This popular place is known for great pastry and also a tasteful brunch and lunch place near Chaucer's book store. I love their quiche as well as most of their brunch items. It can get busy on weekends. Very casual and it is really counter service and you are on your own, which is not a problem when you know... More 

Renaud makes decent pastry but grossly under staffes his restaurants, they are poorly organized, virtually unsupervised.

Had breakfast twice here during our stay in Santa Barbara and it was convenient for us because it was so close to Agave Inn where we were staying. There is a good selection of pastries and the cooked breakfasts also provided a hearty meal to start the day.
