Crema's Take
“This charming French-inspired bistro in Santa Barbara excels at the art of slowness, inviting you to linger over expertly crafted pastries and excellent coffee in a cozy, elegant setting with both indoor and outdoor seating. The exquisite almond croissants and house-made baked goods pair beautifully with their traditional coffee selections, making it an ideal spot to settle in for a leisurely breakfast or afternoon break—just plan to arrive early since they close by 4pm.”

One of the finest bakery in town that has excellent choices of food and coffee options. Nice cozy corner place, that has great food, delicious in taste and their coffee , pastries and other baked good are great too. Highly recommend the place for your coffee and quick bites
We visited Brenaud’s, and the experience was outstanding! The food was simply amazing, the coffee was excellent, and the service was top-notch. We ordered an almond croissant and a vegetable quiche with a side of potatoes, and every bite was a delight. The potatoes were dreamy, and the almond croissant was the best we’ve had so far. We’ll definitely be back!
Adorable place in Montecito with beautifully crafted pastries and tasty drinks! So many elements of this place are appealing: the central location, the exquisite pastry booths, a charming elegance alongside a welcoming atmosphere… absolutely loved my few visits here and justifiably worth any wait! Renaud’s seems to be a Montecito staple and I’d hope to come back!
Slow down and enjoy an afternoon coffee and almond croissant at this cool cafe with a French touch. Casual indoor and outdoor sitting. Tip: Come early as they close at 4pm!
Some of the best food I have had in California, and I’m quite good already at finding this state’s most sustainable, delicious munchies. There are lots of reviews complaining about service and I honestly wouldn’t mind if you had to stand on one foot and order with your eyes closed, it would be worth it. Relax. You cannot miss anywhere on this menu and everything is ridiculously fresh. There’s a mini farmers market right nearby in fact. If you leave a bad review because you have an unreasonable request or don’t like your interaction with one staffer for one second, I don’t understand what you’re expecting. Perfection is an illusion. Chill. You’re in a beautiful place near the beach. Food was literally “wow” level. 5.1/5 stars. Michelin grade. Would teleport here daily if I could. Flavor, plate quality, portion - all on point. Not crazy expensive, not the cheapest. Reasonable for the area. Just lovely all around.
