I ordered their torta cubana and chorizo burrito to go and I was blown away! Their chorizo was perfectly cooked and paired well with the added avocado and salsa. The torta cubana had an amazing balance of milanesa, jamon, cheese, bacon, avocado, and fried egg! If you haven't had the chance to stop by here, you're missing out!

*Cristino's Bakery is a local gem!*…read more While everything I've tried here is top-tier, there's a clear hierarchy of deliciousness: The salsa: Fresh, flavorful, and has the perfect kick. The cheesecake! Absolutely delightful--rich, creamy, and clearly made with care. But let's talk about the real reason to visit: *The Breakfast Burritos.* Honestly, these are the star of the show. I'm calling it now--Cristino's has the *best breakfast burritos in all of Santa Barbara County.* They are perfectly rolled, packed with flavor, and hit the spot every single time. If you haven't been here yet, you're missing out!

The first time I went to Kin it was for the donuts. I watched as everyone was leaving with drinks…read more I have never been one to go to a coffee shop or tea shop for drinks. The next time I tried the Suuk (mugwort). What a culinary delight. Next time it was Hojicha. I am now a regular! I have worked my way to Strawberry Rose Matcha. The best!!!!! It isn't just the food. When you walk in you feel welcomed. The vibe is relaxed with wonderful music. All this comes together with the most incredible team. You talk with strangers while sitting on the bench. I now have my "Kin Friends". In today's world it is such an unexpected experience. Kudos to Tommy & Will for giving us such a wonderful place to just go unwind and enjoy their wonderful creations.

BEST matcha bake shop in Santa Barbara!…read more The line out the door speaks volumes, it's absolutely worth the wait. My friends and I wanted a little pick-me-up on a Sunday afternoon, and I'm so glad we drove 20 minutes out to give this place a try! Not only was the matcha delightful, but they also gifted us a complimentary donut for my bachelorette weekend. It was perfectly sweet, which I loved because I'm not a fan of overly dense or super sweet treats. The service was incredibly kind. Even while dealing with so many customers in one day, they greeted everyone with a smile and such a welcoming attitude. The place is also really clean and well-kept. This spot will definitely be added to my go-to list whenever I'm in Santa Barbara!

You order at the counter and a staff member will bring you your items. We ordered 2 breakfast items and cappuccino, the latter which was good nothing fancy. My friend ordered the Classic with bacon. She said it was really good and liked the grilled toast. I had KC''s Sunnyside which I really enjoyed. The kale and potato combo with goat cheese was delicious. My 2 complaints would be the lack of parking and limited indoor seating. It was drizzling and all the inside tables of which there are few were taken. A couple was kind enough to let us sit with them. This is not a good place for a large party (more than 4).

Oat Bakery is a Scandinavian-owned gem with three locations around Santa Barbara: downtown SB, Old…read moreTown Goleta, and Montecito inside the Montecito Country Mart. 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.

I ordered the fruit loops, animal cracker, and chocolate chip pillow. Service was great and very friendly. Inside there is not much seating unless you arrive early as there are lots of college students inside but I wanted my donuts to go so it worked out. My favorite was animal cracker and chocolate chip pillow. Not overly sweet or too much chocolate flavor overpowering. I also ordered a hot cocoa and a strawberry matcha. The hot cocoa was delicious. The strawberry matcha I would pass on because the milk overpowered the matcha and the strawberry flavor was lacking as well. Highly recommend the donuts!

The basics are all there but they have so many speciality donuts and I wanted to try them all! Creme brûlée, spring themed donuts of various shapes and flavors, and other delicious concoctions.

Favorites - creme brulee donut, Boston creme (vanilla donut with creme inside and chocolate frosting), spring "nest" with coconut and creme inside, and the glazed twist (simple but light and fluffy with a vanilla touched glaze). Also, grabbed a coffee and it was good. Need to buy a bag to take home next time.
