During my California visit to see Cruzzie at Thacher, I also had the chance to spend a couple days with a beloved friend who moved to Montecito. Not only do I love my friend dearly, but I also love Montecito. It is the most picturesque, paradise, perfect place. This visit, a new bakery, Oat Bakery, opened up at The Montecito Country Mart and OAT MY GOD, (I love puns but can’t take credit for this one — it is from their website) it is so amazing. We went to get a little croissant / baguette / sweetness deliciousness, and three minutes after we left, I went BACK to get more.
The cutest bakery – The Oat Bakery.
Little menu.
The breads!
My friend told me I needed to get the charcoal bread, and because I trust everything she says, I did. And she was right — the most incredible bread there ever was. I am currently trying to figure out a way to get it shipped to NYC so I can eat it more regularly.
YEP, in my carry on suitcase, 1/4 of it was this bread — Charcoal Sesame Bread.
IT WAS DIVINE. I ate half of it (and froze the other half).
Description of the bread.
SO if you are in Southern California– they have two locations — one in Santa Barbara, and one in Montecito. That said, I feel like we are going to be hearing more about this bakery in the near future, and it will be in other places sooner rather than later (they just did a pop up in NYC)…..so delicious.
