Small bakery with breads, cookies and other baked goods. Loved the Danish breakfast.

Looking for a loaf of sourdough for a camping trip, my best friend and I stumbled into Oat Bakery at the end of their day. We were greeted by 3 smiling girls cleaning up for the day. Left with two loafs of day old and a warm feeling. Enjoyed the bread with breakfast lunch and dinner, looking forward to each slice. Now a staple on our SB camping trips.

Oat was one of the best places we went during our time in Santa Barbara. We tried it early on during our trip and couldn’t stop talking about it and returned to get more. Our favorites were the sage/garlic bread, super seed cookie, and cinnamon bun. All were so fresh and perfectly made. The staff was also friendly. This is a place I would recommend to everyone going to Santa Barbara.

Of note- it is primarily for take out as there is not any seating on the inside.

I love this place and this is the go to for Holidays. The spreads are delicious and breads are always such a hit at our Thanksgivings, Easters, and Xmas Dinners.Definitely check this place out! The spreads are my favorite, the ingredients are all Whole Foods, no processed crap. Yum!

Yes yes and yes again! The garlic sage bread was one of the best breads I’ve had in The States. And the cinnamon morning bun had just the right amount of sugar and left an amazing aftertaste. Wish I would have grabbed more to go before leaving Santa Barbara. This place will remain on my radar! Definitely a must try if you’re in the neighborhood!

Good bread but OUTRAGEOUS pricing...$14 for a loaf of sourdough! The bread is not that good. I make sourdough and the ingredients are flour and water, so this price is ridiculous and elitist. How are regular people supposed to afford?! I guess they only care about Montecito customers.

Passing through town and had a couple people tell me I had to stop by Oat Bakery. They weren’t wrong! The smell of fresh bread caught before I even hit the doorway. Service was amazing and helped me make some great choices. I tried the hygge cinnamon bun, which is their top seller and I see why! The olive focaccia bread, the best savory bread I’ve ever had, and the super seed cookie which was also unique and delicious. I don’t even really like bread, but I definitely do now!

Finally got to try their famous sourdough! I visited twice before and both time they were closed. This is a tiny bakery, takeout only, and you can see the bakers work behind the open counter. the smell of the freshly baked bread just lured you in! We got the signature Sesame Charcoal Sourdough. The crust is thin and fragrant with nutty sesame seeds, the crumb is unbelievably beautiful with charcoal and wheat marble, and it’s super tender and fluffy. This is the most enjoyable sourdough I have had the past years. We also had the focaccia with onion and cheese. It’s savory, light and airy in texture and has the satisfying chewiness from the crust. I will definitely come again.

OMG the bread! The bread is to die for. Quite possibly the best bread I've ever had.i also had a flaky pastry that I THINK is called a frosnapper. Filled with marzipan, it's also loaded with both sesame and poppy seeds and is yummy yummy yummy. I only remembered to take a pic when there was just a bite left.
