Lilac Pâtisserie operates as bakery, café, and pâtisserie at once on State Street in downtown Santa Barbara. Every item, from everyday breads to celebration cakes, comes out of a kitchen that is entirely dedicated gluten-free, so nothing on the menu requires substitution or caveat.
The café side runs breakfast, brunch, and lunch alongside coffee and tea, while the bakery handles pre-order cakes, cupcakes, and dessert platters, plus wedding and event work like sweetheart cakes and bridal shower spreads. Select breads and baking mixes also ship nationwide.
Lilac has built a loyal local following, particularly among gluten-free regulars who treat it as a dependable weekend brunch spot. The Santa Barbara Independent named it among the city's best in 2025.
