Jeannine's has been part of Santa Barbara's daily rhythm for more than three decades, run by the Hardey family across locations in Montecito, Goleta, and along the shore near West Beach, with a central uptown facility handling the baking. The family has described the menu as a reflection of how they eat at home — simple, wholesome breakfast and lunch dishes made from natural ingredients.
The bakery case is the draw: scratch-made cakes like Texas Chocolate, Strawberry White Chocolate, Carrot, Raspberry White Chocolate, Chocolate Heaven, and Coconut, plus scones sold by the dozen, all available in-house or for pickup. At the shore location, the waterfront setting and patio pull in both regulars and travelers passing through, and repeat visitors keep coming back for both the food and the setting.
The Santa Barbara Independent named Jeannine's among the city's best in its 2025 roundup.
