Bright counter-serve bakery featuring desserts with gluten-free options, plus light daytime fare.

Reliable cafe with a good location. I’ve eaten the Belgian waffle twice, and enjoyed it. The texture was “hearty” without being dense; flavor-wise, I felt it was less sweet than a traditional Belgian waffle. The real maple syrup and whipped cream created a smooth complement, and the syrup saturated the waffle rather than pooling on top of it. The bacon was savory and crisp, without being overly salty. Chicken apple sausage was also seasoned well. Recommend both. Two sides of meat made a lighter brekkie for two.
I also had a soup du jour (cauliflower with bacon and hazelnut). The cauliflower base was smooth and unremarkable, but the “lardon” and hazelnuts added some texture and richness to an otherwise mild base.
Service was fast, but the counter order aspect meant getting up if you needed “extra”. Lemon water is accessible. Staff is very helpful and welcoming though. It was relatively quiet when I ate breakfast.

My favorite brunch spot in Santa Barbara! I have come here 3 times during my trip because it the quiche lorraine is so delicious! My husband, who isn’t gluten free, said it’s the best quiche he’s ever had too! The cafe latte with sea salt caramel is amazing. The blueberry muffin was one of the best I’d ever had—the blueberries were so big! The coffee cake, cheesecake, lemon bar and brownies are also top notch!

Very nice/cozy place where you order at the counter and they’ll bring food to your table. Had breakfast / brunch here and was pleasantly surprised how tasty the food was! Eggs Benedict, 2 egg breakfast with some coffee and a mimosa. Coffee comes in a large carafe (wouldve liked it at a higher temperature but still good) so can be shareable.
Prices are slightly on the high side but does have good quality food overall. Will be back!

My girlfriend has celiac and loved it. But honestly, speaking as a non-celiac person, I just found it ok. Nothing mind blowing, even though I recognize that it is above average for gluten-free restaurants/cafés. I think it is quite pricey for its value.
But if you have celiac, if you follow a gluten free diet or have gluten allergy, come here! You will be absolutely satisfied and you will love this place, as there are so many options for you and also it is 100% safe.
Staff is kind and welcoming.
French Toast: 8/10, the abun is good, as well as maple syrup and whipped cream.
Apple Chicken Sausages: 10/10. Amazing.
Berries: 9/10. Fresh and good. Reccommended.
Breakfast Sandwich: 8,5/10. Solid sandwich, a bit dry in my opinion.
Blueberry Lemon Tart: 8,5/10. It is objectively good, even though it’s not my type of pastry. I think you’ll like it if you’re into it.

This place is like heaven for people like me who can’t eat gluten! I make a point of stopping here every time I come through Santa Barbara. The food is great, the store itself is lovely, sitting inside is great and sitting outside on State Street is also beautiful. I can’t speak for the dessert, but the meals they serve are delicious. I’ve had their sandwiches and their breakfast options, and have had nothing but great experiences. I even got breakfast to-go here one time on my way to the airport so I could have gluten-free breakfast on the other side of security while waiting for my flight. Worked out great!

Errehhh ladies and gents!! If you are a gluten-free eater either by choice or allergy then this is the place for you!! All Gluten-Free Kitchen with dessert, sandwiches and entrees! Their coffees and sandwiches are delicious but I do have to say their desserts taste very neutral and bland at times. They are in a very convenient location on State Street so you can extinguish your appetite as you get your errands and shopping done! The staff is kind and the indoor seating is cozy. Stop on by and enjoy fluffy gluten free meals!

This FRENCH patisserie met my expectations! Precision made food and the tarts are amazing! I had a slice of NY lemon cheesecake and the sweetness is spot on – will definitely stop here again next time I’m driving through Santa Barbara

Delicious brunch spot that wasn’t too packed on a Sunday morning around 9:30am. Service was fast. Our food was served under 10 mins after ordering. The ambiance is very clean and aesthetic. We’d love to come here again. Place wasn’t too packed. Personally, I’d choose the Vegetable Quiche over the Huevos Rancheros.
Vegetable Quiche (loved the touch of salad): 4.5/5
Huevos Rancheros (eggs were little too runny for me): 4/5
