This bagel shop operates in a single room looking house, it's very quaint and decorated very cozily inside. They have a bathroom for customers and plenty of outdoor seating, as the inside of the restaurant is on the smaller side. The bagels here are incredible! Very soft and pillowy textures with lots of flavor. I love the unique flavors for both the bagels and the cream cheeses. It was so fun and delicious getting to try them. Ikura - 10/5, the soy sauce-cured ikura was some of the best I've ever had! It paired so well with the tobiko cream cheese and furikake bagel. The pickled onions were a great touch. I love this flavor combination, it was an umami bomb! Heirloom tomato - 5/5, paired this with the garlic herb cream cheese and jalapeño cheddar bagel. This is such a classic summer seasonal bagel, and I loved the chives on top of the heirloom tomatoes. Very delicate and delicious flavors. Lox - 3/5, a decent lox bagel but underwhelming in comparison to the other options and flavors available. The gravlax lacked flavor, and I felt like it was undersalted during the curing process. Pinoy Palmer- 5/5, a delicious mango iced tea with calamansi juice. I thought this was a fun Filipino twist on the drink. I would have liked a bit more calamansi juice to make it brighter and sweeter, but it was still definitely tasty! Caramelized banana latte - 5/5, delicious sweet coffee with a hint of banana flavor. I personally love banana so I wouldn't mind it being stronger, but this way anyone can its subtlety.

There is both indoor and outdoor seating, and I believe the shop could benefit from having a PA system/secondary pickup window to announce orders, so the interior doesn't become too crowded with the long line carrying up the stairs. There's only one way in and out by the looks of it. Interestingly on this visit, there were numerous people with the same name picking up similar orders (my drink included, which was initially taken by the other Christina, but we worked it out) - it may be beneficial to announce orders by number instead of name in the future. I ordered the Ikura special on a furikake (seaweed and sesame) bagel with tobiko cream cheese. Exquisite combo if you're looking for a reminiscence of Japanese flavors on a very American dish. Highly recommend. I also ordered the Pinoy Palmer which includes kalamansi juice (a tart, sweet citrus) mixed with mango black tea. I think the ratio could use more kalamansi personally.

Absolutely great bagel, friendly service, lots of options…read more I ordered the Montecito, which is definitely pricey but it is really delicious. I wouldn't order again because of the price. We sat outside, they brought our orders out to us. Very busy, lots of foot and parking lot traffic on Saturday morning. I have come back and bought the day old bagels, which were great, I love the price for those and they freeze well. Another time I ordered an Jalapeno & Cheese Bagel with Salmon cream cheese, it was super good.

Was looking for a bagel spot in Santa Barbara before heading back to the Valley and on our drive…read moreover to Mother Dough, we realized all they really had were bougie bagels. If that's your vibe, go there. I was just looking for a classic bacon, egg, and cheese, so luckily we found Jack's. When you walk in, it feels just like an old school neighborhood donut shop, except they're serving bagels and coffee. My bacon, egg, and cheese was delicious. I ordered it on a jalapeño cheddar bagel and it hit the spot. For a $7 bagel, this was fantastic. Filling, flavorful, and the schmear was on point. My wife, on the other hand, ordered the bagel and lox. This was a bit of a letdown. The cream cheese was delicious and the sesame bagel itself was great, but it was definitely lacking the lox. Truthfully, it felt more like a cream cheese bagel with just a little bit of salmon. That said, considering the price, it honestly makes sense. Not trying to take anything away from the place because overall it was great. The service was super friendly, attentive, and just easygoing. You could definitely tell they have regulars who come in every day because it felt like one big family in there. Last but not least, the black coffee was surprisingly fresh and bold. Nothing fancy, just a really solid cup of coffee. Would I come here again? Definitely. Anytime I'm in Santa Barbara, I'd happily stop by again.

His didn't arrive until about 10-15 minutes later, and they forgot the bagel entirely. The server dropped the food off and disappeared. His potatoes were completely raw, the food was barely warm, and the corned beef hash had zero crisp to it. He took one bite and spit it out. We sat there waiting forever just to tell someone because no server ever checked back. Eventually another employee dropped off the missing bagel and immediately ran off again. My husband finally had to walk inside himself to tell them the food was cold and undercooked. A few minutes later they brought the same plate back out, clearly just microwaved. The eggs were now rubber, the hash was still awful, and the potatoes were still terrible. He went back inside a second time and told them to forget it and just charge us for the bagel, coffee, and my breakfast. Even getting the check took another 20 minutes. What's most frustrating is that nobody seemed to care. No apology, no urgency, no effort to fix anything properly. My breakfast was mediocre at best. The eggs and bacon were fine, but the French toast was cold and looked like plain toast, and they covered the potatoes in cheese without mentioning it. After reading other recent reviews, it's clear this wasn't just a one-off bad day. The common theme seems to be cold food, long waits, inattentive service, and management/staff who simply don't care. This place is overpriced, overrated, and unfortunately living off its past reputation. Maybe just stick with bagels.

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.
