Lilac Pâtisserie

Reliable cafe with a good location. I’ve eaten the Belgian waffle twice, and enjoyed it. The texture was “hearty” without being dense; flavor-wise, I felt it was less sweet than a traditional Belgian waffle. The real maple syrup and whipped cream created a smooth complement, and the syrup saturated the waffle rather than pooling on top of it. The bacon was savory and crisp, without being overly salty. Chicken apple sausage was also seasoned well. Recommend both. Two sides of meat made a lighter brekkie for two. I also had a soup du jour (cauliflower with bacon and hazelnut). The cauliflower base was smooth and unremarkable, but the “lardon” and hazelnuts added some texture and richness to an otherwise mild base. Service was fast, but the counter order aspect meant getting up if y

My favorite brunch spot in Santa Barbara! I have come here 3 times during my trip because it the quiche lorraine is so delicious! My husband, who isn’t gluten free, said it’s the best quiche he’s ever had too! The cafe latte with sea salt caramel is amazing. The blueberry muffin was one of the best I’d ever had—the blueberries were so big! The coffee cake, cheesecake, lemon bar and brownies are also top notch!

Very nice/cozy place where you order at the counter and they’ll bring food to your table. Had breakfast / brunch here and was pleasantly surprised how tasty the food was! Eggs Benedict, 2 egg breakfast with some coffee and a mimosa. Coffee comes in a large carafe (wouldve liked it at a higher temperature but still good) so can be shareable. Prices are slightly on the high side but does have good quality food overall. Will be back!

My girlfriend has celiac and loved it. But honestly, speaking as a non-celiac person, I just found it ok. Nothing mind blowing, even though I recognize that it is above average for gluten-free restaurants/cafés. I think it is quite pricey for its value. But if you have celiac, if you follow a gluten free diet or have gluten allergy, come here! You will be absolutely satisfied and you will love this place, as there are so many options for you and also it is 100% safe. Staff is kind and welcoming. French Toast: 8/10, the abun is good, as well as maple syrup and whipped cream. Apple Chicken Sausages: 10/10. Amazing. Berries: 9/10. Fresh and good. Reccommended. Breakfast Sandwich: 8,5/10. Solid sandwich, a bit dry in my opinion. Blueberry Lemon Tart: 8,5/10. It is objectively good, even thoug

Amazing quiche and lemon cheesecake. London fog tea may not be for everyone, but the taste is interesting. Fully gluten-free, so celiac-friendly.
