We got almond croissant, cinnamon swirl/morning bun, chocolate croissant, cappuccino and iced latte. All bakery items were fresh and delicious. Coffee was good. Price was reasonable. They do have outdoor seating. Tables were sanitized before seating the next party. read more

Okay. As an amateur baker, I can only dream and imagine of making brioche and pastries this amazing! Santa Barbara this is a real gem ! Passing through Santa Barbara on the way up north, this location was a great breakfast spot for either to go or quick sit down meal. My partner ordered the brioche egg sandwich and I had the ham and cheese croissant + a must have, almond croissant! Food talk. the brioche bun was light fluffy and amazing and probably the best brioche I've had. But to me the star was the croissant. It's amazing to see the lavers that were achieved on the croissant which made it amazingly buttery and flaky and honestly the last time I had a croissant this amazing was when I lived in Montreal but this has definitely topped that. The almond croissant is one of the best I've ever had. The marzipan was perfectly sweeten with a balance almond flavor which is not always the case with most almond croissant which seemingly put waaaayyy too much almond extract. Definitely get the almond croissant ! Compliments to the chef . Worthy of the five star rating! Highly recommend and must have ! Can't wait to come back. read more

This little shop in the middle of Montecito has some delicious bites. I was in town for a wedding so got to eat here twice. I had their signature bacon and egg pastry, which I am told sells out first thing so get there early if you want one! Their croissants are the real deal. read more

Love love! When the baked goods are as yummy as they are beautiful, you know you're in the right spot! We came here for brunch on the way home after a weekend camping in SB and enjoyed a mushroom egg sandwich on croissant and an almond croissant, both excellent! They have a cute little seating area under some umbrellas for outdoor seating. read more

Came here for a quick breakfast. The sandwiches were highly rated and decided to try them. The bread is great but the sandwich itself was pretty bland. It was ok. Their other pastries and bread were good but not super impressed with the taste of the egg sandwich. read more

Mom and I stopped by this place for brunch on our way to the zoo. Whoosh. Montecito is certainly a classy place. It was a Saturday and I saw patrons dressed up alongside students studying for tests. The prices reflect what I imagine their lease must be. Our mushroom and Swiss croissants were $8.50 each and an almond and plain croissant for the road brought the total to $26. Service is cordial considering how busy they were and they chop through their line quickly. There is little room inside due to said line so you're better off finding a table outside. There are about half a dozen seating two to four people. Parking is street and I saw a parking structure nearby. The sandwiches, of course, were very rich. Butter croissant, lots of cheese and Bechamel to top it off. Watch those calories fly! Laminated dough is the central theme of this café so the real barometer of quality is the croissant itself. They're a little denser than my favorite bakery in Gardena placing them as a solid but not the best. Still a nice stop if you're in the area and they pack to go orders in biodegradable paper containers which gets a huge thumbs up! read more

Came by to pick up some breakfast. Small store, limited seating indoors. Ordered: 1) Almond Brioche - it was only OK, likely won't get again, was hoping for fluffier texture 2) Croissant - the usual 3) Vanilla latte - husband enjoyed, not me 4) Raspberry pudding - freshly baked and yum, it's was a special item on display read more

the brioche bread in my eggs & smoked salmon sandwich was perfectly fluffy! The croquet madame w/ sunny side up egg on top was delicious! My husband and I both enjoyed the hot vanilla latte & iced mocha latte. Neither were too sweet. Both were flavorful. The mocha latte was not overwhelming of chocolate flavor, which we appreciated. read more

Move over croissant, brioche is the French carb du jour (j/k croissants, I love you always and forever). A must visit when in Montecito or Santa Barbara for a pastry and a coffee or just a pastry or a casual breakfast/brunch (mostly to go but a handful of outdoor tables to enjoy on site). This petite cafe is owned by a French couple that specializes in brioche. I didn't know brioche could take on so many different shapes and purposes, but they did and they're sharing that with the world. The more hearty dishes coming out of the kitchen looked superb, but I was there for a quick morning dessert and latte fix, so I opted for one of the pastry case options (their almond brioche) and practically inhaled it. So delicate, yet rich with the almond paste. The vanilla latte was a winner, as well. read more

Great food, great service. I had the omelet. It was delicious. I would go to this location over the one in Santa Barbara. The service at that one was not very good. But in Montecito, they are on point. read more

I really wanted to like this place because it's close to where I live. I just returned from Paris a week ago and unfortunately the croissants are no where near as good as I had in France. These are overpriced, and they r ok-no different than a supermarket croissant. Take a look at the pain au chocólat, what a joke of chocolate. If u want a good croissant go to Renauds at Loreto plaza. read more

This shop has some really delicious breads and pastries. I stopped here on a weekend during brunch time and there were many people already seated and eating at the outside tables but they still had a great selection left too. I bought a box of attractive, delicious pastries and enjoyed every one of them. The staff behind the counter were polite and friendly. The shop is small, but clean and with a comfortable atmosphere. Parking is a little hairy right there along the main drag, but I got in and out safely and did get a parking space right in front of the building. I will definitely come back here and bring my friends! read more

What a delight! Tucked between boutiques and salons in the quaint main village of Montecito, this wonderful French bakery was a wonderful surprise! A small counter with a handful of the most amazing house-made French pastries, simple breakfast items and delicious coffee....a treat for all your senses. There are a few intimate tables indoors, but we opted to enjoy our breakfast on the patio under cascading bougainvillea blossoms. Order the croissants in any variety....the lamination, the glossy, golden, crunchy exteriors and the light, buttery layers inside made my eyes roll back in my head! (Added bonus: the staff, it appears, are all or mostly French speakers which adds to the charm and made me recall sitting in Parisian cafes....) read more

I spent my 40th birthday down the street at the charming Montecity Inn. I really wanted to stay somewhere small where we could walk to dinner and breakfast. We found this delightful spot up the street thanks to Yelp and the delicious pics posted. It DID NOT DISAPPOINT! We even got to meet the owner. It's a small joint with indoor and outdoor seating. It was full when we arrived but we got a table by the time we ordered the food. The coffee was so delicious and we left with tons of pastries to bring home. Highly suggest any of their egg sandwiches. read more

Bree'osh is a fabulous neighborhood cafe in the heart of Montecito. I went there early Saturday morning and there were many families with kids already enjoying breakfast. It's a cozy place where everyone seems to know each other. This place seems very genuinely French. I tried many of the pastries which were all divine. I had the Brioche eggs and cheese which was very tasty. Also tried the mushroom and cheese croissant which was the best I have ever had. I cant say enough about the Bostock almond croissant, which had the most amazing almond flavor in it. I loved the food and the neighborhood feeling here. Can't wait to go there again! read more

We dropped by on our last morning in Santa Barbara before driving up to Big Sur. It was slightly out of the way but so glad we decided to come! The shop itself is very cute. Very chill vibe sitting outside enjoying the weather while having breakfast. Plus the food is great! My croque madame was so good I was very reluctant to share it with my boyfriend. Jasmine doesn't share food! read more

Fresh quality food and friendly service. Their croissants are out of this world. Will definitely come back.

In my husband's words it feels like we "travelled to Paris without even leaving California." Super cheesy I know, but also accurate! We stopped at Bree'osh on our way out of SB and it was fantastic! We were between a quick bite here and a sit down breakfast at Scarlet Begonia. Well I don't know how Scarlet Begonia would have been, but we are definitely happy with our choice! Bree'osh is a cute little cafe/bakery with a counter that you order at and a few seats indoors and out. We opted for a semi-shaded outdoor spot and waited for our food and coffees. Within just a few minutes we were brought a hot quiche Loraine, egg and bacon sandwich, and an almond chocolate croissant to share as well as two americanos. Bill came out to about $40 The quiche was fantastic. I'd venture to say best I've ever had. Super light, fluffy, fresh eggs inside and a light, buttery, flaky crust. The meat inside added the perfect amount of salt. My husband enjoyed his sandwich as well, but when I let him try my quiche he said he almost wish he would have gotten that too. We decided to save the chocolate croissant for a mid road trip snack, so I still have that to look forward to. Overall excellent experience and a way to leave SB on a high note. Too bad we love too far to make another visit! Highly recommend if you're in SB!! read more

Wow! The breakfast sandwich was the best i've ever had. Great coffee and environment. Dani was super friendly and welcoming.

Amazing breakfast sandwich at a great price! Dani helped us out with exceptional service. Would recommend to anyone!

We stopped by on a lazy Sunday afternoon visit. It definitely exceeded my expectations. The atmosphere is very relax, counter order then grab a table outside. They also have pastries on the counter. The owners were super nice and friendly. We ordered the croque madam and salmon/avocado sandwich. Service was fast but I can't say for a busy day. Both were delicious but I would recommend the croque madam more. Broche is what they do here and it definitely brought me back to my summers spent in Paris. read more

I loved the almond croissant! So glad I asked what they're known for. This was crispy and delicate on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside with some sweet honeylike mixture folded in. I also tried the egg and bacon brioche sandwich which came with a light salad. The egg was soft and creamy. Paired with some salty bacon and it's a nice sandwich to satisfy your hunger. A little on the pricey side but the croissant is by far the best bang for my buck on this visit. read more

Cute breakfast lunch place in Montecito. It serves fresh French pastries and hot/cold sandwiches. I got there late morning and enjoyed a croissant, sugared brioche bun, and a egg cheese bacon brioche breakfast sandwich. The brioche breakfast sandwich was spectacular! The filling was made perfectly, eggs cooked soft and creamy- all served on a fluffy buttery brioche bun. I could eat 10 of those! Sadly the pastries wasn't to my liking. Both the brioche bun and croissant was dry and had a staleness to them. Disappointing. read more

Truly the best omelette I've ever had in my life, plus the crème filled donut was insanely yummy too!

Best cafe and bakery in Santa Barbara. I went on a Saturday around noon and there was plenty of indoor seating inside the small cafe. The owners are very very friendly and kind, adding to the small Mom/pop atmosphere. I ordered the croque madam which was the perfect combination of cheese, ham and eggs on a soft brioche bread- best croque madam I've had in the US. I also brought home the raspberry chocolate almond bread pudding- heated up it was so fantastic. The melted chocolate mixed with the intermittent raspberries and almonds was perfect. I highly recommend this cafe, with friends or alone, it's a perfect Santa Barbara region gem!! read more

This place is a gem! Their pastries are divine and their coffee, perfection. We got their Bostock Almond Brioche which was the best almond pastry I have ever had. It was decadent and sweet but not overly sweet and wonderfully moist. Coupled it with a simple latte. My husband had their berry fruit bread pudding. We also got their Avocado Toast Tartine which was also fabulous. This will be a regular spot every time we come or pass through SB. read more

you have to love Bree'osh! Fresh hot coffee or an expresso and all the lovely just baked warm pastries are wonderful. The little breakfast offerings are fantastic. The egg & salmon brioche is perfect! A handful of other breakfast options will delight an early morning meeting with your breakfast buddies, with killer omelettes too. Wonderful to meet and eat. The lunch menu is a nice surprise of sandwiches and salads. Great fresh flavors. Don't hesitate, go early avoid the crowds. Safe fantastic and super friendly. Now we can sit out in front within the adapted parking sit down upgrade area. Enjoy. read more

After I made my original post the management reached out and did everything they could to make it right. I appreciate that very much. I'm updating this review because this is a sign of what a business should be, responsive to their customers. They could have just ignored my comments or disputed them and left it at that but they care enough to engage and make it right. For those reasons I want to see them succeed. Looking forward to going back again. read more

Called order in and the person who answered was rather rude. The website ordering doesn't offer the full breakfast menu or I would have placed it that way I don't know why the employee was angry I know you're most likely they're busy but there is no need to be impolite. When I showed up there wasn't any social distancing being enforced. One employee didn't have a mask on and the other employee had a mask not covering their nose. They didn't have the Parmesan roll for the weekends but the order of eggs were great and the brioche and croissant was baked fresh. This place could use some customer service to match their food. Don't think I'll be returning read more

This is a lovely little breakfast place, situated in a quaint street in downtown Montecito, adjacent to Santa Barbara. My husband and I decided to go there for breakfast. When we arrived, There already was a long line with waiting patrons. Of course, due to COVID-19, there is only outdoor seating or take out. The line did go fast. And the busyness of the place with local customers made me feel like this place is well liked by the locals. We found ourselves a small table in the shade, and ordered an omelette to share, coffees, and two croissants. While we were still waiting in the line, the lady obviously the owner came out to announce in the cutest French accent that they were all out of specialty croissants and that they had only a few regular plain croissants left. Our food came quick, was hot, and absolutely delicious. The nice thing about the omelette was that you could choose three toppings out of seven different options. And the options given were really interesting, goat cheese, spinach, artichokes, grape tomatoes. They were not joking when they said that everything here is locally grown. You could definitely taste that.The croissants were the biggest croissants I've ever seen, and no matter did they weren't specialty, just plain like that they were absolutely scrumptious. The only tiny critical comment I would have is that when they call your name they stay inside while you are seated outside and you can't really hear them well. But when I come back to Santa Barbara, I will definitely hit this place again. read more

Had breakfast here on a Sunday morning and the food, set up and service were disappointing. Everything is packaged to go even if you are eating there. This means you're eating out of cardboard containers with plastic utensils or your pastry is in a bag. Not pleasant and not good for the environment. The staff at the counter where I placed my order was not very friendly. They are a bakery but the scone I had was very dry. My husband said he thought his almond croissant was probably a day old. There is nothing there that would cause me to return. read more

The quality was very delicious and what I expected for the area. The price is what you would expect for Santa Barbara . Though it seems everything is made from scratch and the espresso drinks have a nice design when it comes to you .it reminded me of a brunch place you would find in Europe. It is very small with limited seating and gets very busy . Best that you have someone looking out for a place to sit and someone waiting in line to order . Overall it was a nice start for our family day trip to the moxi read more
