La Bicyclette

Best quiche Lorraine. Perfect texture and flavor complement with lightly dressed French salad

Stopped in for a croissant and a double latte. The croissant was fabulously flaky and beyond buttery. The outdoor seating was comfortable. We went fairly early in the morning and there was ample parking.

Awesome pastries and desserts, and great service!It feels like a little piece of Paris in Santa Barbara. Truly a must-try!

Breakfast at this cafe is pure magic! I never expected to start my morning in Santa Barbara with such incredible flavors. The dishes melted in my mouth; the ingredients were fresh and perfectly chosen. The presentation was captivating—it’s clear they know how to pay attention to detail. This place has definitely become my favorite breakfast spot, one I want to return to again and again.

Incredible brunch/lunch food! Ham, cheese, and egg on croissant melts in your mouth! Egg, tomato, mushroom, cheese, and egg on thickly sliced sourdough is hearty and tasty. Side potatoes are perfectly soft inside with just the right texture skins outside. Seasoned with garlic or something. Outdoor patio seating is great for some sun.

Beautiful and delicious coffee & quiche. Outdoor seating plentiful and a couple tables inside. Staff was friendly and the service was super fast. Great quiet place to get breakfast and sit with friends. Well behaved dogs can sit outside with you.

First time experiencing this establishment. Found it on a morning walk on vacation in Santa Barbara. I ordered the Renauds omelette and a double espresso, and it was a fantastic meal and the omelette was prepared perfectly and served with nice fresh crispy around the edge baguette. I was not dressed the best but Bella who was working the register and walked to serve me at my patio table was fantastic and did not seem to mine my mismatched attire. Bella was 100 percent professional and extremely nice to me and the other customers she engaged with ahead of me in line. If I ever return to Santa Barbara I will surely revisit this restaurant again.

Wonderful morning with a mocha and a yummy croissant to dip into it, plus a side of bacon. Hubby has the breakfast croissant with cheese, ham, egg, and a side of fruit. Lovely place, will recommend to my parents.

Absolutely amazing food. Will definitely be back next time we’re in town. Make sure to grab a dessert too!

If you want the typical European, simple experience then Renauds is for you where a drip coffee and croissant combo nets you around ten bucks. Seating is nestled under beautiful trees and red tile roofed shops.

Fantastic croissants and honestly, probably the best chocolate chip cookie I've ever had. Great place to stop by for a little treat every once in a while.

Fantastic breakfast, friendly staff! I ordered the sandwich and the bread was so buttery and flavorful! The raspberry tart and chocolate chip cookie were also delectable. It was a pretty warm morning so I grabbed their peach mint iced tea and it was phenomenal!!

The croissant is absolutely amazing 🤤 I wish I was hungry enough to try the Croque Monsieur, it looked amazing too.

This place is delicious. As a frenchman I approve of this patisserie. The croissants are just like what you would find in France. I particularly loved the gallette des rois this past January. I often get the pain aux raisin (yum) and the quiche here. The coffee is also very good (I do a flat white with a little chocolate on the side).

What an amazing experience!!!! Lily was so helpful and informative about our options. We went with the Decadent Cake and it was everything that Lily had said it would be. Thank you for exceeding our expectations and my wife and I will definitely be making Renauds our go to for next level deserts.

Best croissant in town! I’m a croissant lover. I’ve tried all popular pastry shops in town and only Renaud’s makes me coming back. They are the only pastry shop downtown that serves king’s cake.

I’m from Paris and this place is exactly like back home !! The real deal authentic french food amazing food fast services and omelette and pototoes were delicious so Was the chocolate eclair!!!!!

Good pastries and great coffee. Friendly service in a nice atmosphere. Can be bust at times, but service is still fast

I love this place for its atmosphere and delicious desserts. Love the breakfasts here, the eggs Benedict is delicious. The staff is friendly. Simple pleasant interior. The place is very popular and it is clear why. Highly recommend. I didn’t like that they don’t clean and wipe the tables, the new visitors have nowhere to sit!!!!

Recently we’ve found ourselves craving a good French bakery and bistro. Personally I blame @jackvelasquez because he recommended this one to us and we found it to be c’est magnifique! 🇫🇷 They claim to offer “A taste of Paris…without the trip to France!” and I have to admit that a resemblance does exist. The croissant was warm, buttery, and flakey, and was filled with fresh and flavorful “copines.” The quiche was masterfully created because it focused its efforts on a limited number of powerful flavors that left the palate in want of nothing. Their coffee and tea offerings are not extensive, but we tried one of each and they were both excellent. I can’t claim to have even attempted to resist the urge to sample their bakery items and felt particularly drawn to their lemon meringue tart and chocolate eclair. Both of them offered decedent flavors and the gold flakes upon the later made us feel quite bougie. We tip our berets to you Jack, this was a great recommendation. 👨‍🎨 And that’s…Henry’s Take. #santabarbarafrenchbakery #santabarbarafrenchbistro

I go to the bakery more uptown frequently enough, didn’t expect this to be that vastly different of an experience. Coffee was burnt, which just ruined the pastry experience. Trash can was hidden off in the corner. Highly recommend taking the time to go to bakery instead, or crush cakes up the road if you don’t want to go that far

I decided to try the strawberries and cream since I was looking for something sweet and the reviews of the place seemed good but I was a little disappointed. The berries and cream I had tasted like onion. The flavor was not strong but somehow it seemed as if the whole dessert had come in contact with onion. Either prepared on a surface that had onion previously or the utensils used were not cleaned properly. I also had a box of macarons and it came with a black hair of about 2 inches in length, I did not take a picture of it but I did ask for a new box. Not everything was bad as I also bought a baguette which was good, orange juice, cappuccino, and the bomb dessert. Maybe on a different day, I won't have the same experience but as a first experience, I am not looking forward to coming here anytime soon, but when I do, I will update this review accordingly. I really hope the quality standards keep up.
