Our Daily Bread

This place used to be down on Santa Barbara Street. I haven’t been in years and found their new location. The same guy is there and still super friendly, but the place is HUGE now! So many delicious things to try… I will stop by whenever I’m up here. Great bread, big surprise, and decent iced lattes. I see the latte art in the pictures, I will try a cappuccino next time. Still doing the same delicious baking they’ve always done, five stars as a bakery.

The manager, Beto is very friendly, all the food is good (especially the paninis and salad).

Seating area inside is limited, portion size is alright, the breakfast was good and the waiters were friendly. I hope to return to try their pastries, they looked bomb.

We are so lucky to have this amazing bakery right here in Santa Barbara
I had their Farmers Rye bread with sunflower seeds in it and a Farmers a Market salad for lunch. The bread was made with a starter. It’s true these breads make u salivate when u smell them so the process of digestion begins. Not at all like the bread u buy in the store. This bread exudes LOVE.
The salad was made with cubes of almond crusted Brie. Hot and yummy in your mouth.Wow.i had the cilantro dressing piquant with the candied pecans, butternut squash dried cranberries and spring mix lettuce.
Truly a Restaraunt with an artist in residence

Maybe not my favorite breakfast spot, but their breads are top notch. Maybe even the best bread in town :3
Staff is very cute, I mean friendly!

Love the muffins at ODB– and the staff! Jose knows how to do the best Christmas lattes!

Vegan muffin, hot coco, oatmeal, coffee, fruit cup and a breakfast burrito cost $ 35. The oatmeal was nasty, and I love oatmeal. The fruit wasn’t ripe and they forgot to give us half our order. Coffee and muffin were tasty but I won’t be back. There are to many more deserving places that will provide better quality food and service. Ok for a coffee and muffin stop, but I wouldn’t recommend this place for anything else.

Boring muffin. Actually quite flavorless. The staff was very polite. So many other choices. Sorry guys

How the place works: Order at register, sit down, and they’ll bring your food and drinks.
How to order a veggie burrito with bacon: Bacon veggie burrito, please. The other way will confuse a certain waiter.
Good food and delicious coffee drinks. Had breakfast with a group of friends. The set-​up is a little confusing, because they have two registers going at once on opposite ends. Would eat here again.

This was my first time here and it was good, it was clean, welcoming and friendly, helpful staff. It’s walk up and order style, the menus is simple and easy to read and there is plenty of gluten free or healthy options. There is a good amount of seating inside and out with plenty of street parking. I ordered the indecisive with the French toast version, which was of course excellent with the thick sliced bread. They have lots of baked goods which I didn’t have a chance to try but I will be back again soon.

This place is just what you need to get the day started! Everything is made with love and taste fresh! Just like mom makes it in her kitchen.
I had the three egg omelette with mushroom, spinach, and tomatoes. With some greens with a homemade vinaigrette dressing. Topped with a healthy portion of avocados. I bite into it and the freshness was evident in the firm veggies. Their multi grain toast was homemade and complimented the omelette well. I just needed to add a «punch» of pepper :)
My breakfast partner ordered the Veggie breakfast burrito with egg whites. It came with cheese and fresh salsa. Well made put together burrito. Again I use this word, but I mean it people. It tasted fresh! Veggies were good. Most importantly it was light.
Service was good and staff attentive and helpful. I came on a recommendation and I am glad I got it! Thank you Steve for sharing your breakfast spot ;)

Great fruit bowl to accompany my English Breakfast tea.
Bakery selection is decent (cheesecake samples weee awesome). Staff was friendly enough but not over the top friendly. Tazo Teas for tea lovers.

I love being able to sit outside to have breakfast at this location. I first heard of ODB (not the rapper) when I had their bread at Montecito Café. I came here for lunch and really enjoyed their breakfast selections. The staff I interacted with were super friendly as well.

Love this place! Best fresh baked bread around and an awesome place to come in the mornings for a nice breakfast.
I had just been in San Francisco and had crazy good toast at The Mill. There’s really no one doing toast in So Cal except for here. Huge thick pieces of toast served with fresh ground peanut butter and homemade strawberry preserves. Seriously — this whopping piece of toast was enough for 2 people.
I know they supply a number of local restaurants with their bread but it’s great to stop in here and pick up a loaf for yourself at home. In the mornings, they often have a selection of their fresh loaves cut up for you to sample. Fantastic!

I ate hummus from here and got diarrhea within a couple of hours. I also started feeling unwell. But the shop itself it pretty fine. I found the prices to be a bit expensive, but maybe that’s just downtown Santa Barbara.

¹⁰⁄₁₀ would recommend. I LOVE THIS PLACE. I came for Sunday brunch at around noon and it wasn’t too busy. Service was great. The selection of bread is a carb lover’s heaven (SO MUCH SAMPLES TOO). All of it is super affordable too! A freshly baked french baguette was only $ 2.95! They had smaller herb rolls, ciabatta breads, etc. (a la carte) for 40– 60 cents.
Farmer’s Market Salad was light and near perfection.
— the lemon herb vinaigrette made in house is to die for.
— a nice ratio of candied pecans, crusted brie, pears, and butternut squash
Smoked Salmon Benedict
— OMG. BEST BENEDICT IVE HAD.
— On their homemade toast instead of English muffin
— The eggs were poached just right.
— The potatoes were alright, nothing too crazy.
I can’t wait to go again; a good place to study and enjoy a latte and a nice pastry (they’re around $ 2.50−3.50 and generously portioned)

What about waking up on a Sunday, enjoying delicious breakfast, espresso and squeezed orange juice while taking some sun on a terrace in such a beautiful place that is Santa Barbara?
This makes you dream, right?
Closer, let’s zoom on what’s in your plate: blueberry pancakes, orange flavor maple syrup, scrambled eggs, bacon.
Makes you salivate, right?
Well, try it next time when you’ll happen to be in Santa Barbara, and wish to enjoy the silence of a early Sunday morning.

Five stars for the free sampled of pastries and bread alone. That’s called legit sauce right there on a Sunday. Worked too because we bought some more baked goods after breakfast.
Waffles all out by 10:30 am.
Pancakes
French toast
Salmon eggs Benedict
Turkey Egg bacon croissant
Vegan friendly goods!
Kinda went crazy and bought 7 items.
What a feast.

Ok, they have bread to that contains NO yeast. This is great news for me since I have a yeast intolerance. The new space is in a nice area of De La Vina Street. There is outdoor patio seating where you can sit in the sun or shade. The inside is a little noisy but still decent. The space if more of a Bread Store than it is a restaurant so not a place if you want a quiet breakfast or lunch.

We came here for lunch and sat at the outside patio. The service was good as the gentleman at the register was nice and attentive. The food took awhile to come out (maybe ~25 mins) and it wasn’t too busy (it was close to closing time). I had the Cubano and it was good, not the best I’ve had. There was a lot of meat in it but it just wasn’t too flavorful.
The bread here is terrific. They always have plenty of samples out so you can really try their different selections.
