    From the phone call to picking up my tacos, my entire experience was absolutely perfect. This spot has become my new Taco Tuesday tradition! Calling in my order, I was greeted by the sweetest person who made sure my order was exactly what I wanted and asked if I wanted sliced avocado in each taco to which I said of course! It took no time at all for everything to be ready and I had to scoop up a Jamaica as well. The asada and adobada were perfectly cooked. I'm a big fan of tacos with one tortilla and they were an absolutely packed with fixings. I can't wait for next Tuesday!

    Tucked away by tue airport this place a is gem. They have a variety of pan dulce to choose from as well as different Mexican breakfast and lunch options. They offer breakfast all day. They have you staple items such as tacos, burritos and tortas, as well as tamales. The tamales es silicosis and flavorful and not dry. The breakfast burrito was delicious but only complaint that more meat -protein is needed. Their pan concha delicious and have both smaller and bigger size options. The service is extremely friendly and personable. This place is small and more for order and quick pick up.

    One of the most expensive places for Mexican food in Santa Barbara, especially considering it is takeout only. Location is strange. I never would have found it just driving by. Saw reviews online and sought it out. A number of people were outside waiting for the orders. I placed an order quickly and opted to just order one taco to try their food for the first time. Got a pork taco. It was served on a paper plate with a few radish slices, two lemon wedges and a condiment container with very water green hot chile hot sauce. One tortilla. Flavor was good but I have had better. There was cilantro (no flavor) and the pork meat was fine but nothing special. It was better than anything other tacos I have had in the county...though pricier. Service was good though there is no place to dine here.

    Soft drink options.

    I discovered this bakery while traveling through the town. They offer several great options for sandwiches, burritos, and others. The service is fast and friendly, and everyone is super friendly. They don't have any indoor seating, but there are a few benches outside the store. Hit them up if you are in town!

    This is the best hole in the wall Mexican place in Goleta, and possibly, the Santa Barbara area. The workers here are always so friendly. The prices are good, the portions are large, and the flavors are fire. The name isn't fully appropriate; while they have baked goods, it's the savory things that are the stars. Can't go wrong with their burritos or specials.

    Avocado egg and bacon burrito, it also has cheese with mild green salsa.

    I was looking for a place to eat.And I found this little bakery. I was not really familiar with the area, but I thought I'd give it a chance. I'm so glad I did, I order an avocado egg burrito she offered adding bacon. I accepted and asked for extra crispy bacon. I was tempted by the pastries because they looked delicious. I ordered champurado and three tamales. Everything is really good. Nice portions and good flavor. Salsa was perfect. It looked clean and they are very friendly as I was acknowledged immediately. They do have some signage on a stand outfront, showing daily specials that they offer. They also have coffee for sale, sodas and chips. So if you've never been to this little place give them a try.

    Nice bakery selection

    Overall, this was a great experience. The staff was very friendly. The facility is in an industrial area, but brings community together. The breakfast burrito was really good however could use some additional seasoning. But that could just be my preference so please give it a try. These salsa were good. The red salsa does have a little bit of a kick, and the green salsa has a hint of sweetness to it.

    Excellent service. A bit pricey but that's Santa Barbara. You would think they'd cater to the locals. This stuff is fresh, elevated and made authentically. I spent a lot of money to impress the office staff. I got burritos, tortas, tamales, bread and atole. Too bad it was soooooo spicy, we had difficulty eating. Even the most seasoned pro, regretted the red salsa. I'm a lightweight, I didn't think each item would be that spicy. I mean a torta, they soaked it with spice. I couldn't even pick it out. The best was the chorizo burrito, but maybe it's because it's the only thing we could taste. 0 for the spice. The things we could eat were very good. Watch out for this one.

    I came to this place, not knowing what to expect given that Mexican pan dulce is a hit or miss in California. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I bit into the soft, warm and buttery texture of each pan dulce I purchased. I was not disappointed. The service was actually really friendly and pleasant. The ambience is best described as traditional roots that satisfies the palettes of both the older/younger generation.

    Machaca Burrito

    The machaca con huevos burrito is a blessing to start the day. Doesn't need avocado, and stays hot longer without. The lady taking orders is super nice and always there. My friend likes the croissant sandwich best but I'm telling you the machaca con huevos burrito never disappoints. I highly recommend. No seating and kitchen takes about 3-5 minutes usually even when busy. You can take it to Goleta pier/beach for a great meal and view.

    Enjoyed a wonderful lunch here today! Welcomed in by Ms. Juanita and Ms. Erica. So warm and gracious! This isn't just a bakery, but full breakfast and lunch items. I went with the trip tip sandwich, which was loaded with goodness!! Put this on your next lunch outing. Better yet, pick up a box of baked goods for your next family or work event!! Thank you ladies! Enjoyed the visit and delicious lunch!!

We got here Friday around 12n and there were a dozen high schoolers (from next door) in line. We got here on Sunday at 9:35am (they opened at 9:30) and there were approximately 20-24 people in line. I asked a woman who was just coming out and she said she got there at 8:45a and was first in line (45 minutes before opening)! We had wine-tasting in Los Olivas to attend so we timed our return for just-before-closing (4pm). We pulled in at 3:57pm and raced to the front door just as the manager was about to hang a "closed" sign up! On both days we ordered the black sesame matcha. These are $7 and only 8 oz but heavenly. They were out of most all food items on Sunday but on Friday I got a couple of their famed mochi donuts ($4). Imagine a donut (as you can see from the picture, they are round but slender with "knobs") but with a chewy mochi-like texture. Between their unique flavor combos and that amazing texture, these are worth the wait (and I generally never eat donuts because of their complete lack of nutritional value)! But that matcha -- they hand-pestle finish all of their matchas! There's a large window (albeit with a thinly weaved curtain drawn) where you can watch the kitchen in action). The black sesame cream is super thick and layered on the bottom first. The drink comes with a long (7 inch) wooden spoon and you are kindly instructed to draw that spoon out slowly and sample the sweet cream coated in matcha, before ultimately stirring the drink thoroughly. The experience along with the very-lightly-sweetened, softly nutty/sesame concoction are divine... and, yes, the whole reason we raced back on our last day in SB to grab one more taste.

    overall: I like the creativity of their drinks so if I'm in the area I'll def be back to try their…read moreother drinks. ube matcha cream top (4/5): I think individually the components were good but when i drank it all together the ube overpowered the matcha. raspberry espresso cloud (3.5/5): Im not a big fan of sour things and coffee that has a sour taste to it so I personally didn't like this combo very much. I couldn't tell if the sourness was coming from the raspberry cream top or the coffee but it kind of tasted like it was coming from both together. apple jasmine mochi donut (4/5): I liked their mochi donuts but it is on the sweeter end. service: we went on a saturday around opening and they already had a line out the door. i think we were in line for around 30-45 minutes. but once we ordered we did get our drinks in a decent time. i like how they do offer free cold bottled water and umbrellas. seating: there is some table and bar seating available inside and some tables outside as well bathroom: one bathroom available and it is kept pretty clean. parking: super easy parking in a big parking lot for the plaza they are located in.

Personally, I'm partial to the Goleta location since it offers a small breakfast and lunch menu My go-tos are the Spring Greens Sandwich, Trout Toast, and the Farmer's Market Frittata, which always feels fresh and seasonal. I'm also mildly obsessed with their Olive Rosemary Focaccia and the jalapeño basil cashew spread. Honestly, I'd put that spread on just about anything. Service is counter style with friendly staff, and there's a beautiful glass case showcasing the day's dishes and fresh breads. I love a good visual moment when deciding what to order, and this place definitely delivers. Just note that popular items can sell out, so going earlier is better. Their bread menu changes depending on the season and produce availability, which keeps things interesting. You'll also find gluten-free options, sweets, and dry goods if you want to take a little something home. The patio is cute and sun-filled, perfect for lingering with coffee and a pastry. Parking is street parking only, but on weekdays there's usually ample neighborhood parking nearby. Just note they're closed Sundays and Mondays, so plan your carb pilgrimage accordingly.

Everything they have there is amazing, I've gotten their other sourdough and their really good but my favorite is the charcoal. The service is great as well, their oat cookie staff are knowledgeable and kind, feel welcomed. The ambience is cozy, clean and I guess my only issue here is parking which is not their fault. It's just the way it is, can be very difficult to find parking but outside of that I would fully recommend oat bakery. I've gone to all three locations , the one in downtown on Hailey is their main facility which you'll find their focaccia olive bread which tastes amazing there, their montecito one is great as well and it's much easier to find parking as it's located near the Vons plaza on coast village road.

There is a wide selection of donuts (including fun seasonal varieties) and the donuts are fresh (and almost fully stocked) no matter what time I buy them (even in the evening).

I've had some of the seasonal donuts but my favorites are the Tiger tail (glazed twist with chocolate behind the counter) and the apple fritter. I also appreciate that the prices are reasonable. Been to some places where the "artisanal" donuts are more than $4 and not worth it. The most that I'm paid for a donut (my giant apple fritter that I can eat for days) is $3.95. Again, my favorite donut place and I am a donut monster.
