it. They said they would bring it out on the side. By the time they brought it out and I was able to put it in my sandwich myself (messy) my sandwich was cold. Pretty disappointing for a $20 sandwich. Also, fyi no bathrooms. read more

Oh yes, Bree'osh is one of the many reasons to visit Montecito besides trying to map out where Oprah's estate properties are at. My favorite is the croissant with the egg in the middle! A little bummed they ran out last time I went during pandemic. They also make super yummy sandwiches. There are a few outdoor tables but there is no room to eat inside. Pro tip - order their pastries online to avoid having to wait in line. Service is excellent! read more

Fantastic breakfast sandwich! The eggs were whipped in such a way that I've never had before and I am a breakfast sandwich fanatic. Can't wait to return! read more
