Santa Barbara is in California, on the West Coast, where the climate ranges from foggy coast to hot inland valleys, wildfire season can affect air quality in late summer, and traffic is the main thing to plan around. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Santa Barbara follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building.

Absolutely delicious!! Prices are a bit high, but the quality and freshness are both unbeatable! The olive focaccia and the garlic sage buns were both incredible!

Overall rating: 4.9 Definitely thought maybe they served coffee, but they’re all bread. Staff wasn’t as friendly as I would hope, but the prices were great! I can see why it’s so popular. Items I ordered: Sage garlic bun Morning bun Highly recommend!

Oat was one of the best places we went during our time in Santa Barbara. We tried it early on during our trip and couldn’t stop talking about it and returned to get more. Our favorites were the sage/garlic bread, super seed cookie, and cinnamon bun. All were so fresh and perfectly made. The staff was also friendly. This is a place I would recommend to everyone going to Santa Barbara. Of note- it is primarily for take out as there is not any seating on the inside.

Finally got to try their famous sourdough! I visited twice before and both time they were closed. This is a tiny bakery, takeout only, and you can see the bakers work behind the open counter. the smell of the freshly baked bread just lured you in! We got the signature Sesame Charcoal Sourdough. The crust is thin and fragrant with nutty sesame seeds, the crumb is unbelievably beautiful with charcoal and wheat marble, and it’s super tender and fluffy. This is the most enjoyable sourdough I have had the past years. We also had the focaccia with onion and cheese. It’s savory, light and airy in texture and has the satisfying chewiness from the crust. I will definitely come again.

🥖 Bread: The vegan bread options at Oat Bakery are simply outstanding. I particularly enjoyed the variety they offer, with each bread being fresh and warm. Their sourdough with flaxseed was amazing - chewy and slightly yeasty, just delicious. The vegan cinnamon rolls and veggie sandwich were incredible too. The quality and taste of their bread, especially the unique ones like the seed bread and the one with cheddar cheese and apples, left a lasting impression on me 🏡 Atmosphere: Oat Bakery is a cozy and charming spot, a true hidden gem in Santa Barbara. It's a tiny place but has a great vibe, very organic and authentic. The bakery, with its counter opening right onto the street, adds a quaint and welcoming touch. It felt great to be there, enjoying their delicious offerings in such a homely environment 😍 Overall Experience: I was truly amazed by the quality of breads and other items at Oat Bakery. Everything I tried was exceptional. This place is definitely on my must-visit list for Santa Barbara, and I plan to load up on their delicious breads every time I'm in town. It's not just a bakery, it's an experience - one that I highly recommend to anyone visiting or living in Santa Ba
