Helena Avenue Bakery - Santa Barbara

Beautiful industrial style Cafe. Nice variety of breakfast/brunch options as well as lunch. There is a wine bar that open layer in the day. Nice indoor and outdoor seating. Food 5/5 I had the spicy fried chicken sandwich with pepper jelly and it was fantastic.

This place is one of the best bakeries I’ve been to, like top 3! The breakfast sandwich is massive and just as delicious as the potatoes were! We got a loaf of some rosemary rustic bread and I treasured every single slice of that loaf!! The pastries are out of this world and the location is the perfect introduction to the vibe that Santa Barbara has to offer. This is a hub for a lot of prime spots in the city. Enjoy a breakfast sandwich to dine or take some pastries to go, you’re winning either way!!

Wonderful bakery, everything on the menu sounded amazing and everything on the case looked so good. The Elvis was very unusual and super yummy, not too sweet so perfect. The salmon toast is served on a hearty piece of bread so don't be fooled by the small plate, it's filling! The potato chips are super peppery but good. The patio is so peaceful to sit on and enjoy brunch and the restaurant is walking distance to some fun shops in funk town. Highly recommend!

Very charming place with an easy atmosphere. Was worried when we walked up to a long line but it was surprisingly easy to get a table after ordering at the counter. The food was good and portion size decent. Order the breakfast sandwich on the buttermilk biscuit instead of the brioche. The biscuit is very flavorful and flaky. I thought the baked egg was a little on the dry side and could have used some hot sauce, which I could not find in the self serve area, but I also didn't ask. They do need to update the pricing on some of their menus. Specifically, it stated one price for drip coffee but I was charged something higher.

The Farmer’s Market Sandwich is the best breakfast sandwich I’ve ever seen. Feels like your eating a burger. My daughter loves the Biscuit with salted butter. She says it’s the best biscuit she has ever tasted! We also enjoyed whipped Ricotta on sourdough with their coffee. The spot has outdoor seating and a great atmosphere.
