Jeannine's Restaurant & Bakery

What a gem of a place❣️ Love everything about it!! Food choices are delicious and even though this place is very busy, it moves fast! All their staff are efficient and friendly. Place your order before you sit, plenty of tables inside and out. Delectable bakery items too! Everything is top notch here.

The pastries were so soo good! Delicious Benedict.

Low key. Great food. Wonderful assortment of pastries and baked goods. Coffee menu spot on. Shaded outdoor morning seating is wonderful. So happy to have stumbled onto this place as they opened for the day.

What an excellent place for breakfast! Located in peaceful and blissful Montecito this restaurant is always popular with the locals and tourists alike. Sometimes you see a long line of people waiting outside. It is worth the wait. Their food is very delicious and their service is quick. The only problem is that the diners want to hang out at the tables for longer because it’s such a fun place to see and be seen and people watch. If you wake up early you will get in without a problem. Try their breakfast and bakery goods. They also offer fun mimosas mixed with great bubbles. Inside the restaurant there is a beautiful vintage stained glass window. Do check it out as well.

Perfect breakfast spot in SB, I was told to stop by on my way through and I’m glad I did. Food was perfect, hollandaise was best I’ve ever had.

I was able to visit Jeannine's for breakfast and it is such a cute, cozy restaurant and bakery. I went twice in the week and both mornings I was able to walk in with only 1-2 people in front of me. The menus are at front for you to grab and while you make your way to the register you get to see their scones, cookies, pastries and other confections. You place your order at the register where they provide you with a number that you can take to your table of choice. The young girls behind the register were so sweet and polite and were very great at going over the menu options. I highly recommend the apple scone, lemon scone and the cherry scones; all 3 were magnificent. I was able to try the Florentine Benedict and the Santa Barbara Scramble with Avocado. I had tried the Florentine Benedict the first morning and I loved it so much I went back two days later. The Scramble was just as good and so was their fresh squeezed orange juice. If youre ever in the area or just driving by, visit this cozy establishment as it will not disappoint.

Super sweet, beautiful bakery and restaurant. The atmosphere is so lovely. The food was satisfying & came out fast.

Great place and even with a decent queue they had a system that worked wonders and we were seated within 10-15 minutes. You order your own food at the counter and they bring it to your table. The avocado on toast and the burrito were really nice, not 10/10 but that was compensated with one of the best blueberry muffins I have ever tried. Great coffees!! They also sell some other cute items if you are after a little souvenir or present.

Very cute place, food was good and we tried the strawberry croissant that was really good. But we were not happy with the fruit smoothie we ordered at all. First they brought that very late like when we finished all the meals and ready to leave! we asked 3 people working there about it while eating, so after a long wait we had that but it was not good at all. It was mostly water and not a good smoothie at all. We left that on the table and left. I would go to this place for brunch when I am back at SB again but would never again order a smoothie from them :)

What a wonderful place! From the moment we walked up, to the moment we left, it was such a positive experience and I look forward to coming back. We felt very welcomed by every member of the staff and the food far exceeded our expectations. We got the breakfast burrito with potatoes, a blueberry scone, and an orange juice to share. The potatoes were absolutely delicious, it was nice mix of purple and yellow potatoes with carrots and they were crispy on the outside with a fluffy buttery interior. The burrito was well balanced - the bacon was super smoky, and the fresh salsa had a nice kick and flavor. The texture of the scone was perfect, crispy exterior with a moist interior with lots of delicious blueberries. The fresh orange juice was one of the best I've had in a long while. High quality ingredients that are well prepared. The ambiance is super cute, from the pink umbrellas to the pink salt and pepper shakers, and cute little vintage and modern touches throughout. We sat outside and thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast. Come early as it gets packed! Ample street parking.

Food was delicious and came in big portions. Everything tasted fresh and they had some unique flavors that made everything even better tasting! The cashier was nice and the servers were quick with our food and drinks. The cafe is super cute and has great outdoor seating for sunny morning coffee. We sat inside because of bad weather and it was a little cramped, but with so many people trying to eat here it's obviously understandable

I actually desired to go to the Santa Barbara location and I could have walked there from the train station. Instead, I hailed Uber, didn't notice there was another location and ended up here. You see a lot of well heeled people. Yes, I am in Montecito. There is a nice summer ambiance at Jeannine's. Outside tables with umbrellas and a relaxed inside crowd at the limited small tables inside. There are bakery goods, together with breakfast and lunch items from a small but enticing menu. I had another place in mind for lunch, so I only opted for one small Almond Financier and was shocked when I had to pay over $8 for it. Round trip Uber was $30. The Financier was good, but at that price? I later noted that it was also gluten free. Service was timely and excellent.

We LOVED this place. Great service, delicious food, and the sweetest atmosphere. Definitely will be coming back next time we are in the area.

Yummy, yummy, yummo, yummo, yummy, yummo, yummy, yummo, yummo, yummy, yummo, yummy, yummo! Challah French toast, scone, omelets - all great!

Love Jeannine's! Highly recommend ordering in advance for pick-up to avoid long lines and take your food to the beach! I love scones and was really impressed by the ones here. Also highly recommend the Havana latte!

The service was very good, food was excellent. Just one thing we had toget our own water.

I've visited both Jeanine's locations quite a bit and I like it as a go to with friends. The chicken sando is my go to but this time around since I wasn't 100% happy with my last experience, I went with the tri tip. I actually really didn't enjoy the sandwich. The cook was good but I couldn't get with the tastes. So I won't order it again but I will go back and see if they get the chicken right again. The blue tortilla chips and salsa are some of my favorite house chips/salsa. And their lemonade is yumm. Atmosphere is cool. Parking can be a thing but just apply a little patience and it'll be with it. Outdoor seating is nice. Their area is always pleasant and feels like it's truly part of the restaurant and not just some random tables and chairs on the sidewalk.

To be honest, just another spot. We were in the area. A bit small. The food was decent. You wouldn't expect this place in the little Saigon area.

This was such a cute little spot!! I loved everything about it. The food was amazing! We had breakfast plus a few pastries. I don't have one negative comment! Customer service was phenomenal.

One thing I always look for is a great cinnamon roll. Not too sweet not too gooey icing. And this place hits it right! There were so many other pastries I want to try. And then there is their breakfast choices. From the huevos rancheros to the breakfast sandwich with avocado to the smoked salmon and the French toast, all were amazing. Great spot for sure.

Breakfast and pastries are uncommonly good. Fresh smoothies and juice. Americano was perfect and goes great with the scones. Easily 5 stars!

Cute cafe with great service. Food is good but kind of lacking some flavor. The breakfast burrito was a bit watery. Lattes are good. Indoor and outdoor seating. Nice spot for breakfast or brunch or catching up with a friend for coffee

Great food, lovely flavors, substantial portions. Service is young and friendly. This location is somewhat out-of-the-way and less of a wait than Santa Barbara. And has plenty of parking

Love Jeannine's! Great food, just too crowded and tight of a space to eat in. Awkward sitting right next to the line where folks stand to order.

The place had a great atmosphere and the food was delicious! We had the breakfast burrito and orange scone. Please make sure to add to your list!

Great breakfast spot right off the beach! The line was long but moved fast and the food was delish. Dog friendly & plenty of outdoor seating, no complaints. Try to get there before 9am on a weekend to avoid the rush!

Great spot for brunch in montecito. Wide offerings from eggs and sweet items off the griddle. I had their lobster Benedict. Perfectly poached eggs with lots of lobster!

Eggs Benedict order to go - Ordered poached egg medium which is supposed to still have a runny yolk. Received a hard boiled egg.

Cute restaurant with alot of options! The staff was also very friendly. We ate outside which wasn't the best ambiance since it's practically in the street with parking spots directly in front. There was a lot of traffic in and out of the spots. Also it was pretty pricey for what you get.

Great spot for the best scones and coffee! Sat outside and enjoyed the fantastic ambiance on a clear, sunny Montecito morning. Very friendly service too.

Great breakfast spot with fast service and a relaxed friendly vibe. Food is very well done simple and delicious. I love crispy hash browns and they do it perfectly. The breakfast burrito was super filling with egg chorizo pepper and cheese.

We just finished a delicious breakfast at Jeanine's. Everything was great...the coffee, tea, fresh squeezed orange juice, raspberry scone, oatmeal and yogurt with granola. What impressed us most was the employees. They are friendly, efficient and appear genuinely happy to be working here from the greeter, counter personal, servers and bus staff. A great meal and we will definitely return.

Stumbled across this gem while visiting Santa Barbara and it was the perfect little breakfast/lunch spot! I had the Chicken Pesto sandwich which was great and my husband had the Turkey Cranberry sandwich that he thoroughly enjoyed. Service was friendly and prompt, the decor of the restaurant was adorable and they also had baked goods that looked very appetizing. We'd definitely come back on our next visit!

The ambiance is very nice. You order at the front counter and your food is brought to you very quickly. The coffee and food were all delicious and a blueberry scone was perfectly moist. Would absolutely recommend.

If you want to "see and be seen" in Montecito, Jeannine's should be on your list of places to sit and watch designer purses and $100,000 watches pass by. If you are looking for a really good breakfast, go to Esau's in Carpinteria or hop on your private jet and go to the Hawaiian Style Cafe in Waimea! While the ambiance and people watching are 5-Star and I love the fact that you can buy a bottle of Veuve Clicquot Rose for $74, the food is thoroughly disappointing and puts the "Ho" in "Ho Hum." Jeannine's is the Emperor's New Clothes of restaurants... People love it because they think they are supposed to! The potatoes are mushy (even after they have been sent back), the turkey sausage links are so flavorless they might as well be made of cardboard (if they were made of cardboard at least they would have contained a week's worth of fiber) and the list of disappointments goes on and on. The service is indifferent too. We asked multiple times for ice to pour our hot coffees over and got lots of "yesses" but not one ice cube. On the other extreme, some of the dishes have as much subtleness of an 18-Wheeler driving down the sidewalk. For example, the Banana Kahlua French toast is so sickeningly sweet that all you taste is sugar... there is no hint of banana other than when you bite a slice and there is absolutely no hint of coffee/Kahlua anywhere on the plate. The only dish anyone in my group even remotely liked was the Ricotta Scrambled Eggs on Toast. Would I go back to sip on mimosas and people watch? Yes. Think very mini version of Cafe de Paris in Monaco... it is entertaining watching people sporting hundred thousand dollar watches, lavish Cartier bracelet stacks and designer purses deceiving themselves into believing they are not pretentious, privileged and superior to the peeps from Summerland, Carpinteria, Goleta and San Roque. Pretending to be down to earth is not nearly as easy as it looks! I am hopeful that the Lemon Poppyseed Pancakes will make the eating part of my next visit pleasurable.

Best breakfast and brunch spot in SB! The service is incredible - so friendly and welcoming. Food is amazing and they have a grab and go section which is really convenient. Location can't be beat and ambience is lovely.

I would give this place a 2.5 stars. I truly do not understand the ratings of this place and it does not live up to them at all. To start out with good things. GOOD: Very clean, bathrooms were clean and gender neutral Very formal, amazing service and nice The eggs, sausage and bacon were great But this is about where the good things end BAD: If you are expecting to sit down and have breakfast don't come here, you order at the counter then they bring you your food to you I ordered the sticky bun, and it was just dry, this made it inedible, and it was just mediocre. I also got the biscuits and gravy, which they forgot to heat up, and there's no way to return it since you don't have a person waiting you. It was just mediocre but at least it had eggs. The pancakes were also in the same category, they seem to use city tap water and they were so bad. The waffle seemed good, but I didn't have a bite. All the food just seemed to be bad or just mediocre, the only reason they are in business is because they are next to the pier and the beach. Also the hot cocoas are worse than Swiss miss. The food was a 2 star with the sides being redeeming, The service was a 5, clean uniforms and nice The cleanliness was a 5, not anything that was dirty and things were taken care of quickly. No pictures taken, but the presentation is great, great for instagram but the food was pretty bad.

I've brought my boyfriend here for two consecutive years for a birthday brunch! Both times were during the weekday for a later brunch so the wait wasn't too bad. You order at the counter and they bring the food out to you! The patio seating is really cute with colorful umbrellas, marble tabletops, and plants. Staff is amazing...from the cashier, to the espresso/champagne man, and our waiter. Very friendly and accommodating - offered water for our dog, patient with my many menu questions, generous with the surprise birthday cake slice, and even lit candles for us! The banana kahlua French toast is delicious, eggs are creamy, bacon is perfect. I loved my huevos rancheros too. Had the avocado toast recently and I think it needed more avocado and more flavor (but it could've been because I had the French toast first which was very rich). We will be back!

The food was good. Coffee was ok. For a first timer it's a little overwhelming to sort out the menu and then be ready to order. No refills on coffee as far as I know. No one works the tables with a pot of coffee. The wild blueberry danish was the star for sure.

the whole thing was flavorless, the dressing was literally just oil maybe canola tasted so icky! chicken that i paid an extra 4.50 was sub par. The whole thing was 19.50 are you kidding?!?

Came to visit Santa Barbara's and this was our first spot! Recommend you to make your breakfast stop here. I ordered their Banana Kahlua French Toast and their breakfast potatoes. The banana Kahulua French toast and it was the perfect balance of sweet and savory. The potatoes were the perfect balance of salt to match this breakfast plate. There is tons of outdoor and indoor seating, so you can easily enjoy some fresh air as you eat your breakfast. Additionally their wait staff are so kind. They would check on us, make sure our food was good, and even went out their way to take a picture of our party. Would come again!

Nice view with good food of reasonable price. We visited on Saturday morning. Many people on line.

The best food and service. Lovely spot. Staff are lovely and accommodating. Much prefer the Montecito location.

I was out in about for the Holidays and taking advantage of my days off. I went out to the Friday Farmers Market in Montecito and noticed there was no line at Jeannine's Bakery! I popped in and treated myself to this spectaular breakfast. My latte came in this huge mug and my sandwich was made to perfection. It even came with potatoes!!!! It was so peacefull sitting outside since not too many people that morning. It just might be my new breakfast spot!

All around a 5/5. The service was impeccable -- it's so clear that the people who work here love working here. We got the Turkey Berry Sandwich and the Lemon Poppyseed Pancakes. Both were AMAZING. The Turkey Berry sandwich was so simple but sooo tasty. Plus, it felt pretty healthy :) The Lemon Poppyseed pancakes were so unique and tasted unlike any other lemon poppyseed pancakes we've ever tasted. Portion sizes were generous! The location and decor is great and it's great for people watching!

We cannot be within striking distance without visiting Jeannine's Bakery in Montecito. Their staff is always so friendly and welcoming showing their appreciation for their customers. Since it was a weekend, they had Biscuits & Gravy which were one of the best I've had with fresh crispy biscuits and a rich sausage laden gravy. We also had huevos rancheros which were so fresh and tasty. Their baked goods and selections of champagnes are impressive. Already we are looking forward to our next visit.

love the breakfast burrito and cute ambiance. I always call in the order ahead as the line can get long during peak hours.

Cute ambiance and the service is great. I got the chicken salad sandwich. It needed a little salt but other than that it was delicious. The strawberry lemonade was also fresh and refreshing. The perfect lemonade on a summer day.

STILL MAGICAL ! We were up in Santa Barbara for a few days to celebrate my wife's birthday. The happy memories of our last visit here in Sept, 2020 were still strong.....staying overnight in a beautiful Casita at The Eagle Inn and enjoying a fabulous breakfast here the next morning. My wife and I parked across the street around 8am on Friday...it was a tad chilly ! I could see a flash Bentley Coupe parked out the front...maybe Prince Harry & Co are here. HELLO ! Looks like a new coat of exterior paint has been added since our last visit...hopefully nothing else has changed ! Obviously we had beaten the rush as there was not much going at this point...at least not on the empty outdoor patio. My wife sat at a tiny table inside while I stood in line to order. Mmm...I could not see any Jeannine's embossed large porcelain cups on top of the shiny espresso machine. WHAT'S UP ! After a few minutes it was my turn to order.....a cashier named Sixty took good care of me. First up I ordered 2 x 12oz Double Shot LATTES with 2% milk and hazelnut syrup. At this point I said to Sixty that you guys have obviously pivoted to paper cups dine in or not. Yes said Sixty but because you want 12oz we can put them in porcelain mugs. NICE TOUCH ! For my wife I ordered 1 x SANTA BARBARA SCRAMBLE ( eggs, mixed cheese, spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes..served with potatoes & choice of buttermilk biscuit or toast ) and for myself 1 x CLASSIC EGGS BENEDICT ( Canadian bacon, 2 HARD POACHED eggs...served on a toasted English muffin topped with our own house-made hollandaise sauce with choice of potatoes or hash browns ) plus a FRESH SQUEEZED ORANGE JUICE. Now my wife had spotted a delectable looking CHOCOLATE CAKE in the display cabinet as we came in. Yesterday was my wife's birthday and chocolate cake was on her wish list. I asked Sixty to find out what kind of cake it was. It's a Classic Chocolate Cake ( $50 )...ok box it please ! I paid, was given a table number and asked to retrieve my ( pre-squeezed ) fresh squeezed orange juice in a sealed plastic cup from the tray below. WOW ! We've been here a few times in the last 14 years and yet I had not seen one familiar face. GONE ! I found out the original manager / supervisor Richard had moved on as had Anthony the last manager we met. Covid has certainly changed a lot of things since our last visit in 2020. Our 2 lattes in pastel pink porcelain mugs came out and tasted very good. Soon after our breakfast dishes hit the table simultaneously and looked spectacular. My perfectly cooked hard poached eggs tasted wonderful as did my scrumptious hash browns. My wife was more than happy with her Santa Barbara Scramble...lots to love ! I went looking for the small inside bathroom out the back and a staff member handed me a numbered code for the outside corporate bathroom. By this time the place was buzzing with the sleepy heads who eat late. It was great to have breakfast here again....one of our fav places. It's a shame that it now feels more businesslike and less warm & friendly. And it's absolutely tragic that such a fine eatery now serves all their espresso drinks in paper cups. THIS IS NOW THE WAY ! We picked up our boxed Classic Chocolate Cake and left. STILL HARD TO BEAT ! NOTE - Of course with over 22 million views of my Yelp reviews and pics in 2022 I can tell you what is great !

What a cute little spot!!! I came here with my Mom on Monday. The food was yummy, especially the dark chocolate cake- it was seriously intoxicating it was so good. We also had the pesto chicken sandwich and the tri-tip sandwich which were also so good. The sandwiches came with chips and the tastiest salsa, which other than the cake were the best part of the meal. The portions are gigantic!!!! We loved the outside seating on their patio, under their cute umbrellas. It was such a nice day and the shade covering was perfect. Most of the servers were excellent, except one who kept staring me down after I politely asked her for plastic utensils for my to-go cake. Other than that, it was a great little lunch spot and I can't wait to go back. Oh and one more shoutout to the cake- seriously get it. You won't be disappointed!!!

Crowded at 9:30am on a a Sunday morning! We dropped off our friend to wait in line while we looked for parking. Got lucky and found a parking spot fairly quickly. Long line to order but it moved quicker than we expected. You place your food order and your given a number for a table outside. Lots of pastry options and they have a self serving water station outside. We ordered off the brunch menu. Tri-tip benedict with a side of fruit, Tri-tip and Chicken pesto sandwiches both with coleslaw. Two coffees and a Raspberry scone. I was disappointed to find out that they had been sold out of the burgers for 30 minutes. The Benedict could've used half the sauce. The meat was juicy and cooked well. The coleslaw had olives in it but it worked. Probably my favorite thing. The coffee was sour and the scone was just okay. Cute outdoor dining area. You need a code for the restroom. Located just around the corner. Overall not memorable but for a pit stop from SLO to LA it will do.

Great food, great atmosphere. Small indoor dining- not great if raining. Efficient service and consistently good .

My first time there loved it, the food was good and service was amazing. There was a line and well worth the wait and there were 6 of us we got our table number even before we ordered our food.

When we arrived we were a little bit intimidated by the line because it was really long. However, the place was really cute so we decided to stay and thank goodness we didn't leave. As we were getting closer to order our food a young man named Anthony approached us and asked how many were in our party and he gave us a table number. Our server, Alexander was so polite and attentive. Anthony is runs the place! So as tables open up he goes inside and talks to the customers and gets them all tables by the time you leave the inside to go sit your table is already waiting for you! He was helpful and extremely detailed oriented. In fact during our time there two other customers complimented!! Next time we are in the area we are definitely coming back!!!

Lovely atmosphere. Wonderful food! The staff is very and friendly! A Montecito morning staple.

We had an amazing brunch and the service was excellent. One of the best spots in Santa Barbara!! When we left, I accidentally left my wallet and Donna has been beyond helpful to help ship it overnight and allow me to get it within the next few days. This place is truly spectacular and thank you again for helping!

Great place. Start with that. Not sure what to say next - is it the great coffee? The amazing baked goods? Or the kitchen staff churning out superb breakfast dishes like Huevos Rancheros, various wonderful benedicts, and super whole grain and power dishes. My wife ordered the avocado toast and it was gorgeous and delicious. Anyway, gracias to the owner and staff - they are all together a great team with positive energy in a world that could use more of that.
