Renaud's Patisserie & Bistro

What a wonderful little gem of a bakery. They have a very nice outside patio and several tables inside. The menu is perfect for a patisserie. The baked specialities are superb and vary from bear claws to eclairs. The service is on the slow side as they seek perfection in every dish and presentation. The best French patisserie in Santa Barbara.

Best place to have breakfast or lunch or just have a relaxing tea with a delicious pastry 👌🥰 this is a must when in Santa Barbra 🤩

Great pastry shop with unbelievable flavors. We tried the Exotic, the Bomb, the Raspberry Tart, and the Pecan Pie. The Bomb was the best and the biggest surprise. I was hesitant due to thinking it would be overly sweet. Yet, it was a light and fluffy take on Nutella or a Ferrero Rocher chocolate. Definitely worth buying. The Raspberry Tart was everything I hoped it would be. The Pecan Pie had me thinking of Mexican style caramel with the basics of pecan pie. I could see my mother loving this pastry. The Exotic was fruity, tangy, and delicious. I did wish the pistachio was more present than the dragon fruit. But there I was still able to eat it all without issue. I loved this place. You would be doing a disservice to your taste buds if you didn't order multiple pastries.

Outdoor seating is great for those of us still wary of sitting inside. The food is good, and service pretty quick. Get here before 8am when it starts to get busy.

A fantastic place to indulge in authentic French pastries. My local brother from another mother met up here to have a nice morning coffee and yummy food. The quiche was out of this world! All of the pastries we tried were superb. Will definitely be back when our travels find us in Santa Barbara.

Great place for lunch We had some delicious desserts and sandwiches The chocolate eclair and passion fruit tart was delicious and good balance of flavors , not too sweet

As à little french girl who was comming here for her laundry,i saw this Shop and tryed a "chocolate croissant", and yes thez are really good. It was tantine home 🥰

Indoor space isn’t that big and is dominated by very loud espresso machine. Service is impersonal.
