We happened upon this little gem after a local wine tasting and honestly we stopped in to grab a dessert for later in the evening. Not a vast selection of desserts but we did notice the sandwich offerings and couldn't resist. I had the turkey & Brie sandwich and my bf had the almost world famous Reuben sandwich. They were delicious. The salad made of butter lettuce and a vinaigrette was absolutely fabulous. Our friends ordered some ciabatta and drinks as well and loved their bread. Absolutely recommend if you are nearby and wants something fresh and yummy. read more

Food was good service was with a smile and it's a cute spot for a light lunch or breakfast. Wish it was open on Sundays but I guess that's how it goes. I would recommend a try for sure. read more

Cute little French style bakery, located in the heart of downtown Santa Ynez. Good coffee, nice croissants, and a good selection of fresh baked goods, including their housemaid granola. I tried their croissant breakfast egg sandwich with crispy bacon, & a latte and it was very good. Also sampled their ham and Gruyere cheese croissant, as well as a morning bun with cinnamon & sugar. They also offer sandwiches and assorted beverages. Casual and fun spot when in the SY Valley. read more

Holy carp this is good baked goods! We were passing through and I said to my wife: why is it that Santa Ynez has 3 bakeries that are probably better than 99% of the bakeries in San Diego? Well who cares - SD'd loss is Santa Ynez' gain. I would say the ham and cheese croissant from here is better than the one at Wayfarer in SD which is an amazing place with a truly great ham and cheese croissant. Their coffee drinks are not ideal but perhaps I should have tried one of the many spectacular coffee shops in Santa Ynez and/or Solvang such as Pony Espresso or Good Seed and left these guys to their baked goods which they truly crush. I was limited only by the size of my stomach. read more

We are locals and this is the place we get pastries when we have visitors. We order from the bakery case. I'm embarrassed to say we've never had a full breakfast or lunch here. Bakery items are all spectacular and worth every penny. Staff have always been polite and friendly. read more

Coffee and pastry and outdoor seating only. Service is super prompt and simple. Lots of safety and Covid precautions. The selections were a bit light but all were excellent choices. Great stopping location on a busy day for breakfast or light lunch. read more

Favorite breakfast/lunch spot in Santa Ynez. Delicious baguette and tuna melts! Super cute atmosphere. A regular visit for us.

My wife and I ordered a Turkey and Brie sandwich, a quiche, a lemon croissant and a slice of banana bread all to go. By the time our order was ready they had run out of the lemon croissant (there were three in the display case when I ordered). We got in the car and drove to our destination opened the bag and they had given my wife the wrong order (a wrap instead of quiche). My sandwich was good but service was bad read more

Treat yourself, and order something delicious from Amy and the gang and The Baker's Table. From the light and airy dining room to the delicious selections for breakfast and lunch, delectable pastries and desserts, there is really something for everyone here. Sit down and make yourself comfy after ordering at the pastry case, while the staff makes you feel welcome and pampered. Her freshly baked breads are to die for, they'll slice it for you while you wait. Try the fig loaf...oh man it's my FAVE! Everything is so FRESH AND TASTY...it's my favorite place to eat in the Valley. Go early enough to enjoy the specials of the day before they sell out! And be sure and check out all the lovely gift items Amy has throughout the space. Beautiful and special!! read more

I was thrilled with the reopening on Sagunto St., and took several friends up there over the last few months. Everything was great. Last time, however, we all experienced, to our horror, that everything we ordered was small. Little bitty plates. My smoked salmon plate, at $18, had about half the fish that it had last time. Never going back. Btw, if ripping off customers in a restaurant is a "thing," I'll simply serve my friends more meals at home. If I were a restaurateur following this trend, I'd be so ashamed that I'd get a job at a drugstore chain or a gas station. Can you descend any further? read more

I gave the lean to 4 because of my misstep in the beginning. Came by for a snack after exploring the area by foot for about an hour. Maybe I was tired from walking in the mildly hot weather as I walked through the exit and went straight to the display case to see what they were offering. After a quick review, I realized that there was a person waiting in line and the floor is marked with waiting spots to adhere to social distancing. I did have a mask on, but obviously I did not follow their procedure. When I stepped back, I then noticed that there is a separate entrance and exit. Oops. The place has a rustic vibe and feels cozy. I got in line and asked for suggestions and received a mostly unenthusiastic response. Maybe because I absentmindedly didn't follow procedure earlier. I chose a slice of a lemon blueberry loaf to go. Tried it back at the hotel and it was good but a bit on the dry side for me. Food: 3.5 Ambiance: 4.25 Service: 3.5 Value: 3.5 read more

Super cute. They got the shabby chic look going on. They seem to be a busy place so go with enough time unless you're grabbing to-go. It is on the pricier side but all was good tasting and presented nicely. read more

Our first time there and it's a shame that we live almost 400 miles away. For a lunch stop during our travels we had the most amazing Ruben sandwich with a side salad and perfect espresso coffees. The staff was very friendly and very efficient. Highly recommended you stop in for a bite to eat if you're anywhere near. read more

Walked here from the Chumash Casino after seeing them on Yelp. Friendly staff, delicious coffee. They have breakfast and lunch food non just coffee and bread. Everything I've tried in my couple of visits was delicious. read more

So when I first moved to SY in 2020..I went to the Bakers table several times. Their food is delicious. And I LOVE their bread! (The funky French one) however, I had an awful experience with the owner one day when I came in on my lunch break from work in my uniform. The dark, curly haired woman (the owner) abruptly stated "What the hell do you want?!" And in hindsight I should have just left. But In my shocked state- I said "lunch". (Note- I am not a sheriff's deputy, however my uniform for where I work looks similar- so not sure if she is anti PD?) I was hungry- and I had only a few moments left to grab something, so I ordered food- but I had boycotted (i went to bobs well bred if I wanted fancy bread) the restaurant until yesterday 01/07/23. The new location is great. The food is still great. I don't love that the prices are NOT posted on the chalkboard menu- but expect to pay approx. $20 a person for a breakfast item and a coffee. It's pricey for what it is. It remains to be seen if I ever go back in any sort of uniform how I will be treated. And if I get the same treatment from the owner as I did in 2020, I won't be as quiet as I was about it. That sort of behavior is unacceptable, regardless if you personally support law enforcement or not. The place gets three stars. A star was taken for the bad experience in 2020 A star was taken for the price of the food and the lack of visible pricing on the menu. Service is okay but nothing to rave about. read more

I love The Baker's Table! The location is great, parking is easy, and the staff are so nice. Whether picking up pastries/bread to go or dining in, you won't be disappointed. It's a great place for breakfast and meeting up with friends, or even taking guests visiting from out of town. Definitely a must go to if you haven't been yet! The prices are affordable and they have several options of food, so there's something for everyone. read more

I am not a restaurant critic. I just pretend to be one on Yelp. ;). You could just say Chocolate Espresso Cookies and be worthy of giving TBT a 5. It's more than that though. The owner, Amy, is a rockstar and she has created an amazing artisan bakery. I have not been here since they expanded the dining area and I was very impressed. Very open area now. I had their omelette with bacon, cheddar, mushrooms and avocado. It was HUGE! It was delicious too! Did I mention the CHOCOLATE ESPRESSO COOKIES?!? Wow! No grumpy people upstairs were disturbed while I was there. Unfortunately... read more

The food is good but they have THE WORST customer service . They lost our order and could not have been less concerned about taking care of us. read more

Place is really cute, easy parking, a lot of social distancing measures and safety protocols, everyone masked. Clean restroom. We got the tuna melt and the turkey brie sandwiches, each came with simple side salads, all very straightforward and tasty. We went on a Thursday during lunchtime and there were 4-5 people in line ahead of us. Staff was a little flustered while I was there - they might have been understaffed and it appeared that customers had a lot of questions/requests. But they were friendly when I got to the counter to order and thanked me for being patient, which was nice. Food took about 15 minutes. They have tables on a covered porch, which looked cute, but we don't feel super comfortable eating that closely to others, so we just went 2 minutes down the road to the local park and had our food at a shady picnic table, which was lovely. read more

I think the high reviews must be for the baked goods. We went to The Baker's Table for lunch upon arriving in Santa Ynez. Close to 2pm (30 minutes before closing), they were out of several sandwiches. I got the very last turkey and brie and my bf had to get the tuna nicoise. The sandwiches were fine, but nothing special and for $30+ not really worth it. I do like that it was warm and toasted and the cheese was melted.. making it almost like a panini.. but it was just turkey, chese, and brie. My bf's open faced tuna was really just a pile of tuna.. he didn't even eat the slice of bread. Don't get me wrong, we were totally satisfied with our meal, it was just wasn't anything special despite the prices. Something to note: this is a very conservative spot. When we walked in, I immediately felt uncomfortable. I don't know what it was about us, but I could feel the eyes on us the whole time that we were there. I don't know if it's because I'm Asian, or because my bf's not, or because I was wearing not-so-conservative cut off shorts, but wow. I thought I was maybe being overly paranoid but as soon as we left, my bf made a comment about how uncomfortable he felt in there. I don't know if it just happened to be the clientele the day that we were there (which they can't do anything about) but be forewarned. read more

This recently renovated café/coffee shop was already a hit with Locals and visitors alike. Now, they have added much needed space to handle the influx of customers. Recently, my monthly lunch group visited this restaurant. We were very pleased not only with the food but the great new space. It is light and bright inside with a nice view. We each had something different. I had the almost Reuben sandwich with salad. My friends had the cobb salad and the ham panini. Every item was delicious. We usually have their wonderful quiche but it was sold out. You can't go wrong with this lovely place whether you choose the wonderful baked goods or other items on the menu. All are Delish! read more

Never disappoints. Always great. We come here whenever we're in the area. The ham and Guyer cheese croissant is the best! Last time we came here, we discovered they have moved to 3570 Segundo St. Attached is a picture of the new location FYI. read more

Simply deliciously fresh real food. No pretense! Good find , just wish they served the breakfast items till 2:00.

A Santa Ynez MUST TRY!!! The Baker's Table has some of the best pastries I have ever tried (I am a baker myself and have tried A LOT!) Everything is made so thoughtfully and with such quality. Some of my favorite things would have to be their lemon ginger scone, carrot cake, lemon tart, and brownie cookie. I love that they change it up and do seasonal pastries. It is also a wonderful spot for breakfast! I always get their breakfast croissant sandwich that has scrambled eggs & cheese on a fresh buttery croissant with bacon. It's simply amazing. I was pregnant when we first moved to the Valley and couldn't wait to try their other breakfast sandwich that has prosciutto and a runny egg on it- oh my god, it is SO ridiculously good. The Baker's Table also has really good coffee/espresso. Even the decaf! I get iced decaf mochas, and it is one of my favorite decaf mochas I have ever had. They also have amazing bread they make in house, and thankfully even sell it at local grocery stores. So make sure to grab loaf of sourdough for your freezer! The interior is adorable, the food is amazing, and the pastries are just incredible- my family is always stumped why their isn't a line out the door here everyday like at Bob's Well Bread! (If you had to pick between the two- the Baker's Table is MUCH better!) This is such a charming local spot, and a definite must try. :) read more

I have never had better service than when I went to Bakers Table. I had recently moved to the valley and was looking for place to eat with a few of my girlfriends. We ended up going to Bakers Table where we met our server Sebatian, He was so kind and polite. He kept tabs on us at all times, and always kept our coffees full. He made sure we were enjoying our food, and was waiting on us hand and foot. Even when though it was very busy, he always made sure we were enjoying our food. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Wonderful bread and baked items. I have not tried their sandwiches, but they look great!

Always a pleasure to stop in to Bakers Table. Amy just does an incredible job with her menus. We had a wonderful lunch with paninis. The bread was to die for. Amy's staff is always so personable as is Amy herself. Welcoming and joyful she is a pleasure to see every time we come up to the valley. Thanks Amy!!! read more

I think the Bakers' Table is way over priced for a restaurant where you queue up in a line to order! All of the staff were pleasant. We both had a breakfast burrito. It was just scrambled eggs, shredded cheese, and cut up sausage links rolled into a very large flour tortilla. It may have had finely shredded hashed browns but I could not tell. The burrito had no real distinct flavor, and was just OK. The burrito was served with a side of fresh fruit. The fruit consisted of blueberries, cut up cantaloupe and pineapple. The fruit was ripe like it should be and tasted good. Each burrito with fruit was $16. I thought with that price I was at an airport. If I had not spent 10 minutes waiting in line I would have left. Oh and no prices were posted on the menu board. They did have a paper menu that may have had prices on it but it was out of reach at the counter. A positive note though, was we bought a cinnamon roll and a flourless chocolate cake to eat later and both were priced right and delicious. I would not buy breakfast here again but would come back for their baked goods. read more

The new location on Sagunto opened today! Just stopped by to check out the beautiful new space. If you're living in or visiting Santa Ynez Valley and have a clue, you will definitely visit the new edition of this SY classic. BTW this is where the fantastic baked goods at your favorite area restaurant come from. Best croissants, cookies and muffins around. Sandwiches and salads are great. And...maybe even spot a celebrity or two while you enjoy great service and ANYTHING they make with chocolate. Cooking fanatics: if you peek through the windows on the swinging doors at the back, you'll see their awesome state of the art bakery and kitchen at work. When our friends or family visit, we always recommend this friendly venue for breakfast/brunch/lunch, and they are never disappointed! read more

The cinnamon croissant is by far the best croissant I've ever had! My husband loves the chocolate croissant. If you plan on getting a croissant from here, I would suggest to go early! A couple of times we've gone after 10am and the ones we like were all gone :( They're sourdough bread is also delicious. When they're closed or all out, thankfully we're able to get it at El Rancho Market read more
