16 Best Bakeries near Isla Vista

“Nice friendly people especially early in the morning. And the smell of coffee and donuts incredible“

“We made a weekend trip from Miami to Santa Barbara mostly just to visit Kin lol. I had seen them on socials and reddit and I'm a sucker for great food and an even better experience. Kin is such a special place. Yes, the line is long but it is oh so worth it. We literally visited every day, twice a day over the long weekend and tried almost every drink and baked treat on the menu LOL. Can't go wrong with anything. Everyday I had a new favorite, it's THAT GOOD. The coconut cloud matcha, and pandan matcha are the best I've ever had. The cookie butter cream top is also stellar. The donuts speak for themselves, but trust me, the flavors taste just as good as they sound reading them on a menu. So thankful we got to try Kin and thank you a million times over to the staff and the amazing owner. I don't know how they do it but they manage to still be warm and friendly even with how insanely busy they are non-stop. For anyone complaining about the lines or prices, this is prob not your vibe. Those of us who get it, 'get it.' I really hope to be able to come back and visit in the future. I wish sooooo much success for this team and hope Kin sticks around and expands (hopefully to Miami lol)“

“These cakes are marvelous! We get the little ones and split them 4 ways. Plenty of energy to keep you going for a while. Recently we used the little cakes from the Goleta store for a fundraiser for a school sports team. The owner seamlessly and timely prepared nearly 400 cakes. All of the staff was super helpful and wonderful to work with. Thank you!“

“Vegetarian options: It’s cookies ? so they aren’t going to put meat in them

Parking: There is plenty of parking

Wheelchair accessibility: It’s wheelchair accessible by putting the cash register near the floor so people can reach it also they can see the cookies from their chair also the door doesn’t have a step“

“We were celebrating our anniversary and wanted to stay on property so chose The Bistro. From start to finish, everything about our experience was absolutely incredible. The service was warm and attentive, the ambiance was just right, and every dish was beautifully prepared and full of flavor. We had the seabass and beet salad, both of which were perfectly executed. The chef and team ensure you have a wonderful experience with delicious food and impeccable service. Whether a special occasion or a just looking for a great meal, go to The Bistro, you won't be disappointed.“
