Bree’osh

Melt in your mouth pastries. I ordered the mushroom croissant. My daughter ordered the salmon sandwich. They are both delicious. I felt as If I was in France again enjoying a great breakfast. This place is small with limited seating, but definitely worth the wait. Only here for the day, so I do not know when I will be back.

Came for a tasting today. Staff were kind. Parking & some outdoor seating out front.
Brioche & croissants were delicious; my husbands fave was the cinnamon, mine was the parmesan but the mushroom was a close 2^nd.
Will say they are a bit on the pricey side, but Im not sure what competitors charge.

This location has changed hands many times and I’m hoping this one is here for good. This is a great example of a classic French café experience: Incredible food, quiet and peaceful pace. I could eat smoked salmon every day so I got the Eggs & Salmon (simple and delightful), but my husband’s dish is the real winner. The CROQUE MADAME is GENIUS. It has a brilliant béchamel sauce that is to die for.

Breeosh is awesome breakfast!
Goat cheese bacon and fried egg on a croissant with a delectable salad for breakfast is the way to go! This is our favorite place. Also Best almond croissant around. Great coffee & espresso. Authentic top notch quality food!

An adorable, delicious, authentic yet simple French café — the brioche is of course amazing, great coffee, sweet owners. We loved it!

4.5 stars rounded up because of the charm of the restaurant.
The BEST espresso in Montecito (handlebar roasters).
Only reason it shouldn’t get the full 5 stars is because of the namesake of the restaurant. The brioche is only average and the food is slightly over priced.

Friendly service and super delicious food! We arrived on our way up to Northern California early on a Friday morning. Got the egg and bacon brioche, coffee and a chocolate brioche. So good!

Friendly owners great hometown service. delicious eggs smoked salmon and brioche. Perfect place for just coffee or full breakfast great cappuccino l.

Brioche in many flavors and styles, including a chicken sandwich at lunch, and Handlebar coffee.
Don’t miss the almond cream.
Perfection.

Incredibly delicious and authentic French pastries, brioches, breakfast sandwiches, and coffee drinks! Working my way through trying each option. Usually go for breakfast and get a breakfast egg brioche sandwich and side sweet brioche. The rolls and almond brioche have to be my favorite so far!
The owners are always working there and are incredible nice!

What a delicious ham and cheese sandwich. You’ll love this small French café. We are in visiting for the weekend and Unilocal has been our guide. Thank you for pointing the way on this one. My daughter had the bacon and goat cheese sandwich, she loved it as well. We enjoyed sitting outside the café, tables were clean and comfortable. Do not miss out on this morning must!

My preferred morning coffee/​breakfast/​pastry destination. A touch of Paris on Coast Village Rd – from the buttery aromas to the friendly French accent. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, but I recommend the salmon and eggs on brioche and an almond croissant with coffee. Yum.

Just had the loveliest quick brunch bites with the BF here. We shared a bacon and egg sandwich and their raspberry bread pudding — both were amazing. The sandwich had some sort of sauce on it that i think was mainly butter and chives (so delish and I’m really picky about sauces). Place is cute, clean, good service and food was perfect — check them out!!!

Excellent little (emphasis little) spot for some outstanding French pastries and breakfast sandwiches. Seating is limited and service is a little slower than one might be accustomed since the couple who own the place also take your order, make your drink, cook your sandwich (if necessary), run your food to you, clean up after guests, etc. they actually are pretty efficient.
The Brioches, sandwiches and other pastries are absolutely worth the wait.
Highly recommended!

This place is HEAVENLY.
I absolutely recommend stopping here for a quick bite during your visit to Santa Barbara. The people watching is great and this little café is darling.
Things that you MUST try:
— Croque Monsieur (grilled ham and cheese and a cheese brioche)
— Alomond Crème Brioche
— Bacon and Cheese Brioche
The food is always fresh and their coffee drinks are delicious. I love ordering the vanilla latte, they make it PERFECT.

1. Handlebar cappuccino without having to go downtown!
2. Perfect brioche. I’m a pastry snob, so I don’t exclaim lightly. And a variety thereof. Plus, a piece of cinnamon-​style to taste mid-​meal.
3. Those scrambled eggs though. Fluffy and delightful.
4. Naturally sweet and hospitable all-​French staff act genuinely stoked you’re there (unlike cafes nearby).
5. My breakfast sandwich arrived beside fresh arugula topped with shaved parmesan and drizzled olive oil.
So pretty much, it’s heaven.
Update:
— Bacon & Egg sandwich. To die for.
— Salmon & Egg sandwich. Can’t even. OMG yum.
Btw these sandwiches are hefty. I can’t usually eat a whole one… Who am I kidding? I always eat it all, but I’m really full, since there’s a salad on the side, too.

The best brioche ever!!! I’m French and know what is a good brioche and this one is one of the best I had!!! My favorite is the one with eggs & bacon, served with a delicious housemade sauce and green salad .
Also I love to buy the large loaf and eat at home with berries jam!
Les Français dans le coin, passage obligé!!

Let’s do it in french ! Quel chouette endroit et quelle fraicheur. Des que vous rentrez dans la boutique, vous êtes attirés par la couleur sympathique des murs qui rappelle le soleil extérieur. Les hôtes vous accueille avec beaucoup de gentillesse et vous propose des brioches salées et sucrées selon vos goûts et le moment de la journée. La fraicheur est au rendez-​vous et les goûts sont délicieux. On regrette juste que l’endroit est un peu petit sinon vive la France !

Ok now, don’t y’all come at me with pitchforks for giving this place a solid, respectable 4 vs. the sacred 5, but hear me out!
After reading these glowing reviews, I had to have a piece for myself. One beautiful Saturday morning, we finally made our way over for breakfast. It’s cute, cozy, and quaint with some tables outside so your furry pal can join you. There was a steady stream of customers while we were there. The owners were incredibly sweet and you could tell customer satisfaction was a priority.
Mr. and I split the Eggs & Bacon and Croque Madam. We got a side of potatoes with one and a salad with the other. The Eggs & Bacon, delish. The Croque Madam, even more delish.
Now, here’s where a bit of constructive criticism comes in. Both sandwiches were lukewarm (not a big deal, but I noticed). The potatoes were just one little hashbrown patty similar to the McD’s variety. The salad was fresh and dressing was good, but a garnish-​like portion. Mr. and I were both starrrrving and we were like, this is cute. Now where’s the rest of it? We weren’t expecting the dishes to be so dainty, especially after forking out $ 11 a pop.
My takeaway is this, don’t bring a hefty appetite unless you like to get very full on mostly bread. I’d love to come back again, but this time for some post-​breakfast treats. This would be a great place for a bit of dainty, delicious gnoshing.

I love brioches! I was so excited when I saw this pop up in my Unilocal feed. My only reservation was that it was all the way in Montecito, and I live further away in Goleta, so coming here is a little out of the way. Plus their hours are shorter and so I wasn’t sure that I’d ever have time to go here. But, luckily I had some free time, and was able to make my way out here during the weekend!
Firstly, it is such a cute place. It’s light and airy, there is seating inside and outside, they play nice French music, and they also have wifi. They have a giant blackboard on the wall that has all the menu options, all of which looks delicious!
I wanted to try a chocolate brioche because chocolate is generally how I roll. However, they were out, so I thought I’d try a regular one instead. While buying it, I got into a nice conversation with the owner about where she was from and how she was finding Santa Barbara and she offered to let me try some of the praline brioche. Both were fantastic!
Montecito is a little out of the way for me, but sometimes you just gotta go the distance to get the good stuff! I will most definitely be back!

Bree’.Oh my gosh, that was delicious! After viewing some great food pics for Bree’osh on Unilocal,I bookmarked it and decided to give it whirl this morning. Little did I know, I was in for a wonderful treat and great start to my day.
Bree’osh is tucked away in a popular strip mall on Montecito’s Coast Village Road. It was formerly the home of Crush Cakes. The shop is quaint and inviting with four tables and two umbrellas outside, and two cozy booths with a small high-​top bar and stools inside.
There is a black chalk board on the wall scribed with a vast selection of fresh baked pastries, sandwiches and coffee drinks.
I was greeted at the counter by a gorgeous, young woman with a lovely French accent who appears to be one of the owners based on a photograph from an article on Bree’osh framed on their wall.
I explained to her that I was debating between the Bacon & Cheese Brioche and Almond Crème Brioche. She showed me both and described a few other items as well. I ordered the Almond Crème Brioche because it is a house specialty and paired it with a small cup of coffee from Handlebar Roasting Company.
Based on aesthetics alone, I thought the brioche might be dry, but boy was I wrong. The outside of the brioche is baked to a crispy, golden perfection and topped with crunchy toasted almond slivers. It appears to be finished off with a light egg wash prior to baking so their is a beautiful shine to the bread. Just beneath the crusty exterior, are layers, upon layers of moist, flaky bread — almost like a croissant but slightly more dense. The Almond Crème Brioche is served cut in half with a house made «almond crème» sandwiched in the centered. This crème is like nothing I have ever tasted. I tend to associate the word crème with milky or butter based products. Bree’oshs’ almond crème is nothing like that and does not appear to be made with any milk or cream at all. The texture is similar to what I imagine the love child of honey and apple sauce would be if they could have a baby. It’s difficult for me to describe, but trust me, it’s outstanding!
I cannot wait to go back and try more varieties of brioche! It has been a few hours since I consumed my tasty treat and I am still full! Despite it’s petite appearance, a brioche is actually quite filling and fairly priced around $ 4 and some change.
I highly recommend Bree’osh. C’est magnifique!
