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.

Hands down the best donut place in Santa Barbara. I visit SB once a month and this is a place that…read moreI head to each time. 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 also love the hearty drip coffee. It's perfect to balance my sweet, scrumptious donut. 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.

The staff was friendly, although the donut selection was a little picked over when we arrived. My chocolate glazed donut was delicious, and they still had several specialty donuts to choose from. My only complaint was seeing a fly inside the donut display case, which was definitely a turn off Overall, I liked the vibe, the 24 hour convenience, and my donut. I'd give them another try hopefully with a fuller and fly-free display case next time. This place is located in a shopping center near Target with plenty of seating inside, including a lounge style area that seems perfect for college students looking for a place to study or hang out.

I had family in town this weekend and wasn't sure if Sunday breakfast at 9:30 in Goleta with a large group would work well, but it was great! The manager and his staff were incredible, truly outstanding service. I don't generally notice service much at restaurants unless it's really bad, but today was so impressive I had to review. Manager jumped in immediately to put tables together (there is a lot of seating now by the Thai place), made good food recommendations, when one of our large party arrived after the rest of us they got his order in immediately so his food arrived with ours (even though there was a long line), all the food came quickly and was beautifully plated. Staff checked on us multiple times and manager suggested and took a nice family group photo. I hope he and the staff are well compensated because they were working so hard, SO friendly, really great at their jobs, and made our morning!
