👍👍 This is a great place to chill and get the best service on State St. As a former baker I can only praise the best cinnamon bun I ever had was served here. Light & fluffy and surprisingly; the right amount of sweet and cinnamon; pair a gentle hot chocolate…. Yummy for my Tummy!

👍👍 First time trying this place. Will definitely be back. Might be my new favorite breakfast spot.

Renaud's Patisserie and Bistro
Restaurant
👍 This popular Montecito stop has an ultra upscale coffee house vibe, a polite staff, and their coffee prices are surprisingly good for the neighborhood.

I also had The Bomb Latte. Do...
