Best donut spot in SB!…read more I come in to to town a lot to try all the good food spots and this is my favorite breakfast. Many great options like the blueberry donut or breakfast sandwich (amazing bacon). Coffee is spot on too, I really like the cold brew. If you find yourself in the area definitely check out Lily's!

I've been hearing about Lily's for a while and have seen so many photos on their Instagram that I…read morewas dying to try them, but living in Newport Beach, I never had the chance. This past weekend we were camping outside of Santa Ynez and made a quick stop at the Santa Barbara Public Market for lunch. We ordered a variety of donuts, cut them up so everyone could try each one, and they honestly exceeded my expectations. Every single one was incredible. The woman who helped us was super patient, friendly, and gave us great recommendations. Their cold brew was excellent too. Definitely a 10/10 experience, and I'll be back the next time I'm up that way.

I've tried them all. Eller's has the best donuts in Santa Barbara. May not be as fancy as H&P but…read morethey sure do taste better. The flavors are consistent and the donuts are not greasy and they're very moist.

Now these are donuts done right. Having tried their maple round and chocolate sprinkles cake donut,…read moreI instantly became a fan. Thanks go to my SB local coworker who bought the office Eller's donuts. They're not too greasy, not too dense, yet not too airy. Almost as if I'm Goldie Locks and I found the donuts that are "just right." If these were closer I'd be in trouble, as I would want one of these on the regular. That's this critic's review, until next time, I'll be eating.

We still absolutely love this place. S'more was good But…read moreI'm not a huge chocolate fan. Loved the marshmallow and graham cracker.

I was in Santa Barbara for the fourth and I have had this place on my bookmarks list. I was super…read moreexcited that I got to try it finally. My husband and I found parking right away on the street so that was already a great sign. Especially in SB. We went a little before 12 and there wasn't a lot of people. I got the strawberry milkshake donut and the apple fritter. My daughters devoured the strawberry milkshake one. I have tried a lot of different apple fritter donuts and this one wasn't my favorite. It wasn't a strong apple taste and the donut seems too fluffy for an apple fritter. But the WINNER was the salted brown butter latte. It was perfection. I loved everything about it. I will definitely be back for the coffee and may try some other donuts.

I still can't get over how amazing this spot was! My mother recently had an incident at work so…read moreshe's been set to bed rest for the past couple days. The one thing she has been craving are their breakfast croissant sandwiches. It was absolutely packed on a Sunday morning and I totally understand the hype. The staff are so nice, making sure each order is taken as quickly as possible, and they offer some of my favorite quick breakfast options in Santa Barbara. I'll be here in the very near future!

There are many options to choose from such as bacon, chorizo, spinach, and no meat. You have many coffee and pastry options to choose from as well. Everyone is super nice and friendly.

Got a croissant here. It did not taste like a croissant at all. Service is good, and it looked like…read morethey had a lot of different baked goods. Might go back to try other things, but was definitely disappointed by the croissant. A big plus- the croissant was just $1.5 (unheard of in California!)

I randomly ordered delivery from here because I woke up on a Sunday morning with a big donut…read morecraving (as I often do LOL). Ordered coffee and an assortment of donuts to try, including the Glazed, Sugar, a Vanilla Concha, Donut Holes, a Crumb Donut, etc. They threw in an extra Sugar Donut and many more donut holes which was very much appreciated. The donuts weren't anything out of the ordinary, but they were decently good. They tasted fresh, and weren't overly oily or sweet. The Concha was probably my favorite. It is a Mexican bakery after all, and they specialize in these.

This is a busy coffee house where patrons sit, talk, read, stay on their laptops, and relax. It's a…read moregood kind of busy, the kind that says it's a place where you want to just settle in and sip your coffee. First time to come here was challenging to park, but not a big deal, there's some street parking. Came in and was hoping to try a pastry.... Not today, I guess everything sells out before 2pm haha. I'll have to come earlier next time. Decided to try a Mayan mocha. Wasn't sure what it was, but was told it's like a Mexican hot chocolate- I'm sold. Once I took the first sip, the rich coffee and chocolate was so delicious. I'm hooked. I would definitely come back for this any day. I recommend it! Thank you for the friendly service and flavorful Coffee!

How have I lived here for six years and NEVER reviewed my beloved Java Station?? Oh my lanta, this…read moreplace is a gem in the little area of Noleta. Bekah, the owner, is sunshine in human form with a dash of sass, who truly cares about her community. Not only that, she personally smokes the meats that feature in the sandwiches. When I tell you the smoked turkey sandwich is the best turkey sandwich in all of Santa Barbara? I may be marginally biased but I am speaking with my full chest: THE SMOKED TURKEY SANDWICH IS THE BEST IN ALL OF SANTA BARBARA!!! The tri-tip quesadilla is indulgent and full of flavor. The breakfast tacos are perfection. And the coffee selection is incredible. Java Station uses ethical blends and has lattes that rival any chain. Sometimes I just say "I need something not too sweet that'll wake me up" and she whips me up a magic potion. And all of her staff are equally talented. PLUS, Java Station has regular after hours entertainment. Expect a packed house for excellent comedy, among other events. Wine and beer offered for these too, which makes it almost like a cool speakeasy. In short, Java Station is a hidden gem that shouldn't be so hidden. I hope it's around for a good long time!
