Deux Bakery

Shhhhh dont tell anyone or they might run out if the best bread in town!

Don't go to Deux Bakery - it will just spoil your acceptance of most other breads and pastries in town. They were kind to special order my request for chocolate cherry bread - it's sooo good - their pastries and breads also make excellent gifts. I buy a variety of breads and pastries, divide the loaves and a sampling of several breads to give as gifts. Everyone appreciates them. There's something that feels good about patronizing an unpretentious bakery that's off the usual grid - the employees are unfailingly polite and helpful - their suggestions are usually good

Had the most fantastic experience here. I held an English Garden Tea at my house. Deux bakery baked small individual scones for me in various flavors and we got the divine brownies and lemon bars. We ordered a week in advance for pick up on the day. The food was heavenly. Everything baked to perfection with delicious flavors. I will return here often. This is a hidden gem in Santa Barbara. And the service was so friendly too.

I had NO IDEA about this semi-hidden bakery on the Eastside of town until I saw my fellow Elite Harriet E's review and photos. They almost caused me to drool all over my keyboard! I immediately reached out to another Elite, Sylvia M, to make a visit happen STAT.
Since that visit a month ago we have been there together three times! No judgement. I figure if the world continues on this path, why start working out and a diet now?!

Deux means "two" or "them" in French causing me to be hopeful that another sister bakery existed in town. Unfortunately this is not the case.

This place is a hidden gem in Santa Barbara. I can't believe I just found out about it!!! It is not a see and be see spot, it's a take your delicious goodies home spot.
They have the best baguettes in town, and are on par with the best baguettes I've eaten in France. Their French loaf is also amazing.
Pastry wise, everything I've tried is superior to anything I've tried in Santa Barbara.
We are extremely fortunate to be graced by this amazing baker.

3 1/2 Stars
Deux bakery does so much that is right on an everyday basis that it was a big surprise that the croissants we ordered for a family 4th of July brunch were only average: in taste, in conformation and in the natural things a good croissant exhibits: flakiness, crispiness and buttery-ness.
Yes, of course some of these qualities were happening: just not enough of any on these attributes.
Deux took a "special order" for these which lead me on thinking about this that the croissants were bake-off from frozen. Why did i think this? Making Croissant dough is a time consuming process

There's a new found bakery that I discovered and it blew my taste buds.
The beautiful smell of the freshly baked baguettes welcomed me in!
Maria is one of the employees at Deux Bakery and she was the sweetest, and most patient when it came time for me to select what delectable pastry I would choose.

Fact is I couldn't make up my mind! Their beautiful display had so much to choose from. Banana nut bread, the cinnamon rolls that were bigger than princess Leah's buns. An assortment of muffins, from blueberry, bran, banana nut, etc. etc.
There were at least 4 different types of cookies

What a delightful and magical find. Living in Ojai, Ca, we lost several years ago a great bakery when the owner retired. They made, at the time, a wonderful assortment of baked goods, including bagels, which my family loved. Good News... while yelping months ago in the middle of Covid, I stumbled upon Deux. Wow, wow, and wow. Not only did I find a delicious assortment of breads and baked goods, but their bagels could also be some of the best in Southern California. If you live or visiting Santa Barbara, this is a hands down, must stop and buy "the goods"... I drive in every other week

I wanted a coconut cake for my 20th wedding anniversary/retirement party. Just a neighborhood affair on a weeknight but I wanted a festive but not storebought or weddingy-looking cake. Although only carrot and coffee cake are on the menu, they said they could make anything I want. The result was delicious and lovely! Dense, coconut not overpowering but just right, buttercream icing was fluffy and flavorful. My guests raved- even the ones who said they did not like coconut! I love shopping in my own neighborhood, too. My husband likes to stroll our grandson there in the mornings for pastry, but

Great bakery
Got some yummy stuff
High quality muffins and other baked goods
Small store but they have it all
They have coffee too
Their cinnamon bun looked great

Had a bagful of my favorite picks - croissants soft and buttery, some flavorful Danish breads and one gluten free oatmeal loaf. A cup of hot choco is a must also!

So good that even my grandma who doesn't eat sweets LOVED IT!! Hands down the BEST bakery and pastry shop in Santa Barbara!

I originally have never heard of this place, but after seeing my fellow Yelpers post delicious looking pics, I knew I had to try it! Thank goodness I did because it was so good! The best cinnamon roll I have ever had. The pastry itself wasn't sweet but the icing and cinnamon sugar mixture made it the perfect amount of sweetness! It was so good I could probably eat 3 in one sitting.

I will definitely be coming back to try some more pastries (especially those croissants

Incredible small bakery with fantastic handcrafted breads. place your order a day or two before to ensure they have what you want, and go in early so that you can get a sweet treat for breakfast before they are all gone.

The most amazing, perfect baguettes!!! The Sourdough bread is great too, but if you really want more sour get the Levain loaf.
I'm in love with the Strawberry Scones... best scones I've ever had (I have not tried the other flavors, but have heard they are quite different than the strawberry).
The Carrot Cake muffins are delicious.
But the Pies.... the pies, especially the fruit pies for me, are so good, they are close to perfect!!! Not too sweet. You can actually taste the fruit. And the crust is incredibly delicate, tender and soft. If you like pie that is filled with a super sugary

This is the type of little gem bakery I crave to find when I visit a new town. Well reviewed but off the usual Santa Barbara tourist path. Small storefront without any seating that I saw but this may be due to current Covid restrictions. Walk-in and you can see right back into the back where one of the bakers(owners?)was turning out scratch pie crusts to be filled with deliciousness I’m sure. At the counter you can see what they have in the way of fresh breads, pastries, cookies, muffins, etc. And in the cooler behind, cupcakes, brownies and more. So after some intense questioning, I chose a

We absolutely love Deux Bakery! They are a small, unassuming shop, but man oh man, what amazing baked goods!!

We never forget to order the salted dinner rolls for family gatherings and we can never pass up a cinnamon roll! We also really love the maple bacon biscuits. We like to pre-order them frozen to snack on whenever we want!

Every time I go in, Deux has some new product they've concocted to delight me! The latest was the everything seasoning ham and cheese croissant! Wow, it even looks like a work of art. Almost too good to eat...almost.

They have very limited hours but are open early

Delicious, well worth my 2 mile walk from the beach. Wife was happy to find this place as well. Everything was so delicious, almost croissant!!!

Got only their almond croissant. It was small, didn't have much fillings or toppings. And we found a hair on top of the almond. It was nice of them to give us a new one. But the taste was a miss for me.

Didn't try their bread. Maybe they are better.

Charming hometown bakery with delicous handmade pastries and breads. Super fresh. Also handmade jams and jellies for sale. Worth a visit!

Lovely place. All items are homemade style which is healthy. No much sugar making whole pastries not too sweet. Fresh made and fresh sale everyday. Fatastic place to get your pastry. Two thumbs up!

Try their apple pie with lattice crust. A total yum. Texturous apples in all their glory just sweet enough, and a very satisfying crust. Can't wait to try their other pies. This is a very special little bakery!

I'm really happy I tried the baked goods from here! The lady working was super nice and helpful. I wanted the cinnamon roll, but they were sold out. I was told that you can call before hand to order a cinnamon roll because they're so popular.

I tried the maple bacon biscuit, ham and gruyere cheese croissant, gluten free chocolate muffin, and the sourdough loaf. The maple bacon biscuit was really good, definitely a treat. The croissant was good, but it was a bit on the salty side. The sourdough loaf was fresh, but I personally like my sourdough bread to be a bit more sour. The chocolate

Thankfully Deux Bakery is close to home and open for business. The blueberry coffee cake this morning was delicious. It had a slight lemony flavor which I love. The raspberry muffin was just the right moistness and not too sweet (How I prefer it)
We buy our bread here and they slice it. They have several different types of loaves and we have liked everything we have tried. In normal times, I also get baguettes here; although they can sell out so I'll order ahead if I need one for a dinner.
The owner is usually at the baking table and she's quite nice. Plus, they have homemade dog biscuits

Banana Nutella croissant was buttery and flaky. Surprisingly the banana went really well with it, I will note that the croissant was small but it's as good as Renaud's bakery.
The blueberry scone reminded me of cornbread. I am guessing that it's gluten-free.
Lemon bar was delicious. Did not have the egg taste, was not sour, but something about it made me want to eat more.
The sourdough bread was good, but I wish it was a little bit more sour. My guess is that people in Santa Barbara don't like their sourdough bread super sour like San Francisco style (it's hard to find

Honestly i am not of the generation that feels comfortable sitting for hours, quaffing a coffee and "working" on my laptop. Nor am i old enough to be of the Beatnik generation who supposedly drank coffee, played bongos, wore only black, smoked a lot of spliff and spoke in a hip for the time patois: though this sounds very very cool, doesn't it?
I go to 'bucks, Peets and this place, Jones Roasters for a good shot of Espresso produced from very dark roast beans and for a deep, luxurious cuppa Joe made from same.
I like Jones Roasters coffee. They call it drip here and they offer soy, almond, 1

This place is so great that I find myself ordering things that don't necessarily go together. Today I had a really good fried shrimp with a side of fresh vegetables, followed by a banana cream pastry. Normally I freak out when restaurants multi-task but everything's been good here. The free water is a great perk too.

Deux Bakery, you are #1 (Un) in my heart. Everything I've had here has always been a hit. Danish pastries (cheese, triple berry) are spectacular. Honestly, you don't need to go to Solvang, bc you can find the best Danish pastries here. I've had their raisin snail pastry and that was delightful as well. Each pastry I've had has always been so buttery and flaky, that I'm never disappointed here. I have yet to try their infamous cinnamon roll and croissants, but I'm looking forward to it. By the way, they do sell bread! So get your carb load fix here. The staff here have

This little bakery is definitely a hidden gem in the heart of the East Side. I had been wanting to check this place out ever since I had seen some delicious pics posted by some of my fellow yelpers awhile back. Everything here is made from scratch daily, and that definitely stands out when you bite into one of their yummy treats.

On my visit It was hard to choose what I wanted because everything on display looked amazing! I decided to purchase their cinnamon roll, and maple bacon biscuit. I was a little worried the biscuit wouldn't be that great since it felt hard, but once I got home I

Small footprint with unique baked goods and awesome bread selection. The staff and owners couldn't be more kind. I highly recommended this slightly out of the way, unassuming bakery! Pure Bliss.
