Flavored Cream Cheese
The International
Irish Special

“I am a Bagel Cafe girl until I die. I come with my roommate at least once a week and it has got to the point where the workers memorize our coffee order! The workers are nice, and not to mention, absolutely gorgeous. With how busy the cafe gets, the service is great and the food is always bomb. My order consists of either the irish special or the international without onion and an iced coffee with whole milk and extra vanilla and it NEVER FAILS. I have also tried a slammin salmon and it really does well on a hot day. Overall, this place deserves all the love and kindness and i can’t wait to eat here for the rest of my time at UCSB!“

“This is the place. Honestly I refuse to get coffee (especially espresso drinks) almost anywhere else now because Handlebar has spoiled me on quality. I'm a coffee snob now, in the best way. I like this location the most; everyone is really friendly, the vibes are great. Love!“

“Wonderful first experience. Pastries looked beautiful and tasted amazing. I had a kouign-amann that was buttery, sweet, and beautifully layered. I also had a beignet that was perfectly and evenly filled with a light passionfruit cream. The reception from the staff was so kind and welcoming. They must've realized it was my first time there because they gifted me a baguette to take home too!! Great customer service and attention to detail. Will be back very soon!“

Renaud's Patisserie & Bistro Bistros • $$
3315 State St, Santa Barbara - 7.35 miles

Customers` Favorites

Lemon Meringue Tart
Almond Croissant
Chocolate Eclair
Quiche Lorraine
Morning Bun

“This is one of my favorite breakfast restaurants in Santa Barbara. Renauds is a patisserie in the old style with American breakfast options, translated. So the American breakfast comes with properly poached eggs and Brioche toast, the quiche crust is proper butter crust, and the baked goods are consistently excellent. 2/3 of seating is outdoors, but web based ordering lowers line levels even at peak hours.Kid-friendliness: Small tables and somewhat close seating makes child maintenance a bit difficult when Harry's is open. Early morning, that space is kid friendly.“

“A gem. We discovered it due to staying at the BW next door (which is also lovely). Good people and good food. Has its own charm; check out the finches and the patio room. We enjoyed every thing we ate here over four days. Check it out. Plenty of non-dairy choices.“

“BEST breakfast and lunch in SB!! Great location, excellent service and truly amazing food. We go there every time we are in SB and it is a regular thing for my family. Everything on the breakfast menu is crave worthy and good, strong coffee. My dad swears the French dip is the best sandwich in town. It is well worth your time if you are hungry for excellent food at a great price. Mulligans should be on the top of your must try list.“

Building 532, University of California, Santa Barbara, Ocean Rd, Santa Barbara - 0.83 miles

“Underrated and less crowded than the Arbor. Apparently they used to have amazing grilled cheese, but I haven't seen them selling grilled cheese since covid. They have some pretty good lunch options. They close earlier than expected, so make sure they're open if you're planning to stop by in the afternoon.“

“Stopped here for a quick bite before we continued on the way to cemetery The breakfast croissant for me, and fried breakfast sandwich, for my husband, were good. First time here. We've been to Harry's next door and thought we were going to eat there but found out Harry's didn't open until 11am. We were an hour too early. But decided to go into Renaud's. We will be back.“
